Thank you sooo much for the reviews, they mean the world to me…:D

Probably around three chapters left now, but I'm planning a sequel, so this might not be the end…Mohahaha, sorry, I'm just stupid today…

Chapter twelve: Dance silver moon's sparkling

Tom's pov

Me and the boys came back to the apartment around ten the next day preparing for the worst, but were pleasantly surprised. We didn't find a kicked down door and two very angry people but the direct opposite.

We walked into Danny's bedroom only to find them asleep on the bed, together. They were lying as close as possible, like they couldn't be close enough and had their arms wrapped around each other, Frankie resting her head on Danny's chest.

'Aww, young love' Doug said acting a lot older than he is.

'Yeah we did good boys' I agreed. 'We did good'

'So what do we do now?' Harry asked. 'I'm bored'

'Well, do you want to do something grown-up now? To continue down this path of righteousness'

'Like what?'

'Oh, I don't know. I could do with an ice-cream'

'Yeah me too' Doug agreed cheerfully and we quietly left the sleeping couple to get some ice-cream.

Danny's pov

I woke up the next morning and smiled as I realized that last nights events actually had taken place. I had told Frankie about my feelings and she felt the same way, and now she was lying in my arms. I felt my smile grow even bigger as she shuffled slightly in her sleep, nestling even closer to me and I wrapped my arms tighter around her.

'Are you awake?' I heard her mumble into my chest, her warm breath tickling my skin.

'Yes, did I wake you?'

'Kind of, but I don't mind' she said lifting her head a bit and locking into my eyes.

'Wow' I said stroking her cheek. 'You look beautiful'

'Thank you, so do you' she smiled easily while running her finger through my hair. 'You have no idea how long I've wanted to do that'

'You have no idea how long I've wanted to do this' I said and kissed her gently.

'Mmm, I like it'

'You do ha… well, there's more where that came from' I said and pulled her close again.

'Oh really' she smiled cheekily. 'I bet there is'

We stayed like that for a long time, just kissing and as I resurfaced for air for about the 15th time, my stomach made a growling sound.

'Great timing' I muttered into the kiss.

'That tickles' she giggled back. 'Come on lover-boy, let's make some breakfast' she said and stood up from the bed.

'Lover boy?'

'Yep, I thought it suited you'

'I suppose I could get use to it' I smiled as I grabbed her hand. God it felt good to hold her like this. This was even better than in my wildest imaginations, everything about her was just perfect.

'So, what do you want for breakfast' she asked as we got to the kitchen.

'Nothing'

'Nothing?'

'Yep, I'm cooking today, what do you want for breakfast?'

'You're cooking, interesting…Then I'd like pancakes please'

'Pancakes it is' I said as I opened the fridge. 'Ehm pancakes…those have like milk and eggs and that stuff in them right?'

'Eh, yeah'

'Ok, just checking. I said trying to show of a confident smile. 'Why don't you go and have a shower and I'll have breakfast ready when you get out'

'Are you sure? I can help you if you want to'

'Perfectly sure, now go on, let the master-chef work in peace'

'Fine, but come and get me if you set the place on fire'

'Haha, very funny' I pecked her lips quickly before ushering her out of the kitchen'

'I'm going, I'm going' she said laughing. 'I can't wait for breakfast'

Frankie's pov

As I stepped into the shower I couldn't stop the huge grin covering my face. I hadn't stopped smiling since I woke up this morning and right now it felt like I would never stop. I was just so happy I felt like shouting it to the world. It was an amazing feeling, and knowing that Danny felt the same way as me only made me happier.

I felt the warmth of the shower and started humming along to this song that had been stuck in my head for days. I hadn't been able to place it yet, I had it on the tip of my tongue but I just couldn't find the title of it.

I sang along to it as I washed my hair and then I realized which song it was that I was singing. I laughed at my own stupidity and stepped out of the shower putting on some clean clothes.

The world would be a lonely place

Without the one that puts a smile on your face

So hold me 'til the sun burns out

I won't be lonely when I'm down

I walked back into the kitchen singing the song and found Danny in front of the stove making pancakes that actually looked really good.

