Date with Danny
Chapter 9
After the movie, Eli and I returned back to our apartment as the guys and Asha and Jason went to their respective apartments. Eli had come back to gather up her stuff so she could go back over to Harry's and I came back to get ready for my date with Danny.
My date with Danny. Wow, I never thought that it would be possible. Of course I never thought I would find myself wrapped tightly in his arms while in his bed either, but this weekend was full of surprises. I know it had only been a day, but I felt so strongly for him. I mean, really I've had feelings for Danny for quite some time; they were just hidden from me.
I think I was walking around on cloud nine most of the day. Everything seemed so unreal. There was one point, when I got home, that I actually pinched myself to see if I was awake. The red mark left on my arm proved it all.
So I chose my outfit carefully for my date that night. Danny had said to dress semi-dressy. So I went to my closet and stared at it. I felt a bit of an Eli fit coming on when I had emptied all of my close out of my closet in search for the perfect outfit. Finally after trying on everything twice I settled on a red spaghetti strap shirt, and a knee length skirt that had ruffles at the bottom. I searched through my jewelry box (or what was left of it) for a pair of earrings and a necklace to match it. I found a necklace, but I couldn't find any earrings. I groaned to myself and made my way out of my room and into Eli's.
"Why don't you two ever stay here?" I asked going into her room and heading straight for her jewelry box.
"I don't know, everybody gathers at their house, so we just gather there too." She looked up from packing her suitcase. "What are you doing?"
"I need a pair of earrings to match my outfit." I said picking up a pair of dangly earrings and turning to her. She wrinkled her nose and I placed the earrings back in the jewelry box, searching for another pair.
"So, you and Danny; this is all kind of sudden isn't it." She closed the lid on her suitcase and came around to set on the end of her bed and looked at me.
I sighed and turned around to look at her. She had a small smile on her face and I smiled lightly at her. "Yeah, I guess it is, but…" I trailed off.
"But what?" She questioned looking at me expectantly.
"But I feel a connection to him." I came over to sit beside her on the bed. "I know that we haven't gotten along in the past, but all of that was because of a misunderstanding Eli."
Eli narrowed her eyebrows at me, looking confused. "Misunderstanding?"
"Yeah, you remember that night we went backstage after the guys concert in Phoenix?" Eli nodded her head and went on. "Remember when I went up to Danny to talk to him and he just ignored me."
"Oh yeah I remember that night. You were so pissed at him. You called him every name you could and swore you'd always see him as a jerk. Heh, I guess that's changed." I rolled my eyes at her and went on.
"Well, the reason he ignored me that night was because his mom showed up at the same time I went to say hi to him and that's why he ran off." Eli's mouth shaped into the 'o' formation. "The whole reason I've hated Danny for the past year and a half was because of a misunderstanding."
"Wow Tonya, that really sucks. Life has a funny way of doing things for us doesn't it?" I nodded my head in agreement. "So what changed, why are you two together now?"
"Well the other night when we went out, this guy asked me to dance. I agreed, but while we were out on the dance floor, he started trying to do more than just dance, and I didn't want that. I tried to push him away, but the more I struggled, the harder he pulled me to him." Eli's eyes widened in shock, but I just went on. "Danny must have saw me struggling, because the next thing I knew I was torn from the guy, and a furious Danny stood there. He scared the guy away, then turned to me to make sure I was alright. After that we started dancing, and while I was out there on the dance floor with him it all clicked. Dougie had told me the day that you and Harry had your argument what really happened backstage, and I realized everything out there. I hated Danny because of a misunderstanding, but now, now that everything had been cleared up, my feelings for Danny had returned. Or, should I say, became known to me." That night came rushing back to me. I remember the look in Danny's eyes right before he kissed me, and I remember the tingle that ran from my head to my toes when our lips met. "Danny must have felt the same all along, because he's the one who kissed me that night."
Eli let out a squeal. "I knew it; I knew you two secretly wanted each other. There was no other explanation for it. You two wanted each other badly, but were too stubborn to admit it." She pounded her fist on the suitcase in excitement and I just rolled my eyes at her outburst.
