Chapter 11 – Lying to You

"You were just what, Danielle?" Randy looked very impatient because he really just wanted to know what had been bothering Dani lately.

"I was just…I was just…okay so maybe I was a little jealous." Danielle shrugged her shoulders giving in.

"Really?" Randy had a devilish grin on his face because he knew he was right.

"But not for the reasons you think." She quickly replied. "I wasn't jealous of you being with her because frankly I could care less about you love life. I was jealous that my…" Danielle had to think of something quick to explain herself. "…that my…boyfriend couldn't be here to be with me." Danielle emphasized the word boyfriend.

"Your boyfriend?" Randy was crushed but he couldn't let Danielle see that. "I didn't know you had a boyfriend."

"Yeah, I do, he lives back in…New York. When I first said I was leaving New York we got in a fight and broke up…because he didn't really want a long distance relationship…but we've since reconciled…and now we talk every night." Danielle made up a huge tale about her boyfriend right on the spot. Actually she was quite talented to think of a lie that easily.

"Oh, well that's good." Randy was trying to seem excited for Danielle but he was really crushed. "Is he going to come visit sometime? I'd really like to meet him."

"Yeah, Jack will probably come visit…sometime. I'm not really sure when though. You see…he works a lot and…I'm afraid if I let him come visit I'll never let him leave." Danielle laughed. This story was just getting better and better.

"Oh, so how long have the two of you been dating?"

"Um, about 7 months."

"Wow, that's quite a while. So Jack must have helped you a lot with everything you went through when your mother passed away."

"Um…yeah, he was always there for me when I needed him."

"That's good. I'm happy for you." He really wasn't because he was starting to have feelings for her. No, not starting he already had feelings for her. Ever since the night that he comforted her in the corner of that little café, he had feelings for her. "You know, I really just want to put this whole misunderstanding with Kellie behind us. Friends?" He outstretched his hand to Dani.

"Friends." She took his hand and shook it. His touch sent shock waves through her arm. There was no denying that she had feelings for Randy but she really just needed time to sort them out. She did want to be his friend though because he at least deserved that for all he did for her. "And I'll promise not to avoid you anymore." Dani took back her hand.

Randy laughed. He wanted her to touch him again though. "Thanks. So you're going clubbing with Trish tonight?"

"Yeah, I kind of promised her I would. She has been begging me ever since I started traveling with Ric."

"Well…" Randy smiled. "…maybe I'll see you there."

"Okay, make sure you save a dance for me." Ugh, Danielle mentally kicked herself. She was asking herself why she always flirted with Randy when she had just said that she just wanted to be friends.

Randy winked at her. "I'll be sure to do that. See you sometime later." Randy started heading towards the door because he had to get ready for his match that was on soon.

"Bye" Inside Danielle was wondering what her big mouth had gotten her into this time.

Later that evening, Danielle was in her hotel room trying to get ready to go out with Trish. The problem was that she was having trouble trying to figure out what she should wear. Thankfully she had left the arena early so that she would have extra time to get ready. Danielle had come back from the arena and hopped right into a warm shower. All throughout her shower Danielle was thinking about Randy and the conversation they had. Dani had never had feelings for someone this strong or this quickly so she didn't want to give into them yet.

She had tried to avoid Randy but her thoughts always returned to him so when he cornered her she had to make something up. She just needed more time to sort out all of the feelings she was having for him. She just wasn't ready to tell him how she felt yet. Originally she had hoped her night out would take her mind off of Randy but now that she knew he was going it would be even worse. She would have to control her feelings all night. She was even considering backing out but she couldn't do that because she knew that it would upset Trish a lot.

Trish had told Danielle to be in the hotel lobby to meet her at 11:30. Trish was going to shower and change at the arena and then pick Danielle up at the hotel. Danielle was ready by 11:00 dressed in cute white dress pants that showed off her curves perfectly and complemented her long legs. She paired it with strappy black sandals and a coral tank top. The top tied in the front and then split open, with ruffles lining the edge, just below the chest to show off just enough of her abs. She also wore a silver hoop chain belt and long silver earrings that brushed against her collarbone very seductively whenever she moved her head. She decided to put her hair back in a low side ponytail because she liked the way it flowed down one side of her torso. Even though it was only 11:00, Danielle decided to head down to the lobby anyway. On her way down the hall though she ran into Ric.

"Hey Ric."

"Hi sweetie." Ric leaned in and gave Dani a hug. "Where are you headed to?"

"I'm just heading down to the lobby to meet Trish to go out clubbing."

"Oh okay. I hope you have fun." Ric started to head towards his hotel room.

"I'll try." Danielle started walking towards the elevator.

"Oh, wait." Ric turned around remembering he wanted to ask Danielle about something. "Randy was telling me something about you having a boyfriend."

"Um, yeah. Jeez you and Randy sure do talk about me a lot." Danielle had an annoyed look on her face because it seemed like all Randy and Ric did was talk about her.

"No, we do not talk about you that much. Its just that recently you have been the topic of conversation. So when do I meet this young man?"

"You can meet Jake whenever I ask him to come visit me."

"Wait, his name is Jake? I could have sworn Randy said his name was Jack."

"Um…" Danielle didn't know what to say. "Randy must have been confused because I'm sure I told him that my boyfriend's name is Jake because that is what it is."

"Danielle?" Ric crossed his arms. "I've known you for a short while but I can already tell when you are lying to me."

"No I'm not."

"Danielle?"

"Fine, okay…I don't have a boyfriend."

"Okay, so why did you tell Randy that you did? Do you have feeling for Randy?" Ric uncrossed his arms.

"No…okay, I think so but I just needed time to sort them out and I still do. I avoided him for a while but then he talked to me and I had to say something."

"Dani, I'm sure you don't want my opinion on issues like this but I'm going to give it anyway. You really just need to tell Randy the truth and your feelings will sort themselves out." Ric was trying to be the fatherly figure that he wanted Danielle to see him as since he was her father but she was still having trouble with that.

"You're probably right but please don't say anything until I do."

"Fine, I won't. Have a good time tonight." Ric turned to go to his hotel room.

"Thanks, I will. Bye" Danielle headed towards the elevator. She wasn't sure if she would be able to tell Randy tonight but she did know that she was going to have some fun tonight no matter what.

A/N – Maybe it wasn't what you all expected but here it is, another chapter. The next chapter will be at the club. I wonder if Dani will be able to control herself and what Randy will do? Hmm, should be interesting. Thanks to all my reviewers. You guys are awesome and are the reason I continue to write. Please review!
