Chapter 8:
Warren knocked on Dannie-Lynn's bedroom door and she flung it open looking like a hurricane had gone off around her. "What?" She asked almost impatient at his staring in shock.
"What are you doing?"
"I can't find it."
"Find what?"
"My mom's necklace. I can't find it. I never wear it when I know I'm gonna power up, I leave it in my jewelry box and I wanted to wear it today and I can't find it. I can't find it!" She was back to tossing things around her room.
Warren walked in and stood looking around. Cloths were strewn from one corner to the next, cd cases were laying across the floor none left in the rack she had in the corner, and it was a good size rack. Her bed was tore up and scattered about, dresser drawers were hanging open and clothes dangling from them, he couldn't help but smirk when he saw a red lacy type bra hanging from a corner of a dresser drawer by the strap.
"Ok you need to just calm down." Warren said calmly.
Dannie-Lynn whirled on him hatred burning in her irises. "I will not calm down." She said angrily. "And if you aren't going to help get out."
"Ok." Warren put his hands up defensively.
Dannie-Lynn sighed and took a deep relaxing breath and then released it. "I'm sorry." She said her eyes softening a bit. "It's just it's the only thing of my mothers I really have left."
"What does it look like?" Warren asked. Dannie-Lynn walked over to her dresser where she grabbed the bra dangling and threw it in the drawer and pulled a picture from the same drawer and handed it to Warren.
Warren looked at the picture. The woman had dark hair like Dannie-Lynn and beautiful dark green eyes, but Dannie-Lynn's were a bit brighter. It was obvious where Dannie-Lynn got her facial features. Her oval face shape, wide set almond eyes, small nose and petite nostrils, perfect ears and elegantly proportioned neck was completely from her mother. But he wasn't sure if she was all her mother because the picture only went to the woman's, Julianne's clavicle.
He got back to the topic at hand and looked at the necklace. It was a small white gold chain with a locket pendent dangling from it. "Um I hate to tell you this but you've tornadoed your room for no reason." Warren said.
Dannie-Lynn looked at him in an angry befuddlement. "What?" She asked.
Warren waved her to follow him and he lead her down the hall to the upstairs bathroom and pulled the chain down that was dangling from the corner of the mirror and held it out to her. "Saw it when I was grooming." He joked. Dannie-Lynn took the necklace and put it on.
"Thank you." She jumped up wrapping her arms around his neck and planting a searing kiss on his lips. "Thank you…thank you…thank you…" She said between head tilts and kisses. Warren held her around the waist kissing back until they heard laughter and Layla and Magenta came running into the bathroom.
"Sorry didn't realize this was the hot spot." Magenta kidded.
Dannie-Lynn looked over her shoulder and growled at the girl angrily. "Well it is so beat it."
"But I have to…"
"Beat it." Warren growled and both girls high tailed it out of the bathroom before one of the two decided to roast them like a thanksgiving turkey.
Dannie-Lynn grinned and kissed him again. "So you groom?" She teased as she broke away.
Warren let her down and he glared at her. "I was only kidding."
"Mmm…" Dannie-Lynn hummed to herself. "That's why you have…" sniff, sniff. "Cologne on?"
"Would you rather I stink?" He asked sardonically.
"Do you normally stink?" She asked sweetly.
Warren smirked at her. "No."
"Than I'm not opposed to it, but the cologne isn't a bad touch either."
"So what are our plans for tonight?" Warren asked. It had been three weeks since the whole ordeal with Nessa. Nessa was back home now with no plans of visiting Italy again for a long while. She was healing up and as cocky as ever not letting what happened ruin her life. The way Nessa saw it she was young and had a lot to live for and one unfortunate occurrence wasn't going to ruin her outlook on the world or her life.
Dannie-Lynn and Warren walked out of the bathroom and back towards her room. She stepped in the doorway Warren standing close enough behind that his chest brushed up against her back. "First I have to clean this mess up, than I dunno wherever I happen to take us." She said.
Warren decided to be a nice boyfriend and pushed her into the room following behind and shutting the door. "I'll help you clean up."
