Chapter 6! So we now know how Dave feels about gee…and we have always known that gee loves Dave but, what are they gunna do about it????

10 am on Sunday morning.

"Look gingey! I make a fong!"

Oh joys unbounded! Libby has made a thong out of mums' knickers. She will be pleased. Especially as they are the ones she got from M&S. the POSH ones. Well that's what she says. I think they look like customised granny pants. but if that's what keeps her happy…

5 minutes later

Libby had put them on her head and was trying to scrabble up onto my bed. She looked quite sweet and helpless until I tried to help her and she bit my fingers.

"Ow! Libby! Don't bite!"

"Get off gingey……don't touch my fong…you lassie!"

2 minutes later

Well. So much for a good upbringing. Eventually she gave up and left my room. She was still wearing mums knickers and I couldn't wait to see the look on her face.

Actually. I think it would be safer for me to get dressed quickly and leave the house. Before mum realises that I haven't been 'looking after Libby' and keeping her out of trouble- and then she will dock my pocket money and I won't be able to afford Christmas prezzies. So to stop her from making the biggest mistake of her life- I will buy the prezzies now.

In town- Christmas shopping

Well. This is very boring. I am completely alone and it's very cold. I hate the weather around Christmas (but not when it's snowing of course.) and the carol singers sound like strangled chickens.

2 hours later

Well I have finished shopping and now I am going to get a nice hot drink. And because I am alone I can get whipped cream because there are no boys to see the moustache effect. Ha-ha! I might get some chocolate sprinkles as well. Yummmmmmm….

This has to be one of the best hot choccies ever! I have never been given so much cream and sprinkles ever! But then again I never drink hot chocolate alone and I can't have a moustache effect. But blow all that tosh! It's Christmas!

1 minute later

Yummy

Slurp!

Slurp!

Burp!

2 minutes later

I had just finished my hot choccie when Danny walked into luigis. I almost chocked on the biscuit I was eating and had a spaz attack! Oh my giddy god! What will he think of me when he sees me? Aahhhhh!

Maybe if I just sneak past him and walk very fast he won't know it was me.

2 minutes later

Well that plan failed. I was getting up from my chair and about to do a graceful exit when my coat got caught on the chair. I tried to get it undone but it started to rip. So I tugged the coat and then turned around. But the chair was still attached and when I turned it went flying into Danny!

He fell into a woman and her baby sitting at the table behind him, and the baby was sick all over his jacket.

2 minutes later

"Oh my gosh! Im sooo sorry! I...Umm. I didn't mean it. Oh oh umm."

He looked up at me and smiled. Which I thought was weird as e had just been sicked on by a baby. And hit in the stomach with a chair! Boys are strange…

"It's ok Georgia. Im alright. But could you give me a hand?"

I bent down and helped him up. He smiled again. (Wooooow!) Then he noticed the sick on his jacket.

"Urgg great. That's gunna smell nice isn't it?"

5 minutes later

I felt really bad for getting him covered in sick. So I went and got some paper towels to clear up the mess. When I came back from getting the towel, he was sitting at the table I had been sitting at.

"Thanks. Hey dya wanna join me for a bit. It's a bit lonely being in here on your own."

"Yer sure."

2 minutes later

He ordered a hot chocolate and I just sat there. I was glad I had had one before he came in. and when I wasn't looking I checked in the mirror for any signs of a moustache.

It was weird because I could be quite normal around Danny and not make a complete fool of myself. (Well most of the time) we talked about Christmas and the school play for a bit and then we got onto the subject of rehearsals.

4 minutes later

"So Georgia, have you done much rehearsing?"

"No. not really."

He smiled "well maybe we could do some today, if you're not doing anything?"

"Yer ok. That sounds good. But I don't have my script. We will have to go back to my house to get it. Actually. We could just rehearse at my house. its not that far away from here, and my family have gone out, so we could rehearse properly."

Well done gee! A proper intelligent answer! 200 brownie points for you!

"Yer that sounds good." and when he had finished his drink, we started to walk home. he carried some of my bags for me and instead of there being awkward silences, we talked about school and holidays and food. it was strange, but not awkward, we just said anything and everything and it all just seemed nice.

Then he mentioned Dave.

Walking home with Danny

"I see that you and Dave are a bit better now. Not biting each others heads off."

I wasn't sure what to say so I just nodded.

"He told me you were really good friends once. And that then this guy got in the way and made it awkward."

What has he been telling him? Are they even good friends? I asked him this before I told him anything. "How long have you and Dave been friends?"

"Oh I have known him since we were 3 years old. I moved back here from Ireland a couple of years ago but went to a different school. But I had difficulty fitting in and getting along with people, so I moved to foxwood. We play footie together."

"Oh, so you know him quite well?"

"Yer, we may not hang out all the time, but we are quite close. Me and my mum lived with his family when my dad first moved out. His sister and brother are like family to me."

5 minutes later

I felt a bit funny knowing that I had never met Danny before but he had always been there. Dave never talked about him. But he did sometimes say 'me and one of my mates....' Maybe he was one of the guys that Dave was with when he let the snake out of its pen at the zoo.

