Ｄａｉｓｙ woke up so early feeling cozy and vibrant, she even beat her alarm clock before it started ringing. The rising sunlight was peeking in the cleft of her window as she basked the warm glow— joining and rejoicing her for another hopeful and meaningful day whereas the chirping of birds outside the chamber started singing and serenading her in a melodic sound. What a wonderful day. Indeed.
Who wouldn't embrace it anyway, when you had a good reason to have a peaceful night and sleep. Daisy snuggled even more to her soft pillow— inhaling its pleasing smell of lavender, and vanilla before arching her back to stretched the unexercised body and reduced the sleepiness that is trying to come back, seducing her.
After counting from one to ten, Daisy decided to start up her day with a steaming cup of tea and she also plan to make a tea bag of Jasmine for her friend, Megan. Maybe the annoyance that her coworker might be feeling yesterday and right now lessen if she give her something that is meant for relaxation.
Showering, brushing her teeth and changing to her outfit which were pastel colored blouse with ruffles on the collar and seams paired with high waisted white jeans and a doll shoes has never been fun for Daisy— before, she'd mostly like to wake up because she have to, not because she want to. But, now there are so many things to look forward to, and of course she still couldn't forget about her problem— still there's another time for that and Daisy want to enjoy her fulfilling life while it lasts.
A ringtone for messaging app caught her attention while she's sitting in front of her dressing table and fixing her face with light make up. Checking it, Bryson's name popped up in the screen.
－Ｂｒｙｓｏｎ★
Hi baby good morning. See ya later kay?
－
She felt a little bit disappointed after reading it. That's all? No I miss you like he always included in his text or I hope you have a nice day to motivate her? Daisy stopped herself from acting like a spoiled child, its not like her boyfriend is obligated to tell her those cheesy words every time it texted her and besides they're still going to meet at lunch.
After making the tea bag for Megan, she securely placed the simple creation in a lightbulb-shaped small mason jar and put a simple and short note inside. To top her effort, Daisy wrapped it up in a small paper bag then set it aside on the counter as she start making her breakfast. Daisy still has at least 45 minutes before the opening of the shop and it'll only take her 15minutes to get there by foot.
A doorbell on her front stopped her from stirring the scrambled egg. It hitched her intake of air because, of the sudden sound that bounced off throughout her place and no one really visit her at an early hour. She turned off the stove and checked the sudden visitor through the peephole of the door, seeing the person on the other side, Daisy excitedly unlocked the doorknob.
'Hi baby. You looked so fucking beautiful. Miss me?' Bryson toothy smile greeted her, his wearing a plain white shirt partnered with black leathered jacket and black denim jeans paired with black combat boots that completed the 'bad boy' look. He's oozing a charisma that she bet girls in all ages are gonna flock to him like a bees in a hive.
She only gaped at how deadly but, handsome he is— a mouth-watering sight and a breathe of fresh air. Bryson's also smelt like mint and aftershave.
'Can I come in?' Daisy snapped at her dazed-state and timidly ushered her boyfriend inside. She walked back to her kitchen, Bryson's footsteps following her behind.
'Are you cooking? It's smell so good.'
She just only nodded her head for answer and went back to her cooking. Daisy cooked another batch of scrambled eggs, bacons and bread toast. If only she knew that Bryson would come over, she should prepare something more extravagant.
'I miss you shorty.' Daisy stopped from frying the bacon when she saw a thick, bulgy and veiny arms sneaking up on her waist and a hoarse voice with minty breathe of Bryson fanned the right side of her face— closed to her earlobes that made her want to scurried back to her mattress and hide the blooming red roses on her cheeks and a dithered sensation that nestled in her body. Intoxicating and very critical to her heart.
'From now on, I'll be joining you for breakfast 'kay? Bryson whispered before swiftly kissing her earlobe. Daisy felt like she was about to blow up from the pool of heat that billowing her like a cabin fever— spreading in her system especially in her lower part region. It makes her bit down her lower lip and take a deep calming breathe.
Thankfully, Bryson leave her alone to finish her task after seeing her nodding her head hastily. Why is she acting like this so early in the morning? And why is Bryson more touchy? Is this how relationship works all the time? Daisy don't know if she could still handle such foreign feelings— its so supervenient and it'll really make her dissipate like vapor anytime soon.
Whilst Daisy was placing the foods on the dining table, Bryson situated on the dining chair and reached out a single stem of red carnation to her.
'I plan to give you flowers every day too. And I. . .' The guy paused and scratched his eyebrows. She just stared at him—trying to find some flaws to point out in case her feelings became too much and she need a reason to diminish it. But, nothing came out in her mind. Just the intense looked of Bryson while his trying to convey the next words and looking at her profoundly.
'It means. Admiration and. . . My heart ache for you. . . I don't know if its true but uhm. . . hope you like it.' She wholehearted accepts the little present and inhaled the fresh and honey fragrance.
