Back to Where it All Started ( Chapter 3)
Jocelyn was not sure what was happening. She got away from Chicago to get away from her problems, now she was causing herself more problems by being with Danny. Maybe the break up was her fault as well because there were times she wishes she was in Vegas with Danny.
" Are you okay?" Danny asked as they walked outside, " I noticed you at dinner, you seem distracted. Is something wrong?"
Jocelyn felt like everything was wrong, but she knew what exactly it was, " I told you I just broke up with someome, what else do you want to know?"
" Why you look so mad all of the sudden," Danny said, " You shouldn't be mad or sad, you're too sweet and beautiful to be that."
Jocelyn managed a shy smile, but walked away. Danny walked up to her from behind.
" Hey you want to go check out the view from the roof of the Montecito, you loved it last time?" Danny asked.
Jocelyn shook her head no.
Danny didn't know what else to do. Looking at Jocelyn made him feel sad. He wanted to help her, but didn't know how.
" How about a drive along the strip?" Danny asked, " You'd love it."
Again Jocelyn shook her head NO.
" What do you want to do?" Danny asked, " Help me out here."
Jocelyn looked at him, " I want to be left alone," she said, " But then I didn't come here to be alone, I came to see you. I miss you."
Danny seemed to get the answer he was hoping for, he wondered if she missed him.
" Come on," Danny said, " Let's go for a ride, you haven't seen the sights of Vegas in my car."
Jocelyn managed a bigger smile and then laughed.
" I love the music," Jocelyn said dancing to the music that was playing in the background, " I would love to go dancing right now."
Jocelyn continued to dance to the music on the loudspeaker. Danny just watched her as she swayed back and forth and danced closer to him. She stopped and stared up at him.
" I hate being so short," Jocelyn said, " So many disadvantages. Like all the guys I date have to bend just to kiss me. I don't want to break their back."
Danny just picked her up and looked at her.
" Does this help?" Danny asked.
" Talk about being swept off you feet," Jocelyn said.
Danny then just placed a kiss on her. A kiss Jocelyn was waiting for, or did she want more than that?
A few minutes later, Jocelyn was riding along with Danny in his car.
" This city is beautiful," Jocleyn said, " I guess after awhile you appreciate it. Don't get me wrong though I love Chicago."
Danny just looked at her, " If you move here you could stay with me," Danny said.
Danny stopped at a traffic light.
" I'm not moving, Danny," Jocelyn said," Las Vegas is a nice place to visit, but Chicago is my home."
Danny then just drove as the light changed. Jocelyn screamed as he picked up speed. , but it was a good one.
" Whoo.." Jocleyn said laughing as Danny drove along the strip. Danny laughed with her.
Danny had stopped on a back road and Jocelyn just looked at the view.
" What a view," Jocelyn said, " All the lights, the sights. It's great."
" So is the view from the Sears Tower," Danny said, " I would love to see it again someday., but Ed has me so busy, I can't seem to get away anywhere."
Jocelyn went up to him, Danny was sitting on his car.
" You work too hard," Jocelyn said, " But your dedicated and I'm sure Ed appreciates that"
Danny just brought her closer to him, " It's so great to see you," Danny said.
Jocelyn turned around and Danny just wrapped his arms around her and started kissing the backof her neck and he continued to do so.
" Danny," Jocelyn said, " Slow down."
Danny turned hera round and looked into her eyes, " What if I told you I just want to take you back to my suite?" Danny asked, " I want.."
" Danny, " Jocelyn said interrupting him, " I can't. I know what you want I can see it in your eyes, but thats why I broke up with.. "
" I'm sorry," Danny said, " I thought it was me."
Jocelyn left his grip and just got in the passanger side seat.
" Take me back to the hotel," Jocelyn said crossing her arms.
Danny just got in and started up the car.
" I'm sorry," Danny said.
Jocelyn just looked at him, " So am I," Jocelyn said, " I think I'm about to make the biggest mistake of my life."
" Why?" Danny asked.
" Because of you," Jocelyn said as Danny drove back to the Montecieto, " I do want you."
Danny couldn't believe what he just heard
" Jocelyn are you serious?" Danny asked.
" Do I look serious?" Jocelyn asked.
Danny didn't know what to believe all of the sudden he had misjudged Jocelyn, this was not the Jocelyn Gregory he had grown to know.
