Chapter 3- Letting out the feelings
Dan, who wasn't usually shy took a deep breath and went bright pink. "Zoe, every time I look at you, you make my heart beat faster and make me clear my mind off everything. When I talk to you I always have a nervous feeling and then a warm, great feeling. All I think about is you. You're beautiful, smart and amazing. I think Zoe… Zoe I think I love you." Her eyes were welling up and a tear fell down her cheek.
"Oh Dan, I feel the same way about you too" she said with more tears running down her cheeks. Dan pulled her into a hug and they both looked into each other's eyes. Slowly they moved in and shared a kiss.
Tom and Aniesha walked down the stairs and caught them. Both their mouths dropped and then they just looked at each other and then looked at them. Zoe and Dan realised they were there and they both shot right up. "So finally Romeo and Juliet have shared their feelings" Aniesha said.
"Awe" Tom added making kissing noises.
"Come on, let's get some tea" Dan said throwing a pillow at Tom. They all agreed and followed on.
Afterwards, they followed Tom to his room. It was a quite big with a bed, computer, desk, book shelf and game shelf (most of them blade quest) and a few bits dotted about. "Hey guys, do you want to see my full collection of blade quest stuff?" Tom asked.
"Tom, I already saw your full collection" Aniesha replied.
"But Dan and Zoe haven't" He whinged pulling a face.
"Oh we'll look at them another time?"Dan said. "What games have you got apart from blade quest?" Tom showed him all his non- blade quest games which wasn't that many. Dan and Tom finally agreed on one and started playing it.
Aniesha and Zoe was on the bed and Aniesha tried to speak but she just replied with 'huh' or 'yes' or 'nah'. It was obvious she was thinking about Dan.
"Zoe? Hello Zoe? Earth calling Zo are you in there?" Aniesha shouted quietly. She finally woke up from her daydream.
"Sorry!" Zoe shouted quietly back.
"It's okay I know you were daydreaming about Dan."
"Really? How do you know that?"
"For one I'm a spy and two you were staring at Dan all the time!"
"Oh well I can tell who you fancy" Zoe whispered a name in her ear. Suddenly, she went bright pink. "I do not!" Aniesha said punching Zoe's arm. They both started laughing. Loudly.
"Hey if you don't mind I'm trying to beat Dan!" he said looking annoyed. Then he looked at Aniesha who put her arms up in defence. He then went back to his game. He knew the name that Zoe had told Aniesha. Tom had a big crush on Aniesha but was too embarrassed to share his feelings with her. He quickly cleared his mind of the thought and went back into full concentration.
Dan was victorious after two and a half hours of the game. "Finally stopped playing?" Aniesha said looked bored.
"Yeah, come on Dan let's play another game" he said directing his head to his pile of xbox games.
"Nah I'm bored of playing computer games, let's play some footy instead" Dan suggested.
"Dan, I can't play football and anyway I don't even have a ball" Tom pointed out.
"Well luckily I have a ball! It's easy I'll teach you" Dan replied and he got his ball out of his bag and headed out the door. Tom sighed and they all followed.
Tom was hopeless; every time he attepted to kick the ball he missed or kicked it the wrong way. Aniesha and Zoe were sitting on the garden step. Zoe loved the way Dan was great at football. She admired his skill and his toned muscles (he showed them off every time he scored a goal). When he had scored the tenth she ran up to him and gave him a big long hug. Tom was just sat on the ground, exhausted from all the running Dan had made him do and all the time he had tried and failed kicking a ball right. Aniesha thought it was kinda cute how he always failed at kicking the ball. "Wait, what I just thought?!" She asked herself. Did she really fancy tom? "No? I can't do, I mean we're just friends" she thought. This thought was quickly put out of head when she heard a yelp.
It was Tom. When he had attepted to kick the ball he had slipped but this time twisting his ankle. "Tom are you alright?" Zoe asked, concerned. Aniesha ran over to see if he was alright. He didn't reply for a few seconds but then he replied with "I'm okay I probably just twisted my ankle" he mumbled.
"Are you sure you're okay? Sorry for making you train for footy" Dan apologised.
"It's okay and I'll be fine don't worry" Tom reassured. Dan and Aniesha helped him get back into the house.
Afterwards, they got into their pyjamas and Aniesha switched on the telly. "Right who's up for some scary movies?" Aniesha said spookily.
"Scary movie? I've never seen one" Zoe stated.
"Oh they're great fun! After the scary bit I just can't help laughing" Aniesha laughed.
"Well okay then. Do you want to watch a scary movie, Tom and Dan?"
"I love scary movies!" Tom exclaimed.
"Yeah okay" Dan said and with that he slotted the dvd into the player and waited for the title screen to come on.
Tom and Aniesha found it quite scary, Dan just found it funny and Zoe was just plain confused. "Why didn't she just use the pen to stab the murderer? Then she would have escaped and she'd be fine?" Zoe asked.
"People make it like this so when the 'victims' miss something that could help them it makes it scarier" Dan explained. Suddenly, a scary image appeared on the screen which made Zoe jump and grab Dan's hand. Tom did this to Aniesha as well. "Umm Tom you can let go off my hand now" Aniesha mentioned.
"Oh um sorry Aniesha" he said blushing. They both felt really awquard and didn't speak for the rest of the film. When the film had ended they all decided to sleep even though it was only midnight. Aniesha, Dan and Zoe set up their sleeping bags and slowly fell asleep.
Zoe woke up a bit later. She had just had a nightmare about her time being locked up in SKUL. She got up to get a drink and realised that Dan wasn't in his sleeping bag. She then found him in the kitchen. "Hey Dan" she said pulling him into a hug. "I just had a terrible nightmare!" She added. Dan could see the fright in her eyes.
"It's okay Zoe" Dan sympathized.
"Dan, this might seem strange but will you sleep with me tonight?" Zoe said quietly.
"Okay. Anything for you babe" Dan exclaimed and planted a soft kiss on her lips. They walked back to Tom's room, put they're sleeping bags together, got a blanket and both slid under it. Zoe placed her head on Dan's chest. "Every thing will be alright won't it?" Zoe asked.
"Yes, I won't let anyone take you away again" Dan replied and kissed her forehead. She slowly fell asleep followed by Dan and they were tangled in each other.
Everything seemed fine that night but things were about to change…
