we all rush back to the living room. we see brian, mariah n alex laughing really hard at a i think a tiktok. they can't stop laughing. wait alex's laugh is the cutest.

i just want to make her mine already. but 2 days into knowing each other is going way to fast n she needs to open up wit me. i just have to-

jack: alex we need to send our manager your work
alex: huh ?
zach: we need to send some of your pictures that you took so he can decide if he wants you to be our photographer.
alex: oh okay. um my macbook is in my car. i'll go get it.
daniel: n i'll come with you
alex: okay

end pov

i get up n daniel follows behind me. daniel opens up the door for me n we head out to my car.

alex: how did it go?
daniel: eh could've been better to be honest.
alex: what did he say about us moving in to the guest house?
daniel: at first he said no right away n then we made him think about it. now he wants to see if you're a good photographer. but the call ended pretty quick so we started talking about yo- actually never mind
alex: no started talking about what?
daniel: i didn't say anything about that
alex: stop playing dumb daniel. what were y'all talking about?
daniel: i'm not gonna tell you
alex: yes you are
daniel: no i'm not
alex: okay we'll just stay out here until you tell me.
daniel: okay then.
alex: okay

we make it to my car. i unlock it n take my bag out. i close my trunk n i jump onto it so i can sit because we're gonna stay out here for a long time if daniel isn't gonna tell me. it's been 2 minutes

daniel: okay we were talking about you n mariah
alex: haha i knew you would tell me.

we started walking back to their house.

alex: but what about us?
daniel: okay that i'm not telling you because oh look we made it back to the house. awe how sad
alex: i'll get it out of you eventually.
daniel: we'll see about that.
alex: yep

he opened the door n then we head back in. i sit on the couch wit my bag n i take out my macbook. i put in my password n go into my album of all my pictures i took this year. then jack takes my laptop

jack: we'll be in the backyard again.

the rest of the group follows jack to the backyard n they close the door behind em

mariah: that was weird haha
brian: yeah lowkey
alex: okay but like daniel told me sum
mariah n brian: about what?!?
alex: well he said that the talk wit their manager could've gone better but yeah. then he said the call was pretty quick so they started talking about us. about us mariah
mariah: oh my god. no way!??
alex: yeah
brian: okay but what about you guys?
alex: that's what daniel didn't tell me. but i'll get it out of him. i know i will
brian: wait alex i overheard you n mariah whispering
mariah: were we that loud?
brian: not really but i was sitting close to you guys
alex: true okay but what?
brian: did you tell daniel what happened with
alex: no i'm scared to. like what if he's gonna get annoyed wit what i'm saying or what if he's a dick n not care about it
brian: okay wanna know what i think?
alex: of course
brian: i feel that daniel is trustworthy. i can see it deep down. n i can tell that he cares for you. a lot. even tho y'all met yesterday. i just know he's genuine n has the right intentions.
mariah: see that's what i said. alex i know you have trust issues after but maybe talking about it to someone new n not us, it would be refreshing. it would feel good.
alex: i don't know y'all...
brian: the problem is that you do know. you do wanna talk to him. i know you do. you're just scared to talk to him. you're scared it open up to him
mariah: because last time you opened up to a guy he manipulated you n did something terrible that broke you
alex: yeah. i know i can trust him but i don't know if that made any sense.
brian: then get to know him more and get closer to him
mariah: and i can so tell daniel likes you. n i know you like him too. ever since why don't we started you had your eye on daniel
alex: yeah but i knew it was never gonna happen
brian: well look now. look around you. we're in their house. you've hung out wit em. you n daniel drove here together.
mariah: it's not a dream anymore. it's not
alex: ugh okay. y'all are right
mariah n brian: i know we are
alex: when n how i should tell him?
brian: well start later. like y'all know each other for 2 days now. maybe when it's a week.
mariah: or just do it when you're ready. that might take long but he'll still be here for you by that time. i know he will.
alex: okay
