This couldn't be happening . The first day I bring a boy home my dad is here . What was I going to do ?
Night was genuinely concerned , " Is this a problem ? "
" No , it's fine " I lied . I told him goodbye and got out of the car .
As I walked to the gate I looked back and Night was still there . He was probably looking around the place . I tripped and everything seemed to blur . When I came back to myself I was in Night's arms and my father was looking down at me . Night held me as if I was his world . He looked me deeply in my eyes , and in that moment I was in love and I didn't know how I could feel this way about someone I had just met . I felt like I belonged there .He looked away quickly as if he read my mind and didn't feel the same way . I forgot my father was there . He peered down at me annoyed by my silence .
"Hey Daniel " I finally said .
I hadn't called him dad since I was in middle school .Night let me go slowly examining my body , his eyes asking me if I was okay .
"Are you okay ?" Daniel asked in his always too brusque voice while pulling me to my feet and hugging me tightly . He smelled divine , maybe it was his cologne or maybe I just missed him all together .Daniel was tall, thin, and very handsome . His smile was perfectly white and caught the eye of every woman in his range . Daniel's eyes matched mine and his skin was white but you could tell he had recently got a tan . He was forty but didn't look a day over twenty-five .
Night looked very uncomfortable . I turned my back from my dad .
" Thank you " I said holding my head down brushing off my clothes .
"You okay ?"
"Yes I'm fine ." I reassured him .
He walked off slowly , when he reached his car he waved . But he drove off so fast that I couldn't wave back . I knew the conversation that was about to take place between my father and I but I wasn't sure I was ready for it .
When we got inside , the silence began to eat away at me .
"So Daniel , how was your trip ?" I asked not really caring .
He read my mind .
"Since when do you ever care about my trips ?"
He looked in my direction then chuckled a little .
"So who was he ?" he asked .
"Just a friend ."
"You didn't look at him as if he was your friend ."
Holy crap he noticed . I wonder if Night noticed .
" He's really just a friend Daniel . His name is Night and he goes to my school ."
He smiled at me and dropped the situation because he felt the tension .
The rest of my night was spent answering my Daniel's questions on why I don't use the money placed in my account and have I gotten the many gifts he's sent me .
The most brightest stars are afraid to shine , but boy when they do it is a sight to see . The greatest stars show little potential but when the grow , nothing in the universe can escape their glimmer . I wasn't afraid to be who I wanted to be , I was afraid to be exposed . Magically exposed . Lovely exposed . Beautifully exposed . Exposed . But the stars around me invested bits of their light so that I could be bright . So exposed I was for all the stars to see , it was until then that they could invest in me .