"He confessed everything to me that night while we were in his bed. He told me how he saw me after I tried to approach him, and he was going to try to talk to me, but we left. He said he was afraid he'd never see me again, but then we met them on vacation. And when I turned him down, he was heartbroken, and acted mean to me because I didn't feel the same about him. When really, I did, I was just too stubborn to admit it." I paused a moment to take a breath, then went on. "He said that when the guy asked me to dance, he couldn't stand it anymore, he had to tell me how he felt. Then he saved me from being felt up by the guy and that's when it all fell into place." Eli had a huge smile plastered to her face as she listened to me tell my story. "I told him how I felt too, and things well, just went from there."
"Well I'm so happy for you both." She said giving me a hug.
"Thanks." I said hugging her back. Just then the doorbell rang and I jumped up. "Oh no, I'm not finished yet." I began to panic and walked over to the jewelry box. Eli stood up laughing and walked over to me and reached in the jewelry box pulling out a pair of earrings and handing them to me.
"Here, wear these, they go perfect with your outfit." I took them from her and smiled saying thanks. "You finish getting ready and I'll go let Danny in." I nodded and headed into my room to finish getting ready as she went to answer the door.
My pulse quickened and my palms began to get sweaty. I wiped them on my skirt in hopes of making all the sweat go away, but as soon as my eyes landed on Danny, all the sweat came back. As soon as I set foot in the room, Danny looked up almost as if sensing my presence. I stopped as our eyes locked and he looked me up and down. I did the same to him. He had on a pair of dark jeans and a red long sleeved shirt underneath a suit jacket. His hair was curly, since he didn't straighten it much anymore. He looked, in one word, hott. A smile crept its way to my mouth, as a matching one made its way to Danny's. I took a deep breath trying to calm my nerves and made my way over to him. Eli stood silently watching us with amusement. I walked up to where there was little space between us. He stared down at me as I stared into his deep blue eyes. Just looking into his eyes made me go weak in the knees.
"Hi." I said quietly, not taking my eyes from his.
"Hey." He said back just as quietly. "You look…gorgeous tonight." I blushed and said thank you. "Here," He said thrusting a light brown Teddy Bear at me. I smiled taking it from him. My smiled widened when I read its stomach. 'I Wuv You'.
"It's cute." I said looking at the bear and then back up at Danny. He just smiled then stuck his arm out for me.
"So, shall we go?" He questioned, raising a brow. I linked my arm through his and nodded my head. We turned and headed for the door.
"You two crazy kids have fun tonight you hear. Don't do anything I would do." I turned to look at her and she winked at me. I shook my head at her then followed Danny out the door.
McFly
I know why Danny said to dress semi-dressy. The restaurant he took me too was kind of a classy one. Not really classy, but it was one where you had to have reservations. Another perk of hanging out with famous people; they have ways of getting seats in restaurants that have waiting lists. I think I could get used to that.
As soon as we walked in the uptight guy standing behind the podium came out around it and shook Danny's hand like they were old time friends. Then he shot me a small smile and showed us to our seat. Danny pulled my chair out for me and I sat down. He was being quite a gentleman tonight. He opened my door for me, and pulled out my chair. This was a side to him that I hadn't seen before, but I liked it.
After we were seated, our waiter came to take our drink order and Danny ordered us some Champagne. I smiled at his taste, and looked at the menu. I finally decided on what I wanted and when the waiter came back we told him what we wanted and he left giving us a slight nod. Danny reached for my hand across the table and held it in his. Most of the night we were silent, just looking at one another; it was as if we could read each others thoughts, and there was no need for words. I stared into Danny's eyes as he ran his thumb lightly over the back of my hand. The things I saw when I looked into his eyes made me smile and blush. I could tell that he was smitten. A permanent smile had plastered itself to his face and his eyes were twinkling.
"I know I already said this, but you look beautiful tonight."
I blushed again and tucked my hair behind my ear. "Thank you." I said quietly. "You look very handsome yourself." It was now his turn to blush slightly.
"I'm really glad you agreed to come on a date with me tonight. And I know this might sound weird, but I'm glad that guy asked you to dance the other night."
I narrowed my eyebrows at him in confusion. "You are?"
"Yeah, because if he didn't, then I never would have gotten the nerve to tell you how I felt."
"Well, in that case, I'm glad he did too." Danny smiled then raised my hand to his lips and placed a soft kiss on it.
