Our Arrival
Chapter 1
I had never really been one for flying. As a matter of fact I hated it. If there was a boat I could take I would much rather take it, but that didn't get you there as fast. So here I was, stuck on a plane, getting close to hyperventilating because of all the turbulence. Eli grabbed my hand tightly and said a few calming and soothing words. They didn't help me that much. The plane shook so violently and each time it did my stomach would lurch. Eli was nice enough to stick me in the middle seat, so that way I didn't have to look out the window. That would have made this whole thing a million time worse.
The plane lurched again and without thinking I grabbed a hold of the young Asian guy's hand that was sitting beside me. He looked down at my hand then looked back up at me and smiled. I looked over at him and gave him a small smile to say I'm sorry, but I still had a terrified look on my face. I didn't remove my hand because two seconds later the plane shook again. He laughed a small laugh and spoke.
"Don't worry; it's just a little turbulence." I tensed up, feeling about ready to puke and looked at him.
"A little turbulence? I don't call this a little turbulence." He just laughed again and squeezed my hand lightly.
"First time flying?" He asked politely. He didn't have an accent like I thought he would. He sounded very American.
"No, I've flown before; I just hate it." I breathed in deeply and let it out trying to calm my nerves.
"Ah, I see. So where you headed too?"
"London. I'm visiting my boyfriend for a while, and my best friend," I nodded my head towards Eli, "She's getting ready to move in with her fiancé."
He nodded his head taking in what I was saying. "Oh, cool. I'm going to visit my father. He just moved to London from China."
"Is that where you're from too." I could feel my nerves beginning to settle. I don't know if this guy was doing it on purpose or not, but he was succeeding in calming me down.
"Well technically yes. I was born there, but when I was six my mother moved to America and I went with her. I've grown up there most of my life, and I visit my dad occasionally."
"Oh." I replied processing what he just said. "My names Tonya by the way."
"Ryan." He replied shaking my hand slightly, even though I still had a tight grip on it.
"So what's your boyfriend's name?" He asked.
"Danny. Danny Jones." I didn't really seem to notice the turbulence much anymore. Either it had begun to calm or Ryan was doing a really good job at taking my mind off of it.
"Wait a minute; do you mean Danny Jones as in Danny Jones from McFly?" His eyes lit up.
I smiled and nodded. "Yep, that's him."
"Oh wow, my best friend Ariel loves that group. She's going to flip when I tell her I met Danny's girlfriend. Well flip or be devastated. Danny's her favorite." He winked at me and I laughed.
"Well tell your friend I'm sorry if she's upset." He nodded his head.
"I'll do that." Just then the plane began to descend and I breathed out a huge breath of relief. "Well it looks as if we have arrived at our destination."
"Yes thank God." I said happily. The plane landed and we all stood up to exit the plane. Ryan got mine and Eli's carry-on bags down from the overhead compartment for us and we three took off for the terminal. Once we got to the door I turned and looked at Ryan.
"Thanks for calming me down and uh, holding my hand for me."
He chuckled softly. "No problem. I'm not that big of a fan of flying but I've gotten used to it over the past thirteen years."
"Well thanks for everything though." I stepped up to him and gave him a light hug. "Maybe I'll see you around sometime."
He smiled. "Maybe."
"Well bye." I said and waved. He waved back and said bye too. I turned to join Eli and we walked on in to the airport. I looked around to see if I could see Danny or any of the guys anywhere, but frowned when I didn't see anything.
"Do you see them anywhere?" Eli leaned over and asked me.
"No. I don't even see cameras or anything." We both frowned.
"You don't think they forgot us do you?" Eli asked sounding a little disappointed.
"I hope not." I replied getting worried.
"You don't actually think we'd forget two ladies as beautiful as you do you?"
I smiled widely as I recognized that Bolton accent. Eli and I both turned sharply to see Danny and Harry both standing there, baseball caps pulled low over their eyes. We each let out a squeal as we threw ourselves at our men. I hugged Danny so tightly that he let out a little groan. It had been a whole month and the only time I ever had any contact with him was when I talked to him on the phone. I had missed him so much.
I pulled away from the hug and looked up into Danny's shaded eyes. His ball cap was pulled so low that it was hard for me to see his eyes. We stared a moment at each other, as Eli and Harry practically made out beside us. Then at the same time we leaned into each other and our lips met in a long passionate kiss. Then a few minutes later I heard someone clear their throat behind Danny and pulled away to look who was interrupting us. I saw Dougie and Tom standing awkwardly behind him, giving us huge grins.
