A/N: I finally found out exactly when Josh Hartnett is on Jay Leno. They lied to me on Monday saying he was on Tuesday but I did a little investigating and found out it is this Friday! Ok well anyway, sorry it took so long for this chapter but I am real close to a rut. I have ideas but I'm not sure if you'd like them…anyway, leave ideas so I can decide if you'd like mine. So here's Chapter 11. Oh yeah and I raised the rating because now that they're getting older their vocabulary goes up a rating.
The clear night sky opened into a beautiful new day. The fields were covered in the warm blanket of sun as the new buds on the trees began to blossom.
Danny Walker stretched his arms and rubbed his sleepy eyes as he looked over at Rafe's bed. He was gone! This surprised Danny since Rafe didn't usually get up till early afternoon.
The kitchen was filled with the sweet aroma of frying bacon and pancakes. Danny trampled down the stairs as he took a moment to appreciate the smell. He walked into the kitchen surprised at what he saw.
It was Rafe standing in front of the stove…cooking!? (Imagine a large band playing dun…dun…dun!)
"What the hell is wrong with you?" Danny said in shock.
"Oh, shit you scared me!" Rafe said setting down the spatula.
"Is there something going on or somethin'?" Danny questioned, "I mean are you ok?"
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm fine," he said setting the food on the table.
"I know you McCawley and when there's somethin' wrong you do strange things, so spill it."
"Um, sure I'll 'spill it'!" Rafe answered sarcastically. "Well, seriously though I guess I'm kind of jealous."
"Why?" Danny asked puzzled. Rafe wasn't the type to admit of being jealous.
"Well you have someone, you're falling in love."
"But you've gotten tons of girls."
"Yeah, but none of them were as special as Kirsten is."
Danny smiled nodding a bit. "Well I'm just scared I guess."
"Why?"
"What if the only reason I'm giving Kirsten a chance is because she's pretty now?"
"Nah, her being pretty just opened your eyes to her."
Danny placed his hands on his forehead as he leaned against the table. He looked up at Rafe and then picked up a pancake with his fork holding it up to him. "What's up with this?" he asked laughing a bit.
Rafe smiled as his cheeks turned a bright crimson. "I'm just tryin' somthin' new," he sighed as he too began to laugh.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Danny walked out to see the sunrise; there in the glory of the light lay the crop duster, so beautiful in the new enchanted light. He walked over and jumped into the plane as he slowly began the engine.
The engine rattled into a large roar, "shit," Danny responded to the loud noise. The plane accelerated forward, as it's wheels finally made its last contact with the land.
For Danny flying was a time he could free his mind and think about life, to escape from the world.
This morning in particular was a day Danny though of his relationship. Am I rushing into things? He asked himself, I mean I didn't giver her the time of day till I came back.
He slowly brought the plane to the ground and walked back to the house, the chill of the morning air over whelming his bones. He then found sudden warmth as he saw Kirsten on the porch.
"Hey," he said dryly as he stood on the porch next to her.
"Hey," she responded.
"Um, well, about you and me," he replied looking everywhere but at her, "I…"
A/N: Ooo that's it for chapter 11, ok well give me your ideas so I can incorporate them into the story like thanks to Huntress Minerva for opening my eyes, it seemed that Danny only liked Kirsten because she was pretty so I wrote this chapter…see!!! I do listen to you guys. Thanx so much for your reviews more stuff later… bye!
