Untangle Me.

“You’re beautiful.”

Danielle could feel his rough hands caress her face softly. She felt his rough finger tips dance across her rosy cheeks. She felt his fingers tracing her face until they reached her lips. Danielle softly kissed his fingers top with a smile across her face.

“No I’m not”, she said sheepishly as his fingers left her face and found them around her waist. “I’m awkward looking.”

Garrett let out a laugh before pressing his lips to her nose with a laugh. “You’re gorgeous.”

Danielle blushed feverish and Garrett couldn’t help but to smile. He loved that he had that power, that power to make a girl like Danielle, blush. His favorite time of the day was when he could spend time with the beautiful girl that was in his arms. At this very moment, this very moment with Danielle in bed, he was the happiest he could ever be.

“So like I told you we’re doing a small tour just around Arizona and California”, Garrett said as he was finding it really hard to process words with what Danielle was doing with her hand on his lower stomach. “Just small acoustic shows and such”, he said taking in a breath trying to think of anything but her hand going lower and lower. “Just for two weeks or so and I want you to come with us.”

Danielle had a smirk on her lips loving the way she made Garrett squirm, but once that sentence left his sweet lips she stopped what she was doing and stared into his blue eyes.

“Wait, what?”

Garrett laughed at her adorable confused look on her face. “I want you to come with us.”

“Like your band?”

Garrett couldn’t help but to laugh before nodding his head. “Yes.”

“Like on tour?”

“Yeah”, he said with a laugh. “What do you not get?” he said with another loud hardy laugh.

Danielle was surprised, but she wasn’t sure why. Garrett had asked her many times before to go on tour with them, even it was for a couple of days but Danielle would constantly decline. The thought of being on a tour was too much for Danielle, she hated the feeling of being in confined places for a long time.

“Why you want me to go on tour with you.”

Garrett just laughed as he wrapped his arms around her waist holding her body closer to his body. Danielle couldn’t help but to giggle as her body rolled on top of his. Their lips met in a sweet kiss, wide smiles on both of their faces.

“What do you say?”

“I don’t know”, she said leaning in to kiss his lips once again. “I have work.”

“Ask for the days off”, he said giving in to her attempt to deepen the kiss.

“Amanda.”

“Amanda will love being home alone.”

Danielle couldn’t help but to laugh as she nodded her head in agreement. Amanda loved being home alone, she loved being alone most of the time. For such a social person she was a very antisocial roommate at times. Both Danielle and Amanda enjoyed their space and said ‘alone time’, so this idea of going on tour was looking like hell to Danielle at this point.

“It’s only going to be two weeks”, he said knowing Danielle better than anyone. “And the majority of the time we’re going to be staying at hotels.”

“Can I think about it?”

Garrett knew she was going to be difficult about this but he was prepared. He nodded his head before leaning his lips to capture hers in a heated kiss. Their lips were meshing together as their tongues slid softly against each other. Garrett softly titled his head to the side as their kiss got more heated and passionate. His hands were all over her body as hers found their way to his chest, going lower and lower.

Danielle wanted sex with Garrett, she needed sex. Danielle was never the overly sexual person but sex was on Danielle’s mind constantly. Sex with Garrett was at the top of her to do list and she wanted to cross that off right now. When Danielle moved her hand down into his pants gripping on his softly, she was pleased by the slight moan coming from Garrett’s mouth as he pulled away from her lips. Danielle instantly leaned in but was stopped by a hand on her chest and a hand grabbing hers.

“Stop”, she heard him say looking into his eyes. “Too much.”

As much as Garrett wanted to, he couldn’t. He couldn’t do it with Danielle, just yet. He wanted her to be all his when they did. He wanted to call her his girlfriend; he wanted to know what the fuck was going on between them before they took it to that level. Garrett never really cared about titles and he didn’t care about having sex with girls that were his girlfriend before but things were different with Danielle. He needed things to be different with a girl like her, she deserved so much more.

“Don’t you want me?”

That sentence alone made the mistake in his pants grow larger. He stared into those lustful brown eyes and he wanted to kill himself.

“I want you more than anything, obviously”, he said awkwardly before placing his hands on her almost bare chest. “I just want this to be right.”

Danielle looked up at Garrett feeling him on her leg; she knew he wanted her she just didn’t understand why he wouldn’t just have his way with her like any normal guy. Danielle simply nodded her head before pulling her body away from his with a fake smile on her lips.

“We should get ready for the bonfire”, she said sitting up and throwing her legs over the bed. “I’m going to hop in the shower.”

“Are you mad?”

Danielle turned around with a fake smile on her lips before shaking her head with a small awkward laugh.

“Of course not Gary.”

She leaned over pressing her hot lips against his before walking off to the bathroom. With the door shut behind her she let her body fall back against the cold wooden door. Her face was flushed and her body was hot. She stared at herself in the mirror overanalyzing everything. Pin pointing all of her flaws as she stared back at her reflection with a sad look on her face. She just rolled her eyes with frustration before stepping into the waterfall of warm water hoping she wasn’t going to drown in her own thoughts.

Fuck.

Garrett let out another loud fuck before throwing his body back on the bed with a groan. Why couldn’t he just have her the way he wanted to? Garrett so badly wanted to open that bathroom door and take Danielle’s wet body in his and make love to her. The things he wanted to do with that body was enough to drive him crazy. At this moment as Garrett laid in Danielle’s get completely aroused on the verge of having a severe case of blue balls, he wished he could be more like John O’Callaghan.

Fuck am I such a little pussy.

“Fuck you John!” Melissa yelled at her ex-boyfriend. “Always such an asshole.”

John couldn’t help but to smirk as he looked down at Melissa’s twin Ashley with a laugh before putting up his hand with an annoyed look on his face.