Just then the waiter brought our food and set it in front of us. I smiled one last time at Danny before I picked up my food and began to eat.
After dinner, the waiter came back to take our plates for us and asked us if we wanted any desert. Danny shook his head and said no, and the waiter wished us a good night then left. After he was gone Danny turned to look at me.
"I have other plans for desert." He said and I gave him a wary look. He just smiled and laughed then stood up reaching out for my hand. "Come on, and don't worry." He said as I placed my hand in his allowing him to help me up.
We walked out to the car and got in. Danny pulled out of the parking lot and headed up the road. A few minutes later we were on some road outside of the city up on a hill. He drove a bit, and by now it was dark enough that we needed to use our lights to see where we were going. I looked around trying to recognize our surroundings but it wasn't becoming noticeable to me.
"Where are we going?" I asked and he just smiled at me.
"You'll see." I stared at him a moment, my mouth lightly open, then shrugged my shoulders and looked back out my window.
A little while later he pulled off on some roadside pull off. "Stay right here, I'll be right back." He said then gave me a quick kiss on the cheek before he got out. He went behind the car and got something out, but it was dark and I couldn't tell what he was doing. Then he disappeared for a few moments. I waited for him to return, becoming worried as each minute passed by. Finally, when I was about to get out and go look for him, he came back to the car and opened my door offering me his hand. I unbuckled my seatbelt and got out. He led me back towards some bushes and covered my eyes before we entered them. I was kind of scared, not being able to see where I was going, but I trusted Danny. After walking a little bit, Danny finally uncovered my eyes.
The first thing I saw was the dark night sky littered with bright stars. Then I saw the lights down below from the city. Next I looked down on the ground in front of me to see a blanket and a picnic basket. I smiled when I saw all of this.
"Oh Danny, this is great."
"I was hoping you'd like it." He led me over to the blanket and sat down, patting the spot beside him. I sat down too and looked up at the sky.
"The sky is so beautiful whenever the city lights aren't getting in the way."
"Yeah it is." He agreed. I looked up at the sky admiring all of the stars as he did the same beside me.
"How did you find this place?" I asked him.
"Well Eli and Harry found this area the other night when they went out for a drive. Harry told me about it, and I came up here earlier today to find the perfect spot."
"Well this is such a beautiful place." I said looking around at the few trees that were around us, and then looked back out at the view.
"I have another surprise for you." He said, and I tore my gaze away from the stars to look at him. He reached for the lid on the basket and opened it, pulling out a small cake. "I know vanilla is your favorite, so I got this just for us." He took out two forks and handed one to me.
"Aw Danny that is so sweet." I said leaning in to give him a kiss on the lips. "You are so romantic you know that." This caused him to blush and he looked away. I smiled at him blushing then took a bite of the cake. It was delicious.
"I'm so glad you asked me on a date." I said a few bites later.
"Yeah, and I'm so glad you accepted." He said taking a bite of the cake.
"Well, I though, why not, I have nothing better to do, might as well go on a date." Danny's mouth dropped open and he looked at me stunned.
"Well," he said dipping his finger in the icing. "Be that way." He took his finger and wiped the icing on my nose.
"You didn't." I said shocked. He just grinned mischievously at me.
"Oh you'll pay for that one Jones." I said and grabbed a bit of the cake in my hand and shoved it in his face. This resulted in us having a 'shove the cake in the face' fight with the rest of the cake. A few minutes later I fell into Danny while shoving some cake in his face and he fell backwards with me on top of him. He had cake all over his face, and even a little in his hair. I'm sure I looked the same.
Neither of us moved from our position. We just stared at each other enjoying the moment. Then slowly I moved my face towards his. Instead of kissing him, I swooped down and licked some of the cake off his cheek. I chewed it up and swallowed it. "Mmm, I just love that cake." He laughed and leaned up to lick the icing off my nose.