Daisy never knew what is a mind-boggling feeling— she only read what it feels like in her fantasy and romance books, only saw it being potrayed in the movie and only heard how warbled it is in a formed of music. Not until, this very moment. Is this how to feel contented? What is this feelings anyway? Is it too much? Is it too early?
'Thank you. I really love it.'
They both exchanged a ducet smile and swam in each other's pool of entrancement not until the shrilling sound of boiling water in a kettle broke the moment.
Both of them enjoyed their breakfast together for the first time and in a comfortable silence.
If she's to going wake up everyday having this kind of morning groove, then she'll gladly welcome the future with open arms.

'I'll see you at lunch kay? Just text me if you need something and anything.'
Daisy unbuckled the passenger's seatbelt after Bryson parked the car in front of the shop. From the windshield, she can saw Megan started setting up the display outside. She want to hurry up and help her friend but, also doesn't want to leave Bryson's side. Daisy thought if she's being too clingy and her boyfriend might get annoyed or irritated if she act like a love- deprived person especially since they only started their relationship yesterday. So she control herself like how her boyfriend did all the time.
'You should go now babe. Megan might chop my head off if I stall you any longer.' Bryson chuckled in amusement whilst looking in front. Megan was now standing, both hand on either hips and looking at them with narrowed eyes, though the vehicle was tinted, Daisy felt like she's being shoot with a laser beam.
She's about to steps out after signing Bryson a timid 'Bye and Thank you' when he snatched her left arm, pulling her in gently then cupped her face with his both big and callous hands. The guy planted a kissed on her forehead then moved his lips at the right side of her bottom lip—specifically to her beauty mark. But still, so close to the actual part of her body that itching and bewailing for something warm, soft and plump— preferably like Bryson's lips.
Daisy blushed profusely just by having that kind of thought in her head.
'Bye my adorable shorty.'
She abruptly opened the door and jumped outside, Bryson's soft chuckled reverberated in her reddish ears when she didn't closed the door and just hurriedly padded inside the shop. Hiding her blushing cheeks by covering it using her long and wavy locks of strawberry blonde.
'I see your true colors shining through~.' Megan greeted her in a singsong voice, giving her a wolfish grin.
'Hmm. . . I should have make a bet with Bryson if you are going to come back her looking like being smothered into oblivion or looked like someone carrying the world on her shoulder.'
Daisy didn't stop from walking and just went directly to the storage room.
'So? I'm all ears. . . I mean, I'm all me? Never mind. Tell me what happened yesterday.'
Megan is leaning on the doorjamb, waiting for her to finish tying up in a knot the apron on her torso. Daisy get the paper bag inside her bag first before closing her locker.
'What's this? Is this the invitation to your wedding? Bae. You didn't even consult me for any opinion.' Her friend dramatically said while opening the present as she just walked passed her to go to the front. Getting the rag in the hutch and started wiping the marble counter.
'Oh my gosh. Seriously Bae? What is this supposed to mean? Are you leaving me now? Why did you write up, I'm sorry for the inconvenienced and my incompetency yesterday and I understand if you are upset of me. Thank you for being kind to me all the time. I hope you like my peace offering. Oh Bae. I'm not upset or mad at you okay? I'm honestly thankful that Bryson took you to who knows where he brought you and bring you back, looking like this.' Megan momentarily hugged her then gently pushed her body away, hands on both of her shoulders and eyeing her from head to toe.
'Looking more happy and glowing like I had never seen you before. It's okay. I got covered everything up yesterday so you don't have to worry about it yeah? Just don't hesitate to share whatever that is bothering you, if you have a problem, I'm always here. Remember? Gosh. You're making me cry. It's too early and my make up will ruin.'
Daisy wiped the tears that started making their presence known on her cheeks while Megan fanned her face with her hands, looking up as to keep the unshed tears in her eyes to fall. Why is she being so emotional all of a sudden? Is just, knowing that your only close friend wasn't mad at you is like a weight is being lifted from your chest. Even though, Daisy is happy being with Bryson, its still different when it comes to her first friend. She won't exchange their friendship for the world and she will cherish the amity for the rest of her life.
'Gosh. We're so freaking overdramatic. We aren't filming a soap opera and this is not a drama. Why are you such a sweet person. If only I was born a guy, I would totally steal you from Bryson. Like right here right now. He's not that good actually, can I just adopt you or something and then we can live somewhere like in Bermuda triangle or Sahara desert. We don't need boys or whoever it is with walking sword. What do you say?' Daisy chuckled because of her friend's rambling and hilariousness but nonetheless, she was smiling like the one her mother's favorite but, this time its genuine and not fake.
'Geez. Just tell me the whole story about what happened yesterday 'kay? And ohh. . . Wow. That's a freaking beautiful necklace. Did your man gave that to you? Wow it also look pricey. He's loaded for sure.'
Daisy discreetly touched her lei with a newfound memories surfacing in her mind. She nodded her head and started telling her all about that transpired yesterday. Starting from the time Bryson brought her to their secret place then up to when he invited her for dinner at his home. Megan half-listened and half-squealed the whole time so, she need to paused every 5 minutes and wait for Megan to calmed down. After her signing-telling or whatever you called it, her friend's lips curved into a furtive smile like he already knew and expected something like that would happen but, wanted her to narrate through her own way.