'So, you've got me to make you feel stronger then' he said with a smile as he turned around.

'Yep, you don't mind do you?'

'Nope, not really, now sit down my lady, your food is ready'

'Yay, I'm exited'

'You should be'

'Wow, these are really good' I said as I took a bite of the pancake he put in front of me.

'Humpf, I feel slightly insulted'

'You're the one who said you couldn't cook, not me'

'Right, well, obviously I can make pancakes'

'You sure can'

Danny joined me by the table and started to eat his own breakfast as well. We sat there talking for a while when Tom, Dougie and Harry walked through the door.

'Don't you guys even knock these days?' Danny asked as he noticed them.

'Not really' Tom answered as the other two nodded. 'We didn't see any point'

'You're finally up' Doug started. 'Now we can have some fun'

'What do you mean by finally?' I asked him.

'We were here this morning to check up on you guys, you know, just to make sure you were still alive and all'

'Oh, I'm not sure how I should feel about that'

'Feel good, we sure do'

'Haha, ok then, I feel good'

'I suppose we owe you guys a thank you' Danny said and placed his hand on mine. 'Who knows what would have happened it you hadn't done what you did'

'We know mate, official match-makers, that's us these days' Tom said proudly.

'Well, thank you anyway' I said and smiled at them.

'But Tom, if you knew that I liked Frankie and that she liked me, why didn't you say something? Danny asked.

'I promised to keep it quiet and I never break a promise. Plus, Frankie told me she'd hurt me if I did' he said with the last part barely audible.

'Haha, you let her scare you?' Danny chuckled.

'What, she can be scary when she wants to' Tom said trying to defend himself. 'Besides, none of the others said anything either'

'True' I said. 'But it all worked out for the best, lets just focus on that'

'Well spoken' Danny nodded and leaned in and kissed me full on the lips. 'Let's just focus on us'

'Eww, get a room or something' Doug said trying to fake disgust.

'Actually, this is my room and I can do what I want in here' He replied pulling me onto his lap 'Like this and this and this' he said between kissing me on my cheek.

I giggled before turning my head to the boys standing beside us 'You might want to take that as you cue boys'

'Fine, but we'll be back later and then I don't want to see any of this smooching-business' Harry said sternly.

'Yes Sir' we both said laughing at him as they exited the apartment.

'I could get used to this' Danny said holding me close.

'So could I'

'I've been thinking about something'

'Ok, what?' I said slightly confused.

'I know we're kind of together now, but we've still not dated or anything, so if you would to do me the honour, then I would like to take you out on our first official date'

'Really?' I squealed excitedly. 'I'd love that'

'Perfect, be ready at seven tonight for a night you'll never forget' Danny said and carefully set me down on the kitchen-tiles.

'Where are you going? I thought that you were off today'

'I am, but I've got stuff to do' he said giving me a quick peck. 'I'll see you at seven'

'Yeah, see you then' I said as I walked him to the door. 'Oh, wait, what do I wear?'

'Something nice'

'That specific...Hm' I said. 'I suppose I'll have to go shopping then' I said more to myself this time as Danny had already left.

Danny's pov

'Tom, should I wear a suit or not? I can't decide'

'Suit, always go with the suit, they make girls melt you know'

'Ok, melting is always good' I said back. I ran my fingers through my hair and adjusted my shirt one last time before leaving Toms bathroom. It was now half past six and I was getting more and more nervous by the second.

'Dude, why are you so nervous?' Tom asked as he came up behind me. 'Its only Frankie'

'I know, but I just want everything to be special for her'

'Don't worry, everything will be perfect. That's what you've got us for'

'Yeah I know, I know. I should get going now; I'll see you in a bit'

'Yep, go sweep her of her feet'

'I'll do my best'

I walked up to the door, to my own apartment and knocked on it. I wasn't really sure why, but how many times have I gone on a date with the person I live with?

A couple of seconds later I heard her on the other side and I took a step back when she opened the door. My eyes landed on her as she stood in the doorway and I couldn't help but stare at her. Everything about her, from her hair to her dress were perfect and I saw that small glistening in her eyes when she smiled that always made my heart melt.