"Yeah, it sure is good." I giggled and then we both fell silent again. Next thing I knew my lips were on his in yet another passionate kiss. I ran my tongue across his bottom lip and he opened his mouth allowing me entrance. I kissed him and he kissed me back. Then he flipped us over so he was on top and continued kissing me. I wrapped my hands around his neck and deepened the kiss, letting a small muffled moan escape. His hands found their way up under my shirt and rested on my bare stomach. I entwined my leg round his leg as he moved his kisses from my mouth down to my neck. He found a spot he liked and began to suck gently on it. I ran my fingers through his hair as another moan left my mouth. His kisses were amazing. I'd never felt anything like this, whenever I was with Danny. The effect he was having on me was unbelievable. He continued to focus his attention on that one spot on my neck and I felt him bite it lightly. I let out a light startled gasp, then smiled as I realized that he was marking me his. I would surely have a hickey tomorrow, and the thought of it made me smile.
After a little while he pulled away and smiled down at me. I managed to flip us both over, taking him by surprised and pressed my lips to his. My dominance startled him and he let out a moan as I worked my way down to his neck. I too found a spot I liked and focused all of my attention on it. I could tell he was enjoying this by his breathing. Then, I bit him lightly just has he had done me, marking him mine. I pulled away a few minutes later and looked down at him. He looked a bit flushed, but very pleased. I lay down beside him and snuggled closely to him, my arm wrapped around his chest.
"You're an amazing kisser." He said a few minutes later.
"Yeah, I know." I smirked. I felt him chuckle softly. "You are too."
"Yeah, I know." I smiled and looked up at the sky. Just then I saw a shooting star and closed my eyes, making a wish. I smiled once my wish was made and buried my head closer to Danny.
"What did you wish for?" I head Danny ask a few minutes later.
"That this night could last forever." I replied softly.
"Me too." He looked down at me and kissed me softly on the lips again, then turned his attention back up to the sky. We lay in that position for a little while, and then, about an hour later we decided to head back.
Danny walked me up to my door and I stopped and turned to him. "I had a really great time tonight Danny. It was amazing."
"Yeah, I did too." There was a silence again as we stared back at one another.
"So, do I get to go on another date with you?" I asked him, batting my eyelashes at him.
"Hm, I'll have to think about it." My mouth dropped open and I just stared at him. He smiled then pulled me to him giving me a long kiss.
"I'm going to take that as a yes." I said once we pulled apart. He smiled down at me and nodded his head. I turned and unlocked the door walking inside and turning towards him. "So, if you want, you don't have to go back to your apartment tonight. Eli's not home."
He looked at me and raised his eyebrows. "But um, we won't do anything though. I mean I just don't think I'm…well you know, ready for that yet." I looked down and he stepped towards me and grabbed my chin, making me look up at him.
"We don't have to do that until you're really ready." He said softly. My stomach flipped when he said this I smiled at him then open the door wider allowing him to enter. Then I shut the door behind him and locked it, leading him to my bedroom. I grabbed some clothes to change into then went into the bathroom to change. When I came back he was in his boxers, sitting in the bed waiting on me. I smiled at him, looking at his chest and abs again, and then went to the other side of the bed to join him. I turned the light off then climbed in, snuggling in close to him. He wrapped his arms round me and a few minutes later we both drifted off to sleep.
McFly
I woke up the next morning staring at the alarm clock. It took me a few minutes to focus on what I was looking at, then it all came clear to me. It was 9:30. I rarely ever woke up at 9:30 on days that I was off, but right now I was wide awake. I felt Danny shuffle in his sleep behind me and I rolled over to look at him. His mouth was slightly open and he breathed softly. His long dark eyelashes fell lightly against his cheek. He kind of looked like a baby when he slept. I smiled contently to myself and stared at him a bit longer. Finally I got up from the bed quietly and headed to the bathroom, leaving Danny to sleep.
I took a long hot shower, feeling the hot water flow down my body and I took a deep breath letting everything sink in. Everything was changing. Eli and Harry were getting married and in a few months she would be moving halfway across the world. They guys would be leaving in a few weeks, Danny going with them, and I would be alone. Asha's going to London for a study abroad thing and the only person I have left is Jason, but now he has Becca. My world was changing and even though I was feeling a little bummed about it, I was still happy with the way everything had turned out.
I sighed, shut off the water and stepped out, grabbing my towel to wrap it around me. The steam was thick in the bathroom, and I had to wipe off the mirror with another towel. I leaned over the sink to splash some cold water on my face, and then reached for a towel to dry my face and wrap my hair in it. I stood up and looked at myself in the mirror. A broad smile reached across my face when I saw my neck. Just as I though, there was a hickey there. I touched it lightly; remember just how it got there as a tingly feeling swept through my body. I wondered if Danny would have one too and figured that he probably did.