"Danny? Were you the guy that was with Dave the day he let that snake out of the zoo?"

Danny looked at me and started laughing like a loon.

"Is that what he told you? That he heroically saved a snake from a life of imprisonment?"

"Yer"

Danny just laughed and tried to stop but every time he did he just burst out laughing again. I couldn't see what was so funny,.

"Dave didn't set it free, it came out of its cage and he started crying because he was scared of it. He started yelling for his mum. I couldn't stop laughing and Dave almost hyperventilated when he tried to get away."

"Oh well that want what eh told me."

"Yer well he has always been a joker. But he did put the for sale sigh on foxwoods once."

"I know that one. But I never knew he was afraid of snakes?"

"Maybe you don't know as much as you think you do..."

But I have known Dave for years. He has told me loads about himself. we had really personal conversations before and he was always telling me exciting stories about things he had done. Of course we were close.

10 minutes later

I was quiet for the rest of the walk home. And when we got to my house I dumped the bags in my room and went to the kitchen to get Danny a drink. I think he could tell I was still thinking about Dave because before we went upstairs to rehearse he stopped me.

"He does tell you a lot of things Georgia. But he's a guy, he would never tell a girl he likes that he is afraid of snakes. Would he?"

"Yer, but he never told me about you. He never said your name. He always mentioned 'a friend' but not Danny."

"Well that's just him. He doesn't know things about you either does he? He doesn't know your favourite colour or your favourite flavour ice cream. He doesn't know the name of your favourite move or whether you like the Simpson's or not?"

I guess he was right. Just because Dave hadn't told me everything about him doesn't mean he doesn't like me or that we aren't close.

30 minutes later

We went into my room and I hunted for my script. Danny sat on my bed and watched as I scrabbled around on the floor looking for the odd sheet of paper. When I eventually found the script I looked up to see Danny lying on my bed with his arms behind his head. Dave used to sit on my bed like that. Weird?

"Come on then Georgia. What scene shall we do first?"

"Ummm, how about where we first meet."

"Good choice." he gave me a cheeky grin and picked his script out of his bag.

1 minute later

We decided to do a line run before we acted out anything. Usually I would want to get straight into it and ignore that fact that jas wants to do a line run, but today I felt different. As Danny read through his lines I looked at him. I couldn't help but notice how blue his eyes were and how cute his nose was, a bit like Dave's but a bit bigger-but not too big. Just different. His hair kept falling in front of his eyes and is lips were really red; he looked like he could be a good kisser. And his teeth were perfect. White and straight.

Danny noticed I was looking at him and went a bit red. "Georgia? Are you going to say your line?"

"Um yer umm…..sorry."

I could feel his eyes watching me as I read my lines. it felt weird but nice. I think he was smiling.

After we had read through the lines, we got up and did some proper acting. I gave him one of my dad's cowboy hats to make him feel more into the part. I don't know how, but he said it would work.

30 minutes later

We got to the bit where he leans forward and tells me that my face looks beautiful today. But as Danny said it I felt a bit weird. All of a sudden I wanted to kiss him. I think he might have noticed because he stepped closer and stopped half way through his line. We were so close I could see the little flecks of green in his eyes. His breathe was warm on my face and I could feel my lips puckering up. But before I could do anything he lent back and turned away.

"I …I ...I can't do this Georgia. It's not right. I know how you feel about Dave and I just can't!"

I didn't know what to say, I was in shock. For a moment there I had been thinking of Dave and all I wanted to do was kiss him….

"But I like you Georgia. So im sorry..."

And the next thing I know he has turned and grabbed me by the shoulders and pulled me close, and then he gently kissed me on the lips. I felt my body giving way and then I felt his arms slip around my wait and holding me close to him. For a moment I couldn't think and just kissed him back. But then I thought of Dave and immediately pushed Danny away.

"Im sorry gee I really am. I better go. Bye."

And with that he picked up his bag and walked out of the room. I heard him rush down the stairs and shut the front door.

1 minute later

Wow.

30 seconds later

That was good kissing.

20 seconds later

But I shouldn't have done it.

I felt really weird afterwards and just lay on my bed thinking. What the hell am I going to do? Do I prefer Dave to Danny, or did I enjoy that more than I thought I did. All I know this that my brain flew away to Thailand and the use of my legs disappeared.

30 seconds later

What am I going to do?

20 seconds later

Well I can't tell Dave.

10 seconds later

Or any of the ace gang

1 minute later

That would just cause far too much hassle.

20 minutes later

Maybe Lord Sandra took my idea of love at Christmas too literally. because now I am in the cake shop of live with the turkey, but I have the option of being bought or running away!

Well I could always marry the turkey if al else fails….

Sorry about the whole seriousness of this chapter. It needed to be. But next one should have some funny stuff in it. I think. If I can make you laugh…..

Thanks for the reviews. Its Christmas soon and I can't wait! Aahhhhh.
