Birthday Surprise
Even though we had only been away for four days, Dougie and I acted like we hadn't seen each other in weeks. After I got off the phone with Dougie telling him and the rest all about the good news, we all decided to go back over to the guys apartment. As soon as I walked into the door, Dougie came rushing at me and picked me up in a big hug.
"Tonya!" He shouted. "I missed you sooo much!"
"I missed you too Dougie!" I yelled back, hugging him tightly.
"Dude you guys were only apart for like four days." Eli commented rolling her eyes.
"I know but it felt like longer. You and Harry aren't allowed to argue anymore. I can't go through Dougie withdraw again." Everyone laughed when I said this.
"You could still have seen him you know."
"I know, but I kept away out of respect for you. However I had a feeling you two would be getting back together, so it didn't bother me that much." Eli looked at me shocked. "You two are in love. Nothing could separate you two." I beamed and everyone laughed. We all walked into the living room and sat down. Danny was in one chair, Tom in another with Gia on his lap. Dougie and I were side by side on the couch with Harry beside me and Eli on his knee.
"So I think that in honor of my coming here and Eli and Harry getting back together we should all go out tonight." Gia said smiling widely at the crowd.
"Oohh I second that!" I jumped excitedly in my seat.
"Yeah that sounds like a lot of fun." Dougie agreed. I turned to him and gave him a high five.
"Eli, Harry?" Tom questioned looking at the happy couple. They looked at one another and said 'sure.' "Danny?" We all turned to Danny who took his gaze from the television and looked at us. He shrugged and said 'Yeah, sure.'
"Great it's all settled then. We'll leave about nine o'clock." Gia looked at her watch. "Ohh, we better start getting ready girls." She said getting up from Toms lap. He groaned in protest of the removal of her presence.
"But you still have a few hours." He wined.
"I know, but we're girls Tom." Gia winked and we followed her out of the room laughing.
McFly
Nine o'clock that night we were all dressed and headed to the cars. We took two cars since there were a bunch of us. Tom, Gia, and Danny were riding in one car and Me, Dougie, Harry and Eli in another. While Harry and Eli chatted in the front seats, Dougie and I whispered quietly in the back.
"So Tonya, have you thought anymore on your feelings about what were talked about the other day?"
I was confuse a moment, then it dawned on me what he was talking about. "Oh, that, no not really. I've been worried about Eli the past few days, I haven't really thought about my own problems in the love area."
"Oh, well you should really figure out how you feel. I mean we only have a few weeks left here and then we head out again." I frowned.
"Don't talk about that Dougie, it makes me depressed." He chuckled but placed his arm around me, pulling me to him. "Oh don't worry, you'll get to come visit us on tour."
"I know, but I'm so used to having you guys here everyday. It's almost like having my own personal shrink right around the block."
"Oh, I see how it is, you're just using me."
"I always was Dougie." I joked and he looked hurt.
"I'm just kidding." I said placing a light kiss on his cheek.
"You and Danny would be good together. You're both mean." Dougie pouted and I punched him lightly in the arm. Just then we pulled up outside the club and got out of the car. Harry gave the valet the keys and he parked the car.
"So what do you want to do first?" I asked as we walked into the club. "Drink or Dance?" We found a table to fit us all and sat at it.
"Well I don't know about you, but that dace floor is calling my name." Gia said taking a hold of Tom's hand. "Come on Mr. Fletcher, lets shake things up on the floor." We laughed as Tom groaned slightly but followed Gia out on the dance floor.
"How about you Miss Weston, do you fancy shaking things up?" Harry asked Eli who was setting on his lap.
"AS long as we keep it PG. I'm Not getting another call from my mother. God I've had enough of her yelling at me the past four days." Harry chuckled slightly and stood up kissing Eli on the cheek.
"Don't worry hun, we'll keep it clean." Harry shot us a wink as they headed off towards the dance floor.
"Well how about you two?" I asked shooting Danny and Dougie looks.
"Bring on the drinks!" Danny cheered and Dougie agreed with him.
"Great!" I said a wide smile on my face. "First rounds on you." I slapped Danny on the back and he just groaned. Dougie and I laughed as he headed up to the bar.
McFly
A couple drinks later we were feeling pretty good. The alcohol had begun to make us feel a little more happy and open. We were laughing and talking about a time when Dougie and I had pulled a prank on Danny when Eli and I visited them on tour towards the beginning of our friendship with them. Even though Danny had been really angry that we stole his straightener and conditioner and added orange food coloring to his shampoo, he seemed to be passed that now.
"Oh well, don't worry I'll get you both back for that one." Danny laughed finishing off his drink. He set the glass down and let out a burp.
"Oh come on Jones that was weak." I said putting my glass to my lips and chugging the rest of it. Then I let out I a burp that totally put Danny's to shame.
"Oh that was great Tonya." Dougie said laughing and giving me a high five.
"Yeah I do have to admit, that was a great burp." Danny agreed shooting me a genuine smile. I smiled back shyly then looked away. "I think you should get a prize. You get to guy us our next round."
"Oh how lucky I am." I said getting to my feet and making my way up to the bar. The guy working behind the counter was the same guy from before. I walked up to the bar and smiled widely at him. He raised an eyebrow but didn't say anything. I ordered our drinks and he just looked at me. "Come on man, are we going to have to do this every time?" I rolled my eyes and pulled my ID out. He looked at it and just nodded his head. "We're going to have to work on your memory skills, that way we don't have to go through this every time." He just let out a little laugh and served me our drinks. I told him thanks and winked at him, then headed back to the table.
When I got back, I noticed a girl sitting in my seat talking to the guys. So I walked over to the table and set in the seat across from her. "Here you go guys. Sorry I took so long. That bartender has a really bad memory. He carded me again." Dougie and Danny looked up at me from talking to the girl and started laughing.
"Well Tonya, you do look kind of young for your age." Danny said taking his drink from me.
"Yeah but still, he should have remembered me, I mean, I'm hott." I joked handing Dougie his drink. They both took a drink and shook their heads. I winked at the girl and looked back at Danny and Dougie.
