Chapter Five
Danni lifted her blue eyes to look at Iggy. He may be blind, but he was also looking to where Danni approximately was. Was last nights meeting going to be revealed?
"Last night we went outside to talk. You know, we were getting to know each other," Iggy responded.
Angel turned to Iggy, "And Nudge saw."
The Gasman was staring blankly, "Wait. What does Nudge seeing them have to do with any thing?"
Max's eyes widened, if that was possible at the moment. "Nudge loves Iggy. Not the 'we're family' love but the 'head over heels' love."
Everyone seemed to go into their own world and contemplated this last thought.
Was it true? Iggy thought. What could he say? He liked Nudge, but as a sister not as a girlfriend or anything.
Danni jumped onto the counter. She was turning this over. Nudge liked Iggy. Therefore she hated Danni. Make sense? In a twisted way, yes.
Danni tied her black hair back into a high bun with the hair tie she had placed onto her arm when she woke up.
Was it getting hot in here or was it just her?
---Meanwhile---
Nudge had slammed the door and started off towards the wood.
How pissed was Max going to be? What if she figures this out and tells Iggy? What if they make fun of me? Wait, what's going on, all this drama over a guy?
Nudge stopped leaning against a tree. She liked Iggy, a lot, but she never thought she would be the jealous type. What if it's the School? Or maybe I really am jealous, but I like Danni. How could I have said those mean things?
---Back in the Kitchen---
Iggy sighed, "Danni, I think you and I need to talk," then he added, "In private."
Danni nodded and jumped off the counter. She took his arm and led him to her parent's room. She closed the door. If the others tried they would be able to hear, but it would be more muffled then if the door were open.
"What?" she said trying not to let her voice tremble.
He held her hand. He was stalling for time. "Danni. I think that maybe…maybe we should…"
He dropped the sentence. Danni's eyebrows were lifting in anticipation to what he was going to say.
"Maybe we should what?" she asked with a twinge of annoyance in her voice.
He looked pained, "I mean. There's Nudge, but I don't care about her the way I care about you. I mean I like her, but as a sister. You, I think I could love you, in time that is."
Danni gave him a blank stare, not that it helped her.
Iggy leaned down and brushed his lips on her cheek. She hadn't noticed until now that he was tall, very tall. Not to brag or anything, but she was tall herself, 5'7. She realized that he passed for a little over 6 feet.
"You know what? You're tall," she couldn't stop herself.
"You think?" he replied with a smile.
