Alice's POV
I looked at Danny as he woke up, oh he was so seriously cute. He rubbed his eyes, groaned and then sat up, he grinned sleepily at me.
"Hey." I smiled as I put my mascara down and walked over to him.
"Hello, I'm sure you are a vet Miss Collins not Lara Croft." He grinned as I sat on the bed beside him.
I kissed him quickly before explaining, I'm sure I'd told him about this Children In Need day at work!
"Hmm..." I ran my fingers down his bare chest. "It's Children In Need so we're dressing up as computer game characters, but we all had to do playstation games, but only the original ones!"
"Ahh, well you look stunning..." Danny smiled at me, "In fact.." He grabbed hold of me. "I may ring in sick and hold you hostage!"
I laughed at him.
"As much as I'd like that, I could call on Vanessa to rescue me!"
"Well it's never stopped you before!" Danny giggled.
"Are you suggesting... me, have sex with you? Urgh never!" I stood up and pretended to walk away in disgust.
"Never?" Danny asked raising his eyebrows.
"Nope." I winked, I turned round... "You were a disappointment!"
"But I thought it was a never!" Danny grinned.
"Never again." I replied back equally as smug.
"Hmm, come here." Danny replied, I did as I was told and jumped into his arms. I led on the bed with him, wrapped up in his arms. "You sure you okay to go work?"
"Yeh, I need to hand this in anyway." I sighed as I picked up my letter of resignation.
"Hmm... me too, thankfully I'm not in til two, but don't get home until seven." Danny sighed.
"Danny... I was joking you know." I told him quickly.
"I know you were, why do you say that everytime." He chuckled.
"Cos I get feeling all guilty!" I replied. "Anyway." I patted his chest, "Some of us don't get lie ins, in fact you can get up! Vanessa needs to be made welcome!" I got up after giving him a quick kiss and finished my look.
Vanessa's POV
I opened the door to the room I'd slept in. Danny and Alice had done well for themselves over here, the room I'd slept in had been lovely and the whole house seemed fantastic. I smiled to myself as I heard Alice ordering him downstairs.
"Right, you need to make sure Charlie has her key, send her a text, and if you don't send her a text, chicken won't be only thing I'll be cooking in the oven." I heard Alice say.
"What kind of oven?" Danny giggled, I gasped at his dirty mindedness.
"DANNY!" Alice scolded him. "You are... you ain't cooking in my oven mate! Anyway, you best do as I've told you, that's if you've been listening." There was pause and a sigh, I began to walk downstairs.
"STICK EM UP!" I heard Alice shout. I stood for a moment in shock. Alice had two plastic guns out and was chasing Danny around the kitchen, he had his hands up but was laughing at her. I smiled, I guessed she was dressing up as Tomb Raider for Children In Need.
"Oh, mercy me!" Danny announced.
"You? Mercy?" Alice laughed, I heard the plastic guns go off, thinking it would be half safe to go in. Wrong. Danny was on the kitchen floor and Alice was stood over him.
"Morning Vanessa." Danny smiled on the floor.
"Morning." I replied.
Alice took her foot off Danny and let him get up. She laughed.
"Sorry Vanessa... anyway... Danny will make you what you want for breakfast, anything you want just ask him, if he says no, smack him, if he says no again... ring me." Alice winked. "Car keys..." She walked to a place where there seemed to be a number of keys. She looked at Danny. "Where have you put my baby's keys?"
"I don't know what you are talking about." Danny replied whistling.
"Danny! I am already late thanks to you, and I look a twat so please tell me where the keys are!" Alice whined.
He pointed on top of the fridge.
"That is not fair." Alice snapped grabbing a chair. "You know I can't reach or see up there."
"It's funny to watch you get stressed." Danny admitted.
"Glad I amuse you, go drive yer bus!" Alice told him. He laughed at her.
"See you later Vanessa, I'll be back about five, Charlotte will be here at 4 though." Alice smiled. I watched as Danny looked at her with soft eyes. "See you later Danny." They kissed quickly but the meaning was so clear to see. "Keep safe... love you." I heard her whisper.
"You too, love you Miss Collins turned Croft." I heard Danny reply.
"See you later."
Alice rushed out the door quickly and Danny turned to me.
"So, what you eating?" Danny asked me. "Toast, cereal, Alice's crap... don't tell her I said that or she'll eat me alive, no comments on how she does that anyway... or, I could sneak to the butty shop and buy some big fat bacon butties." Danny grinned.
"Toast will be fine, thanks Danny." I smiled as he got to work.
"So, how was your flight?" Danny asked me as he buttered the toast, he walked over and set it down in front of me.
"Awkward." I replied.
"Hmm." Danny looked down. "I could kill him."
"I think he's got a list of people who could kill him." I sighed.
Alice's POV
"I'm gonna miss you all, but it's time for us to... go home." I sighed as I announced my month's notice to everyone.
"It's a great shame to lose you Alice." Mark told me, there was a murmur of agreement, I smiled and nodded back gratefully.
"Danny's good to return to vetting..." I smiled.
"DANNY'S A VET?" Ellen exclaimed.
"Yes." I replied, "There's some complicated reasons into it all but we need to get back." I sighed. "Anyway, there's time for tears later, this is Children In Need, we should enjoy it!"
"Good idea!" They all agreed I smiled... during our lunch we'd decided to go and offer ourselves for sponging. I'd neglected to mention this to Danny... no way was he sponging me!
Danny's POV
"I really have to go to work." I told Vanessa, "But just make yourself at home."
"Okay, thanks Danny." She replied.
"See you." I said quickly and left... I smiled, Alice would be on her lunch right now, maybe I could pop in on my way through. Yeh, that sounded a good idea.
It didn't take me long to reach her works, but it did take me a few minutes to process why the hell Alice was having sponges thrown at her in a spotty stile. I smiled... oh, I'd pay for this.
"Why Hello darling." I grinned walking up to her and pressing a kiss to her lips.
"What the hell are you doing here? I purposely didn't tell you!" Alice exclaimed at me.
"Ahh, I'm just too caring of man not to see you my beautiful!" I grinned. "I'll have two quids worth Ellen."
"THATS 12 SPONGES!" Alice shouted.
"Maybe I'll give her 4 quid." I laughed as I gave Ellen two more pound coins.
"You are so dead when I get out of here." Alice warned me. "Come on then, you have crap aim anyway."
"You'd know." I replied as I threw the first sponge at her, it hit her directly in the face.
"That all you got?" She taunted.
"Nope." I replied as I hurled another one at her and then another one. They all hit her in the face, hard. She was soaked when I'd finished my twenty four sponges. She got out the styles and looked at me with a thunderous expression on her face.
"Danny..." Alice's voice was low.
"I'm late for work!" I announced as I ran off, I saw Alice running after me, she caught up with me as we rounded the corner into the trees of the park.
"Oi." Alice giggled, "Can't believe you did that."
"Hmm..." I replied, "Like you wet."
Alice's mouth dropped.
"NO! NO!" I said quickly.
"You wanna watch you say Danny." Alice laughed, "Anyway, you are actually late for work so..."
She leant up and kissed me passionately on the lips, I responded, wrapping my arms around her. She smiled on my lips and we were just getting to the best bit when...
"Alice will you put him down! It's your turn to sponge Mark." Ellen shouted.
"You best go." I told her.
"Hmm, love you Danny."
"I love you too..." I replied kissing her, we waved before I set off down the hill to work...
A/N – thought I'd use the CIN theme! x
