(The night Before Danice Wedding)

Alice sat in her room at Mara. Something Liv asked her stuck with her. Liv had asked why she loved Danny, it wasn't said with malice, she was just curious. Alice had rattled off the traditional reasons he was kind smart funny...Liv had nodded but the question remained with her. She should have been able to come up with a unique reason. Why did she love Daniel Trevanion? Why? What was it about him that made her fall so fast, so completely for him? I mean he wasn't remotely her type.

He seemed too serious….then again she had seen his playful side often.

He was quiet and shy, that time with the media had been a barrels of laughs, he kept fluffing whatever he was supposed to say. He was so cute looking to her for help though.

He had a save the day complex which could get them in trouble, like the times instead of money he took payment in kind…..how many had she phoned the drug company getting them off the hook? And lets not forget the caravan of death... Truth be told she was kind of fond of that now…..she smiled as she remembered her and Danny alone in there one night.

He got obsessed about things, when he had an idea he wouldn't let it go and he always thought he was right, the Mara incident that drove them apart a perfect example. But she knew he loved her, he wore it on his sleeve.

So why then? Why did she love him? She thought back to the night after the kiss at the copy…

(…)

Oh my god I can't believe I'm kissing Alice…..Alice is kissing me! How is this possible? I mustn't be awake, this is a dream it has to be…..

The sky suddenly turn dark, lightning split it, thunder crackles then rumbles…Alice disappears

Danny opened his eyes and woke up in his room - alone. He exhaled. Night is where the doubts crept in. Did it happen? Was it a dream? He rubbed his face.C'mon Danny really? Alice love you? Yeah you're friends. Good close friends but anything more than that has to be a dream right? Or he was living in cloud cuckoo land! He closed his eyes trying to chase away the melancholy thoughts.

He heard a soft knock on his door, then it opened. "Danny? Danny, you awake?" A soft voice lilted.

He stayed silent.

He heard a soft tread into his room. "I so hope this is Danny's room." he heard her mutter.

He turned the light on and she jumped back and shrieked, her shoulders slumped when she saw it was him.

"It is my room." he grinned.

"You could have answered!" she closed the door.

"And missed the look on your face thinking it was Dupe and Caroline's room?"

She made a face. "Ewww! Dupe in his pyjamas is a image I can live without!"

"He don't wear them!" Danny told her.

Her jaw dropped. "You mean…..totally…." she put her hand on her chest.

Danny giggled. "Boxers and vest."

"I was really worried there." Alice admitted.

"Why?"

"Wondering how the hell YOU knew he sleeps in the buff!"

"Well one cold and dark night….."

"You didn't!" she gasped playfully. "Du Plessis?"

"Course not! Don't you know me at all?"

"I now wonder." she nodded her head.

"Hey I picked you!"

"Oh I won Dupe what an honour!"

"It was a hard decision." his tone completely serious.

She walked towards him and sat on the bottom of his bed. "I had to see you." she admitted.

He nodded. "You read my mind." Although now she was here he was starting to forget what was on his mind…..

"I was worried….."

"That what happened between us wasn't real? That it was a dream?" he finished for her.

"Yeah." she breathed. "I went from loving you from afar for so long to actually having you and I guess my mind hasn't switched gears yet."

"Alice think of it from MY perspective. " he checked the clock and saw it was after twelve. "Yesterday I woke up in this very bed in love with the most gorgeous woman to ever set foot in Leopards Den and that includes the model a few years back!"

She smiled at him.

"Two seconds after I realise I'm in love I also realise she is so far out of my league its unreal…..she is so beautiful that she has a league of her own!"

"Awww Danny that is so sweet."

He shrugged embarrassed.

"Actually wait a minute mister!" she told him straightening her back. "You told me from the first time you set eyes on me." she narrowed her eyes playfully.

He cocked his head to the side. "Sweetheart do you remember our first meeting? You had a gun!"

"So did you!"

"Yeah but I bet you weren't frightened I was gonna shoot you!"

Alice collapsed into a fit of laughter.

"C'mon don't tell me you weren't tempted. Not even a little."

"I wasn't."

"You'd lie to the man you love?"

She breathed out a laugh. "Ok I considered it….for a second."

"Oh my god you actually considering shooting me?" he put a hand over his mouth. "And here I thought she loved me." he wiped away a pretend tear.

"It was only a second honey I'll never do it again." she said in a dramatised voice. "Unless I'm pushed."

They both looked at each other then burst out laughing.

"We're crazy you know." she told him.

"I know I am." he replied softly, his face was soon earnest. "But seriously Alice I felt something then. You pushed me and prodded me and turned me upside down. I couldn't think around you yet I had to coz I was leading the group. I knew I had to be on my toes coz you were right there behind me challenging me. You had me in the palm of your hand right then and I didn't even know it! It took getting hit on the head by a tree before I realised just how important you were."

"Don't joke about that huh? I died a million deaths leaving you out there alone."

"Sorry." he breathed.

Again they looked at each other without saying a word. "You know what I think?" he told her suddenly.

"That I should scoot closer to you so you can have your oh so evil way with me?" she wiggled her eyebrows.

"Well apart from that." he winked.

"What?"

He moved closer to her and lowered his voice. "I think that if we ever doubt about how we feel, about us being a couple again we need to think about this moment." He cupped her face and kissed her so softly coaxing her lips apart.

Alice felt a feeling flood her body.

He pulled back. "Now I know that if I ever think you aren't mine all I have to do it remember that soft kiss in this room and I'll know you love me." Then he took her in his arms and lay her down beside him. Both arms around her they clasped at her stomach. She put her hands over them.

"I'm gonna have to go back to my own room soon." she whispered.

"I know, but right now you're mine." he kissed the back of her neck and sighed.

She did too and closed her eyes…

(…)

Alice lay in her bed with a smile on her face as she remembered that night, how she wished it was tomorrow and she could look at her husband tell her she loved him...she had a better idea, she pulled out her phone and text him.

'I'm thinking about that kiss in your room after the copy, love you. Can't w8 til 2moro!'

She settled once again when her phone flashed in the darkness.

'I was to, honestly :) I love you too, forever. Now i'm gonna go to sleep and dream about all the kisses in the future we'll share. And tomorrow can't come soon enough. LY D x'

At that moment she knew why she loved him, she loved him coz he was Danny. He was quiet and shy and infuriating and self obsessed and so much more. The most important thing about him was that he was her shoulder, her prop, her guide and he loved her and always would. For the first time in her life someone truly loved her and only her. Without Danny she didn't want to think about what life held…that is what she loved about him, and those reasons are why she always would.
