Rosie was sat in the kitchen talking to Max when her dad walked in. She smiled at him as he sat down at the table.
"Looking a bit smart dad." Rosie teased as he pushed his tie further up.
"I've to make an effort." Danny rolled his eyes, he smiled when he saw Rosie was just teasing him, she too was dressed up in a gorgeous floral dress, Max too was in a smart shirt.
Rosie looked up and saw Alice emerging from Charlotte's room. She looked absolutely stunning, she was wearing a bright blue dress that brought her eyes out beautifully, her curves accentuated perfectly. Charlotte too looked adorable in her small pink dress. As they turned round, Rosie and Max snuck a look at Danny and smirked, his mouth was hanging ever so slightly open and his eyes looked like they were about to pop out his head.
"What?" Alice asked innocently patting her hair which she had straightened and was cascading down her back.
"Nothing." Rosie said, "You look amazing Alice!"
"Aww thanks, you look great too." Alice smiled as she sat down beside Danny, she pretended to scrutinize him. "Hmm..." She pulled his jacket back slightly. "Why you do scrub up well!"
"Hmm, yes... as do you! You look really pretty Alice." Danny smiled, she smiled back and almost together as though they were parallel, both looked down and hid their blushes. Rosie had to leave the room before she accidently laughed, Max followed and Charlotte had ran to go see Dupe who was outside.
"And then there was two." Danny sighed. "Do you know where we are going?"
"What if I do?" Alice teased.
"Would you tell me?" Danny asked.
"Maybe." Alice pretended to shrug, "Or maybe not, it's classified information, you'd have to persuade me."
"How much persuasion would you require?" Danny whispered quietly.
"A lot." Alice replied shortly and quietly.
"Ok... so... you need persuasion." He saw Alice nod. "Money?" Alice pretended to weigh it up and shrugged. "Chores?" Alice smiled.
"Warmer." Alice grinned.
"Okay... okay... erm... I know! What if..." Danny leant forward slightly and was about to continue when Dupe walked in.
"Oi! You two! Come on we gotta go. Alice you driving Trevanion and Charlotte?" Dupe asked, Danny and Alice slyly moved away from one another.
"Yeh sure... come on." Alice smiled at Danny as she picked up her bag and Jeep keys.
"Do I trust you to drive in those killers?" Danny asked looking down at her rather large heels.
"I'm fully capable!" Alice argued as she and Danny walked outside, Charlotte joined them as they walked down.
"But you are a woman." Danny reminded her.
"How'd you know?" Alice teased, Danny's mouth dropped slightly... "AND, I find that so sexist, I am a perfectly good driver!"
"I erm..." Danny's voice was more of a squeak. "We all know men drive so much better than women."
Alice hit him with her bag.
"Don't be so sexist, women are way better than men, and if you even dare to disagree my 'killer's will be giving your head a one to one by implantation... got it?" Alice asked as she climbed in.
"I surrender!" Danny threw his hands in the air before helping Charlotte into the Jeep, he clambered into the Jeep beside Alice.
He shook his head at her as she pulled out the pink material, she grinned and waved it front of his face nodding.
"No way!" Danny announced.
"Oh come on!" Alice giggled trying to reach over to him. "Don't be a bore."
Danny tried to get away but Alice got him, wrapping the scarf she'd been holding around his eyes.
"Do I have to wear this?"
"No, humour me." Alice giggled... "oh and just in case you decide to get clever." He felt another piece of material wrap tightly around his wrists.
After around twenty minutes of driving, Alice driving purposely slow to annoy him, they arrived at Max's bar. Alice jumped out, helped Charlotte out before grabbing Danny's wrists leading him the way.
"Oh, this could be taken really dodgily you know." Danny reminded Alice.
"Yes it could..." Alice agreed as she pushed him through some doors.
"ALICE!" He laughed as he heard her cheeky giggle.
"Okay okay, keep still, Danny bend down!" Alice was trying to undo his tie but was failing, she'd undone his wrists, but could not reach to undo the scarf around his eyes.
"Too short?" Danny grinned as he bent down, Alice undid the blindfold and took it off. Danny stood up and grinned as he heard a shout of surprise and all his closest family and friends around him.
"Wow thanks everyone!" Danny grinned.
The night went on and it wasn't long before everyone was feeling tipsy, Danny had been controlling his drink though as he had decided he was going to drive Alice and Charlotte home. He looked around and saw Dupe drinking himself away, Rosie and Max were dancing, as were Charlotte and Nomsa. He looked around and saw Alice sat on her own watching Charlotte and Nomsa, he smiled and walked over.
"Hey you, how come you're on your own?" Danny smiled as he approached Alice.
"Everyone's off dancing." Alice smiled. "I see Dupe's passed out." She laughed.
"Yeh." Danny looked at her and held out his hand, she looked up at him in confusion. "Miss Collins, would you care to dance?" He grinned at her. Alice smiled back at him, god he was so handsome.
"I would love to." Alice smiled as he took her hand and placed it upon his arm.
They arrived at the dance floor and immediately fell into the usual dancing position. Rosie and Max raised their eyebrows at one another.
They swayed gently in time with the music. Alice couldn't take her eyes off him, and Danny couldn't take his eyes off her. They were both smiling. Alice's hand was rested gently upon his shoulder and his hand was rested on her waist, sending tingles all around the area. This was their dream...
"So, have I hurt your toes yet?" Danny asked softly.
"Hmm." Alice looked up at him. "No."
"Good." Danny said, suddenly Alice saw his eyes changed and immediately she knew she was a) going to have sore toes or b) he was going to do something that she was not ready for. The answer was b, he suddenly spun her round, she squealed slightly as he caught her.
"DANNY!" Alice giggled and slapped his chest, Danny's low rumbling laugh intoxicated her and so she rested her head on his chest as she had her own giggling fit. She couldn't stop... this is where she wanted to be forever.
"I don't get what's so funny?" Danny asked.
"I dunno." Alice giggled as she raised her head. "God, I'm not a good dance partner."
"I think you're an amazing dance partner!" Danny smiled.
Alice hugged him gently as they finished their dancing before the pair walked off to buy drinks, both mesmerised by one another and trying to relive every second on the dance.
