Defeated (D.J.S)

Little does he know

Issa's POV:

It's been 2 days since I kissed Daniel, and let me tell you not one moment goes by that I don't want to do it again.

But other than a few looks here and there, we haven't really talked much since then.

Does he regret it? Does he hate me now? My mind is going crazy with so many unknown questions. I know if I just ask him, I'll know the truth. But do I really want to know the truth?

My head is saying "Who cares if he doesn't care about the kiss." But then my heart is over here saying "You do, stupid."

Just his name is mentioned, and a whole fucking zoo has a party in my stomach.

My jumbled thoughts are interrupted by my phone ringing.

After the sleepover, Kelly and I went back to the apartment, which is another reason why I haven't talked to Daniel that much. We did go back to hang out with all of them the next day, but we still didn't talk.

I slowly get out of my bed and walk over to my phone that was still ringing. Answering it I put it to my ear without looking at the caller ID. I am greeted with an ear piercing squeal.

"Isabella... If I become deaf I'm blaming you." I say rubbing my ear and putting my phone on speaker.

"If you became deaf then I couldn't rant to you!" She complains as I plop back on my bed.

"Well in that case, can you scream again?" I asked sweetly.

"Ha ha. Very funny. I was going to tell you about the date Zach and I had. But nevermind now." She replies sassily.

Oh that's right. After breakfast that day, Zach asked Isabella out and gave her flowers. It was super cute. Apparently that's what Zach had asked Daniel for help with, right after we kissed.

"What?! I forgot that happened yesterday! Tell me!" I plead.

"I'm only telling you because I want to." She sighs. "Okay okay. So he took me rollerskating, which I had never done before. So I was falling on my ass like every 5 seconds. But it was hilarious because he kept falling with me." I could almost hear her smiling through the phone.

"At some point we both gave up and I now have a bunch of blisters. But it's okay because right after, he took me to an ice cream parlor near the beach! But the girl serving the ice cream there was flirting with Zach. Puta (Bitch). I can't believe her. I was right next to him! I wanted to slap her."

"Okay Isabella, calm down."

"Right. Screw her. Anyway, I got bubble gum ice cream and he got strawberry. And then we sat on the beach eating out ice cream and talking for hours! We watched the sunset together, and then... we..." She squealed like a little kid who just got the gift they had been asking for.

"You what?" I asked curiously.

"WE KISSED!" She screamed through the phone, making me squint my eyes and rub my ears again.

"No way! I'm so happy for you!" I said, truly happy for her.

"Yes way! It was amazing." She gushed.

"Details. Now." I demanded playfully.

"After we finished our ice cream, we were just talking, but then the sunset came and it was sooo pretty! So we kind of came to this comfortable silence, and after a while I looked over at him, but he was already looking at me!" She squealed. "And then we kissed! And his lips are soooo soft!" I heard her sigh. I automatically sighed with her, recalling the kiss Daniel and I had.
