Untangle Me.

John sat there quietly as the rest of the guys messed around with the instruments around them. John had been intensely looking down at his phone, waiting for a call or even a response from Danielle. He had called her many times, left voicemails and texted her in a not normal timely fashion. John was on the verge of being borderline obsessive. It had already been four days since the party and she has yet to talk to him. John was becoming very nervous but he didn’t let it show one bit.

“Has she texted you back?”

John looked up to see Jared taking a seat on the broken down couch. John simply just shook his head before putting up that oh so famous front.

“She’s probably still exhausted from the last time we got together.”

Jared let out a laugh before rolling his eyes. Jared knew that Danielle was ignoring him, everyone did but John. John couldn’t put it through that hard head of his that a girl was getting tired of the famous John O’Callaghan game. Jared also knew that Danielle was spending her time with a certain guy, that wasn’t John.

“Where’s Garrett?” John asked looking around the room. “I haven’t seen the kid for days.”

Everyone stayed quiet looking from one another with a guilty faces printed on each one of them. John looked over at Kennedy who made that face; Kennedy was always a horrible liar.

“What are you assholes hiding?”

John narrowed his eyes on Kennedy knowing he was the easier to break. He watched as Kennedy whistled looking in the opposite direction. John couldn’t help but to laugh, this was going to be too easy.

“Ohh Kenny”, John said with a laugh. “What are you guys keeping from me?”

“Nothing.”

“That was a quick nothing, if it really isn’t anything.”

“Well it doesn’t even matter.”

John looked over at Kennedy who was looking everywhere but John’s eyes. He turned to Pat who was standing there with a smirk. All the guys were excited for Garrett, they were almost proud that he had finally got the girl he had been pining over for years. They were just scared to know how John was going to react to it.

“Where’s Gary?”

John looked over at Jared; John could always count on his best friend to be honest to him. He watched as Jared took in a breath before letting out a loud sigh.

“With Danielle.”

John didn’t care why was that such a big deal? They were always together and Garrett was just Garrett to Danielle, nothing more. That little voice in his head was telling him otherwise but that little voice was always ignored by John. He looked around the room as everyone stayed quiet, like there was more to say. John was nervous; his heart was beating faster as the silence was closing in on him.

“Gary and Danny are kind of”, Jared said as John narrowed his eyes in on his best friend. “Together.”

John was brought back down to earth and his heart was feeling something he wasn’t use to. He couldn’t believe it, so he let out a laugh. Why would someone like Danielle want someone like Garrett, Garrett wasn’t anything like what Danielle wanted. What Danielle wanted was John, and Garrett was nothing like John.

“You’re full of shit.”

The guys were all confused by John’s reaction; the laughing made them even more nervous. Jared nodded his head, having more balls then the rest of his friends to tell John the truth.

“Nah, it’s the truth”, Jared said as John’s face fell. “They kissed the other night and then talked about it the next morning. They’re on some date right now, sorry man”, he said hitting John’s shoulder.

Jared knew John liked Danielle more than just sexually, Jared saw the way John looked at her. The way he spoke so highly of her. Jared knew this was hurting him more than he was giving off.

John just simply shrugged his shoulders bottling up all the hurt and jealously feelings that were on the verge of making an appearance. John just simply let out a laugh before taking a seat with his legs crossed over and the phone in his hand.

“Pussies, pussy man.”

John let out a laugh before looking down at his phone. He knew he fucked up, he had feelings for the girl and he just let it fall right out of his hands. John knew what he had to do.

Sorry Gary.

“Are you hungry?”

Garrett looked over at Danielle as they walked out of the movie theatre hand in hand. Garrett couldn’t help but to keep his eyes on the beautiful girl the whole night. He loved the old Danielle, the Danielle that didn’t wear revealing outfits. The Danielle that would wear jeans and a hoodie and still look gorgeous, that was his Danielle and he loved it.

“Duh”, she said with a laugh as she moved her body into his. “We did watch a whole lot of gore and guts, I’m starving.”

“You’re the only girl that I know that could watch hours of guts and gore and still want to eat after.”

“I think I might be the only girl that actually likes to eat”, she said with a laugh. “Explains this hot body.”

Garrett let out a laugh before pulling her closer to his body. “I love your body.”

With one statement Danielle was in a fit of Goosebumps. She never thought Garrett as being sexy, but the way he said things at times were the sexiest things she had ever heard. She leaned in and pressed her lips against his softly before getting into his yellow car.
Garrett was constantly touching Danielle’s body, in a way it seemed like he wanted to make sure this was all real. Wanted to make sure that Danielle was really there, was really the girls kissing him. As they sat there eating their food, talking about the movies they’ve seen time and time again but Garrett couldn’t keep his eyes off the girl in front of him and how lucky he was to have a chance with someone as amazing as Danielle.