"Dougie!" I squealed and launched myself at him. I threw my arms around his neck as his arms came around my waist to give me a tight hug. "Oh how I've missed you." He chuckled and placed a light kiss on my cheek as I pulled away.
"And I've missed you too. Life's been quite boring without you in it." He replied. He still had his arms wrapped around my waist and I just smiled at him.
"Yeah, I know what you mean." We smiled at each other a few minutes then I heard someone clear their throat to my right. I turned to see Tom with his arms stretched out to his side.
"What about me? No greetings for me? I see how it is." I pulled out of Dougie's embrace and went to hug Tom, placing a kiss on his cheek.
"You know I missed you too Tom." I said and he laughed lightly.
"Now that's more like it. I've missed you too. And I have to agree with Dougie, life's been quite boring without you two around."
"Well you have nothing to worry about now. We're here for our visit, so things should really be shaken up." I wrapped my arm around Danny's waist and gave them all a goofy grin. That caused them all to crack up. Once we calmed down a bit Tom looked around a little worried.
"Maybe we should go before we get spotted. We've been lucky so far, but if we keep laughing loudly we're bound to draw attention to ourselves." The rest of the guys nodded in agreement and after gathering up mine and Eli's bags we headed out of the airport.
McFly
Eli and I were staying with Danny and Harry for about a week, because the guys didn't have to go out on the road just yet. We went back to their houses, Eli to Harry's and me to Danny's. The guys had bought houses next door to each other because they all wanted to move out, but they didn't want to be that far away from one another.
It was getting kind of late when Tom pulled the van up in front of his house and we all piled out of it. Once outside the guys got our bags out of the back and handed them to us. Danny grabbed my bag in one hand, and took my hand in his other.
"I'll see you guys tomorrow morning. Don't forget that we have some morning talk show to go on." Tom said locking the van.
"Right." The guys said.
"Be sure to get isome/i sleep tonight." He said giving Danny and Harry eyes. They just laughed and nodded their heads. Tom turned to look at his house.
"Looks like Gia's home from work. I best be getting inside."
"Oh, tell her we said hi ok." I said as he leaned in to give me a hug, and then gave one to Eli.
"I will. I'll see you all tomorrow." He said before walking through the gate and up to his house. Dougie turned to us after Tom left.
"Well I better be going too." He looked at his watch. "Asha should be free right now and I want to call her before I go to bed." He came over and gave me a big hug and a kiss on the cheek. "I'm so glad you're here now. We get to have lots of fun now." He winked before hugging Eli and taking off down the sidewalk towards his house.
"We're just going to head back to our house now." Harry said looking over at Eli.
"Oh, I like the sound of that; our house." She stared off dreamily. "Because technically it is our house now, since I'm moving in and all." They said goodbye and turned to follow Dougie down the sidewalk towards 'their' house. It was just me and Danny left. He looked down at me and smiled and I looked back up at him stifling a yawn.
"Long trip?" He asked as we turned and started walking in the opposite direction towards his house.
"Very. I feel like I've been up for twenty four hours." I leaned my head against his shoulder as we walked.
"Well once we get back to the house you can go take a nice long shower and get ready for bed. Are you hungry?"
"Yeah, kind of."
"Good, while you're in the shower I'll fix us something to eat."
"I thought you didn't like to get stuck cooking?" I said looking up at him.
"I'm not getting stuck cooking. I'm offering to fix you something to eat." We stepped up to the door and Danny set my bags down to take out his keys.
"Well in that case, bring on the food." He chuckled and unlocked the door for us. Then he stepped inside and turned on the light and I stepped in after him. The last time we visited the guys they all lived in the same house, so this was the first time I got to see Danny's house. It was beautiful. For a guys house it was surprisingly clean and nicely decorated. No doubt he hired a decorator.
Danny looked at me with amusement as my eyes surveyed the house. My mouth was slightly open as I took it in. In the entrance of the house the floor was marble. There was a marble staircase that led up to the second floor, and a hallway that ran beside it back to the kitchen. On the right side was the dining room and on the left was his living room. I turned to Danny stunned.
"Wow your house is beautiful." He blushed.
"Thank you. I picked this one out right away, I just love the feel it gives off."
