Daisie Dae stood in the hallway of the penthouse apartment, she sighed slightly, shaking her head she went to turn away, her long legs clad in black leather look leggings, a plaid shirt thrown over a vest top. She steels herself, turning back to the door and rings the bell.
Immediately, she starts adjusting her outfit, pulling at her shirt and primping her hair, nervous for the first time in her short life as she waits… It only takes a moment for him to reach the door and swing it open, she smiles, a genuinely relieved smile when he doesn’t immediately slam the door in her face..
“Hey” Austin looked confused at Daisie, his eyes darting from side to side as he clears his throat nervously. “I wasn’t...I wasn’t expecting you.” He stepped back and held the door open for her trying to calm himself not sure as to what he was supposed to be feeling or thinking.
Daisie smiled slightly and shrugged, stepping into the room she turned to face him “Ay, well yah weren’t answerin’ my calls or nothin’ Merc...” she turns away from him and wanders into the apartment, wrapping her hands over her arms, almost hugging herself… “An’ since there seemed to be a lil somethin’ on yah mind… I figured I’d come by an’ see if we can’t get it all taken care of..?”
Austin scoffs and shakes his head breezing past her as the door shuts behind him. Austin thinks for a moment trying to put the words together. “Taken care of?...you mean talk or...something else?..cause I got to tell you Daze...I can’t scratch your itch right now…” Austin growls the last few words and folds his arms. “Maybe Gray Malone or one of the other guys can….”
Daisie shakes her head, turning to face him now “Really bothers ya tha I went to Cancun for a weekend with him don’t it?” she shakes her head again, obviously confused as she throws her arms up in her air “Why…. Why do ya care?!” she laughs slightly now “Ain’t like i’m eva gonna be more than a…. Friend.”
He laughed it off and ran a hand through his long brown hair. “That ain’t what bothered me Daze. I was slightly miffed that I offered a job and I wanted to spend time with you only to find out someone else already did…” He sighs deeply and throws his hands out. “I don’t want to be second best, and I guess friends is all we can be...it’s all you want but...I can’t…”
He pauses for a moment and grits his teeth. “We can’t….scratch each others itches and be friends...so we can be friends but you’ll have to find others cause I will always want...more…” she nods slowly, looking everywhere but him now…
“Ay, but did it occur to yah to even ask wha I wanted?” she folds her arms over her chest tightly “Ya offered tha job an then took it back… All ah said was that i’d been offered anotha job...not tha I took it… Or even wanted it.” she shakes her head and takes a couple of steps back, turning away…
“Look, Sugah… ah ain’t here to fight, it ain’t my style…” she wanders over to the window and looks out onto the streets below as she pauses to collect her thoughts “And I ain’t here to fuck neither… “
Austin cleared his throat and stepped towards her a little “Then why are you here? You made it clear what you didn’t want, and I tried Daze….I don’t want to be that guy...I don’t want you tied down cause I know you don’t want it…”
He looks away and swallows hard, his hands clasping together. “You want to be able to do what you want when you want and some guys will always be ok with that...I’m...sorry I’m not...so I understand if this is where we part...just know that I care about you….I care alot…”
She nods slightly and turns to face him, shaking her hair back with a small sigh… “I’m here because I wanna try…” she swallows hard, looking down at her feet… “I ain’t sayin I can hold your hand or cook ya dinner or nothin…” she shrugs slightly, uncertain in her words… “But.. I wanna work witchu an.. I think if there is anyone who can be just… One….” she glances up at him, the words barely coming out “Then it’s you.”
Austin smiles and looks down with a blush, he looks up at her and then his eyes dart away. “Man Daze…” He steps forward towards her very tentative and almost shy with a grin. “I want to work with you to, and If you want to try and make...you and me..work...then I can definatly get behind that….”
He gets closer, not yet touching her with an awkward grin. “I don’t want to force you into anything, but if you want to try...and if you need time I understand…” He grins and reaches out stroking her cheek before lightly kissing her lips. “Sorry..was that too….coupley?”
She turns her face to his hand for a moment, closing her eyes a little before she laughs and turns back to face him once more… “I ain’t callin’ you my beau or nothin’” she leans in a little and hooks a finger into the belt loop on his jeans, leaning up on her tiptoes she kisses him softly, sighing to herself as she drops back to her feet….
“But I ain’t eva gonna do that to nobody else neither…” Austin just smiles and slides his hands around her waist before kissing her back, with a little extra passion than he ever kissed anyone else before. “I can live with that….but...what do we do now?...we can...go to the bedroom...or…”
Austin looks over at the TV with a laugh. “We can totally not be a couple and not sit there and watch TV in each others arms..cause...we’re not those kinds of people right?” Daisie laughs slightly, wriggling free of his arms she wanders over to the couch…
“No Cuddlin’” she smirks slightly as she leans on the back of the couch, before rounding it and sitting down, patting the seat next to her with an arch of her brow… “Well, ya sittin’ or what sugah?”
Austin slides around the couch and next to Daisie with a yawn and his arm “accidently” resting around her. “No cuddling...just….my arm was tired….” He smiles warmly at Daisie and sits back turning on the TV with a contented sigh.
