(October 25th)
Danny Jr. was sitting in the living room watching TV, wearing jeans and a red shirt with Jimi Hendrix on it. His brother was out and his sister was off with Seth somewhere. His parents were also about to leave to a night out on the town, and more of all Alicia was coming to spend the night with him. Had this been a year ago he wouldn't have minded, but now things were complicated. He had hit sixteen about two weeks ago, to which she had given him a present and gave him a very big hug. This wasn't the regular kind of hug, it was almost the "I love you" hug. He hadn't felt right after being that near to her and after that he was really nervous when he was around her nowadays.
Yes everything had went back to normal after the kiss and they went back to the best friend phase, but he knew deep down things would be different. It had been a month since the small kiss he and her shared. It wasn't like he didn't like it, it was because he still hadn't come to terms with his feelings yet. He was so very confused, I mean very confused. She had seemed like a sister to him, but now she was a lot more than that.
"Okay Danny, we're leaving," his mom and dad said, dressed up in a suit and a nice dress the kind Hollywood stars wear.
"Okay Dad. Have a nice night," said Danny. They bid him good night and they left out the door. Danny heard the engine rev and saw the lights of the car go out the driveway and away down the street. He now had the house to himself.
Twenty minutes later the doorbell rang.
"That's probably Ali," he said to himself. He got off the couch and walked to the door. He took a very deep breath, calming his nerves. There she was in skinny jeans and an all-black t-shirt, tight-fitting shirt that showed off her figure, carrying a duffel bag. Danny felt his heart swoop when he saw her. He had seen the shirt dozes of times, but he was really liking it more now.
"Hey Danny," she said. Danny was staring at her in the "What am I going to do now?" look.
"Can we go inside?" she asked. He nodded slowly and let her in. She closed the door behind her and walked into the living room, sitting the duffel bag on the floor.
"So whatcha wanna do?" she said.
"Uhh, guess watch a movie," he said. She nodded. He went and picked out Titanic. Half of him told him it was a bad idea while the other half said go for it. They sat down on the couch side-by-side, looking at the movie. When they got to the part when Jack and Rose were kissing on the bow of the ship, he felt her lay her head over his chest. He felt his heart rate increasing over tenfold and he had difficulty breathing.
"Danny, are you okay?" she said.
"Yeah, I'm fine," he said, a little too quickly. One of her hands went to his chest.
Gosh, your heart feels like it's about to beat out of your chest," she said to him.
"Sorry, must be the scene," he said. She bought into it, even though she knew he was lying, and went back to watching the movie. With that scare out of his body he was able to relax a little. They got to the scenes where Jack and Rose were having sex in the car and he felt his eyes gaze from the movie towards her, his urges beginning to overpower him. She seemed even more breathtaking in the dark room, the light from the TV the only source of light.
Alicia was worried that she might be sending Danny all the wrong signals.
"Maybe I should just cool things down. He's reacting too much," she thought. At the scene where Jack and Rose were in the water she felt him move around a little.
"This is the saddest part," she said to him.
"Why do all girls say that?" he said.
"Because it's true, duh," she said.
"Women, always so emotional," he said.
"Are you trying to start something?" she said.
"I might be, but I don't think you're up to the challenge," he said. She lunged at him and pinned his arms to his sides.
"Take it back," she said to him. Danny just smiled his mischievous smile and flipped them over. They continued wrestling like this, determined to see the other fall. Ultimately, Danny's demigod training gave him the upper hand and he pinned her arms above her had.
"There, now what are you going to do about it?" he said. She conceited defeat, but not until they noticed the position they were in. He was directly on top of her, and his face was barely an inch from hers. Without warning she kissed him.
Danny's eyes were wide open as he felt her lips on his.
"Ali?" he said at first, but then he gave into it, kissing her back. Her lips felt so warm on his, and they felt so soft and full of life. He felt like an electric spark had went through his entire body. His hands slid up to her shoulders as she grasped around his back, pulling him in deeper.
They continued this kissing and she nipped at his lower lip, until she let go, pushing away quickly from him.