'Wow, you look beautiful' I managed to get out.

'You don't look to bad either' she smiled as she gave me a hug.

'Are you ready for our date?' I asked and held out my hand'

She took it in hers before answering: 'I can't wait'

I drove her over to a nearby park and parked the car underneath a couple of trees. I opened the door for her and I couldn't help but smile at her confused look when all she saw was grass.

'If we're playing football, then I wished you'd have told me, because I really didn't bring the right shoes'

'Don't worry; we're not playing football, just come with me'

We walked along a small path until we reached a small gazebo, surrounded by all kinds of wild flowers. I could see her eyes grow bigger as she took in the scene in front of her and smiled as she squeezed my hand when we walked up the small steps.

We sat down by the table and I poured her some champagne from the bottle next to me.

'You did all this?' she asked and took a small sip from her drink.

'I had some help from three little helpers, but basically yes'

'It's amazing. I can't believe you did all this for me'

'I'm glad you like it, and I'm really glad that you are here tonight' I said as I reached over the table and placed my hand over hers.

'I wouldn't want to be anywhere else'

We started to eat our dinner and talked about everything while doing so. When we finished I gracefully raised my hand to signal to the others that we were done, and suddenly a song started playing.

'I'm not much of a dancer' I started, 'But, would you like to dance?'

'I'd love to' she answered and I helped her up.

'You know, I always thought that stuff like this only happens in movies' she said looking into my eyes. 'And if it ever happened to me, I'd probably think it was so cheesy and laugh my way through it. But being here, right now, with you, I can honestly say that I wouldn't want to be anywhere else than here with you'

'Kiss her already' I heard Harry yell from somewhere behind us.

'Dude!' I yelled back.

'Yeah' Frankie said with a smile. 'Kiss her already'

'Your wish is my command' I said and kissed her.

Frankie's pov

'Your wish is my command' I heard Danny say before he leaned in and pressed his lips on mine. That kiss was literally breathtaking and I felt my knees wanting to give in. Not wanting it to end, I pulled him closer and deepened the kiss even more.

After the date we drove back to the apartment and being the perfect gentleman that he is, he walked me to the door, but since we live together, he didn't stop there. He walked me to my bedroom door and gave me the sweetest goodnight-kiss before walking over to his own bedroom.

'Hey Danny' I said after him.' Would you like to come in for a come of coffee or something?'

'I'd love to' he said as he walked over to me again. 'So, is there any chance of something other than just coffee happening?'

'Hm, why don't you just come in and see'

'Don't mind if I do' he said and quickly followed me inside, picking my up in his arms as he did so.

---

I woke up the next morning with a smile on my face. Last night had been on of the best nights in my life and the fact that Danny was lying beside me only made the thought even sweeter.

I carefully poked him in the side to see if he was awake yet and got a small grunt as a response.

'Does that mean that you are awake?' I asked as I kissed him on his cheek.

'Now I am' he said as he tugged me closer and pulled the cover over the both of us.

'That sure woke you up'

'It is the best way to wake up'

I giggled at his response and we stayed under the covers for a while, before we ran out of air and had to escape them.

'Can I tell you something?' he asked looking at me.

'Sure, anything'

'I love you'

I heard him say those three small words even though it took me a while to actually process them. He loves me, wow, what do I say to that? I mean, of course I love him, don't I? I have loved him as a friend for months now, so this shouldn't be any different.

I opened my mouth to speak but no words came out. I looked into his eyes and I could see a small questioning look in them.

'I…I just…I'm sorry, but I cant, I'm just not ready yet' I finally said.

'Oh, well, that's ok' he said but I could see that he was hurt.

'I just need to do something first' I said as I got out of bed. 'Can I borrow your car?'

'Yeah sure, where are you going? Do you need me to come with you?'

'No thanks, it's just something I need to do myself'

'Oh I see' he answered now looking even more hurt than before.

'I'll see you this afternoon' I said as I walked towards the bedroom door'

'Em, sure, see you'

---

I left the apartment and jumped into Danny's car and quickly pulled put of the driveway. I drove until I reached the road leading to Brighton and started to relax a bit as I kept on going. I hated myself for just leaving him like that, but this was just something that I had to do.