Dougie saw me look at the girl and introduced her. "Oh Tonya, this is Shelby. Shelby this is our friend Tonya." The girl smiled politely and stuck out her hand.
"These guys weren't bothering you were they?" I laughed and the girl's smiled widened.
"Uh no, actually I was just going to ask Dougie here to dance if that's ok." She said shooting me an unsure glance. I shrugged and looked at Dougie who smiled.
"I'd love to dance." He said setting his drink down and standing up offering his hand to Shelby. I watched them make their way out to the dance floor and begin to dance.
The table became quiet as it was just now me and Danny. I scanned the crowd and found Eli and Harry dancing slowly even though the music was fast. They were keeping it pretty PG this time. I only saw them kissing and Harry's hands were placed firmly on her hips. After that I found Gia and Tom pulling some Danny dance moves in the corner. I laughed and rolled my eyes and looked over at Danny who was staring off into the crowd.
"Got your eye on some girl Jones?" I leaned over and asked Danny, causing him to jump slightly.
"Huh, oh nah, just watching the people dance." He replied looking at me quickly then taking a drink. "What about you? Have you found some guy that catches your fancy?"
I shrugged my shoulders and picked up my drink. "No, not really." Danny watched me take a drink then look back out at the crowd.
"I've noticed that Eli and Harry have toned it down a bit." Danny commented.
"Yeah well after everything that's happened I don't' think Eli's shooting for another front page again. Besides if I were her I wouldn't want to be on the front page on account of her mom. Man that woman is harsh. She called a bunch of times the past four days. Eventually we just ignored her calls, but she just yelled at our answering machine. I deleted most of them before Eli heard."
"Wow, I didn't know her mom could be so mean. Harry said she was nice."
"Oh yeah she's nice. So long as you're not 'disgracing' her family." I replied with fake arrogance in my voice.
"People like that make me mad."
"Yeah me too." We both fell silent again. A couple minutes later Gia and Tom came bounding over to the table panting slightly. Gia reached for my drink and took a big drink out of it then placed it back on the table saying 'Thanks.'
"Uh yeah no problem." I replied looking at how much she had drank.
"So are you two going to sit here all night?" Gia asked sitting on Tom's knee and leaning back against him.
"I don't know, it just depends really." I said staring at my glass.
"Depends on what?" Gia questioned.
"If anyone asks me to dance. I'm not really good at asking others to dance." I replied. Gia just rolled her eyes and laughed lightly.
"What about you Danny?" Gia asked turning to him and smirking.
He sat up in his chair and looked a little uncomfortable. "Uh, I don't know. I haven't decided yet." I felt a little pang of sadness when he said this. It really confused me when I felt that way.
"Yeah I find it odd Jones that you're still sitting here at the table when normally you're the first one on the floor." Tom said wrapping his arms around Gia and pulling her close.
"Oh well, I'm just not in the mood to dance right now." Danny shrugged. He was staring at his glass and didn't look up.
"Well that's not the Danny Jones I know." Tom said frowning at him. "Are you feeling alright?"
"Yeah I just have a lot on my mind right now that's all." Danny said looking back out at the crowd. Gia looked from me then to Tom, but Tom just shrugged his shoulders.
"Well lover, I think we should give the dance floor another go. What do you think?" Gia said getting up and pulling Tom up with her.
"Ugh girl you're wearing me out." He said standing up.
"Oh no, I'm not wearing you out now. That's for later on tonight." She smiled coyly at him then winked at me and strutted out onto the dance floor pulling him behind her.
Once again the table was silent. I couldn't think of anything to say to Danny so I opted for not saying anything at all. I looked back out at the crowd and spotted Dougie and Shelby dancing. Dougie leaned over and whispered something in her ear causing her to break out in a big grin and slap his chest playfully.
A little while later after watching the crowd some more I saw a couple girls looking our way. One of them had a mischievous glint in her eye as she stared at Danny. I looked over at him, but he was oblivious to her as he was watching Tom and Gia dance. Looking back over at the girl I saw her lean in close to her friend and say something that made them all giggle. I rolled my eyes and looked away, a jealous feeling beginning to stir in my stomach.
Why was I feeling like that? Was this my mind trying to tell me something, or was it all my imagination. I know that things between Danny and me never were that great, but really all of that was based on a misunderstanding. I did like Danny a lot before the incident backstage and I wondered if maybe all of those feelings really didn't go away.
I was so lost in my thoughts that I didn't notice a guy come up to the table. Danny nudged me in the side to get my attention and I jumped, slightly startled and looked up. The guy was standing there smiling widely at me and I smiled back shyly.
"Hey I was wondering if you wanted to dance." He said staring at me with his dark green eyes. The light seemed to twinkle in them and I found myself beginning to get lost in them. They were such captivating eyes.
"Uh, yeah I'd love to." I said standing up and reaching out for his hand that he had offered me. I shot Danny a look as he pulled me along behind him out to the dance floor. Danny didn't look to happy as he watched us walk away, and that made me smirk.
The song changed once we got onto the floor and the guy pulled me close to him and started grinding his hips against mine. I was taken aback for a moment, but quickly fell into rhythm with him. He stared at me and my eyes made contact with his green ones again. He smiled and spoke.
"My names Jon." He said smoothly.
"I'm Tonya." I replied blushing a bit. I looked away and we danced for a while. He had his hands draped around my waist as he danced. I had my arms wrapped lightly around his neck and I rubbed my thumbs over the base of his head. He had his head shaved, and the look suited him. It made him look quite mysterious.
I was enjoying dancing with Jon. We talked a bit and I laughed and flirted with him. I shot a look at Danny who was watching us dance with a scowl on his face. A few moments later the girl from earlier came up to him and sat down beside him, very closely. I felt my eyebrows narrow, but I just looked back at Jon. He said something that made me a laugh again a little bit later and I looked over to see the girl with her hand rested on Danny's arm. They looked to be in a conversation and Danny was smiling at something the girl was saying.
I turned around so that my back was against Jon's chest and continued dancing. Everything was going fine until I felt Jon's hand run itself up and over my stomach. I tensed a bit, but just shrugged it off. However I couldn't shrug it off anymore when I felt his hand run down my stomach and to the waistline of my skirt.