“And you’re still eating.”

Danielle looked over at Garrett rolling her eyes. “You know my weakness is ice cream.”

“And Takis.”

“Don’t forget Arizona Ice Tea and Sour Patch Kids”, she said with smirk.

“Watermelon.”

“Watermelon”, Danielle said with a smirk. “Those sound good.”

“How about we get some?”

Danielle couldn’t help but to smile as she nodded her head grabbing Garrett’s hand. They made their way to Garrett’s car as they sang along to Ryan Adams at the top of their lungs. Garrett had always been attracted to Danielle’s taste of music; there was nothing better than a girl with a passion for good music. They got to the liquor store only down the street from Danielle and Amanda’s apartment. They walked down the street laughing as they threw candy in each other’s mouth.

“Give me one!”

Garrett let out a laugh before popping one in her mouth. “Ah!”She said with a smirk. “That’s the stuff.”

“It’s the end of the world and you could only have one package food for the rest of your life, what would it be?”

Garrett turned to Danielle waiting for an answer. This was a usual game between the two; they loved these stupid questionnaires, ultimatums were always a fun game for the two.

“I have to say Sour Patch Kids”, she said with a nod. “What about you?”

“Same answer.”

Danielle gave him a smile before popping another one in her mouth. “Betty White or the grandmother in Beer fest?”

“Betty White”, he said with a laugh. “Donald Trump or Hugh Heffner?”

“Heff all the way baby.”

Garrett let out a laugh as they got closer to her apartment. Suddenly the two got very nervous, they didn’t want this date to end and they really didn’t want it to end on an awkward note.

“I had fun tonight”, Danielle said with a laugh. “Thank you for taking me to a horror film marathon and buying me sour patch kids, you know the way to my heart.”

Garrett wished that was true, he wish he had her heart already. He nodded his head with a smile before getting closer to her body.

“You’re the only person that would appreciate something as awesome as a horror film marathon.”

“Duh.”

Danielle was nervous, she wanted so badly to kiss him and take him back to her room. She grabbed Garrett’s hands out in front of her with a smile.

“Danielle Bailey or Natalia Portman?”

Garrett let out a laugh before pressing his lips against hers softly. A quick kiss turned into something much more once their mouths were slightly open taking each other in. She pulled away with a smirk as she pressed her forehead against his.

“Did you pick yet?”

He let out a laugh before pressing his lips against hers. “You over anyone.”

Danielle couldn’t help but to blush before pressing her lips against his once more. She felt her back being pressing against her door as Garrett’s hands were wrapped around her waist pulling her hips into him. Garrett loved this moment, loving the taste of her against his lips. Danielle wanted to take him in, so she pulled away from his mouth. Their lips swollen and the look of lust plastered on both of their faces.

“Did you wanna come in?” she asked with a seductive smile pressing her lips against his neck.

Garrett didn’t like this Danielle, didn’t like the sexual girl. Part of his was turned on but the other part was reminded of John and her. He didn’t want her to think Garrett was just another guy trying to get in her pants, didn’t want to be compared to John.

“I have to wake up in the morning”, he said with a smile before pressing his lips against hers once last time. “See you tomorrow?”

Danielle was stunned; she didn’t understand why Garrett didn’t want to come inside. Did he not want her like that? Did he not think she was attractive enough to see naked? She was embarrassed but just nodded her head before putting on a fake smile.

“Are you sure you don’t want to come inside”, she said with a smile before rubbing her hands up and down his chest.

It took every part of Garrett to resist the girl. He wanted her badly but not like this, he wanted it to mean something. He didn’t want sex; he wanted to make love to her. He nodded his head before pressing his lips against her forehead.

“See you tomorrow beautiful.”

She nodded her head before opening her door. She turned around to catch Garrett’s glance of hesitation before walking away. Danielle walked in through the door and made her way to her bed. Was she not good enough for Garrett?

Garrett sat in his car for a good twenty minutes. He wanted so desperately to just run in there and make love to her, make her feel good. The thought alone was making him hard but he kept his composure and drove his way him. He was never going to be like John, he was better for Danielle and everyone knew it.

Danielle Bailey. (Mobile) 2:51:18 AM.
I had a lot of fun Gary, thank you<3

He hoped that she was staring to figure out that he was the one for her as well.