After getting dressed, blow drying my hair and finishing getting ready I made my way out of the bathroom and too my room. Danny was sprawled out in the bed lying on his stomach still asleep. I smiled to myself as I stood a moment watching him lay there and sleep. Everything just seemed so surreal. When I first found out about McFly I instantly fell in love with Danny. I thought he was the hottest man in the world. Now, him lying there in my bed just seemed something straight out of a dream. I never would have thought that two years later I would be dating the Danny Jones.
I quietly made my way over to the bed and sat on the edge of it, looking down at him. Placing my hand lightly on his shoulder, I shook him. "Hey sleepyhead, wake up." I waited a couple of seconds, but he didn't move so I shook him again, and still nothing. Narrowing my eyebrows, I tried to think of a way to get him up. Finally an idea came to my mind and I stood up carefully. Being very gentle so not to wake him, I climbed up on the bed and straddled him. He still didn't even move. It was like he was dead to the world when he slept. I smiled to myself as I bent over and kissed his back along his spine. I placed about five kisses down his back before he began to stir. His eyes fluttered open and he looked back to see who was kissing him. A smile crept to his face as he turned over underneath me, so that he was now facing me.
"It's about time you woke up." I said softly to him. I was still straddling him, and he placed both of his hands on my thighs.
"It was a great way to wake up though." My smile widened. He rolled his head over to look at the clock then looked back at me. "How long have you been up?" He asked rubbing his palms on my thighs.
"About forty five minutes. I don't normally get up early, but for some reason I just woke up this morning. So I took a shower and let you sleep a little longer."
"Well that was very nice of you."
"You looked like you were enjoying your sleep, so I just couldn't wake you."
"No, I meant that it was nice of you to take a shower. You really smelled." My mouth gaped open at him, and I moved to get off of him acting like I was hurt. He stopped me by grabbing me by the waist and pulling me back to him. "I was kidding." He laughed, and I looked down at him pouting. "Here, let me make it up to you." He said slyly as he pulled me down to kiss me. I placed my hand on the middle of his bare chest and leaned in close to him, throwing my hair over my shoulder. When I sat up, his eyes went to my neck and a wide grin broke out on his face.
"Well that did exactly as I hoped." He remarked, bringing his fingers up to run lightly over the mark on my neck. I blushed slightly and turned his head to the side to see a matching mark on his neck.
"Same here." I replied rubbing my fingers over his love bite. "So does this mean that we're official?" I asked, looking at him for an answer.
"I think it just might." I smiled once more before he pulled me in to him to give me another kiss.
A few minutes later I pulled away and climbed off of him, receiving a groan. "Where are you going, I was comfortable."
I laughed at his whiny tone and walked over to the other side of the room to pick up my shoes. "You need to get up and get ready. I want to go over to your house and meet up with Eli. She said something about wanting to go shopping today, and you know me, can't pass up the chance to shop."
I heard him chuckle from the bed, and then looked up to see him stumbling out of the bed searching for his pants. He found them lying on the floor by the bed and picked them up and put them on. Then he reached for his shirt and put that one on also. I felt some disappointment inside when he did that. I enjoyed looking at his bare chest.
A little while later we had made our way over to the guy's apartment. Danny opened the door and let me in then walked in behind me shutting it. He gave me a quick kiss on the cheek then headed upstairs to go change and get cleaned up. I made my way into the kitchen to find Eli and Tom sitting at the table, and Gia cooking something at the stove.
"Hey, what are you doing here?" Eli said looking up at me as I walked into the room. Tom and Gia both looked at me and said 'hey'.
"You said you wanted to go shopping today." I answered sitting down at the table.
"Oh yeah, you're right I did." Eli took a drink of her coffee. "Let me eat breakfast and get cleaned up and then we can go." I nodded and looked down at the paper.
Tom who was sitting on my right hand side looked over at me and did a double take. I saw an amused smile creep upon his face out of the corner of my eye. "So, did you and Danny have a nice time last night?" I looked over at him and he was trying hard to hide his smile.