My heart began pounding and my breathing increased. I felt this tingling feeling go throughout my body when he did this. The next thing I felt was Jon's lips on my neck. Even though the guy was cute, he was beginning to move a little too fast. I only met the guy and I barely knew anything about him. I wasn't about to start making out with him on the dance floor.
He found a spot he liked and began sucking on my neck. I tried to move away, but he just pulled me closer to him. Then I felt him dip his hands in to my skirt slightly. My eyes widened when he did this and I tired again to push him away, but he brought his other arm up and grabbed a hold of my waist. Slowly his hand began to move down and I began to panic. I didn't want him doing this to me, not on the dance floor and when I barely knew him.
I opened my mouth to say something but he just spun me around and crashed his lips onto mine. I brought my hands up to push him away but he pulled me so close to him that that was hard. His hand was still in my skirt and now it had begun to finger my panty line.
I wanted out of there and I wanted out of there fast. But nothing I was doing was getting me out of there. He was a bit stronger than me and I couldn't push him away. My body began to get hot and my pulse quickened. I was now on the verge of really panicking. I felt his tongue rub across my lip, but I refused him entrance. However, he bit my lip slightly causing me to open my mouth giving him the chance to thrust his tongue in.
Before I had a chance to react, I felt a hand on my shoulder pulling me away. For a split second I was startled, but thankful for whomever it was pulling me away. I looked up and saw Danny standing there. He had a dark look in his eyes. It scared me a bit, but he just turned to look at the guy. Once the guy saw the look, he put his hands up and backed away. Danny turned back to me and grabbed me around the waist.
"Are you ok?" He asked, and I nodded, not being able to find my voice.
"Yeah, yeah I think so." I gasped out leaning against him a bit for support.
"I saw that guy all over you, and I could tell you didn't want him to be. I watched you try to push him away, but he just pulled you closer." He reached up and brushed a strand of hair out of my face and looked into my eyes.
I got lost a moment in his blue eyes. He looked so concerned and worried for me. "Thank you Danny." I said smiling lightly at him. "I didn't want him to do that, but he wouldn't let me go. If you wouldn't have come, it's hard to tell what he would have done." I felt some tears begin to form in my eyes, and he must have seen them because he pulled me close to him.
We stood in the middle of the dance floor like that for a little bit. I held on tightly to Danny and he kept his arms wrapped protectively around me. A few minutes later I looked back up to see Danny smile down at me.
"So, uh, since we're out here, do you want to dance?" He asked blushing slightly.
"What about that girl?" I asked confused.
"What girl?"
"The one I saw you talking to at the table." I looked over at the table we were setting at and didn't see anyone there.
"Oh her, she was nice, but I think she was after more than just dancing. And besides, I wasn't in the mood." I raised my eyebrows at him but just nodded my head.
"Well then, yeah, I guess I'll dance with you." I said wrapping my arms around his neck. He smiled widely and began moving in rhythm of the music.
A few songs later Danny was back to the old Danny. He and I were dancing a little 'Danny style' but not like he was dancing with the girl the last time. I found that Danny and I moved well together. Not once did we lose rhythm and it was almost as if our bodies were one dancing on the floor. That was the most fun I had had with Danny in a long time. We dance, talked and laughed. And if I'm not mistaken there was some flirting going on, between the both of us.
A slow song came on and I turned around to face Danny, looking up at him asking silently if he wanted to slow dance. He wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me close to him, smiling. Throughout the song we never broke eye contact. He had this content smile on his face and I felt so happy inside.
While we were dancing, something Dougie had said the other day ran through my head. "I've always felt that there was something more between you and Danny. You two just didn't seem to notice it." Everything clicked out there on the dance floor as I stared into his eyes. I did still like Danny. I have always liked Danny, but I was just too stubborn to admit it.
The question was; did Danny still really like me? Dougie said that he thought Danny never really quit liking me. Could Dougie be right? Dougie was a guy, and he knew how guys thought, so he'd have a pretty good idea of how Danny was thinking. And ever since that article Danny had been acting differently towards me. I felt myself becoming confused.
I ran my hands through Danny's curly hair as I tried to read the emotions I saw in his eyes. Not once had he broken eye contact. I felt him rub his hands lightly up and down my lower back. The music began to rise to its climax. I felt the need to do something, but I didn't know what to do. We danced back and forth. The people around us seemed to disappear as we were both thrown into our own world.
The temperature in the room was quite hot from all of the bodies. My cheeks felt red and flushed, but I don't think that had anything to do with the heat. I think it had more to do with the fact that Danny's head had now begun to move towards mine. Not once did he move his eyes from mine as his head moved closer and closer. I felt my stomach flip. Butterflies had flown in and were now going wild. Only a few centimeters separated our lips. I could feel his warm breath close to my face and I closed my eyes savoring the moment. I could hear my heart beating in my ears, and everything seemed to move into slow motion as Danny's lips finally touched mine. It was a soft, gentle kiss. He pulled me a little closer, if that was even possible now, and deepened the kiss. His kiss was nothing like Jon's kiss. It was soft and caring, not hungry and demanding. I tangled my hands in his hair as I felt his tongue rub across my bottom lip. This time I opened my mouth. His tongue slipped in and our kiss became more passionate.
My ears went deaf. I didn't know if the music was still playing or what. Everything else didn't matter at all now. As Danny and I kissed everything seemed to still. The moment was pure bliss. I knew now that what Dougie had said was right. There was something more between Danny and me, but now we both new.
If the kiss would have lasted forever, it would have ended too soon. Danny pulled away, gasping for breath, and I did the same. He leaned his forehead against mine. His eyes were still closed and so were mine. We were savoring the kiss, trying to commit it to memory. Neither of us wanted the moment to last, and we'd still be kissing if it weren't for us needing air.
Slowly, at the same time, we both opened our eyes. My dark orbs stared into his blue pools. He had a smile plastered on his face, and I could feel one begin to creep up on mine.
"That was," He whispered breathlessly, but I was able to hear him, "Amazing."
