Jo's heartbeat began to speed up, and she was terrified that Danny could hear it. To her it felt as if her heart was going to pound out of her chest. The same sparkle that she had seen in Danny's eyes earlier had returned. Not caring what the sparkle meant, she knew that the right thing to do was to fight the feelings that she had for him.
"Jo I have to tell you something, but I don't know how to tell you." Danny said as he stopped looking at Jo and focused on the ceiling again.
Jo looked at her friend that was laying beside her and wondered what he had to tell her. They always told each other everything so it didn't make since why he couldn't tell her this. "Danny, you can tell me anything. You know that. You've always been able to tell me everything."
Danny closed his eyes, and Jo could see that he was fighting with himself on rather to tell her or not. In a way Jo felt bad because she had felt like Danny couldn't tell her everything. Maybe there was a reason he couldn't tell her everything though. Maybe he had killed someone else besides Vikram. Danny really wasn't the killing type of person though. Even when he was spending time in juvie, Jo knew that it seemed odd for Danny to kill his aunt.
Danny opened his eyes and leaned on his side, facing Jo. Not saying anything, he just looked at her. "Danny, you can tell me-" Before Jo could finish she was stopped by her friend. A buterfly feeling filled her stomach, and she felt Danny's warm, soft, pink lips against hers. What was going on? Why was he kissing her?
Jo softly pushed him away and then looked at him. "Danny, what are you doing?"
"Jo, I'm in love with you. I know it's not right because Lacey is your best friend and we just broke up, but you have to understand that the breakup was a mutual decision. She told me that she was in love with another man, and so I told her that I was in love with another girl. Look, I know that you like me. I can tell. When we were dancing at Fall Fest two years ago I could tell that you had feelings for me. We have to strong of a connection. I can't hide how I feel anymore and I don't want you to." Jo didn't know if this was some joke or if this was the truth, but she knew that Danny would never hurt her on purpose. Without taking another second to think about it, Jo wrapped her arms around Danny's neck and pulled him back to her. She softly smiled as they resumed kissing.
She was sure that her heart was going to pound out of her chest now. How could it not? She had liked Danny for the longest time, and now the man that she dreamed about almost every night was laying in her bed kissing her.
Danny Desai lowered his hands to her waist and would move her waist up and down. This was something that Jo Masterson had dreamed about for the longest time. She had already lost her virginity, but she knew that if her and Danny had sex it would still be special.
Jo's breathing started to get off track as she parted from Danny's lips. "Danny- we have to go down for dinner soon. It's almost six, and that's when we always have dinner." She felt stupid for disturbing this beautiful moment that she thought would never come, but the last thing she wanted was for her mom, or worse, her dad to walk in and see them making out on her bed.
Danny knew that Jo didn't want her parents finding them like this, so he softly pressed his lips against hers, and then took his hands off of her hips. "I understand." Danny said with a small smirk as he got off of the bed.
"Wait, so you're in love with me?" Jo asked as if everything that he had said just clicked in his head.
All Danny did was nod, and right when he was about to talk Jo's mom called up the steps saying that dinner was ready. They couldn't be late to dinner, so instead of saying what he was gonna say he smirked and motioned for them to go down to eat dinner.
