I awoke the next morning to Danny's light snores beside me. I gradually manoeuvred my way out of the bed not really wanting to leave the warmth of the duvet but my stomach was grumbling at me and needed to be filled.

As I entered the kitchen I could hear the distinct sound of various pots and pans being shuffled around and banged together. I hadn't been drunk the night before but the harsh sounds of pots and pans being struck together reverberated around my head like a loud alarm bell. I was greeted by Tom with a wok in one hand and a saucepan in the other. He was looking very confused. "Which one do I use to make scrambled eggs" he said urgently. "Are you serious? The saucepan of course" I said with a giggle." I'm trying to make Lyndsey breakfast before she gets up, but I have a slight problem in that I cannot cook so I haven't a bloomin clue what I am doing. Maybe ill just make her a cup of tea. Its not quite as romantic though is it?" he said in a frenzy. " Here ill help you, you go get the bacon and eggs out of the fridge, we will pretend you did it all she will be none the wiser." I giggled. We quickly got on with cooking Lyndsey her breakfast.

" So where did you come from missy? You weren't here when I went to bed" asked Tom. I quickly took the bacon off him and turned it down as he was about to burn it to a crisp. " Danny picked me up last night I was out with some of my friends from Uni. He wanted me to make him hot chocolate. Seriously, you boys are ruled by your stomachs its ridiculous." I said while trying to rescue the breakfast from Tom's unique cooking skills. " You mean he went out and picked you up at two in the morning just so he could see you …. Aaawwwww that's so cute! When is the engagement party?." Tom teased. Danny and I were used to it for the first six months of meeting us people tried to convince us that we were blind and that we were meant to be a couple. After six months they all seemed to realise that it wasn't going to happen. Tom knew damn well that Danny and I were not interested in each other but he always liked to stir the pot by teasing us. The breakfast was beginning to come together nicely when Lyndsey strolled into the kitchen. " what are you doing up? I was just going to bring you breakfast" Tom exclaimed. " 1. I heard you banging around. And 2. You're so sweet but crumbs in bed is never a good thing we can have it down here." Lyndsey said with a yawn and a smile. She gave Tom a quick kiss then sat down at the table awaiting her breakfast. " I thought I heard some noise coming from Danny's room last night when did you get here?" Lyndsey said with a smirk. She and Tom had been seeing each other for about four months so she was right in the middle of her six month stint of matchmaking me and Danny. We had become so accustomed to this questioning and speculation that we always liked to have a bit of fun with the newbies. All our friends had fallen victim to it at one stage or another. " oh no you heard us I thought we were very quiet." I said with a look of guilt on my face, trying my best to not laugh. Lyndsey's face was a picture, her mouth just dropped open and her eyes looked like they were being held open with matchsticks, they were so wide. Tom muffled his laughter with a cough, having seen this routine many times before and been a victim himself. "WHAT?? You mean you and Danny …. I Mean.. what? Oh my god this is incredible." she waffled on completely astonished with what she had just heard. "You mean you didn't hear us oh god I've just put my foot in it. Oh no" I said in a worried voice. " I don't believe it, this is amazing! Finally you have realised what I have been telling you for months." just as Lyndsey said this Danny padded into the kitchen still in a sleepy daze. Lyndsey ran at him and gave him a big congratulatory hug. It took all my will power to not burst out laughing at that moment. "Danny honey we have been found out." He glanced over at me and realised what was going on in an instant. " Ah well babe it was bound to come out sooner or later." he said while wrapping me up in a big hug and pecking me on the lips. He sat down at the table pouring himself a cup of tea, then pulled me down to sit on his knee resting his head on my shoulder. "Wow I'm such a good matchmaker I have succeeded where hundreds have failed before. I should do this as a career" Lyndsey said smugly, utterly thrilled with her own success. Tom burst out laughing but quickly disguised it with another coughing fit. " Oh Tom, you ok?" Lyndsey asked genuinely concerned. I didn't think I could keep it up much longer. Lyndsey's reaction had been one of the best yet. Once Tom had recovered from his "coughing fit," They joined us at the table with their breakfast. Lyndsey looked like all her Christmases had come at once she kept looking up from her breakfast and grinning at us.

I was just about to tell her that we were only joking when Harry walked into the kitchen. I suddenly felt a little nervous, I could tell from his demeanour that he didn't seem to be in better form than when I had seen him last night. He grabbed some orange juice out of the fridge not saying a word. Just as he was about to walk back out of the room he glanced over at the table and stopped, looking directly at me and Danny. " God Lola, what's up with you? John and Danny in the same night, you really are whoring yourself about at the moment aren't you?" he said as he began to walk out of the kitchen. I was about to laugh when I realised the tone of his voice. He wasn't joking. There was absolutely no sense of fun or mirth in his voice at all, it was cold and malicious. Everyone looked up from the table, I felt Danny's grip tighten around me. " What the hell mate? You know we are only messing around" said Danny in a stunned voice as the other two looked on in shock at Harry's actions. " yeah so you say anyway" Harry muttered snidely as he walked out of the room. I felt my face flush with mortification. I slowly got up off Danny's knee and busied myself in the kitchen. " Sorry Lyndsey we were only messing, we do it to everyone at some point. We did it to Harry and he has seen it happen about a million times he was just being an idiot." Danny explained. Lyndsey looked slightly crestfallen but also looked concerned she could see that I was really hur and embarassed. Tom still looked pretty stunned, all the lads knew mine and Danny's little routine to initiate new people, there was no way Harry didn't recognise it. " what's his problem Dan?" asked Tom quietly like he didn't want me to hear. " I don't know mate." Danny said as he moved towards me at the sink. " Are you ok Lolly?" he asked me quietly as I washed the dishes. I quickly dried my hands and turned around. " Yeah, I'm grand, I'm just going to go get dressed, I have to head home and do some study. Don't want my mum giving out to me again for not studying enough" I said with a fake smile as I quickly walked out of the kitchen and went up the stairs to Danny's room. I ran past Harry's room praying that he wouldn't come out.

As I gathered my things after getting dressed Danny walked into his room and sat down on the bed, beckoning me over to join him. I slumped down beside him looking at the ground. I didn't have to say a word, he knew I was upset, between Harry's coldness last night and his weird outburst in the kitchen I was so confused. Why was he so annoyed with me.

Ok seriously what the hell is wrong with me? I pretty much just called the girl I have fallen for a whore. After I left the kitchen I went straight up to my room to try and figure out in my own head where the hell that outburst had come from. My head was still messed up from the previous night but I had definitly calmed down, as I walked into the kitchen the mix of the look of astonishment on lyndsey's face and Lola sitting on Danny's knee with their arms wrapped around each other, I instantly recognised Danny and Lola's little intiation routine. I had witnessed it so many times, every time it got funnier, but as I turned around from the fridge I saw Danny kiss her lightly on the cheek and whisper something in her ear, while he had his hand resting on her waist slowly rubbing his thumb against her soft skin, they looked like a real couple, this set off the green eyed monster again. I suddenly felt annoyed and Lola was the recipient of my wrath. Why was I acting so ridiculously? and why was it Lola that it all seemed to be directed at? surely she is the last person I want to drive away. I felt horrible. I know Lola is feeling really hurt right now and the only person to blame is me. This has got to stop I either have to tell her how I feel in hope that she will either feel the same way ( can't see that one happening, people don't usually fall for people who call them whores!!) or at least by telling her how I feel I will be some how be able to explain to her why I have been acting so weird so at least then i might be able to salvage some kind of friendship with her.