I felt my smile become wider as he said those words. I was thinking the exact same thing. I couldn't stop myself, I needed to feel his lips on mine again, and I reached up capturing his lips with mine once again. He let out a little moan when I did this and kissed me back.
The music began to end and we finally pulled apart. I stared at him, trying to read his emotions again and smiled at what I saw. He felt everything I felt, it was written on his face and in his eyes.
"I think…" I breathed out, "I need to sit down." He laughed slightly and led me over to our table. I sat down and he sat down close to me, facing me. We didn't say anything for a while, just stared at one another. It was almost like our thoughts were connected and that's how we were communicating with one another. He reached up and brushed a strand of hair out of my face and rested his hand on my cheek, running his thumb over my swollen lips.
"You look beautiful tonight." He said, and I smiled, blushing. He brought his hand down and grabbed my hand, brining it to his lips and placing a light kiss on it. The moment was perfect. Everything was perfect when I was staring into Danny's eyes. The feelings I got just from staring at him made me feel warm and comforted inside. I had feelings similar to this when I was with Dougie, but these feelings were more intense, stronger. We were interrupted by our thoughts when Eli and Harry came bounding over to the table with Gia and Tom right behind them.
"Hey we're getting ready to leave, are you guys coming?" Eli said pulling Harry's arms around her waist, not noticing the looks in mine and Danny's eyes. We snapped our heads up to look at them then looked back at one another. Danny raised his eyebrows, asking me if I was ready, and I nodded.
"Yeah, we're ready." He said standing up and pulling me up with him. "Where's Doug?" He asked looking around.
"Oh, he found him some bird that he quite liked and said he'd get a ride home later." Danny nodded his head and said "Right."
"Well, then I guess we can go now." Gia said wiggling her eyebrows at Tom. "I can't wait to get home." Tom grinned smugly and kissed her.
"Now who's the one who can't wait to get back?" Eli remarked smirking at Tom. He just smiled mischievously at her and headed for the door. Danny still had a hold of my hand and pulled me along behind him. No one seemed to notice this, and I smiled. I don't think I could take everyone's looks and questions right now. I was too happy to care what anyone thought, and I just wanted to savor every moment of the night. It had turned out to be one great night.
McFly
Danny and I rode with Tom and Gia because Harry and Eli didn't know if they wanted to go back right away. They said something about going for a drive, and left in Harry's car. We sat in back as Tom and Gia sat up front talking to one another. Neither paid any attention to us and we were fine with that. We sat close to one another, our fingers entwined and my head resting on Danny's shoulder. It was like that the whole way home.
Once we got to the apartment Gia took off upstairs with Tom chasing her. We heard her shriek and Tom's door slam shut, which caused us both to laugh lightly. Danny turned to me and wrapped his arms around me, hugging me lightly.
"So, what do you want to do?" He asked me quietly.
I suddenly began to feel a bit tired. I let out a big yawn and smiled up at Danny. "I feeling a little tired. I think I might go to bed." He smiled at me and kissed my forehead.
"That does sound like a good idea. I'm beginning to feel tired to." I pulled away from him and began to take off my shoes and threw them on the floor by the door. "So, if you want, you don't have to sleep on the couch tonight."
My heart skipped a beat and I looked at him raising an eyebrow. "Don't worry, we won't do anything, I promise." He looked serious but still had a smile on his face.
"I think I'd like that." I said after a few minutes. He smiled and grabbed me by the hand, leading me to his room.
I didn't have any clothes there, since we took all our stuff with us when Eli and Harry had the fight, so Danny gave me a pair of boxers and one of his shirts to wear. He left the room while I changed into the clothes, and came back a few minutes later dressed in boxers too.
As soon as he stepped in the door all of my breath left me. I'd seen him in just his boxers before, but this time it seemed so much different. I couldn't take my eyes off of his abs. He looked so hot standing there in nothing but the red boxers.
I heard him clear his throat and looked up to see him staring at me, an amused look on his face. "Like what you see?" He said playfully. I blushed at being caught and walked over to the bed, pulling the covers back. He walked to the other side of the bed and got in beside me. I figured everything would be awkward, but he just wrapped his arms around me and pulled me close to him. I enjoyed the feeling of my body pressed so closely to his.
"Tonya?" He said a little bit later. I had my head rested on his chest and my arms wrapped around him.
"Yeah." I replied. My eyes were closed and I inhaled his sent deeply.
"I have a confession." I opened my eyes and looked up at him. His hand was rubbing up and down my arm, and a small smile danced on his lips. "I remember seeing you that day. The day backstage, when you said I brushed you off." I narrowed my eyebrows. If he saw me, then maybe he really did mean to brush me off. That thought made me feel a little uneasy. "But I didn't notice you until afterwards. At the time you tried to talk to me, my mum had shown up, and I didn't really pay any attention to anyone. It wasn't until later, after the shock of my mum being there wore off that I actually noticed you. I saw you walking around with Eli, and you were angry. Even though you looked upset I thought you looked beautiful. I was about to go talk to you, but before I could you and Eli left. I was upset because I thought I'd never see you again, but then when we met you in Colorado, I knew right away that you were the same girl. I remember how beautiful you looked, and the way that that one piece of hair always fell in your eyes. I tried to talk to you, but you just brushed me off and that broke my heart. I know I've acted horrible to you the past year and a half, but that's because I was upset that you didn't feel the same about me." He looked slightly upset when he said this and that made me feel a little bad. "I don't know what came over me tonight; what made me kiss you. I got so upset when I saw that other guy hitting on you and then that's when it clicked to me. I couldn't watch you go out with another guy; I had to tell you how I felt. But when I pulled you away from him and the look you gave me while we were dancing, something told me I had to kiss you. So I did, and I was surprised by the reaction I got from you. I half expected you to push me away, and tell me I was stupid for ever thinking there could be anything between us, but you kissed me back." He stopped talking and stared at me. I looked back taking in everything he said. He just confessed to me that he did like me. I knew now exactly how he felt, and once again Dougie was right.
"I'm glad you kissed me Danny." I said, my voice sounded small, but strong. "I realized something tonight, something that's been bothering me for a long time." He narrowed his eyebrows in confusion. "I like you Danny. I've always liked you, but I was too stubborn to admit it." His eyes lit up with excitement as soon as I said this.
