Whispered Dreams chapter 13
Danny is Back...
Zoey's point of view
Jonathan is back... I couldn't be happier. It seems finally everything is falling back to place. Jonathan was out for I don't know 6 months? Past two years his work has been hell for us... most of the time he is out of the country or something for his business trip, it's just crazy. Anyway, I'm just happy he's back (even though just for a short while).
Today we planned to spend the time in the beach, you know bonding time. So here we are at the beach, discussing everything we can possibly think of. We talked a few times through phone but nothing compares to the face to face talk.
"Dad, you are leaving again..." I don't know why I said that, it wasn't even a question; it was a statement, more like a declaration.
He seemed confuse by the turn of conversation, but he replied easily, "Yes, honey but just like last time I'll leave and I'll be back"
"When?"
Just the thought of him leaving again made me nervous. It gets difficult to get used to the eerie silence in the house when he's not there.
"I'll be leaving in July, I know it's really soon, but its good news as well..."
I titled my head to the side, trying to see his point. Didn't see it...
"After this trip, I will settle to the branch here, so I won't be leaving again... ever..."
"Really?? "
I jumped in happiness, now finally I can start having those father-daughter things. It really was great news.
"Okay Zoey... you stay here... I think I just saw Uncle Billy over there... I'll be back soon... why don't you go take a walk?"
Weird... why did he change his tone? Something is definitely up. But I couldn't think about it much, I was too happy... so I went for a walk towards a less crowded area.
I can't remember the last time I was this happy, I aimlessly took the walk around the beach thinking about everything that happened this past week, everything just seemed to work its way around. Everything was normal. Oh wait... I still have the dreams... that stupid girl always appears in my dream leaving me scare out of my wits every morning. They say morning dreams comes true right?
I cringed at the thought of the girl appearing in front of me for real. CREEPY!
"What? You don't like what you see?" a guy half-naked with perfect tan and a perfect body standing right in front of me said.
Wow... I was so busy thinking those stupid thought that I didn't see this guy in front of me. Hey wait... that's Danny.
"Hey Danny...sorry I didn't see you there"
"You always know how to insult me don't you?"
"What... what are you talking about?"
"Well first, you were in my calc last year and you don't even remember me, second, I give you my number and you don't even bother to call, third, I ask if you don't like what you see, seeking a you know... 'Oohh I love what I see' reply and you reply, 'sorry didn't see you there'? That's insulting, you know..."
"Danny... I didn't mean it... I was just thinking to myself and I didn't see you and of course I like what I see."
Damn did I just say that?
He chuckled, and I couldn't help myself and I joined in.
"Well..." he began again.
"Well?"
"Well ... why didn't you call me? Did you lose my number?"
"No I have your number..." I said.
"So..."
"You asked me to call if I wanted to talk to you..."
"You didn't wanna talk to me?" He looked kinda hurt.
"No... I mean... didn't you give that just to you know... try to console me??"
"What? Seriously?? You're one thick head girl... okay... I wanted you to call me so that we could you know... have late night talks and you know... maybe talk about date plans.... Something like that"
"Oh... so it was like that...sorry I'd love to... but I'm taken by that man there..." I pointed to my father.
"Wow... tough competition, I'll tell you what... if you ever get a chance to be free give me a call... you really have my number right?"
I smiled, "yeah... but don't hold your breath for that call, I'll be occupied for a long time." I winked
It was light flirting and Danny looked hot. I couldn't help myself.
"Zoey... honey you ready? Your mom's here... lets go?" dad said.
"Okay.... See ya later Danny...and nice running into you..."
He acknowledged Jonathan with a nod and turned around running to the water. All I could do was smile; he was a sweet guy, always straight to point, different from me, of course. harmless flirting never hurts, right??
