You wake up, but don’t open your eyes. Your head is in that spot, that place between Danny’s shoulder and neck. You can’t remember how it got like this. Your history is incredible. You’ve been best friends. You’ve been close. You’ve been punched. You’ve been in love. You were lovers. You’ve been heart broke, and the heart breaker. You watched his relationship with Gaustad. You saw the awkward break up. You moved on. You forgot. You hated each other. You fought. You stopped talking completely.
Somehow, you ended up back on his couch.
You hear Danny flipping through the channels. He pauses on a “Girls Gone Wild” commercial. You wonder where you stand. You always wonder where you stand. Danny keeps flipping.
You feel his hand slide into yours. Every time he touches you, you feel it in your chest. You almost explode.
Danny stops on Animal Planet. You pretend to stir. His hand flies out of yours. You stretch and look up at him.
“Sorry.” You say quietly, even though you don’t mean it. Because you aren’t sorry you fell asleep on him.
“Me too.” He barley says. It’s quiet for a long time. The only sound is the TV and your heart beating loudly in your chest.
“Are we really going to do this all again?” You don’t wait for his answer and you kiss him. You grab his face and kiss him. He puts his hands on your shoulders and pulls you close.
You remember the last time you kissed him. When you kissed and fucked with no feeling. When you stopped loving each other. No love, just lies.
“I…” Danny starts but doesn’t finish. He pushes you back down on the couch, so you are on your back. You missed the way his hands felt on your hips. You look at him.
“I’d take it all back if I could.” He says. His cheeks turn pink. You put a hand on his face.
“No you wouldn’t.” You say with a smile. “But thank you for saying that.”
Danny kisses you and it feels like the first time.
You can’t forget it all, but you don’t care anymore. He is all you care about.
