AN: Once again, sorry for no updating, it's just there seems to be this great big block in front of me whenever I wanna write...they call that umm...oh yeah, Writers Block! I hate writers block. Anyway, here is the next chapter and just so you know, there will probably only be about 2 more chapters to Special Someone. But don't fret my peoples, there will be the final story of the Dani trilogy up next. All I need is Title ideas. But...more on that later. Read!!
Disclaimer: I don't own Twilight. Or Emmett or Edward, or Bella, or Jasper, or Rosalie, or Carlisle -sob- or anyone save for Dani and Alex.-wipes away tear- Thank you for depressing me tonight. I will now go to my Emo corner.

Just like he had promised, Alex showed up at my door on Friday night, grinning with flowers in his hand. I laughed at his absurdity.
"Flowers! I'm such a lucky girl," I said. Alex smirked and handed them to me. I raised the mix of roses and tulips to my nose and breathed in their scent.
"Wait a minute. These seem familiar. Where did you…" I trailed off as he stared guiltily at his shoes.
"As much as I would love to spend money on you, I thought these would be more thoughtful because I picked them myself. I couldn't find any in the woods so I…" he explained in a rush and was cut off by Esme's voice, turned unusually angry.
"Who touched my garden!" Alex winced and looked sheepishly at me. My mouth opened in shock.
"You didn't." I whispered.
"I did. Sorry."
"Alex!" I scolded.
"ALEX!" came Esme's voice. Alex cringed and grabbed my hand, pulling me out the door.
"We'd better go, I don't want this night to start with Esme biting my head off." We ran to the car and as we drove away I could've sworn I saw Esme at the edge of the driveway, fuming. I turned back in my seat to face forward. Alex had borrowed Rosalie's car for the night and it was nice to be driving in such a fast car.
"I have two questions."
"Shoot."
"One, Where are we going and two, can I drive?" I asked anxiously and leaned forward in my seat.
"I'm not telling and no. Rosalie would kill me if anything happened, and I'm not sure I trust you with a car this fast," Alex replied, turning onto the highway. I slupmed back into my seat and pouted.
"I can't believe Rosalie let you drive. She doesn't even let Emmett drive her convertible."
"Well, none of us can really trust Emmett with our cars," Alex murmered.
"True. True," I paused, "So you're not going to tell me where we're going?"
"Nope."
"Please?" I edged closer to him in my seat.
"Not telling." I placed a hand on his thigh and felt the muscles constrict.
"Please," I murmured in his ear, lowering my voice to a deep, sultry whisper. I saw him swallow loudly.
"No." I leaned in even closer, kissing the space at the back of his ear.
"C'mon Alex, please." I blew in his ear softly and had the satisfaction of feeling him shudder. I took his ear into my mouth and nipped it lightly, all the while rubbing my hand against his thigh in slow, lazy circles.
"Dani. Stop," he muttered between his teeth, trying to surpress a moan.
"Why? Am I ruining your concentration?" I whispered.
"Yes," he half moaned. I laughed, it was unbelievable how I could distract him. Half of me was glad that I wasn't the only one who lost coherent thought when we were around each other. I leaned back and Alex straightened in his seat.
"Are you done torturing me for tonight?" he asked, a smirk hiding in his voice.
"Oh, I'm far from done, but for right now… I'm good." I giggled and put on my seatbelt, a purely human reflex.
"So you're seriously not going to tell me where we're going?" I asked.
"Nope. You'll find out when we get there. Though I'm surprised Alice you didn't see it in Alice's head already. Or a vision. It's extremely hard to plan stuff for you, you know." I laughed.
"You told Alice? So that's why Alice was repeating Beowulf in her head in Japanese the entire time we went shopping. Figures. Did you tell anyone else?"
"Yes. Mostly everyone actually. I wasn't exactly sure what to do, and I wanted opinions."
"So you told everyone except me? That's the reason everyone's been blocking their thoughts this week. Emmett and Rosalie kept thinking about each other and…" I trailed off and shuddered, " Bella and Edward just set up blocks and Jasper avoided me. That explains a lot."
