Am I naive or just not easily swayed? Part 3

I couldn't stop thinking of him when I got home. I tried my best not to exude so much delight as to make my mum suspicious. Later that night, I texted him."Hi, it's Chichi." "Chichi!!!!! You don't know how long I've been waiting for your text. Chichi have you given it a thought?" He asked."Well, I would need to do some thinking...I was so busy today that I didn't even have the time to process and think over what you said...I am sorry but maybe you can give me a little time to think about it. Is that okay?" I asked."Its fine". He sounded weak immediately. I can sense his mood through the text. Almost immediately, a strange number called me. I am not always in a rush to pick strange numbers but then seeing that we are chatting and then it happens the call is coming in now might probably mean it's Daniel.I picked.It was Daniel. He was sounding calm unlike his usual person."Chichi, it's Daniel. How long do you need to think over my request?" I was trying hard to sound serious and not be caught off guard. I decided to go with the flow."Three days will do." I said."Alright, it's fine. I will wait till then okay? Just take good care of yourself.""Yeah, you too""Alright then good night" He was sounding skeptical or maybe wanted to prolong the talk because he wasn't going to get off the phone. "Daniel""Yes, Chichi" He answered expectantly."I was joking"."Yeeeee! Ehn ehn! I knew it. This girl! I knew you were messing with me. I told you you are very unserious that's why I called to actually hear you say it but chichi you got me feeling scared a bit." He shouted on the phone laughing out so loud that I had to reduce the volume of my phone. I could sense the happiness in his voice. I blushed. He went on and on screaming on the phone. He even danced to tell me he knew me too well. I laughed. He asked if we could prolong the talk but I was already exhausted so I had to hang up.As I lay on my bed, I started weighing the situation. Daniel is actually 30 and I am just 19 turning 20 soon. Isn't this some sort of abuse? Would my mum be okay with this? Would I be able to handle the relationship properly seeing I've had no experience and I've been caged all my life? Would I actually be able to love him enough? Why is such a mature guy so interested in me and not his mates? Wait! What if it's not love but infatuation? What am I going to do?I want to be in a relationship with Daniel at the same time I don't want to. The thought of meeting him the next day made me quiver. I mean I was excited but still nervous on how it would go. But what's all these feeling? Haven't we been vibing? A message popped up on my phone screen. I opened it and it was from Daniel. "Good night my baby. I love you and I can't wait to see you tomorrow, Chi". It felt weird I don't know why but it did feel weird. Well I wasn't a romantic kind of person and like Daniel said, I am very unserious specially when it comes to romance or sweet words. It makes me giggle. "I love you too" I replied.I kept my phone and went back to my thinking but then I tried to see the positive sides of things and wave these negative thoughts off. I mean he chooses me and doesn't hide that fact even in the presence of others. He speaks up for me. He treats me so well that I don't second guess my place in his life as a friend. He made me feel loved and above all, he's good looking and handsome! That's a green flag mehn! I was just thinking about the good sides till I slept off.
