Danny and Jo had watched the first half of Mean Girls when Jo started to fall asleep. She didn't understand why she was so tired, but she was. Danny was already asleep next to her with his arms wrapped around her and his head laying on her shoulder. She looked at him and smiled. Jo didn't want to wake Danny up but she wasn't comfortable enough to sleep like this. She knew that she was going to have to readjust so that she could sleep.
Jo, taking in a deep breath because she knew she was going to accidently wake up Danny, started to slowly move. She was right. As soon as she started to move Danny started to wake up. His black hair wasn't messed up, even though he always wore it in a bun. He rubbed his eyes and then looked at Jo, and said with a hoarse voice, "Where are you going?"
She looked at Danny and softly smiled. "I'm not going anywhere." She said softly. "I'm just readjusting to get comfortable." She saw a smile form on Danny's face and she laid on her right side with her head on her pillow.
"Comfortable now?" Danny asked with a soft chuckle.
Jo then laid on her back and looked at him. "As comfotable as ever." She was happy to be with Danny, and she knew that they were going to start dating. They had already shared their first kiss, so it wouldn't be a shock to her if they started dating soon.
Danny smiled and laid his head on the pillow, wrapping his arms around Jo. She knew that this is where she wanted to be. For years, since she was 11 to be exact, she wanted to be somewhere else. She knew that anywhere but Green Grove was going to make her happy. Now an eighteen Jo was the happiest she had ever been, and she was still in Green Grove. Jo started to close her eyes, knowing that she was finally happy with how her life was at the moment. Jo slowly started to slip into a deep sleep.
The next morning Jo woke up about 8 and looked on the other side of her bed only to see that Danny was no longer laying beside her. Was she possibly just dreaming last night? Maybe nothing happened between her and Danny, and maybe Danny was still with Lacey. Jo let out a soft sigh and walked out of her room and walked to the steps. Jo was hungry, and she knew that her mom had probably already started fixing breakfast. Walking down the steps Jo didn't know fully what to think. She could have swore that it was real.
"Hey mom, what's for breakfast?" Joe asked as she put on a fake small smile.
Tess wasn't in the kitchen, she was sitting on the living room couch. "I don't know. Go see." She gave her daughter a smile and then continued watching the television.
Instead of giving her mother a smile, she wrinkled her forehead and started to walk into the kitchen. She didn't understand why her mom would say that. This is always the time that she is in the kitchen cooking breakfast, but today she was just sitting on the couch. Jo let out another sigh and walked into the kitchen. Someone was in the kitchen, but it wasn't her mom. Jo was shocked to see Danny standing in front of the stove.
"What are you doing here?" Jo asked as a soft smile started to form on her face.
"Well I thought I would fix everyone some of my famous pancakes. I made these for my mom a few weeks ago and she absolutely loved them. So they're not really famous, but they will be one day." Danny said with a soft smile. Jo walked up behind him and wrapped her arms around his back.
Jo smiled, knowing that last night must not have been a dream if Danny Desai was in her kitchen making breakfast. She was shocked that her mom didn't say anything about why Danny had spent the night. She planned on asking her whenever Danny left, if he was ever gonna leave.
"I can't believe you're cooking." Jo giggled. "I've never seen you at the stove before. I think the only thing I've ever seen you cook is popcorn and pizza rolls."
"Believe it or not, I am an excellent cook." Danny said with a smile as he pressed his lips on to Jo's forehead. "Mrs. Masterson, pancakes are ready. Will Mr. Masterson be eating with us or has he already left for work?"
Tess smiled. She was so proud of the manners that Danny had. "He had an early start to the day, so he won't be eating with us, but he wanted me to tell you that he appreciates what you are doing."
Jo smiled. She was glad that everything was finally starting to work out. "I'm going to lunch with Lacey today, just to let you know." She smiled at her mother. Tess was happy that Jo and Lacey were becoming best friends again. After all, she didn't want them to ever stop being friends in the first place.
