Danny and Alice were sat in the taxi. Alice had her elbow rested on the window and she stared out of the window melancholy. She smiled as she thought of the drivers reaction to her. He had just came out and asked for her phone number. She had missed Danny's reaction. She could have swore she heard him growl and swear under his breath! She had laughed and told him she didn't give her number to random men.

"Look Alice about before. I meant to say you do look…" he searched for an appropriate word. "Really nice."

Nice? She thought. Just the look she was going for she thought sarcastically. "Thanks Danny." she crossed her arms.

God what had he done wrong this time? He was trying hard to complement her without sounding like a letch! He didn't want to make her uncomfortable if she felt like he went too far!

"Do you think Fatani will have many people there tonight?" he asked.

"I dunno but we're late." she murmured.

He nodded. "I'm not joining in anyway. I just came to make sure that you and Vanessa are safe. You know overly zealous guys!"

Oh yeah just what she needed. Another older brother. She wanted a lover not a brother! "Thanks danny!" she said again irritated.

Christ should he just keep his mouth shut? He thought frustrated. He was trying his best here and it just wasn't working. He exhaled and crossed his arms.

The taxi stopped at Fatani's and Alice climbed out.

"I'll pay him you just head inside." Danny then climbed out and handed over the money.

"Your done for mate. Seriously." the driver told him then drove away.

Danny stood frowning in confusion. He then walked inside.

(X)

Oh God! Danny groaned as he walked inside. The lights were low and the whole place was decorated like a seedy speed dating place. Fatani had also set up a spinning projector that was painting little hearts all over the walls. Barry White was playing on the CD player.

"The music of love." Danny said in a husky mocking voice.

Alice laughed. "Is it too late to escape?" she whispered.

Fatani spotted them. "Yep." he replied and smiled a fake smile as a man looked Alice up and down appreciatively. He sent him a warning glare.

Fatani approached. "What do you think?"

Danny looked around. "Very…hearty." he said.

"Yeah." Alice agreed. "Place looks good."

"I was going for a love slash seduction thing you know?"

Danny nodded.

"Although I may have to cancel coz most of the people haven't turned up. There are only one man and one woman here. I have had countless calls. There us a virus working it's way through Jo'burg and now they have gave it to us." he said sadly. After all his hard work too!

"You only have 3 actually. I'm not joining in." Danny said.

"Oh Danny mate please." he pleaded. Danny shook his head.

Vanessa walked into the bar wearing a flowing royal blue dress. She smiled and walked towards him. Her hips swaying. Alice looked away.

"Wow you look handsome!" she told him and smoothed the lapels of his suit.

Alice had to fight not to clench her fists.

Danny smiled in reply. "You look beautiful too Vanessa." he told her.

Alice's eyes narrowed. "C'mon and get me a drink yeah Fatani?" she fumed.

Vanessa is beautiful and she is only nice? She thought in disbelief. She downed the drink in one swallow.

"You ok Alice?" Fatani asked.

"Oh yeah everything is freaking brilliant." she said softly.

"If you want my opinion I think you look way better than her too." he told her.

She looked at Fatani and smiled. "Thanks." she said and laughed a little.

(X)

Vanessa's mobile rang. She picked it up. "oh no." she exhaled. Put her phone back in her bag. She had just been about to go in for the kill with Danny too!

"Grace is ill, that bug that is going around. I have to leave." she said sadly.

Danny nodded. "Tell her I hope she gets well soon."

She smiled and told him she would. "See you later."

A few people walked in as Vanessa walked out. Danny ordered a drink and sat in a dark quiet corner. The single night began.

(X)

Alice was going home after this guy! What was it with men that when they buy you a drink and then ask for your number and just expect to get it? That they can get anything they want? She knew enough to know that she was in no way shape or form in any shape to actually make any decisions tonight! So he was her last guy then she was going home.

"Do you want another drink" the guy asked.

She risked a glance at Danny who was looking somewhere else.