"No slipping my panties in your pocket for safe keeping capeesh?" She said grinning at him.
Warren grinned back and shrugged. "Not making any promises."
"If I find one pair of missing panties I'll make your life miserable for a week."
"How miserable?" He asked with an evil smile plaguing his handsome face and his hands holding her hips pulling her in tighter to his body.
Dannie-Lynn grinned. "Have I ever mentioned I sometimes don't wear panties?" She asked him impishly. "And that night we danced, I wasn't wearing any." She said huskily into his ear.
A mental image hit Warren and he groaned pulling her in even tighter. "That wasn't very nice." He growled in her ear.
"Capeesh?" She grinned stepping back a bit.
Warren scowled at her lightly and nodded begrudgingly. "Capeesh." He groaned. "Tease."
Dannie-Lynn shook her head at him with a bright grin on her face. "It's only teasing if you don't plan to follow through." She whispered seductively and leaned up giving him a kiss. "And I plan to follow through." She added and broke away from him going into her closet to start righting everything that had been turned upside down.
They started fixing the mess Dannie-Lynn had created and soon found that they were finished.
Having thought about her options Dannie-Lynn decided she had a great plan for the night. She braced her self one hand on the door handle and the other on the doorframe leaning out of her room. "Everyone we're going out tonight!" She screamed down the hall. "Look hot or else I'll dress you myself and I ain't shy!" She finished. She closed her bedroom door and turned to Warren who was lying on her perfectly made bed looking up at her confused. "Go get ready now."
"Why?"
"Cause in two hours it'll be dark and we're gonna go party."
"Party!" Warren asked.
Dannie-Lynn nodded with a smirk on her lips that Warren really just wanted to kiss, but resisted for a bit. "Yup we are. So go."
"Two hours? Do you honestly think I need to hours to get ready?" He asked indignantly. Dannie-Lynn went over and crawled onto the bed over him her knees on either side of his hips and her arms holding her up hands placed on either side of his head.
A smile cross her lips as she looked down at him. Their position sort of reminded her of this time that…well it brought up fond memories.
"What are you smiling at?" Warren asked.
"Nothing." Dannie-Lynn laughed silently to herself and moved on to other matters at hand. "You need to find a pair of pants that don't have holes in them so that could take you some time."
"But all my best jeans have holes in them, hell I worked hard to put those holes there." He replied with a grin. "They just wouldn't be the same without them, and the grease stains and the faded mud stains."
A mental image popped into Dannie-Lynn's mind. "Mmm…mud…" She hummed huskily leaning down and kissing him. Letting her tongue slip effortlessly between his lips Warren found his hands moving of their own accord up the back of her thighs to her ass and he squeezed the plushy flesh hidden beneath a layer of jeans.
A small moan traveled from Dannie-Lynn's mouth and vibrated into Warren's making him do it again as they're kissing turned adamant and demanding. Dannie-Lynn broke away moments later gasping for air. "S-stop we have to." She stuttered.
"What are you yoda?" Warren teased having caught his breath staring at her while she tried to speak.
She smirked down at him. "If yoda has boobs and likes guys than sure, I guess I am." She joked.
Warren grinned menacingly. "Yoda definitely doesn't have boobs and I don't think he likes guys." He replied.
"Than I'm definitely not he." She giggled. "Don't tell TJ I made jokes about yoda, he'll string me up by my toes."
"That could be an amusing site." Warren retorted.
Dannie-Lynn glared at him lightly. She reached back with her hand took his off her ass and placed it on her abdomen just above the hem of her jeans. "You feel that heat there?" Warren nodded. "That would be my internal core and it's heating just for you." He smirked. Dannie-Lynn leaned down her lips right next to his ear. "If you ever want to help me release that heat you wont say a damn word to TJ."
"What's the big deal, kids to shy to actually do something like that." Warren protested as Dannie-Lynn sat back up. Warren had moved his hand back to her rear.
"No he's shy around you guys. That kid is dangerous you have no idea." Dannie-Lynn told him. "And you mock star wars you better be prepared to have pink hair for a month."