"I like you too Tonya. Actually, I feel stronger for you than that. Even though for the past year and a half we've done nothing but argue, I've come to realize that I love you Tonya. I love everything about you. The way you get mad when I tease you; the way your hair falls in your face; and even the way you stomp your foot in frustration. I love everything about you."
"Danny that's the sweetest thing anyone has ever said to me." I blushed burying my head in his chest. He grabbed my chin and raised my head up to look at him.
"But it's true Tonya. That is how I feel."
"I…" I paused a moment, trying to sort out how I felt. "I think…I think I feel the same Danny. When we were gone for those four days, and I didn't see you once, I felt so sad. I missed Dougie and the other two, but I missed you most. I was heartbroken at the thought of never being able to see you again." He smiled and hugged me close to him.
"Don't worry, that will never happen." That made me feel so much better. So many emotions were flowing through me right now. I felt happy, excited and even a little awkward too. I had just confessed my true feelings to Danny and he confessed his to me. I never thought I would say those things to him, but they felt so right. Everything that came out of my mouth felt so right. I looked back up at him and slowly my lips found his again. One of his hands rubbed my back lightly and the other one rested on my hip. I opened my mouth giving his tongue permission to enter for the second time that night as he rolled me over on my back. His hands ran up my sides and traced light patterns on my bare skin. I rubbed my hands over his back as his kisses ran down to my neck. I let out a slight moan as he kissed all over my neck.
Keeping true to his word, we didn't do anything that night. He knew I still wasn't ready to do anything like that, and beside we had just confessed how we felt. After a while of making out Danny snuggled close behind me and wrapped his arms around me. I settled back into the curve of his body and slowly my eyes began to drift shut.
"Tonya." He whispered.
"Hmm." I didn't open my eyes, but listened to what he was saying.
"I love you." A smile spread across my face and a couple seconds later I was asleep.
McFly
The sunlight flooded in through the windows and right on my face. Slowly I awoke, feeling very comfortable and warm. I noticed that my pillow didn't feel that much like a pillow and looked over to see an arm. As soon as the arm came into view, the rest of my senses woke up. Someone was snuggled closely to the back of me, their warm breath blowing softly on my neck and their arm draped across my stomach. Suddenly the events of the night before came flooding back to me and I smiled as I realized who was snuggled so closely. Trying to turn over carefully as so not to wake him, I saw Danny with his eyes closed and a slight smile on his lips. I laid on my side staring at him a few moments, just taking in the feeling of being there like that.
After a few minutes I heard Danny speak in his deep Bolton accent with his eyes still closed. "You should take a picture, it'll last longer." My mouth dropped open as he opened his eyes smiling widely at me.
"How long have you been awake?" I asked slightly embarrassed at being caught.
"Since just a few minutes before you woke up."
"So you were awake the whole time?"
"Yep. I just wanted to see if you would try to wake me up or not."
"Oh." I replied, and then hit him lightly on the chest as I realized something. "You were watching me sleep weren't you?"
He grinned, obviously being caught and nodded his head. Then he brought his arm up and brushed that same strand of hair out of my face that always fell in it and tucked it behind my ear. "You're beautiful when you sleep you know that?" I buried my face in the covers blushing. That caused Danny's smile to widen as he took his hand and lifted my chin back up. Then he leaned in and placed a light kiss on my lips. I kept my eyes closed savoring the kiss then opened them again to see Danny staring at me.
Just then the door opened and Tom stuck his head in. "Dude are you getting up sometime today?" His eyes widened when he saw us lying in bed together. A blush crept to his cheeks and he quickly shut the door mumbling "Sorry." I buried my face in the covers once more embarrassed. Danny pulled the covers away asking 'What's wrong?"
I sighed heavily then answered him. "They're probably going to think we did something last night."
"So?" Danny shrugged.
"It's too soon still." I replied not looking at him.
"Tonya they know me and they know you and they know I'd never make you do anything you weren't ready to do."
"I know, but still…" I was cut off by Danny placing his finger on my lips.
"Don't worry about it ok." I nodded my head slightly. Danny removed his finger and replaced it seconds later with his lips. I kissed him back as we snuggled closer together enjoying the feel of our bodies so close.
After a few minutes we broke apart trying to catch our breath. Danny propped himself up on his elbow as he stared down at me, running his finger lightly over my stomach.
"I better go get cleaned up so we can go downstairs."
"Yeah." I replied running my fingers through his hair. "You're looking pretty skanky and you smell." Danny's mouth dropped open in shock.
"Oh you'll pay for that one Chaney." He said before he started tickling me.
"No Danny No!" I screamed out giggling as he sat up and began tickling me harder.
McFly
As we walked into the kitchen, Eli looked up from reading the paper with Harry and raised her eyebrow. "Did you stay here last night?" She asked confused.
"Um yeah actually I did." I sat down at the table beside her with a glass of juice as Danny sat down beside me with a plate of food.
"So where did you sleep then? I noticed the couch wasn't made up." Tom must not have said anything. I shot him a quick look and he just shrugged his shoulders as if to say 'It wasn't any of my business.'
"Oh, I um stayed with Danny last night." My cheeks turned red and I felt four pairs of eyes on me and Danny. He however just stared at the sports section of the paper and continued chewing his food either not noticing or ignoring every ones wide eyed looks.
"In his bed?" I could tell she was really stunned. She shot a quick disapproving look at Danny.
"Uh…yes." I paused a moment as eyebrows rose. "Nothing happened ok." I saw something that looked like relief wash over her face quickly, but then she looked back at the paper.
"Oh well then that's good." Danny lightly squeezed my knee under the table and I glanced at him to see him smiling slightly. Just then Dougie came strolling through the kitchen door, a smirk plastered on his face. He stopped when we all looked up at him.
"So, just getting in?" Tom asked knowing the answer already.
"Yes actually I am." Dougie replied hopping up on the counter and grabbing a piece of toast.
