Just Love Me For Me.

"Danielle! What time is Zoey coming to get you?" My mom called from downstairs. I was staying at Zoey's house for the night. I was pretty excited to say the least.

"Um, she should be here in about twenty minutes." I called back. I buried myself in my closet looking for clothes to wear the next day. Next thing I know, I hear my bedroom door shut. I turned around to see who came in, but there was no one there. I walked over and opened my bedroom door. "Hello?" I called. No one responded. I shrugged my shoulders and went back to my closet. My window was open, so the wind must have blown the door shut.

"GOTCHA!" Damion yelled, tickling my sides.

"HOLY SHIT!" I screamed, whirling around to find my brother laughing his ass off. I could feel my heart going a hundred and fifty miles per hour. "Damion! You little shit! Why did you do that? Where the hell did you hide?" I said catching my breath.

"I saw an opportunity and I took my chance. I also slid under your bed as quick as I could." He grinned ear from ear. I couldn't help but let out a little giggle. "Okay! We are finally alone. Can you please tell me what happened between you and Zoey last week. I've been dying!" He said sitting down on my bed. I quickly opened my door again to check and see if anyone was coming. I never got the chance to talk to Damion about what happened because we were both super busy and never got any time alone with each other.

I sat down on the bed next to him and took a deep breath. "Okay. So you know that Brett and I broke up. Well, after we got off the phone Zoey showed up around the corner and saw me. I just flat out told her that it was over between Brett and I. There was no point in saying nothing because she knows me as well as you do. I explained everything to her and then... she just started saying all these nice things about me. I was really surprised by what she was saying and then... she just kissed me." I blushed. Damion's eyes widened.

"What did you do?!"

"Well, when we pulled away, I just kind of blurted out 'I love you'... and she said it back." I blushed harder.

"She told you she loved you?!" Damion's eyes nearly popped out of his head. I nodded with the biggest smile that I could manage.

"Then, I just kissed her again." I giggled.

"Awe, Dani! That's is the cutest thing ever!" He gushed. His face immediately went from happy to horror. I couldn't help but laugh.

"Okay, when did I get another little sister?" I teased.

"I have been spending way to much time with you and your damn friends. Now, if you excuse me, I have to go chop some wood and do some other manly things to get my dignity back." He said and quickly evacuated my room. I couldn't help but laugh harder.

"Yes, Damion. Go do your manly things. Get all the girliness out of you." My brother turned back to my doorway and flipped me off, then shut my door. I laughed and went back to packing my bag for Zoey's.

While my back was turned, I heard my door open. "Did you forget your skirt?" I laughed, thinking it was Damion. I felt a pair of skinny arms wrap around my waist and someone's lips close to my ear.

"Since when did I start wearing skirts?" An angelic voice whispered in my ear.

"Zoey!" I said spinning around and hugged the beautiful girl. She laughed and pecked my lips.

"So, who forgot their skirt?" Zoey asked, picking up my bag and started heading out of my room.

"Oh, Damion. I was telling him about what happened last week and he got super girly. It was pretty funny." I said and let out another chuckle.

"What a girl." Zoey laughed.

"I know. Hey, let me carry my own bag." I said attempting to grab it. She held the bag out of my reach.

"Why? Do you have something secretive in here that you are hiding from me?"

"No, but I have two working arms and I can carry my own things."

"But, you are my guest so I will be nice."

"We're at my house."

"Oh well." She winked.

I just smiled and shook my head. "Bye, mom! I'll see you tomorrow." My mom yelled bye back and told me to behave. Zoey and I walked out the front door and saw Damion shooting baskets.

"Yeah! You go Damion! Get your manliness back!" Zoey teased.

"Shut up, Zoey." Damion said and stuck his tongue out at her.

"Love you, baby bro." I smirked and climbed into the passenger side of Zoey's Malibu. Zoey waved bye to Damion and started the car.

"So, are you ready for tonight?" Zoey asked.

"Should I be scared?"

"Just a little bit."