"Uh, yeah I had a great time. Danny was quite the gentleman and very romantic." I narrowed my eyes at him. He seemed to have a really hard time hiding his smile as I spoke. "What's your problem?" I asked, and he burst out laughing. "What, what are you laughing about?"
"It sure looks like you two had a great time last night." I still looked at him confused as Eli and Gia turned to look at us, both also confused.
"What are you going on about?" I demanded, not liking the fact that he was laughing at me.
He pointed to my neck. "I guess that makes you official now then, doesn't it." It immediately dawned on me what he was saying and my hand flew to my neck.
"Oh that, yeah I guess we are." Gia came over towards me and Eli leaned across the table.
"Let me see Tonya." Eli said grabbing for my hand. I blushed deeply but let her pull my hand away. "Wow Tonya, that's a really good mark you got there." I felt my blush get deeper, if that was even possible.
"Yeah Tonya, Danny sure gave you a massive hickey." Gia agreed examining my neck.
"Gee, you guys act like you've never seen a hickey before." I mumbled wishing that they would all just move away from me.
"We've seen hickey's before, just not on you." Gia laughed as she returned to the stove to flip the bacon.
"I've had hickeys before." I protested.
"Yeah, but not from Danny." Eli winked at me.
"Oh be quiet you guys. It's just a hickey." I said looking down at the table.
"Yeah sure it is." Tom snickered.
Just then Harry walked into the kitchen rubbing his eyes. He had a grumpy look on his face. Clearly he had just woken up. "What are you lot going on about in here?" He grunted, giving Eli a kiss on the cheek and sitting down beside her at the table.
"Tonya's got a hickey." Eli laughed. That caused Harry to raise his eyebrows and search my neck for it.
"Wow Tonya that sure is a massive one." He laughed. I just rolled my eyes.
"It's just a hickey. Gosh, I swear you guys act like you're still teenagers."
"Well we're still young at heart. We're just not used to seeing you with love bites." Eli said standing up to get some bacon from Gia.
I rolled my eyes and looked back at the paper, ignoring the snickers from the group. A few minutes later Danny came bounding into the room, his hair still wet from his shower, and a fresh pair of clothes on. When he entered everyone looked up at him as they all saw the hickey on his neck. That caused them all to burst out laughing again and he just gave them all a look.
"What's so funny?" He asked cautiously as he sat down beside me.
"Oh nothing mate," Harry said slapping Danny on the back. "It just looks like you two had a really great time last night is all." That caused the group to laugh even harder and a wide grin broke out on Danny's face. He brought his hand up to rub over his neck where his hickey was.
"Yeah, it sure was a great night last night." He said, obviously not caring what the others thought. Then he shot me a quick wink. I couldn't believe he was acting like it didn't bother him that everyone was making such a bit deal about it. I mean come on, it was just a hickey.
McFly
If you would have told me a year ago that I would be dating Danny, I probably would have looked at you like you had two heads and kicked you or something. But now all of that's changed. I'm so happy that I'm with Danny and I couldn't care less who knew. When the girls at work found out I was dating Danny, they all about cried. Through watery eyes they told me they were happy for me. I didn't care that now I had broken thousands of hearts around the world. I was just focused on the fact that my heart felt whole now; and that was all that mattered.
Three weeks had flow by. The guys had just one week left, then they were off to the UK for another tour. Eli and Harry had spent every moment together, but that's not unusual. However what I thought was great was the fact that Dougie and Asha had been spending a lot of time together. I think Dougie found himself someone he really cared about. I knew those looks he was giving her; he had it bad. I managed to corner him one day while everyone was out. He was in his room getting ready for his date and I was on my way to the bathroom. His door was open and I saw him inside styling his hair, so I walked in and sat on his bed.
"Hey what's up?" He asked looking at me in his mirror.
"Not much, getting ready for your date with Asha tonight?"
"Yeah, it's the last one we get to go on for a while. She leaves in two days to go to school and then I'll only be able to see her about once every couple of weeks. The good thing is we're touring in the UK, the bad thing is we have conflicting schedules."
"Yeah, that sucks. But at least you two will be in the same country." I pouted looking down at my lap. He turned around giving me a sympathetic look and came over to sit by me on the bed.
"Oh Tonya don't worry, you'll be able to come and visit, and I'm sure Danny will want to come see you for Christmas." He put his arm around me and gave me a hug.