"Wow, this morning keeps getting weirder and weirder." Gia commented and Tom, Eli and Harry agreed with her. I made eye contact with Dougie and smiled. He flicked his eyes to Danny then back to me and smiled. With those two smiles we each silently let each other know that it was alright what we did the night before.
"So what was her name mate?" Harry asked receiving him a kick from Eli under the table. He rubbed his shin and glared at her as she glared back then cast a quick glance at me.
Deciding that I'd let them all know it didn't bother me I chimed in. "Yeah, who was the lucky girl." I think Eli's mouth hit the table. "Was it that one girl…Shelby?"
"Uh no actually, her name is Ashalee Richardson." I gasped.
"What did you say?" Dougie looked at me confused.
"Uh, Ashalee Richardson."
"Oh my gosh, what did she look like?"
"Uh long dark curly hair, blue eyes, nice tan maybe about 5'7, very fit. She was at the club last night."
"She was?" I asked racking my brain for any chance I might have seen her and not recognized her.
"Yeah, where else would I have met her?" I just shrugged. I couldn't believe she was in Phoenix. "Anyways she's coming over in about an hour. She's bringing her brother, and then we're going over to her sister's place to take her out for her birthday."
"Wait, she's coming here…in an hour?"
"Yes, why, do you know her or something?" I jumped up from the table startling the others.
"Oh my gosh, I need to go get ready. I can't believe she's coming here." I mumbled as I rushed out of the room, leaving six very confused people behind me.
McFly
Almost an hour later I had showered and was sitting in Danny's room brushing my hair wearing some clothes I had borrowed from Gia. Danny came walking in and sat down beside me on the bed, kissing me on the cheek.
"So why'd you run off at breakfast? Do you know this Ashalee girl?"
"You could say that." I gathered all of my hair together and pulled it into a ponytail.
"Well how do you know her?"
I turned to him. "Do you know what Asha stands for?" He looked at me confused.
"What does…" he began, but I cut him off.
"Asha's short for Ashalee." He still looked confused a minute, but then it dawned on him what I was saying just as the doorbell rang downstairs.
"That's her!" I exclaimed standing up quickly and walking out of the room, Danny close behind me.
I stopped at the top of the stairs and looked down. Standing in the entrance way was Dougie and two other people. There was a tall black guy around twenty four and a younger white girl with long dark curly hair. My breath caught in my throat at the sight of them. They looked so much older now. I felt Danny come up beside me and place his arm around my shoulder giving it a little squeeze. I watched Asha introduce her brother to Dougie, and then almost as if sensing my presence in the room they both looked up. When she saw me, Asha's eyes widened and she let out a squeal. I squealed too and started down the stairs towards her as she started towards me. Dougie just looked confused and Danny walked down the stairs behind me laughing lightly and shaking his head. Our squealing brought the rest of the occupants out of the living room and into the entrance.
"What's going on in here?" Tom asked confused at the sight of me and Asha hugging at the bottom of the stairs.
"Everybody," I said breaking my hug from Asha and wrapping my arm around the boy. "I would like you to meet my brother and sister."
McFly
"Brother and sister?" Dougie asked confused.
"Yeah Dougie, what do you think Asha stands for?" He thought a moment and then it dawned on him.
"Anyways, this is my older foster brother Jason Marcum and my foster sister Ashalee 'Asha' Richardson." Asha and Jason smiled politely and said hello. "Asha, Jason, these are my friends." I started at one end of the semi-circle that had formed around us and began introducing people. "This is my best friend and roommate Eli and her fiancé Harry. Next to them are Tom and his fiancé Gia." They all smiled and waved saying polite hellos. "Next is Dougie, but obviously you know him." I shot her a mischievous smile. "And this is Danny, my uh…" What was Danny? We just let each other know how we felt last night and he hasn't asked me to be his girlfriend or even out on a date yet.
"I'm her boyfriend." Danny said sticking his hand out to shake Jason's and then Asha's hand. Dougie shot me a confused look but I just smiled widely at him. He nodded his head in approval then looked back to Asha and the others.
"It's nice to meet you both finally." Eli said coming forward to shake their hands. "Tonya has told me quite a bit about you and you childhood days."
"Really, well I hope she hasn't said anything too bad." Asha said causing the group to start laughing.
"Oh, no don't worry it was all good."
"So Dougie said you were coming to get me to take me out for my birthday?" I shot them both a confused look.
"Wait a minute, today's your birthday?" Danny interrupted.
"Uh yeah it is." I answered.
"Oh my gosh Tonya, today is August 19th?" Eli pulled out her cell phone and checked the date. "I can't believe I forgot your birthday." Eli exclaimed. "You must think I'm horrible."
"Yeah you must think we're all horrible because we all forgot your birthday." Dougie interjected.
"No, I don't think you're horrible." I said quickly. "Although I don't mind doing things on my birthday, I just don't like to make a big deal about it. I mean it just doesn't bring back a whole lot of good memories." Everyone was silent; they didn't know what to say.
"Well we're still sorry we forgot your birthday." Danny said placing his arm around me.
"It's ok."
"Well we were going to take Tonya out for lunch and a movie, but if you all want to come that would be cool too." Asha offered, breaking the uncomfortable silence that had enveloped the room. The group exchanged looks then nodded.
"Just let us go get our stuff and we'll be on our way." Eli and Gia headed upstairs to get their bags followed by Harry and Tom. Dougie walked Asha and Jason into the living room and Danny went to follow but I placed my hand on his arm and he hung back.
"Boyfriend?" I looked up at him, questioning him with my eyes. He just smiled, turning slightly red.
"Uh yeah I didn't know what else to say. We're kind of in a middle place right now, but I hope that maybe it could evolve into more." His look was so hopeful and it made me smile.
"Well we haven't even gone on a date yet."
He wrapped his arms around me and pulled me close. "I know, that's why I was thinking maybe we could go out tonight."
"Is Danny Jones asking me out on a date?" Danny let out a little laugh and rolled his eyes. "My my, I thought I'd never see the day."
"So is that a yes then?"
I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him close. "Of course." Then I kissed him on the tip of the nose and pulled away smiling, taking his hand and walking into the living room to wait on the rest of the group.