“Just because me and your sister destroyed your ass at beer pong there is no need to get crazy on me, bitch.”

“Yeah!”

“Babe, come on”, Tim said with an annoyed look on his face as he drank the losing cups of beer. “I thought you loved me.”

“I’m starting to rethink that”, she said with a laugh. “I don’t date losers!”

“Oooo burn!” John yelled mimicking Kelso from That 70’s show.

Tim just simply laugh as he dumped the cups of beer in two separate cups with a pissed off look on his face as he passed the other one to Melissa.

“Never going to be your partner again”, he said with a roll of his eyes. “You were trolling hardcore, if I were an asshole I’d make you sit under the table.”

“Whatever”, Melissa said with an annoyed look on her face before turning to her twin sister. “I hate your boyfriend.”

Ashley simply just laughed before walking on the other side of the table. “Let’s get me a drink, since I was thirsty most of the game.”

“Get me one too”, John yelled with a smirk. “Baby cakes.”

Tim just simply rolled his eyes as the girls walked away. John looked over at Tim with a laugh walking over to him with that famous smirk on his lips.

“Have you ever asked them for a threesome?”

“No”, Tim said in disgust before letting out a laugh. “When you were with Melissa did you?”

“Dude first off that was like years ago”, he said with a laugh. “And of course I did, I’m not an idiot like you.”

Tim just simply laughed before taking a look around the small backyard, a few friends just drinking around the big fire that was set up. Tim was waiting for the moment that Danielle and Garrett were going to show up, that was the talk of the town. And when they walked into the backyard hand in hand everyone stared over at them with smiles on their faces, everyone except John.

“You weirded out by that?”

John didn’t hear Tim but instead stared off at Danielle, he couldn’t help but to think how beautiful she looked. In merely jeans, a Smiths shirt and a jacket but she looked gorgeous. John couldn’t help but to feel disgusted by the linked fingers out in front of him, he wanted so desperately to just tear them apart.

“Hey man, can you do me a favor?”

Tim turned to look at his friend with a look of confusion. “What’s up?

John didn’t answer him but merely just walked away, walking straight to the smiling couple out in front of him. Tim watched with his beer in hand with a shake of his head. He knew this was going to be bad news.

“Hey guys”, Danielle and John heard as they looked up to see the taller boy staring down at them with a grin. “Gary, Tim wanted to talk to you about something.”

Garrett looked up at him skeptically before turning to look at Danielle with a smile. “About what?”

“I honestly don’t know”, John said with a sly smile. “Just go talk to him man.”

Garrett turned to Danielle, their hands still knotted together. He gave her a smile before pressing his lips to hers, knowing the rise that was going to give John. Danielle knew this was what he was doing and she didn’t like it at all, she didn’t want to look like some prize that he had won. She pushed away from Garrett giving him a strange look.

“Don’t worry I’ll take care of your girl.”

Danielle looked over at Garrett who had an annoyed look on his face. Garrett gave John a stern look before walking over to a very confused Tim.

“Real smooth John”, Danielle said with a laugh as she crossed her arms over her chest. “Distract the protector to get the prey.”

“What in the world are you talking about, Danielle?”

Danielle couldn’t help but to laugh at how ridiculous he sounded. “I’m sure”, she said with a laugh before looking up and into his green eyes.

“I really hated seeing that.”

“Seeing what?”

“You know”, he said with a disgust look on his face. “You and Gary holding hands”, he said with a shake of his head before looking over at the two boys discussing something. “It was icky.”

“Icky?”

“That’s what I said.”

Danielle couldn’t help but to find John adorable the way he spoke, the way he smiled and those obnoxious facial expressions.

“So who’s better?”

John looked over at her in all seriousness, the jealousy oozing all over the place. The small backyard was filled with John’s every growing terror of jealousy. John watched as Danielle’s head popped back up to meet his green eyes. His knees felt weak, why did his knees feel weak?

“Excuse me?”

“You know what I mean Danny”, he said with his hands in his pocket. “Between me and Garrett, who was better?”

John wanted to know, his ego needed it. John needed to know who was a better lover; he needed to be one up on this kid. For all John knew Garrett could be a closet freak in the sheets, John was just hoping he was something more along the lines of a minute man.

“That’s none of your business.”

“Did he make you feel good, the way that I did”, John said getting closer to her body as his hot breath touched her cheek. “Did he make you scream his name, the way that I did?”

John was gaining confidence by the way Danielle was shaken up. His hot words were making Danielle very nervous and horny, but still nervous. She simply just shook her head trying to regain composures, regain the confidence that was slowly falling apart at the words of a very cocky John.

“We haven’t”, she said stuttering over her words. “We haven’t been intimate.”

John was shocked; he couldn’t help but to laugh. Garrett was a bigger loser than he thought. She obviously didn’t want to have sex with him and John couldn’t help but to smirk.

“You won’t give it up?”

Danielle couldn’t help but to feel offended by John’s words. She turned to look at him, her face redder than ever.

“It’s actually the other way around”, she said with a small laugh looking over at the two boys finishing up whatever fake conversation Tim had in the back of his pocket. “Some guys want more than just sex, John”, she said with an annoyed tone of voice gaining her confidence by the disappearing smirk. “Bye John.”

John watched as Danielle made her way back to Garrett, giving him a soft kiss on his lips. That kiss was just show, to show John that he wasn’t wanted. But John saw right through that speech, he saw right through Danielle. That smirk was back on his lips as he watched Garrett and Danielle sat there awkwardly, far from each other. He watched as they placed innocent kisses on each other, he watched the boredom in Danielle’s face.

“What the fuck was that smile about?” Tim asked as he stared at his friend worried.

“I’m winning a game that I’m not even playing.”