"Uh..I need to...get a drink," she said quickly, before she hopped up and walked fast to the kitchen. Whatever was wrong, she was probably a bit confused too.
If there was one person who was more confused, it was Danny. He felt as if the world had gone topsy-turvy. He had never been so confused in his life. Yes he liked her as a friend, and secretly more than that, but what had passed between them was too sudden. He felt like he wanted to hyperventilate or something. His heart was fluttering, his stomach was churning like a volcano, and his brain was in critical overload.
Yet somehow, he wanted more. He didn't know what was going on. He was shocked, yet the kiss had felt so right. It was like two sides of himself were at war with each other, his body and soul versus, his mind. As he sat down on the floor debating what to do, he remembered something his sister had told him awhile back.
"There'll be times when you don't have to use your brain Danny. Not everything is solvable and thinkable. Your body is the the thing that reacts to this. If you let it guide you, you can solve almost anything, except things that require your brain."
He thought about her words over and over again. As he thought, he decided that he shouldn't follow his brain, but his heart. He stood up, knowing just what to do.
Alicia was in the kitchen hastily drinking a glass of water. Her head seemed like it was on fire, and she was shivering slightly. She hadn't expected for that to happen, but it did. Her heart was going a million miles an hour, and she couldn't help but feel that she finally done it, kissed the boy she wanted. Yet a part of her hoped that they hadn't gone too far. She didn't want to lose her best friend all because of one kiss, and now she was deeply regretting, thinking that things would never be the same between them.
Danny saw her leaning against the counter, her back to him. He came up silently, yet she knew he was behind her.
He placed his hands on either side of her on the countertop, trapping her in place. She felt his body press up to hers behind her.
"Danny, I..," she started off, but Danny placed a finger to her lips to silence her.
"I want this too," he said. He placed feather-light kisses up and down the side of her neck. She responded by moving her head to the right more to let him have deeper access. It was the best feeling in the world to her. Her left arm wrapped around to his back and her right hand held the back of his head in place. Likewise his hands went to her waist, rubbing and caressing it. He leaves her neck with a fleeting kiss before she turns her head to the side to kiss him deeply.
It was a nice, juicy kiss. From his lips he could taste her lip gloss, it was peach flavored. She sighed into the kiss and he pulled her in closer to him, his hands tight on her waist. They went down till they began sliding up and down her hips. Her hands remained tight on his back and head.
Unintentionally, her tongue glided past his lips, threatening to come into it. She let go for a minute.
"Sorry, I didn..." But he silenced her again with another searing kiss that made her forget what she was going to say. His tongue licked her lips, asking if it could come in. She sighed again to allow him to get some space in there. His tongue touched hers, retreated a little, and then softly and smoothly massaged it. They made small smacking noises as their lips moved in sync with each other.
His hands slowly let her shirt up to glide his fingers over her bare waist. Her skin felt so soft and warm, and it was silky too. He was tempted to move his hands up, which he did. His hand continued moving up, teasing her bellybutton for a minute before he descended up to find the hem of her bra. He played with the bottom of her bra, teasing her before he slipped in his hands under the fabric. His hands softly cupped her breast, making her moan in his mouth. He gave a sharp squeeze and she ended their kiss, making a nice, loud feminine moan. He relished the sound, and he hungered for more of it.
He took his hands out of her bra and turned her around. They were both sick of the backwards stuff and wanted to meet each other face-to-face. Turning her around he kissed her fiercely, leaning her onto the counter. She hopped onto it, drawing him closer so that they were touching from pelvis to face, their lips moving in sync.
His hands found the bottom of her shirt and he slowly began to take it off. She lifted her arms up so he could slip her t-shirt off. There she was in the semi-dark room, partly naked. She had on a red lace bra, and her breasts was rising and falling with each deep breath she was taking. She was looking dead at him, her eyes searching his own. He pressed up to her and lightly kissed her. Her arms wrapped around his back to keep the kiss going, never wanting to stop.