McFly
We decided to go back to the same restaurant we went to the day the guys arrived since they had such great luck at not being noticed before. Our group of nine was quickly seated and I was sat between Danny and my brother. Not soon after we were seated our waitress came bouncing up to the table and greeted us enthusiastically.
"Well if it isn't the English boys." It was the same waitress we had before; Katrina. "I must be doing something right if you're setting in my section again." We laughed lightly as she shot Danny a quick smile. I noticed the exchanged and frowned slightly. "So what can I get ya today?" We gave her our orders and she too them down then headed off to get our drinks giving Danny a flirtatious smile before she left. I huffed and rolled my eyes. Danny just looked at me and shrugged.
A few minutes later Katrina arrived with our drinks. As she walked behind us setting our drinks down, Danny reached over and placed his hand in between my legs on the inside of my thigh. I looped my arm around his slightly possessively and smiled over at him. Katrina saw this but tried to look like she didn't care. She smiled weakly at the table then left, saying our food would be out in a bit.
"So when did you move to Phoenix?" I asked Jason and Asha after Katrina walked away.
"Actually we moved in just a couple of days ago. I'm staying with Jason until fall quarter starts up and then I'm moving to London to do study abroad."
"Oh, London, the boys are from over in that area."
"Uh yeah I know that. I'm kind of a fan of their music." Her cheeks turned slightly red.
"Kind of a fan?" Jason asked, "I do believe it was the McFly cd that we listened to all the way from Flagstaff." We laughed as Asha turned a brighter shade of red and kicked Jason under the table.
"Anyways," Asha tried changing the subject quickly. "We would have invited you out lst night, but we wanted to surprise you today and the only reason we went out last night was because our neighbors wanted us to go."
"Oh, Jason you were there too?" I asked confused, man I must have been totally oblivious last night.
"Yeah, but I didn't stay there long."
"That's because he went home with Becca." Asha chimed in smugly.
"Ooh, who's Becca?" I asked bumping slightly into his arm.
"She's just this girl." It was now Jasons turn to blush.
"No she's not just a girl, she's our neighbor who seems to have taken a very big interest in our dear brother." Asha's smile got wider as Jason's blush deepened. She was enjoying getting Jason back.
"Aw, my big brother is getting himself a girl." I teased.
"Well I only just met her so I don't know where exactly we are going yet."
"But do you like her?"
"Yeah," he said thoughtfully, "I do."
"And I can tell she really likes him." Asha and I exchanged looks with one another as Jason stared off in thought with a small smile dancing on his lips.
A little bit later our food arrived causing our table to once again become quieter. I looked over at what all Danny had ordered and raised my eyebrows.
"What?" He asked innocently.
"You just ate a little over an hour ago."
"Yeah I know," He said picking up his fork. "But I'm a growing man." Those at the table who were paying attention to us let out little laughs. I shook my head at him and laughed lightly too.
After we finished eating Katrina cleared our plates and asked if we needed anything else. We told her we didn't and she left with a polite smile. A few minutes after she left, Danny excused himself.
"Where are you going?" I frowned up at him.
"Bathroom." He said before bending over and giving me a quick kiss on the lips. A few minutes later Danny returned with a huge grin on his face.
"I hope you washed your hands." I smirked.
"Sure did." He replied placing his hand back to where he had it before and I wrapped my arms back around his arm.
We chatted a few minutes about nothing too important and joked with one another a bit, then all of a sudden there was a loud uproar. I listened closely and realized that the people were singing. I noticed the rest of the group looking behind me smiling and the words of what the people were singing became clear to me.
I snapped my head around quickly and saw Katrina and the rest of the employees in the restaurant standing there smiling, singing 'Happy Birthday.'
I think my face turned as red as the shirt Tom was wearing. Katrina motioned for me to stand up, and because of Danny I did. I was so embarrassed when the rest of the people at my table chimed in singing too. I shot a look at Danny who was singing along with the rest of the group and he just smiled widely at me. I gave him a slight glare which caused him to burst out laughing.
When they finished singing the whole restaurant began clapping. I blushed even deeper realizing that everyone had been watching. Katrina handed me a small plate with a piece of hot fudge cake on it and said 'Happy Birthday' with a polite smile. I thanked the group and the all left wishing me another happy birthday.
When I sat down Danny leaned over and gave me a kiss on the cheek. The group was laughing at my embarrassed face and I shot them all a look.
"Danny Jones you're such a butt." I said slapping him lightly on the arm. He just smiled and wrapped his arm around me, pulling me close.
After the laughter died down, I grinned smugly at the table. "Ha ha, I get cake and you don't." The occupants at the table exchanged looks and two seconds later eight forks came zooming at me and right into my cake. I let out an utter of protest, but before I could do anything, they all had their forks in their mouths. I looked down at what was left of my cake and pouted. "Well at least you left me one bite." I said before scooping it up on my fork and placing it in my mouth before anyone could touch it.
McFly
After lunch we all went out to a movie. Asha and Jason insisted that they all pay for my ticket and popcorn and after much protesting I gave in. Lucky for us there weren't that many people in the movie. There were just us, a couple making out in the corner, a group of about six teenage girls down front and a few other people scattered throughout the theatre. We sat in the middle two rows, Tom, Gia, Harry and Eli in back and the rest of us in front of them. We decided we didn't want to watch them make out the whole time, so we stuck them behind us.
"Keep it PG." I whispered to Eli over my shoulder receiving a shove in the back from her. I snuggled up closely to Danny as Asha snuggled closely to Dougie beside me. The theatre went dark as the movie came on and we all settled in to watch.
Halfway through the movie I looked behind me to find exactly what I thought I would find: two couples making out. I turned around and shot a look at Danny who just smirked. I let out a little laugh causing Asha to look over at me. I jerked my head in the direction of the couples behind us and she turned around, and then turned back around rolling her eyes. We turned our attention back to the screen, forgetting about the make-out session going on behind us.
A little while later I felt Danny's eyes on me and turned to see him gazing at me. I narrowed my eyebrows silently asking him 'What?' He didn't say anything; he just leaned down, placing his soft lips on mine. I Immediately began kissing him back, bringing my hand up to place it on his cheek. We shifted our positions slightly to make ourselves more comfortable. I pulled him a bit closer into a harder kiss, then I felt his tongue rub across my lower lip and I opened my mouth granting him access.