"Pink hair?" Warren grinned.
"Oh god I dunno who gave that kid a chemistry set but it took Uncle Reed a month to come up with something potent enough to get the dye out of my hair. I couldn't dye it because whatever TJ put in that shit was just…I dunno but I don't fuck with his star wars any more."
"Pink hair…" Warren pondered looking at her. "I just can't imagine you with pink hair."
"Yeah it wasn't pretty. TJ and I didn't talk for two months after that."
"I know this is off subject but what does TJ stand for?"
"Thomas Jacob, but don't tell him I told you that would be something else to string me up for. See we have this understanding little mockery is allowed, but there are just certain areas the rest of us just don't venture with him. And everyone claims I have issues."
"You do." Warren stated.
Dannie-Lynn frowned at him. "What?"
"Well you are dating Warren Peace son of Baron Battle and supposed to be villain someday." He said smirking at her.
Laughing at his joke she smiled down at him. "Well while that all may be true I'll kick your ass far before you can turn villain."
"Oh so we're going to be together always?" He asked in a sickly sweet googly eyes and all voice acting like a sixteen-year-old girl with her first crush as her boyfriend.
Dannie-Lynn smothered his talk by putting a hand over his mouth. "No, but maybe who knows. And even if we don't last I'll still beat the snot out of you."
Warren chuckled removing her hand from his mouth. "Thanks." He said sardonically.
"No sweat."
"Actually I'm looking forward to the sweatiness." He smirked.
Dannie-Lynn grinned at him. "Figure of speech."
"And?" He said mockingly.
"And I'm sort of maybe microscopically looking forward to the sweatiness too, but don't get your hopes up dreamboat I'm picky about my pleasures." Dannie-Lynn said grinning at him deviously.
Warren let his hands come around and playfully rustle with the fasteners of her pants. "Let's just see about that." He grinned mischievously. Dannie-Lynn gasped and grabbed for his hands.
"No stop." She said quickly taking his hands from her jeans pinning them on either side of his head.
"Hmm…kinky." Warren grinned looking to each side where she held his hands down firmly with and heated iron like grip.
"Stop." Dannie-Lynn laughed. "My dad thinks I'm still his sweet innocent Dannie, last thing I need is him walking in on us or you with your hand down my pants."
"Ok I'll stop and be good I swear." Warren said with an innocent quirky grin.
Dannie-Lynn scrutinized him for a moment and than released his hands. She sat back on his waist and fixed the button on her jeans that he managed to get undone before she could snatch his hand away. "Be a good boy and go change. You can wear whatever." She said with a smile.
That Night:
Dannie-Lynn talked with the bouncer for a moment before he smiled and let them all into the club. "How'd you do that?" Layla asked.
"She's got connections! That's all she'll say." Syd told her over the music as they walked down the hall. Syd wore Dannie-Lynn's black mini jean skirt and a white scoop neck halter with strappy stilettos that matched.
Dannie-Lynn wore her black and gray plaid pleated skull skirt that barely covered her ass, and a cropped to cover her breasts top that was black which showed off the gray skull bikini top she wore under it. (Think Ciara dance sequence Goodies music video) Her feet were adorned in black combat style boots.
Layla wore a nice green halter dress and flats, Magenta wore a purple tee and light worn in jeans, Will typical all American boy outfit, Ethan wore an orange t-shirt and black baggy jeans that Dannie-Lynn had practically forced on him with some awesome kicks. Zach wore his typical bright yellow shirt and baggy shorts and white tenishoes. And Warren wore his usual faded dark blue jeans and a black button up with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows and his fingers gloves and black boots.
"I'll be right back I just need to go talk to the dj." Dannie-Lynn yelled to the group.
"WHAT!" They all yelled back.
"DJ!" She yelled pointing up to the stage. They all oh'd and nodded and Dannie-Lynn worked her way through the crowd avoiding horny guys that might try and dance with her. It situations like this she noticed guys liked to flock to her, like a moth to the flame. But now she had a boyfriend and she had to respect that.