Her hands reached the hem of his shirt and she pulled it up. He raised his arms enough for her to let the shirt off his body. She saw how lean his muscles were and how he was built to be light and fast and not a muscle man. Either she wouldn't care, he was the perfect the way he was.
His hands reached behind her back and found the latch to her bra. He looked at her for the okay. She nodded slowly and he unhooked it. She pulled the rest of it off so that now her entire half was exposed to him and only him. Danny looked at her as an artist explores and searches the meaning of a painting. She thought he was judging her and her arms moved slowly to cover herself. His hands stopped her arms from moving.
"Don't, you're perfect the way you are," he whispered before he gave her another feather-light kiss. His arms wrapped around her as hers did the same. They could feel each others heartbeat and he felt her breasts press into his chest. It drove him wild. He wanted her more and more, and she was thinking the same thing too.
He kissed down her jaw to her neck, sucking at her skin and having her grab his back fiercely. She placed light kisses down the back of his neck, making goosebumps form around the places where she kissed him. His hands grabbed her arms and pinned them behind her back so that her chest was thrust out and her back arched. He placed fleeting kisses down her collarbone and the top of her breast before he latched onto her nipple.
Her moans echoed throughout the kitchen as he sucked on her bud, hard and softly. He licked it and blew on it to have her squirm under him from the torture. He let go of one of her arms to squeeze and caress her unattended breast. Her gasps resonated in the room as her free hand held him to her beast, not wanting him to leave.
"Ahh, Danny," she moaned softly. Looking up to see her head tossed back he took his lips off of her nipple and went up to kiss her, letting go of her other arm and pulling her closer to him. She wrapped her arms around him and ground her hips into his, her tongue wrestling with his. His pants were unbearably tight, and the way she ground into him made it even harder for to breath, even think straight.
His fingers unknowingly found the button and unlatched it, going down to the zipper. They both looked down at the same time as he pulled it down, exposing the front of her panties. Once they were firmly down they looked into each other again. Her eyes were filled with many things: excitement, fear, shock, happiness, lust, and love. His eyes were the same. He kissed her again to reassure her, but as she moved to take his zipper down too, he let go suddenly and held her hands in place to stop her. His head was cast down, and she lifted it up to ask him what's wrong.
"Danny?" she said.
"I can't," he said, his eyes looking away from her.
"Why?" she asked.
"This is happening too fast. I never even had the courage to ask you out until now, and here we are about to have sex," he said. She understood. They had went way too far. They had been best friends about thirty minutes ago until she had kissed him. He sighed and out his head on her shoulder, unsure of what to do next. She held him to her, stroking his back lightly. She knew he was probably very confused and needed guidance.
"Danny. When did you first start liking me like this?" said Alicia.
"I think I always did, but I was too shy to admit it," he said softly. She felt her breathing and rubbing the bottom of her chin on his shoulder.
"Danny, I need to be honest with you. I think ever since last year since you helped me with my last breakup and you gave me my flower, I think I've seen you in a different light ever since, not just as friends but more than that," she said.
"What do you mean?" he said, still clueless as always.
"What I'm saying Danny is I think I've fallen in love with you," she said quietly. He felt a tear hit his shoulder and let go of her enough to have her face up to him.
"Why are you crying?" he asked her.
"Because I don't know if you feel the same way," she said, sounding like she was on the verge of breaking down. He cupped her left cheek with his hand.
"Ali, I do," he said. He leaned forward and kissed her again, this time full of love and passion. Her hand cupped his cheek too as the kiss endured. They let go and pressed their foreheads together, now more sure than ever before. No more shyness or fear, now they were what they wanted to be.
"Do you know how long I waited for you to say that?" she said.
"Too long, but better than never," he said. He took her off the counter and hugged her close to him, kissing the top of her head. As he looked at her.
"We should probably get dressed before your parents get home," she said. He handed her her bra off the floor by his feet and watched as she put it on.
"Danny, not to be nosy, but where did you get that?" she asked, pointing to a scar on his left chest. Danny remembered getting it from a sword swipe by a dracaenae.