"Yeah, it is quite homey." He smiled and nodded his head.
"Right, well let's get your stuff upstairs and get you settled in so you can take a nice shower." I nodded and followed him upstairs to his bedroom. He sat my bag on his bed and I looked around at his room. A large king size bed was nicely made up in the middle of the room. On each side of the bed were little night stands. He had a large walk in closet and an adjoining bathroom.
Danny turned to me after setting my bags on his bed and wrapped his arms around me. "I don't know if I've said this or not, but I'm so glad you're here. I've missed you like crazy."
"Aw, I've missed you too." I replied placing my lips on his and giving him a long kiss. He ran his hands up and down my back as I entwined my fingers in his hair. He pulled me closer to him, deepening the kiss and I let out a soft moan enjoying his kiss. After a while we pulled away, and he gave me one last peck before speaking.
"You go take your shower and I'll just go downstairs and get some dinner ready." I nodded and he left. I got some clothes out to change into and made my way into the bathroom.
Half an hour later I stepped out of the bathroom dressed in a pair of shorts and t-shirt. My hair was still wet from my shower and I ran a brush through it. I smelled something that smelled really good, and I threw my brush on my bag and followed the smell downstairs. When I walked into the kitchen I saw Danny standing by the stove stirring something in a pan. I walked up to him quietly and wrapped my arms around him from behind. He jumped lightly and looked back at me.
"Something smells really good." I said coming around beside him to see what he was cooking.
"That would be the pasta."
"Oh, chicken alfredo. You sure know me well."
"Well it's about the only thing you ever order whenever we go out to eat. I figured you'd like it."
"You figured right. It smells delicious." He dipped some of it onto the wooden spoon.
"Here, try it and tell me what you think." He blew on the spoon to cool it down a bit then placed it in front of my mouth. I tasted it and immediately my eyes widened.
"That is the best tasting alfredo sauce I've ever tasted." I said eagerly. "You should try some." He nodded his head agreeing with me, then bent down and kissed me, moving his tongue into my mouth. After a few seconds he pulled away.
"You're right, that is good." I laughed and shoved him in the shoulder then went to sit at the table. "This will be ready in just a couple minutes." I nodded and sat down watching him cook. Most girls could only dream about having a guy as great as Danny. He was so sensitive, very romantic, and a really great cook. How I ever ended up with him I'll never know, but I'm so glad that I did.
Danny turned off the stove and dished the pasta out onto the plates and sat them on the table. I grabbed my fork and dug in. Danny watched me with an amused grin as I ate my pasta. I looked up at him and blushed a bit, realizing that I was eating a little fast.
"Sorry, but this stuff is amazing." He laughed then dug into his own food.
After we were full I leaned back in my chair, my stomach slightly sore from eating too much. "You know, I think I might just keep you around." I said stretching.
"Oh really?" Danny asked raising an eyebrow as he cleared our plates.
"Yeah, I mean if you're going to cook like that, then I'm definitely keeping you around." Danny came over to me placing one hand on the table and one on the back of my chair.
"Well at least I know how to keep you around now." I laughed and he leaned down to give me a quick peck on the mouth, then he looked at the clock. "I know it's not good for you to go to sleep after just eating, but we better be heading to bed. We have an early morning tomorrow." I nodded as a yawn escaped my mouth.
"Yeah, I think that's a good idea. I'm beat anyways." Danny stuck his hands out to me and I took them, letting him pull me up. Then he led me out of the kitchen and upstairs to the bedroom.
"I'm just going to take a quick shower. You can go ahead and go to bed if you want." He stepped into his closet to get some clothes as I turned down the bed. He came over to me and kissed me lightly on the lips before he left the room. "Goodnight Tonya."
"Goodnight Danny." I said as he shut the door and I lay in his bed looking up at the ceiling. I couldn't believe I was finally in London with Danny. I had another month with him on tour, and then he was going back with me to my family's house for Thanksgiving (a deal we worked out since I was spending Christmas with him.) Really if I thought about it, I would only have about a week apart from him between the time I go home and he arrives for Thanksgiving. I had to get back a week before the tour ends because of work. Then from Thanksgiving on I would be with him, and I was moving over here after the first of the year.
I slowly felt myself begin to fall asleep as I got lost in my thoughts. I barely remember Danny slipping into the bed and wrapping his arms around me saying 'I love you Tonya' and me replying 'I love you too'.