"Aren't Emmett and Rosalie always thinking about…" Alex asked with a smirk.
"Yes. You would think I would know by now not to look at their thoughts but it's like a car accident. You want to look away, but you just can't." Alex burst out into laughter and kept driving out past the limits of town.
"Now it's really starting to bug me. Where the hell are we going?" I asked.
"I'm not telling you. We're almost there anyway." I looked outside the window and noticed that we were coming into Portland. Yes. I big city for once. We showed up at this club in the middle of town with a huge line outside of the door. You could hear the music pounding through the street. I stepped out of the car, grateful that Alice had roped me into wearing make-up and an electric blue mini-dress. There was no way I would've gotten in looking like I normally do. I walked toward the end of the line, and sighed, it would be forever to get in. Just as I took a step in that direction, Alex grabbed my arm, looking confused.
"Where are you going?" He asked.
"I'm well, going to the end of the line. Like normal people," I answered. Alex smiled devilishly and pulled me to him.
"You forget. We're not exactly normal people," he whispered in my ear as we walked toward the main entrance. My eyes widened as Alex shouted a few words and the red rope was opened. I looked up at Alex, shocked.
"What?" he asked.
"Nothing. It's just, I've never seen someone do that outside of the movies." Alex smiled smugly as we found a booth. The club was exactly like they are in the movies. Loud music pounded from everywhere, and strobe light barely lit the large room. The dance floor was lit with lights of every color imaginable. People crowded the dance floor, grinding and dancing to the beat of the music. I looked back at Alex, grinning mischievously. He looked back at me suspiciously.
"What?"
"Wanna dance?" I asked, already grabbing his hand. He sighed colossally and joined me. We skipped over to the dance floor and danced to the pounding bass of the song. I faced Alex and grinned once again, pulling him to me and grinding my hips against his, letting the music flow through me. Alex's brow shot up, but quickly he smiled, gripping my hips and pulling me even closer. Our bodies were so close now, it was almost as if I felt heat from him, radiating through my body and settling low in my stomach. My eyes caught his as we danced, and all the other dancers faded away as I lost myself in pure gold.
ooooooooo000000ooooooooo
We danced the rest of the night and the hours flew by. The nightclub slowly emptied and as the last people were leaving, Alex pulled me toward the door, and we got back into Rosalie's car, racing out in the direction of the ocean. I smiled and leaned down in my seat, eyes closed, in total contentedness. I sighed heavily.
"Happy?" Alex asked quietly.
"Ecstatic," I answered, my voice low. It didn't take up long to get to the ocean, and when we did, we parked near the beach and wandered along the shore as the moon slowly sunk into the sea. We laid in the sand, on the blanket Alex had brought, wrapped in each others arms. I breathed deeply, the smell of saltwater filling my senses. As I rested my head against Alex's chest and closed my eyes, I imagined I was home. That I hadn't made the wrong choice, that Nicholas had never existed. While in this transcendent state, I felt a cold hand creep up my leg, smoothing over my thigh to stop at the place where my leg met my hip. Slowly it creeped towards my center and Nicholas's face flashed in my mind. My eyes shot open and all I could see was him, all I could feel was his arms around me, not Alex's. I screamed and pushed against him roughly my eyes slamming shut again.
"No!" I shouted again, and again.
"Dani! Dani! It's me, Alex, Dani, stop!" Alex's voice called to me and I opened my eyes to see Alex shaking me, lokking at me with panic in his eyes.
"I can't stop. He won't leave me alone. He won't leave me alone." I dry-sobbed into Alex's chest and he held me close as I shuddered and gasped for breath.
"It's okay. He's not here. He's gone, Dani. It's all right," he soothed, smoothing my hair and kissed my head softly, chasing the nightmare away.
AN: Stupid Nicholas. I feel like bringing him back just so Edward and Emmett and all the manly Cullen men can rip him to shreds again. Damn Nicholas.