Getting up on the stage she went to the dj taping his shoulder and he looked up grinning at her. "Hey my homie!" He teased opening his arms while the music thumped through the small building and the bodies in the crowd continued to gyrate to the beat.
"Hey!" She said brightly.
"Anyone to impress tonight!" He called to her.
Dannie-Lynn smiled and pointed towards Warren who was watching her and she waved. Warren gave a curt wave back. "SEE THE GUY THAT WAVED?" Her friend nodded. "My boyfriend." She whispered in his ear.
He looked at her shocked. "Really?"
Dannie-Lynn smirked and nodded. "I know it's kind of a newsflash to me to." She said leaning in to his ear.
He smiled and shook his head laughing a bit at her comment. "All right girl I gottcha covered tonight." He said he switched tracks flipping the used one from the old school turntable and put on a new record.
"Thanks." Dannie-Lynn jumped off the stage and went back through the crowd.
"Hey mami, wanna dance?" Some cute Latin kid asked her. He wasn't much older than her. This place they were at was known to all teens cause it was mostly meant for 18 and up. But Dannie-Lynn got in anyways being who she was and anyone with her was welcome as well.
Dannie-Lynn grinned at him removing the hand he had placed on her waist. "Not interested papi, go find another hoe to do your dirty work." And with that said she walked off right over to Warren. Layla and Will had found there way into the crowd and were dancing a bit. Zach and Magenta were at a table, Ethan was talking to a girl who could be a female version of him only she wore blue. Syd was talking with a few people from school and that left poor Warren alone. "Oh my poor baby's all alone." She teased with fake pouty lips.
Warren smirked at her. "Yes he is."
"Come dance with me." Dannie-Lynn said starting to pull him into the crowd. Warren allowed himself to be pulled in to the crowd. They really were a pair when close together. T-Pain's buy you a drink played through the club and Dannie-Lynn turned brushing her backside knowingly against Warren's groin.
Warren leaned down to her ear. "Don't do that." He growled in frustration.
Dannie-Lynn did it again to make a point and this time Warren grabbed her thighs under her skirt pulling her tight against him. She could feel the stiff even through his jeans slightly poking her behind. She turned her head tilting it up to look at him. "Oops did I do that?" She asked with an innocent but devilish grin.
"Yes. Now stop!" Warren growled as he bent his head capturing her lips. Dannie-Lynn moaned into his mouth as his tongue seeked out hers exploring her mouth.
"YOU TWO NEED A ROOM!" They broke away to see the Mayor's son.
Dannie-Lynn took Warren's firm grip from her thighs and wrapped his arms around her waist. "What are you doing here Trevor?" She hollered over the music. "This isn't your crowd."
"Thought I might find you here. Got more than I bargained for!" He yelled back.
"TREVOR YOU SHOULDN'T BE HERE!" She yelled back.
"WHY?" He said over the music. "AM I RUINING YOUR DRY HUMP SESSION!"
Dannie-Lynn glared at him. "WOULD YOU JUST LEAVE ME ALONE!" She yelled.
Trevor smirked at her. "YOU HAVE FUN AND DON'T FORGET TO USE PROTECTION YOU NEVER KNOW WHERE HE"S BEEN!"
Warren stepped from behind Dannie-Lynn fists at the ready but she stepped in front of him grabbing his hands and holding his stare. "Don't." She mouth. "Mayor's son." She added looking at him intently.
He nodded and Dannie turned to look at Trevor. She leaned in to his ear. "I'd hate for your father to find out about that time at camp, you might want to just go now." She whispered. Of course she had dirt on him. When she did actually talk to him he spilled his guts about not being perfect.
The camp incident she was referring to was when the camp counselor had caught him with a girl his age, at fifteen in the woods late at night "touching" each other. But that wasn't the best part he had changed the phone number on record at the camp to his cell and when the counselor called to talk to the mayor he got the voicemail every time he tried. So finally he gave up and tried a letter, but by that time Trevor had gotten home and just burned it before his father could see.