"I got clipped by a a guy with a knife," said Danny. She decided not to ask when did that happen and instead went back to putting on her clothes. He got their discarded shirts and he put his on while she put hers on. He helped her off the counter, but she did a fake trip to land firmly into his arms.
"You know you can be clumsy at the weirdest times," he said. She smiled and kissed him again, pleasantly. He backed her up to the counter again and ended their kiss.
"So what does this mean for us?" she asked.
"I guess you officially have another boyfriend, and I'd stay with him 'cause I think he's a keeper," he said. She smiled and kissed him again, delighting in the feel of his lips. She let go and pushed him back in order for her to walk to the living room, holding his hand in order for him to follow her. She laid down on the couch and beckoned for him to come with her. He settled onto her, making sure he didn't put his entire weight on her, despite being a light person. They kissed silently in the semi-dark room, the TV being the only light source. His hands were always on the sides of her chest along the ribcage while hers were around his neck.
After twenty-five minutes of passionately kissing the ended, Danny lying by her side nearest to the cushions. They were lying on their sides in a spooning position, his right arm wrapped around her waist and their legs entwined. He gently kissed the back of her neck as they slowly fell asleep.
(One hour later)
Gerald and June had got back home and were about to go to their rooms for the night when they saw Danny and Alicia on the couch. Gerald could barley contain his huge smile and June was smiling as well.
"It's about time," he said to his sister.
"Thank the gods I gave him that advice," said June.
"You know he's going to be goo-goo eyes for awhile," he said.
"I wouldn't have wanted it any other way," she said. "Come on, let's not wake them. They look way to peaceful to wake them up." They quietly went back to their rooms to get some sleep, but not before Gerald came back and snapped a picture with his camera phone.
Ten minutes later, Danny Sr. and Katie came back into the house, passionately kissing each other.
"You know I love it when you stand up for me," she said in between their fierce kissing. At the restaurant a guy had insulted her and tried to make off with her purse, to which Danny beat him senseless, receiving loud clapping and applause from the entire restaurant crowd.
"It's what I live for," he said. As they made their way to their room upstairs for a wild night of sex they saw their son and his just recent girlfriend on the couch, fast asleep.
"Are they finally..."
"I guess they are," said Katie. They looked as Alicia started moving in her sleep and turned to face Danny, kissing him subconsciously on his neck.
"That's so cute," said Katie. Danny continued to look proud at his son and picked up Katie bridal style.
"Now where were we?" he said. She kissed him and they didn't let go until they had made it to their bedroom and locked the door. From outside you could hear nothing since it was soundproof, but inside was another story.
Danny awoke from his slumber next to Alicia. Last night had felt like a dream, but he knew it had really happened, and he was not a bit ashamed of it in the slightest. He kissed her forehead lightly and got off the couch to go and use the bathroom, careful to make sure he got up as lightly and quietly as possible so that he didn't wake her up. He headed to the bathroom to go and do his business.
She woke up when she heard the toilet flush and the sink run, knowing that he was finished. She played like she was still asleep and waited patiently for him to get back. she heard his footsteps coming and felt as his body moved back onto the couch next to her, his arm going back around her waist. She kissed him fully and pulled him in closer to her. His arms wrapped around her and felt around her back, teasing her bra strap.
"Someone must have slept good," she said.
"How couldn't I?" said Danny. His right hand brushed on her neck, where he felt something he hadn't realized was there.
"You got a hickey near your collarbone," he said.
"I don't care. I'm just glad it was from you. It's like your way of saying I'm yours," she said.
"And no one elses," he said, pulling her as close as humanly possible. She snuggled up into his neck, lighting kissing his jaw.
"Danny, you don't have any secrets I don't know about do you?" she asked. Danny instantly froze. He knew mortals, unless they could see through the Mist, were suppose to know nothing about the world full of gods and monsters though they were living in it. It would be dangerous for her if she knew, so he did the only thing he could do, not tell.
"No, I don't," he said. "Do you?"