About two hours later I reached the exit and drove into the city, not stopping until I reached my destination. I stepped out of the car and took a deep breath, it had been a long time since I last visited this place and all the memories came flooding back.

I walked along a small gravel path and stopped in front of the familiar black stone.

'Hi mom, it's been a while'

Danny's pov

After Frankie left I wandered aimlessly around the apartment for a while but soon got sick of it and walked over to Toms instead.

'Hey mate, what's up?' He asked as I stepped inside.

'Just a bit confused, that's all'

'About what? I thought you'd be with Frankie all day today'

'So did I, but after I told her I loved her she just freaked out and left, I just don't know what I did'

'Wait, you told her that you loved her?'

'Yep' I muttered.

'And she just left? Why?'

'I have no idea; she said she wasn't ready and that she had to do something'

'Hm, I wish I could help you but I haven't got a clue about what she could be doing'

I sank even deeper into the couch when something suddenly hit me.

'Wait, what day is it today?'

'It's Saturday'

'Not the day, what date is it?'

'The seventh, why do you ask?'

'God, now I know why she left. How could I forget something like that?'

'Like what? I'm totally confused her, enlighten me please'

'Today is the fifth anniversary of the day that her mother died'

'Oh'

'Yeah, oh'

'Do you know where she went then?'

'Yeah probably, but I don't know what to do with that information'

'You should go after her'

'Are you sure? I don't want to push her or anything'

'I'm sure. You need to go after her'

'Ok, but she took my car'

'Here' he said and handed me his keys. 'Take mine'

'Thanks mate, I owe you big-time for this'

'No worries'

----

I drove down the highway towards Brighton wondering if she'd still be there when I got there. She had about 40 minutes of a head-start on me, but if I knew her right I knew exactly where she'd be.

I pulled up in front of the cemetery and hoped that I'd remembered the name correctly. I asked a man who looked like he worked there if he could help me find a certain grave, and he pointed me in the right direction.

As I walked along the gravel path I looked at the stones surrounding me and was struck by the beauty of this place. Nearly every grave had fresh flowers by them and the entire cemetery was very peaceful.

I saw her in front of her mother's grave but stopped about 20 feet away, not wanting to disturb her.

Frankie's pov

I heard someone stepping on the gravel behind me, but didn't turn around. I was to busy talking to my mothers headstone. It might sound weird, but I had done it ever since she died, it was kind of my way to be close to her even tough she wasn't really there.

'I'm just confused. I am really happy, but I just couldn't say those words' I said trying to explain the entire situation. 'The way he makes me feel, is just indescribable, I have never been happier than when I am with him. And now…' I started but chocked on my own words.

'And now I'm worried that I've ruined the best thing that I've ever had'

I felt a single tear find its way down my cheek as I uttered those words.

'You haven't ruined anything' I heard a voice say behind me.

'Danny?!' I said as I turned around. 'What are you doing here?'

'I'm so sorry I forgot about this day' he began. 'I can't even imagine…'

'How did you find me?' I asked as he got closer.

'You told me about this place once, remember. I figured that you'd go here'

'I can't believe that you came after me'

'Of course I came after you' he said as he carefully wiped the tear from my cheek. 'I'd do anything for you'

I looked into his eyes as he said those words and was filled with a sense of calm. I knew that I could trust him.

'I love you'

'Are you sure? Because I'd totally understand if you're not, and I can wait and all'

'I've never been more sure about anything'

'Great, because I really didn't want to wait' he said with a smile.

I smiled back before kissing him on the lips and wrapping my arms around him.

'Come with me' I said and grabbed his hand.

'Where too?'

'I've got something to show you' I said and walked over to my mother's grave again. Danny looked at me a bit puzzled before understanding and standing with me.

'Danny, this is my mother. Mom, this is Danny, the one I told you about'

'Nice to meet you, Mrs. Gordon, you have a really nice daughter here' he said and I smiled at him squeezing his hand lightly.

'I think she likes me' he whispered which made me laugh.

'I think she does'