The movie was forgotten as we kissed. I brought my leg up and draped it across Danny's legs. His hand found my thigh right away. My arms wrapped themselves around his neck and my hands tangled in his hair. I loved his hair. I much preferred the curls to the straight look. It made him look older. As we were lost, exploring each others mouths, I heard a giggle behind us. Breaking the embrace I had with Danny we both looked back to see four people staring at us laughing.
"Keep it PG." Eli leaned forward and giggled at us. I blushed and shot her an evil look. The group busted out laughing at that, causing Asha, Dougie and Jason to turn around and look at us. I turned back around and looked back at Danny. Did that boy ever get embarrassed? He just had this goofy looking grin on his face which caused me to roll my eyes and look back at the screen. I heard him chuckle beside me and place his arm around my shoulder. I acted like I was annoyed and ignored him. However not long after, Danny's soft lips were calling mine again and I gave in to temptation.
McFly
Once the movie was finished and the lights came up we were close to the first people out the door. The couple that was making out in the corner were still making out and I nudged Eli in the arm as we passed them. "Talk about keeping it PG." She burst out laughing.
When the sunlight hit us from the windows in the lobby we all squinted our eyes because we had been in the dark for so long. I felt the sudden urge to go to the bathroom. You know when you have been sitting and drinking pop and stand up, you realize you have to pee. Well I was having one of those moments. So Eli, Gia, Asha and I left the boys in the lobby to go to the bathroom.
"Why do girls always have to go to the bathroom in groups?" Dougie asked when we walked away.
"For support." Jason answered causing the guys to burst out laughing. I shot them a look over my shoulder before I walked into the bathroom. There were only two stalls in the bathroom so I raced to the first one and Eli to the second, leaving Gia and Asha to check their hair in the mirror.
"So Asha, what do you think of our Dougs?" I heard Gia ask.
"Oh, he's really great. He's nice and funny and cute."
"All the good qualities in a guy." Gia cut in causing us all to laugh.
"I was afraid after last night he wouldn't call me or even talk to me. But when I woke up this morning I knew this wouldn't be just a one night stand."
"It never is a one night stand with Dougie." I said coming out of the stall smoothing my shirt down. "He doesn't go back with a girl or bring a girl home unless if he really liked her. He's quite the gentleman and very romantic." I took Gia's spot in front of the mirror as she moved into the stall.
"Yeah she's right. You might think he's quite the heartbreaker, but he gets his heart broken more thane he breaks them." She said before shutting the door.
"Yeah Asha, you got yourself a good guy there, trust me I know." I said turning to her and placing a hand on her shoulder. She looked slightly confused.
"How exactly do you know?" I was taken back a bit, but I just smiled.
"Well Dougie and I used to date, but now he's just like my best friend. Best guy friend that is." I added when Eli came out of the stall and shot me a look.
"Oh, there's nothing between you now right?" Asha asked.
I laughed a little. "No, no don't worry, our break up was mutual and we told each other that we'd be friends. We see each other more like brother and sister. Don't worry Asha, Dougie's free and I approve of you."
Now it was her turn to laugh. "Oh, so he needs your approval?"
"Uh yeah, I'm like the best friend. He so can't date someone I don't like." I joked.
"Well I guess I'm lucky you like me." She replied heading into the stall.
"Yeah you are." I shot her a wide smile and she shut the door rolling her eyes. I heard laughing coming from the other stall and looked up to see Eli laughing too.
Just then Asha threw the door open and stuck her head out, her face contorted into one of disgust. "Ew, you didn't do anything with him did you?" She asked causing the rest of us to burst out laughing harder.
"No honey don't worry, we didn't do anything." I assured her and she looked relieved.
'Good, because that would just be weird, me being with the same guy my sister was with. Ew, gross." The face she made at the thought of that made us laugh even harder than we already were as she closed the door.
McFly
When we walked out of the bathroom we all stopped and began to laugh silently. On the other side of the room were the guys, surrounded by the group of teenage girls that were in the movie. The girls were giggling and talking loudly at them. The guys were trying to act polite even though they looked slightly annoyed. Jason stood awkwardly outside the group and watched what was going on. When he saw us standing there laughing quietly he made his way over to us.
"We were just standing there, then we heard this loud shriek and looked up to see the group of girls rushing at us. I was knocked out of the way because I guess I'm just not cool enough for them." He stood beside us and watched the scene.
Danny looked up and saw us and gave me a small annoyed smile. However his attention was torn away quickly by some demanding blonde girl wanting his attention. He smiled politely with her and posed for a picture. I could tell that the smile he had on his face was a fake one, but it looked very convincing. Eli and I had learned to tell when the guys were putting on their 'media faces' and when they were actually happy. Danny's eyes always did this twinkling thing whenever he was giving a genuine smile, but whenever he wasn't happy or he was annoyed his eyes looked dull and uninterested. That's exactly how his eyes looked right now.
After the flash went off, the blonde girl bounced up and down excitedly then grabbed Danny's head and planted a big kiss on his cheek. He looked so shocked when she did this, and I couldn't help but burst out laughing. The rest of the group I was standing with must have seen it too because they also busted out laughing. Finally the girls, deciding they had gotten all they wanted out of the guys, left and we made our way over to them.
"Aw, it looks like Danny has a new girlfriend." I joked, which caused him to blush. Finally he gets embarrassed.
"Oh be quiet you." He said pulling me to him. "There's only one girl I want right now and it's not that teenie." He looked me in the eyes.
"Oh really, who would that be?" I faked confusion.
"You." He replied softly before leaning down and giving me a kiss on the lips.
"Man do you guys ever come up for air?" Eli joked behind us. I smiled against Danny's lips. "You say that Harry and I are all over each other all the time, I think you and Danny are beginning to set a record, and it's been what…not even a day?" I broke the kiss with Danny and turned around sticking my tongue out at her. She laughed and rolled her eyes then followed Harry out of the theatre.