"Sure why not." she said dejectedly. God Danny didn't even care!

(X)

Danny watched the guy with Alice. He walked to the bar. All everyone seemed to be doing was buying her drink after drink! He was monopolising her. Not that he was surprised. She was easily the best dressed woman in the place. His heart still hadn't started to beat at it's normal rhythm. Why hadn't you told her that Danny?

Coz she would think you are a weirdo Danny! He answered mentally. Who says stuff like that these days!

He'd had to join in with the dating at first. A man had felt ill and left and so he evened out the numbers. By then Alice was just a little bit drunk and giggled at him when he passed. He sipped his drink. Thankfully another man had turned up and he had escaped back to his dark corner never to come back out again. It was weird seeing Alice get drunk coz he'd never known her to get drunk. The man took the drink over to Alice and set it in front of her. She leaned over and said something to him and he nodded. She then walked in the direction of the bathrooms. The guy went in his pocket and withdrew a packet of powder. Looked around then poured it in Alice's drink. Swished it around. Smiled and then settled. God this guy was gonna date rape her! Over his dead freaking body. Who did this guy think he was? He walked over to tell Fatani to call the police and then walked over to the guy ready to pound his face into the ground.

"I saw what you did. Get out of here and stay the hell away from Alice!" he said coldly.

Alice returned.

"Hey Danny." she murmured slurred. "Is this my drink?" she reached for it.

Danny faked reaching for it too and knocked it over. "Oops sorry." he told her. Then glared at her partner.

"Look Alice how about we go somewhere else?" the guy suggested.

Danny took a step forward. Fists clenched ready for battle.

Fatani approached. "Your taxi is waiting." Fatani said icily. Escorted him outside. Blue lights flashed as the door opened. Fatani returned.

"Danny they…."

"Give them my address and phone number." he told him. Alice was his for the rest of the night.

"Sorry but Fatani had got a call. He had to go." Danny said apologetically.

"Guess it's time for me to go home then. Everyone is paired off." she told him. "C'mon…"

He had a few drinks so he felt braver then he did sober. "I'm free if you want to dance."

She beamed at him and he felt his mind go blank at the sheer beauty of that smile. And it was aimed at him! He took her hand and led her to the dance floor. She put her arms around his neck and his arms were around her waist. They were soon swaying very softly from side to side. Their feet moving very little. The song was called Fall For You by Colbie Caillat

As I'm standing here
And you hold my hand
Pull me towards you
And we start to dance
All around usI see nobody
Here in silence
It's just you and me

I'm trying
Not to tell you
But I want to
I'm scared of what you'll say
So I'm hiding what I'm feeling
But I'm tired of
Holding this inside my head

I've been spending all my time
Just thinking about ya
I don't know what to
I think I'm fallin' for you
I've been waiting all my life
and now I found ya
I don't know what to
I think I'm fallin' for you
I'm fallin' for you

She sighed and closed her eyes her head was against his chest and his heart beat rhythmically. To the same beat as the song. To the same beat as her heart. Everything in the whole world beat in time with him. Coz her world just seemed to gravitate and swirl around him. Him and Charlotte. She had the biggest urge to blurt out everything she was feeling. The biggest urge to press her lips to his. But should she? She felt courage rise and she stopped him and went on tiptoes.

The song suddenly skipped and then ended. It broke the moment and Alice came to her sense. God what on earth had she nearly did? A faster song started to play.

"How about we talk for a little bit then grab a pizza?" he asked huskily.

She nodded. "Sounds good to me." she told him.

They sat at his darkened table. Alone.

"So Miss Collins what do you want to talk about?" he asked.

"I dunno." she replied.

"Not work." they chorused together and smiled.

They were soon talking about anything and everything they could think of. Dixie Chick if I fall your going down with me was playing. They were soon singing along to the chorus badly.