"It's not just that. Everyone is going away. Eli's moving over there in a few months so she can find a job and get set up before the wedding. Asha's going to school over there, and of course you guys live over there. I'm stuck here, by myself."
"Oh, I'm sorry Tonya. I know it sucks being so far away from your friends, but at least you'll have visits." He said trying to make me feel better, but it didn't really help much. I nodded my head and sighed.
"Well that's not why I came up here." I said turning to Dougie, trying to change the subject from something depressing to something a little happier.
"What's up?"
"Well I just came up to see how things are between you and Asha. It's only been a few weeks since you two met, but almost every time I see you I see her. You two seem to be getting really close." I nudged him lightly in the arm and he just grinned.
"Yeah I really like her Tonya, a lot. She's the nicest, funniest person I've met in a long time. The first time I talked to her I knew we hit it off right away. She likes the same music I like, the same foods I like, and, this is what makes her the coolest person ever, she shares my passion for reptiles." I laughed knowing that any girl that Dougie likes that liked reptiles as much as him was perfect for him.
"Yeah, I guess she would. When we were younger she begged Hattie to let her have a snake, but Hattie told her absolutely not." We both laughed.
After we both calmed down, Dougie spoke. "I really hope things work out between me and her. I really like her Tonya. She makes me feel happy each time I see her. When I wake up in the morning, the first thing I think about doing is calling her just to see what she's up to. Of course I do control myself sometimes and don't call her, but she's on my mind like constantly." I felt myself 'aw' inside at this. Dougie was such a romantic and the look he had on his face when he said this was so cute. "When we go out I know all the guys are staring at her, I mean how could they not, she's beautiful. It makes me feel so proud that she's on my arm, she's the greatest woman alive." Dougie had it bad, and I could tell.
"Aw Doug, that's the cutest thing I've ever heard." I cried giving him a hug. "Asha is a lucky girl to have you Doug. Any girl is a lucky girl to have you, but I'm glad that it's my sister that has your attention, because you both are good for each other." Dougie blushed a bit and said a quiet 'thank you.' "Well, I don't mean to cut this short," I said standing up. "But I was on my way to the bathroom when I saw your door open and thought I'd stop in, and now I really have to go." I did a little 'potty dance' which made Dougie laugh.
"Go, before you pee your pants." He said pointing to the door. I smiled at him and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek before I ran out of the room and down the hall to the bathroom.

It was now September which meant that Eli's wedding was only four months away. So far she was doing pretty well at getting things ready. She had the invitations picked out and ready to be sent. They had a church in mind and were able to get it (what did I tell you about famous people), and Eli had chosen the dresses she wanted us to wear in her wedding. I was her maid of honor and Gia, Eli's cousin Mary Beth and a girl Eli worked with were her brides' maids. Eli, Gia and I were at the shop that she had chosen to get her dresses from when I found out the exact color of the dresses she had chosen for us.
"PINK! Eli you have got to be kidding me. You chose pink for the color of our dresses? What's wrong with you? Don't you know I DO NOT like the color pink?" I exclaimed throwing my hands up in the air and pacing back and forth as I glared at Gia standing up on the stool in her dress.
"Aw, but pink so likes you Tonya." Eli said with fake sympathy in her voice, as she wrapped her arm around my shoulders and stopping me from pacing. "And besides Tonya, this is my wedding, and I like the color pink. Can't you just do this once, for me, your best friend?" She looked at me batting her eyelashes and sticking out her lip.
I glared at her a few minutes, and then slowly my glare went away as I sighed. "Fine, you're lucky you are my best friend though." I grumped. "But don't worry, I'll get you back. At my wedding you're wearing sea foam green."
Eli's eyes went big. "You wouldn't."
I grinned at her evilly. "Oh you just wait." She looked scared for a moment, then at the same time we both burst out laughing.
"Oh would you two straighten up and come take a look at me in my dress." Gia beckoned from the stool. She was trying to hide the smile on her face but failing miserably. Eli straightened up and walked over to her, eyeing her dress.