By the time they both composed their-self, Megan hugged her again before they decided to separate from each other because of the arrival of their first customer.

'I can't still believe that as－. . . son of her mother has a romantic bones in his body. Like isn't he looked like someone that will beat you up just by looking at his eyes or if you bump him in the street while he's munching a donut?' Daisy stared at Megan whilst it continuously muttered something incoherently.
'Oh speaking of the devil and he shall come. I'm still regretting not making a bet.'
She looked up in front when the door bell's jingled followed by the dramatic entrance of her boyfriend. Yes, very showy. Bryson whisked his free hand through his brown hair that slightly shaved on both sides. Tousling it like he just woke up but, still managed to looked good, and handsome.
'Hi Megan. Hi Baby.' Bryson greeted—kissing the top of her head while smiling that reached his ocean blue eyes.
'At this moment, I really wish I have someone to pamper me. Do you have a friend Bryson? A male specimen with dark skin tone.'
Both of them looked at Megan while she just shrugged her shoulder and eyed the paper bag in Bryson's hand.
'What? I like someone with two D. Dark skin tone and big D.'
'Dude. Keep your fantasies to yourself.' Bryson butted in. Setting up the food he brought on the counter and in front of her. Daisy just looked at them quizzically.
'It will not be a fantasy lover boy, just wait and see. I'll find myself a man.'
'Well, actually I have one friend. Exactly like your prefences. Do you have any standard or quality shit something?'
'Nah. Is he big?'
'What? How the hell I would know that.'
'Dude I'm talking about the body. Like is he macho. I know already the other part is big.'
'I d－. . . Bryson bit his tongue when she tagged the seam of his leather jacket. Megan and her boyfriend stopped talking and both averted their attention to her.
'What is big D?' Daisy signed curiously and innocently.
'F—. . . It's nothing baby. Megan was just being senseless. How about you eat your lunch now yeah?' Bryson open the styrofoam with mac n cheese and of course her favorite nuggets then gave her the plastic spoon and fork.
'How dare you dude. I'm not senseless. But, yeah. Bae don't think about it 'kay? You're still a baby and baby shouldn't be expose in the dark side of the world. . . yet'
Daisy pouted because of that term. She's not a baby, she's turning 18 next week. Meaning, just a matter of days before she could finally announce and call herself an adult.
'By the way, are you closing at six again?' Bryson asked.
The three of them eat their share of foods. Megan was ecstatic that Bryson finally started giving her foods, she also reminded her not to let the guy go as they wouldn't have someone to buy their foods everyday.
'Depends. If we're short of customer, we can close up before six.'
'Got it. I'll be here before six. I'm taking shorty somewhere.'
Daisy slurped her coconut juice to chugged down the piece of nuggets that stucked in her throat before signing her reply.
'Where are you taking me?'
Megan stopped chewing and drink her juice too before speaking. 'Yeah. Where are you taking her huh? Don't tell me you're going to a fancy and luxurious Motel.'
'What? Why would I take her there? And no. I'm not. Stop thinking maliciously. Baby I want to have dinner with you at my favorite diner. The one I had mention to you before.'
She just only nodded her head in reply and continued eating her foods.
'You're so defensive. I'm just wondering okay? To be honest, I'm proud of you and it's good to know that you're doing a great job for your daddy's role.' Megan chimed in, still eating her foods like she have been deprived of it for a month. Her friend must be really love eating.
'I'm just doing what I can do to make my baby's happy.' Bryson said rather proudly with his signature toothy smile.
'Wow. So you're really into that ddlg kink? You don't even comment or argue my daddy's role statement.' Megan grinned like a cheshire cat while Bryson just furrowed his thick eyebrows. Trying to looked serious but, Daisy noticed the movement of his Adam's apple and the sideway glances his giving at her direction.
Why were they keep of talking about daddy? Does Bryson wants to be her daddy? Isn't that weird? He is her boyfriend not her father. Daisy put down her utensils and looked at Megan and Bryson with questioning eyes. She wanted to know what they were talking about and not let her in the dark. Yeah probably, she would't be able to understand it but, its still appropriate if they included her on their conversation since she's part of the topic.
'Keep your words to yourself Megan. Baby don't overthink about it and don't look at me like that.'
Megan started laughing hysterically while watching the scene unfold in front of her. Daisy keep on staring at Bryson, eager to know every meaning behind those strange words.
'Baby finish your lunch now okay? It's not really something important.' Bryson softened his voice and started feeding her with the remaining foods. Of course, she obliged since its rude to refuse the blessing.
'Gosh. I can't wait when Bae learn all about kinky shit stuff.'
Bryson fed her nonstop until nothing were left in the styrofoam.
If they won't tell her anything that will kill her curiosity then she only have to find it out by herself.