If I fall you're going down with me

You're going down with me baby if I fall

You can't take back every little chill you give me

You're going down with me baby heart and all

"I didn't know you liked Dixie Chicks." she told him.

He smiled. "There's a lot you don't know about me." he murmured and heat flared in his eyes.

"Ok um so football." she suggested.

"O don't even go there." he said.

Very soon they were having a heated debate why Scotland was better than England. He of course begged to differ. After a little bit Fatani came over.

"I'm just saying Scotland are rubbish." he said grinning.

"Guys." Fatani said and motioned around. The place was empty.

"O." Alice laughed. She was pretty much polatic! So was Danny. The one drink they had agreed to had turned into many more!

"Sorry Fatani." Danny said.

"No worries. At least someone hit it off tonight." he told them smiling.

Danny and Alice looked at each other in confusion. Then disregarded his statement.

"We'd better be getting home." he said.

"No way. I want my pizza. You promised!" she declared.

He hadn't promised but they were having such a good night he wasn't ready for it to end.

"We'll get a taxi to Jo'burg huh?"

She nodded.

He rang a taxi and they sat in the back giggling like kids for no reason. They were driving around Jo'burg looking for a place that was open. They found one and paid the driver, then had a discussion on what the best pizza was. They finally settled on a Bolognese with all meat as extra toppings. They carried on again like kids in the pizza shop. They finally got their pizza called another taxi to take them home.

(X)

After almost an hour after Fatani's had closed they finally climbed from the taxi at Leopards Den.

"How bout we eat our pizza in the moonlight huh?" he suggested.

He nodded. "I'll grab us something to drink. Coffee or juice?"

She made a face. "Suppose it be juice." she grumbled.

He crept into the house. Rifled around in a cupboard and found what he was looking for. Walked out carrying two bottles. "Weak alcopops. Practically juice." he said with a devilish grin."

She smiled again that stunning grin at him.

"Blue or cloudy?"

"What's the cloudy?" she asked.

"Ah this is a lucky dip Alice." he grinned boyishly.

"I'll be brave and have the cloudy one."

He handed her the drink and she grabbed a slice of pizza. Took a huge bite. She wished they could do this every night. Took a drink. "Awww." she groaned her face twisted. "Bitter lemon!"

He grinned and took a bite of his pizza.

"Mmmm I love pizza." she said after she chewed and swallowed.

"Mmm." he nodded in agreement. Chewing hungrily.

They ate in silence for a while.

"Tonight was really good." she said stuffed from her pizza.

"I had a great time too." he told her with a smile.

"You sound surprised." she said with a cocky grin.

"Shame Vanessa had to go." he murmured.

He saw the distant look appear in her eyes again. Saw her shoulders slump and then she stood up. Went to walk passed him.

"No Alice don't go not yet…" he grabbed her hand and stood up in front of her. She looked up at him. Her pulse quickened instantaneously.

"I didn't tell you how good you look in that dress." he said in a husky voice. Anything else he was going to say was wiped from his mind when he saw her looking at him with a strange look in her gorgeous eyes.

"You said great." she murmured. He said Vanessa was beautiful she tried to pull her hand away but he tugged her closer.

"What I meant to say was gorgeous. Stunning." he inhaled. "Breath taking." he said almost breathless.

Her own breath caught at his words. Her jaw dropped. They were both caught up in the moment.

"Actually all night all I have wanted to do is this!"

He lowered his head and kissed her. Heat and desire flooded through him. Any second now he expected her to pull away and slap him - hard. For over stepping his bounds. What he hadn't expected was for her to twine her arms around his neck and melt against him. To kiss him back with just as much heat and passion he was showing her. They were completely unrestrained. Danny had her backed up against a wall and she was trying to push his jacket off. He shrugged out of it and it lay in a heap on the veranda. They had completely forgot they were in the veranda. They were absolutely wrapped up in each other.

A/N ok i know this didn't happen in series 4 bt i sooo hated that their first kiss was when he was unconcious urg soooo i wrote this :)
