CHAPTER 4: NIGHT AT THE CAVERN

The Cavern was a hip, new club in town. As I walked to the entrance, I saw a very long queue in front of me. I'm not much of a sweet-talker so I decided to call Rachel instead. She's probably gotten her butt in by now.

"Rache? I'm outside. Mind getting me in?"
"Hold on." I heard her speak to some people. "Danny's coming to get you."
"O-okay. Thanks." I stuttered.

I stuck my phone in my purse and silently took in my surroundings. I don't get why these people waste their time over here when they can be somewhere else. I smiled to myself and faintly shook my head at the realization that I sounded like a hypocrite.
The queue suddenly became rowdy and some girls began screaming. This could only mean one thing. I lifted my head and saw Danny approaching me. He gave me a head-to-toe glance and met my gaze.

"Hey. You look beautiful tonight." He smiled.
"Thanks. You too." I smiled back.
"Shall we?" He gestured to the club.
"Yep."

He led me to the entrance where a bouncer let us in whilst holding back some girls in front of the line.
When we got in, Danny took my coat and gave it to the hostess who in turn gave him a number.

"I brought my band mates along."
"So I've heard." I hid my sarcasm.
"Oh?" He looked at me innocently.

I rolled my eyes and followed him to the upper part of the club. In a booth sat three guys and Rachel.

"Guys, this is Blake. Blake, that's Tom, Dougie and Harry."

I gave them an enormous wave and squeezed in between Harry and Danny.
I bet this will be one interesting night.

--

We had a few drinks and just talked. They were amazing lads. Childish, interesting and deep rolled into one.
After a few drinks, we had a bit of dare game. Danny got to snog a waitress, Rachel got on stage and danced like a hooker, I drank three bottles of beer (a stunt I would never ever pull of if I was in my right mind) and the other three, you didn't even want to know.

--

After our dare game, Rachel asked Harry, Tom and Dougie to dance. I'm pretty sure she did it on purpose. I don't know what's running in that crazy head of hers. The three guys stumbled out of the booth and on the dance floor.
I watched them for a while and then glanced at Danny. He was looking at me intently, somehow watching my every move.

"What?" I laughed.
"Nothing. I just........never thought I'd be here hanging out with you."
"Wow." I burst out laughing. "Seriously, Dan. That's a little too corny for you." I looked at the dance floor again..
"I'm not kidding." He said in a semi-serious tone that had 'hurt' written all over it.
"This is getting awkward so you know what? We're going to dance." I smiled slyly and dragged him with me.
"Woah! Hey hey hey!!!" He protested.
"Danny. Shut up and dance."

--

Danny wasn't exactly the best dancer in the world, but he wasn't the worst either. He's really fun to dance with because he doesn't care about technique. All there is to him is having a great time.
I miss those moments we had when we'd burst out laughing and people would look at us like we were deranged.
The song ended and me and Danny were already laughing our heads off. We had bumped each other a few times and stepped on each other's foot, but we really didn't care.
Annie Lennox's 'Why' blared out of the sound system and Danny looked me in the eyes, smile still plastered on his face. I laughed and moved closer and we danced to the slow song.

And these are the years that we have spent
And this is what they represent
And this is how I feel

"It's good to see you again, Blake." Danny mumbled, mid-song.
"Why do you always love to make things awkward?" I laughed and Danny laughed along. "But seriously, I missed you, too."

--

After the slow number, we joined Rachel and Tom, Harry and Dougie to a group dance.
It was one hell of a night and I didn't regret coming.

To be continued...

I decided to get this up early since you guys reviewed quickly as well. Give me reviews and I'll probably get the next one up ASAP.

Gimme a REVIEW! Tell me what you think.
