Danny's P.O.V
"Had a weird conversation with Ed today" I said picking up my glass of wine. We had had our main course and we're waiting for the deserts in the lovely restaurant Mike had recommended to me 'guaranteed to get you some ass' he had said, 'and if it doesn't lose the girl'.
"About what?" she asked looking over the table at me.
"He said if I ever hurt you he'd kill me" I told her
"Well he doesn't need to worry cause we're only friends" she answered. Ouch! That hurt.
"Is that all you wanna be?" I asked her "you just wanna be friends?"
"Don't do this Danny please" she said looking in to her wine glass avoiding eye contact.
"I just wanna know, if that's all you want than tell me, I can't keep hoping and wishing that we're gonna go somewhere if you don't want us to"
She starred at her glass for a little longer contemplating her next words "I just wanna be friends" she finally said
"Fine I'm just glad I know"
Stacey's P.O.V
We sat in awkward silence for the rest of the meal and we rushed back to the Montecito as fast as we could to get away from each other. I got in to my room, took off the dress and took off my make up. I know I'd messed up with him but there was things about me he wouldn't like and it wouldn't be fair to bring him in to my sordid past. I couldn't sleep I was sat watching TV at 3 am I knew Delinda wouldn't be asleep so I called her cell phone.
"Hey babe, what you doin?" I asked when she answered
"Nothing just finishing work" she answered. Delinda, working, it was a funny thought but she had really jumped in to her job at Mysitque.
"I need to talk" I told her
"Ben and Jerry's talk?" she asked,I laughed "definitely and lots of it"
"say no more, give me 20 minutes". She was true to her word and 20 minutes later she was at my door with two tubs of chocolate chip Ben and Jerry's. "So what's up?" she asked taking a spoon of ice cream."I think it's time I told Danny about my past" I said.
The spoon stopped half way to her mouth. "Really?" she asked
"Yeah. We went out to dinner and he asked me if I wanted to be anything more than friends, I said no, it wouldn't have been fair of me to say yes"
"What he doesn't know won't hurt him" Delinda told me
"He's gonna find out one way or another and I think it's better if it comes from me"
"If you think it's the right thing to do, go for it" she said before eating her ice cream.
"I have to, if I want any sort of relationship with him, friends or more than friends, he should know"
"So go tell him but don't expect him to understand" Delinda told me, no one understood I didn't understand either, but I had to tell him.
