Sorry if I confused any one in the last chapter. Jessica is Doug's girlfriend and Tom's girlfriend doesn't have a name in that chapter. Her name is Dani though, and I'll try to make it clearer in this one.

I've got a bank-holiday coming up which means I won't have time to update this one until I get back on Wednesday. I'll try to have a longer chapter then though.

X's for all the reviews, I love them all!!

This chapter is written in 'I' form, mostly because I'm sick of always writing the way I usually do. And it's quite weird, but this is all I could write so I'm going to go with it.

Chapter nine: In the eye of the beholder

Jessica's pov

"I guess David & Goliath have a point whey they say 'boys are stupid, throw rocks at them' because boys are stupid. Especially Tom, Doug and Harry. But that doesn't mean that I want to throw rocks at them. Not at Dougie anyway, cause I like him and he is quite handsome, and the rocks might make him less handsome.

Not that I only like him for his looks, I don't. I like him for his personality but it doesn't hurt that he's pretty cute too.

Hm, now I'm way off topic, where was I?

Aww, look at Doug trying to eat his salad like that, that boy always makes me smile.

Jessica! What?

Oh, great, now I'm arguing with myself, Focus!"

"Right so the boys plan was pretty stupid. Good thing me, Sarah and Dani (Tom's gf) are here to help them. Who knows what would have happened otherwise, force them to tell each other. Yeah like that's going to work.

It's us girls to the rescue! Like superheroes of love or something.

Or not, I don't think superhero-outfits would suit me. I'm not that into spandex and capes and all that stuff."

Sarah's pov

"I wonder what Jessica is thinking about? She looks very deep in thought. Probably something about Danny and Frankie, that is one complicated relationship. I'm glad mine and Harry's aren't like that. I like relationships that are easy. Well, maybe easy is the wrong word, straight forward and uncomplicated, that's how I like it.

Wow, that girl over there has a really cute top on. I wonder where it's from, and if Harry would like it.

Hey, why do I care what he thinks? Duh, because you're in love with him.

Oh, right. But I'd like it in pink instead, it matches my hair better."

"Oh god! Harry just touched my thigh and I jumped about a foot. Hm, I wonder what he has in mind?? Tough question, haha, I'm so funny today. It's a shame I'm cracking jokes that I only can hear. Wait, maybe I can talk to Jess without actually talking to her, that would be so cool.

Jessica!! Look at meeee! DO YOU HEAR ME?"

Back to Jessica's pov

"Geez, why is Sarah looking at me like that. It looks like her eyes are going to pop out of her head or something. Kind of funny actually, I should so take a picture of it."

"And now Tom's winking at me as well. What is it with me tonight? Now he's really winking at me, I didn't even know it was possible to wink that much.

Oh, shit, now I get it. Haha took me long enough. It must be time to execute the master-plan. Mohahaha, I love my evil genius laugh. It's brilliant.

That's my cue, time to make a smooth exit."

'Doug, Tom's signalling, and its time to go' I whisper in his ear.

'Oh right, I completely forgot' "Boys…"

'Ehm, Me and Dougie are going to leave you guys now, its getting late and I feel like getting home' I lied, very gracefully if I can say so myself.

'What, already?' Harry said looking completely lost.

'Yes Harry' I said trying to emphasise every syllable. 'I am tired and want to get to sleep'

I looked desperately at Sarah who quickly whispered something in his ear.

'Oh, now that I think about it, I'm actually pretty tired myself. We just might join you two'

'Great, then we can share a taxi or something'

'Do you think you can fit us too' Dani said looking at me.

'Yeah sure, the more the merrier'

'But why does everyone have to go' Danny asked with a slight pout. 'I thought that we were having fun?'

'Yeah, me too' Frankie added.

'Well, you guys should stay, there's still plenty of wine left, someone should drink it' Tom said standing up. 'I think I see a taxi, we should get going'

'But…' Danny started but before he could continue we were already on our way out of the restaurant.

Danny's pov

'What just happened?' I asked looking at Frankie who sat next to me.

'I have no idea; those guys have been acting weird all night'

'I know, I wonder why?'

Just then a small string-quartet came up to the table and started playing some classical piece.

'Oh, sorry, that's ok, we don't….' I began but was silenced by the violin-player who stood closest.

'Why don't you dance with you pretty girlfriend' I heard him say.

'Um, she's not my…'

'Come on now, dance'

'Fine' I said turning back at Frankie. 'Would you like to dance?'

'I'd love too' she said with a small smile. I smiled back and grabbed her hand leading her out to the improvised dance-floor.

"This is pretty nice" I thought as I held her in my arms. She leaned closer and rested her head on my shoulder and I couldn't help myself, and had to lean in as well. "I wish I could have her this close all the time."

Back to Tom + the gangs' pov

'Wow, look at them! I told you the string-quartet was a good idea' Dani proudly said.

'Yeah, they look perfect together. This has to work. No one can be in that environment and not fall in love with someone, especially if you're already in love with them' Tom agreed.

'I'm sure they will. Now lets get home, I'm freezing' Sarah said from somewhere behind them.

The gang left the window where they had been standing sneaking looks at Frankie and Danny and walked of to find a taxi to take them home. Inside, Frankie and Danny were still dancing close together, none of them saying anything about the way they felt.

Frankie's pov

I lifted my head from Danny's shoulder and looked up into his blue eyes. He smiled down at me and I could see that small glistening in them when he did so.

'Thanks for the dance' I said quietly.

'Your welcome, do you want to get out of here as well'

'Yeah, let's do that'

We grabbed out coats and walked outside into the cold night. Danny managed to find a taxi and moments later we were on out way home. "This has been a weird night" I thought to myself. "Very date-like, but I'm sure I'm the only one who saw it like that. Danny only sees me as his best friend, I guess I should get used to that idea, and just get rid of these feelings. We're never going to be together anyway."

Danny's pov

"That was one of the best dates of my life. How I wish it had been a real date." I though to myself as I stared out the window. I felt Frankie shift beside me and turned towards her. She looked so beautiful tonight and all I wanted to do was tell her how I felt, but I just couldn't bring myself to do it. When she tells me that she doesn't feel the same way, our friendship will never be the same, and I could never do that. She means too much for me to ever do that.

"Damn, I really wish I didn't feel like this."