"None, except keeping what I told you last night," she said. He kissed her passionately on the lips, his arms wrapping around hers again. She sighed into his mouth and let him climb on top of her. They felt like they could stay like this forever.
"Well, well, well, you two look really cute together," said Gerald, looking from his spot from the entrance of the living room. Danny and Alicia got off each other, blushing violently.
"It's cool, don't stop on my watch," said Gerald, going back the way he came like nothing happened.
"Should we take this elsewhere?" said Danny.
"Your room," she said. She pulled him by his hand towards his room. She opened the door and he closed it behind him. She pulled him into her arms and kissed him. His arms went around her too and he and her lightly fell onto the bed, kissing each other sweetly and passionately. And they made out and cuddled all that morning.
That afternoon...
The Stones were about to eat some of Danny Sr.'s homemade pizza. It was only him, Katie, June, and Gerald at the table. Danny Jr. was nowhere to be seen. He and Alicia came out of the room, looking a lot happier than any of them had ever seen them.
The fact that Alicia and Danny were seeing each other was met with a lot of money going to people who bet that the two would go out one day and others who couldn't believe it finally happened. Now when ever they were seen together they were either holding hands and talking or lightly kissing and talking. Gerald would happily embarrass the two whenever, but they were oblivious to it, especially when Maria would come and tell an embarrassing fact about Gerald, much to his chargrin.
His parents had never seen him so happy before. sure he was a happy person most of the time, but now there was some kind of glow going on. He was so happy that he offered to help his mom clean the kitchen, which everyone knew he hated to do.
Alicia's parents were also aware that her best friend was now her boyfriend, and they had no problems with it, though they worried that all the time she was doing at his house was not something a parent imagines their child doing. Danny and her kept it to strictly touching and kissing. They had a conversation about sex, but they decided to wait a bit longer until they were at stage where they were totally into each other, or as Danny called it his 'parent's stage.'
June was also glad to see her little bro was with someone she knew wasn't one of those backstabbing girls she knew of all too well in her school. Even Seth thought it was nice. Harmonia was a bit iffy about a demigod dating a mortal who couldn't see through the Mist, but then she remembered Gerald's numerous ex's and thought at least they would be a couple she would expect to last a long time.
However, one person at school had one thing to say about it.
Danny and Alicia were hanging out by her locker, just talking regular to each other this time, when Alicia's stalker came up to her.
"Sup Alicia, girl you lookin' fine today. Drop this guy and hang out with a real thug," he said.
"Thanks, but I already found my man," she said, standing next to Danny.
"Him? The oreo?" he said, his tone making Danny simmer with anger.
"Yes. It's the 30's (Year 2000 wise). Racism is practically dead," she said.
"I'm not losing to a mulatto half-breed like h..." He never got to finish his sentence as Danny jumped up and kicked Greg with both of his legs, backflipping away as Greg was kicked away wth such force he fell to the floor with crash. Danny landed on both of his feet, looking like nothing happened. Thankfully there was only a few people in the hallway, and none of them were teachers. Greg was on the floor, trying to move, but he couldn't.
"Danny, how did you do that?" she asked, shocked at how fast and quick Danny had done that.
"You learn more than just improving reading English at camp," he said. He stepped over Greg and he and her walked to their first period class together.
"How come he can't move?" she said.
"It was two kicks to the chest and diaphragm simultaneously. It's a paralyzing hit. He won't be moving for another ten minutes," he said. Alicia was astonished, and a bit scared, but she knew Danny wouldn't hurt her in his life.
"Thanks for that, for helping me out of that," she said.
"Thank you too."
"For what?"
"For letting me do that," he said. She beamed and kissed him when she got to her class. Danny felt a hand on his shoulder.
"Good job bro, I see you and her doing well," said Gerald. Danny smiled up to him and left for his class, happy to be with the one he always wanted. Maria came up from the hallway, her eyes on the downed figure of Greg.
"What happened to him?"
"You wouldn't believe me even if I told you," said Gerald, taking her by the shoulder as they walked to their class together.