"Yes, I really like this dress. I'm so glad I went for it. The light pink really makes your dark hair stand out Gia and it'll do the same on Tonya too. And the way the dresses are cut really enhance your figure. You two are going to be so beautiful in those dresses. Maybe I should ditch the dresses and get something big and poofy that way you don't look prettier than me on my wedding day." She looked like she was seriously considering it for a moment.
"Don't worry Eli; you'll look even more beautiful than the both of us put together on your wedding day. You don't have anything to worry about." I assured her, wrapping my arm around her shoulder. "And besides, you get something big and poofy for us, and I'll give you a nice big bow on my wedding day." I shot her a look and she just rolled her eyes.
"Fine, we stay with these dresses, but take out the slits, I don't like them. Makes the dresses too sexy and that's not the look I'm going for." The lady who was doing adjustments to the dresses nodded her head and marked it down in her notebook. Then she turned to look at me, causing Eli to look at me too. "Right, Tonya go try on your dress, we need to make sure it fits right."
I grimaced then shot Eli a forced smile. "I'm just remembering that you're my best friend right now and I'd do anything for you in this world." She laughed and smacked me on the butt.
"Go now, before I drag you in there myself and put you in your dress."
"Fine mother, I'm going. Geesh." I rolled my eyes and walked into the changing room to change.
After getting the adjustments made on mine and Gia's dresses, it was Eli's turn to try on hers. When she walked out of the dressing room both Gia and my mouth dropped. She looked beautiful. The dress was quite long and white and it was spaghetti strapped. The hem of the dress waved up and down at the bottom until it got to the back where it spanned out into the train. There was a white sequened flower pattern at the bottom and across the top of it. Her veil was also white and hung down to her lower back.
"Harry's going to faint when he sees you." I said once she walked into the room.
"Yeah, we better have pillows on hand when she does walk into the room." Gia added causing Eli to blush.
"Do you guys like it?" She asked nervously.
"Like it? We love it babe." I said walking over to her and holding some of the material in between my fingers. "You have nothing to worry about, Gia and I won't even compare to how beautiful you are once you walk into the room." She beamed widely and turned to look at herself in the mirror.
"Yeah I think you two are right, Harry is so going to faint when he sees me." Gia and I burst out laughing when she said this and nodded our heads.

Eli and Harry had plans to go out that night, so after getting fitted for our dresses we dropped Gia back off at the guy's apartment and then headed over to our own apartment to drop some stuff off and for Eli to get ready to go out. As I unlocked the door, Eli checked the mail. Once we got inside I dropped my bags onto the couch and sat on it exhausted. Eli had me up at eight o'clock that morning and had me running all day shopping for stuff for the wedding. I had my head rested on the back of the couch when Eli came in sorting through the mail.
"Bills, bills, bills. Gee, I wonder if anyone knows how to send something other than bills anymore?" She said as she threw the bills on the stand. "Oh, wait, I guess so, here's a letter from my mom. No doubt to yell at me about something." She rolled her eyes and threw the letter down on the table with the rest of the bills. "Oh Tonya here's something for you." I grunted and she threw the letter at me. It hit me in the head and landed in my lap. I didn't move for a moment then slowly I opened my eyes. Eli had one of the bills open and was reading through it. A grimace appeared on her face as she read the bill further. "I don't understand why our electric bill is this high. We're practically never here, and before we leave I always make sure all of the lights are off. I mean even when we leave a room we turn the lights off. You haven't been secretly leaving lights on while I've been over at Harry's have you?" She asked me raising an eyebrow.
"Uh no, I've been with Danny about as much as you've been with Harry. I haven't really been here either."
She thought a moment then nodded her head deciding that I was right. "Well, I guess I'm going to have to call them about this." She said picking up the phone. I looked down at my lap at the envelope as she dialed. Once my eyes read who it was from they widened as big as two silver dollars. "What do you have there?" Eli questioned seeing my face. "Who's it from?"
"Uh no one." I replied standing up to head out of the room. She started to protest, but someone must have answered on the other line because I heard her talk to them. I ran to my room and shut the door. Then I walked over to my bed and sat down, looking at the envelope in my hands. I began to get very nervous inside. I had just applied for this less than a month ago; I didn't expect to hear back from them so soon. My stomach felt like it was contorting itself as the room felt like it got a few degrees hotter. I turned the envelope over to open it and saw the company name stamped on the back also: TM&J Studios, London, England.
