Joey's P.O.V. (Late night thoughts)

I wake up in the middle of the night and my thoughts start to come rolling in. I look over at Daniel and see how cute he looks when he is sleeping. I wander how he feels about me. Has he ever, ya know, loved anyone. So, what is love? Is it the feeling that I get when I am around daniel? Or is that feeling just sexual tension because believe me, it very well could be either. We haven't really talked about past relationships. Honestly, he probably wouldn't want to date me if he knew how inexperienced I am. Hell, he was my first kiss. I just don't understand the emotion. Is it like a gradual thing or do you just all of a sudden one day know? I mean, I know that I am fully capable of loving someone. I am just scared to open my doors to someone and then never being able to close them again. I am scared of someone taking those doors and ripping them off the hinges to use them for their own advantage instead of appreciating them. I see Daniel open his eyes. Maybe I should ask Daniel what love is.

"Hey baby. Are you okay? Can you not sleep," he asks in his damn sexy morning voice as he pulls me closer.
"Yeah I am just thinking. I have been doing alot of thinking lately," I said turning and facing him while still in his grip.
"Thinking? About what baby?" He said then he lightly kissed my forehead.
"Daniel, what is love? Like, how does it work," I said looking him straight in the eyes. I was surprised that he didn't give me a look of judgement.
"Well Joey, I don't really know alot about love. I haven't really ever been in love. I imagine it is like being able to open yourself up to someone in the most vulnerable place and them not crush you or judge you. I imagine it is where everything you see reminds you of that special person. I imagine is is to a way more intense extent than how you could love your mother. It is an emotion that cannot be explained because it is so complex. Why do you ask?" He said looking me with his flirty grin.
"I don't know. I just have never been in love and just wanted to know whay signs to look for," I said nuzzling my face into his neck to hide my embarrassment.
"Don't be embarrassed. You never have to be embarrassed around me, Joey. I really hope you know that," he said placing his hand that is not around my waist to grip the back of my head. I let go of the breath that I didn't know I was holding and just let sleep take over me. I am not embarrassed around Daniel. And I find that to be amazing.

There's just one thing that is making me scared and embarrassed. Every way he described someone loving someone else is the way I feel about him...