Trevor walked away and Dannie-Lynn turned back to Warren smirking. "Where were we?" She asked jokingly and lifted her head up and kissed him softly. Warren broke away moments later holding her tight against him.
"Drink." He whispered in her ear. Dannie-Lynn agreed and pulled him towards the bar. Layla and Will soon joined them at the bar and then Magenta and Zach. Ethan was just on the side still talking with that girl he had met.
"You guys having fun?" Dannie-Lynn asked. They each nodded even Warren did.
Sydney came over with a guy from school. "Dannie you know Jake?"
Dannie-Lynn gave a curt slightly uncomfortable nod. It wasn't like she could just come out and say 'Hey shaker Jake, yeah cuz I fucked him hope you're not interested.'
"Been a while Dannie-Lynn." Jake said. Syd looked between them slightly confused and then at Dannie-Lynn when realization dawned on her, and she frowned.
"You two know each other?" She asked scoffing cause she already knew the answer.
Jake shrugged. "We had a thing."
"Jake this is Warren, my boyfriend. Warren, Jake Nicholas." Dannie-Lynn introduced changing the subject all though that could probably get pretty ugly.
Jake smirked evilly. "Boyfriend? Really? Wow she fucked you yet?" He asked bluntly.
Layla, Magenta, Will, and Zach gasped. Ethan hadn't heard Warren wasn't the kind of guy to be surprised too much by those things and Sydney wasn't stupid. Dannie-Lynn groaned angrily. "Don't go there Jake." She said feeling the heat from Warren's body. "I'm only going to say this once again. I did not nor have I ever told or mentioned to you're girlfriend that we had sex when you two were split. If you would like to blame someone figure out which crony of yours told her and leave me alone."
Syd rolled her eyes turned on her heal and walked away. Dannie-Lynn looked over her shoulder at Warren quickly before taking off after her. "That's her shtick. She makes you think she cares, gets want she wants and than wants nothing to do with you." Jake said to Warren.
Warren stepped up to him and was a good three or four inches taller as he looked down at the guy. "You make anymore comments like that around me, I'll make sure you're extra crispy." He said seriously and stepped around him and walked out of the club to find Sydney and Dannie-Lynn.
Dannie-Lynn ran out of the club and saw Sydney waiting for a cab to hail. "Sidder's wait a minute." Dannie-Lynn jogged up to her.
"Why should you two having sex bother me?" Syd snapped at her.
"I know you like him. And now that he doesn't have a girl you thought maybe…"
"Well that's over cause I don't want to hang in your sex kitten shadow!"
"Hey that's uncalled for Syd. I didn't mean for what happened between Jake and me to happen. It was a party and things got out of hand."
"It's the story of your life Dannie. Things got out of hand. I don't know how many times I've heard that excuse come from your mouth!"
"This isn't about Jake and me sleeping together is it?"
"Yes I mean…no I mean god I don't know!" Syd snapped.
Dannie-Lynn stopped her from trying to hail another cab. "Say it." She demanded.
Sydney took a breath and than glared at he. "I'm sick and tired of going out with you and watching guys fall over themselves to get you, or meeting some guy you've shagged before."
"That doesn't count this was the only time that's happened." Dannie-Lynn clarified.
Sydney rolled her eyes. "Whatever. The other is true and you know it."
"So what you're sick of being ignored?" Dannie-Lynn asked. "How is that my fault? Is it my fault you don't grows some balls and get out there, no I think not."
"What are you talking about I'm out there."
"No Syd you give off this secluded vibe. You're too shy. I've already told you all this."
"Sorry some of us can't give off the 'my legs are like a lock you find the key and it's all me' vibe!" Sydney shot back.
Dannie-Lynn felt her anger build, but she tried pushing it away. "That was low."
Sydney sighed. "Sorry."
"No I don't think you are. You've wanted to say that since I told you about my life. Admit it! Calling me a slut was high on you're priorities list wasn't it. Not all of us have the desire to be perfect." Dannie-Lynn turned and saw Warren walking towards them slowly to give them space. She just walked away and grabbed his hand. "Hold on." And with that she flamed up and took them back to the Baxter building.
