Chapter 5:

She got Daisy in her favorite dress and did her hair and makeup. Then drove her to Olive Garden where they went inside and met up with Mickey and Donald who had already gotten a table.

"Hi Donald," Daisy said coldly.

"Hi Daisy," he said just as coldly. "So I heard you miss me."

"I heard you miss me."

"Ha! What a laugh!"

"So you don't miss me?" She said angrily.

"If you're talking about your constant bitching then no, I don't."

She glared at him. "You Donald Duck are the most hateful jerk I've ever met in my life!"

"Right back at ya toots!"

Mickey and Minnie looked at each other nervously. This was not what was supposed to be happening.

"Come one you guys, you're supposed to be making up," Mickey said.

"I wouldn't make up with him if my life depended on it!" Daisy grabbed her purse and stood up ready to leave.

Minnie jumped in front of her. "You're not going anywhere! You two love each other and you know it! Enough with this stubborn fighting!"

"Don't you remember why you got together in the first place? How you got together?" Mickey said. "We were all there, we all know how much you loved each other back then and how much you still love each other now."

They had been on the ship for a week. They were having the time of their lives. The ship had a water park, fancy dinners every night, movies, dancing, you name it. They did everything and went to bed exhausted and ready for more the next morning.

They had been at the pool late at night. There was a band playing by it that they went to see and it was spectacular.

By the end of the performance it was late and they all retired to their first class rooms below the deck.

Donald and a Daisy ended up going down together and stopped just below the stairs.

Goofy and Sylvia danced past them laughing and stumbling and nearly falling down the last few stairs. Clearly they were drunk but they were having too much fun to care.

"My god guys," Donald said shaking his head at how ridiculous they were.

"Don't drink any more!" Daisy told them.

"We'll drink all. We. Want," Sylvia said.

"Come on Sylvia, I want to give you something," Goofy said.

"What is it?!" She said excitedly.

"It's a surprise."

"It's his dick!" Donald said. He and Daisy broke down laughing.

"Shhh! Don't tell Sylvie!" Goofy said before closing the door to their room behind him.

"They're crazy," Daisy said laughing.

"Those two of all people should really lay off the alcohol," Donald said.

Daisy giggled. "Well, I guess I'll see you tomorrow."

"Yeah, see ya."

But neither of them left. Instead they moved closer to each other, hearts beating fast. They knew they shouldn't, they really shouldn't, but they wanted to and they both knew it.

They kissed very passionately. It was a relief, it was like they had been waiting to do this for so long. Finally inhibitions were gone. Daisy wrapped her arms around his neck. Donald held her close to him, touching her everywhere, taking in everything he'd wanted for such a long time.

As he kissed her neck she ran her hands through his hair full of desire for him. She didn't want to go back to Robert. This was what she wanted. She couldn't hide it anymore.

Things were starting to go far. That's when she realized...what was she doing?! She was engaged! She'd been with Robert for years. And here she was about to go to Donald Ducks room!

Reluctantly she pulled away from him. It nearly caused her physical pain to have to do it. He tried to go back in but she stopped him.

"What's wrong?" He said confused.

"I can't do this," she said breathlessly. She tried to walk away but he stopped her.

He couldn't let her leave. They had gone this far already. The only thing in the world that he wanted was for her to stay. "Daisy, I love you."

Her eyes filled with tears. "I know, I love you too. But I can't. I'm sorry." She ran across the hall to her room before she could change her mind.

*WW*

The next morning she was sitting with Minnie and Sylvia after breakfast. Minnie noticed Daisy was being quiet and usually she was the most talkative out of all of them.

"Why are you so quiet today?" Minnie asked.

"You're going to think I'm insane," she said.

"No we won't. What's wrong?" Sylvia said.

"I made out with Donald!" Daisy finally admitted.

"Whoa what?!" Sylvia exclaimed.

"Why?! When?!" Minnie said just as shocked.

"We were about to go to bed last night and we were talking and...I don't know, it just kind of happened."

"Wait, what kind of making out was this?" Sylvia asked.

"Everything," Daisy said. "I was this close to going to bed with him."

"But what about Robert?" Minnie asked.

"I don't know Minnie," Daisy said feeling so distressed and conflicted. "This is why I kept putting off the wedding. Something about it didn't feel right. And then last night with Donald...it felt so real. I felt like this was what I've been missing. But I don't know what to do."

"You need to break it off with Robert," Minnie said.

"Now hold on," Sylvia said. "Let's not be too hasty."

"Clearly she loves Donald."

"But is this love or lust? We were all drinking last night, you saw how me and Goofy were acting. Are you sure this is how you really feel? You've been with Robert for such a long time, just think about it for a while."

Daisy just nodded. Sylvia was right. It could have just been the booze talking. But at the same time, deep down, she knew she meant what she said when she said she loved Donald.

Meanwhile, Donald, Mickey, and Goofy were having the same conversation. Robert went to go find Daisy and Donald felt like this was the perfect time to find out what to do from Mickey and Goofy.

"Good, he's gone," Donald said after Robert left.

"Why did you want him to leave?" Mickey asked.

"Because I made out with Daisy last night."

Mickey and a Goofy gasped. "Was it good?" Goofy asked.

"It was amazing. I love her you guys. But I don't know if she still wants to marry Robert."

"Just ask her," Mickey said.

"It's not that easy!"

"It doesn't have to be complicated. You're never going to find out if you don't talk to her."

"And what if she decides not to marry Robert after all?" Goofy said. "Then again, she could go through with the engagement and leave you in the dust..."

"That's not helping!" Donald exclaimed.

"Look, you're never going to find out how she really feels about you if you don't talk to her Donald. Trust me," Mickey said.

*WW*

Donald decided Mickey was right. He did need to talk to Daisy, it was the only way he would be able to set things straight. If not it would haunt him for the rest of his life.

That afternoon he found Daisy on the deck standing by the edge of the boat looking deep in thought. Donald came over to her. "Hi."

She jumped when she heard his voice. When she saw him her heart beat fast. "Hi."

"I wanted to talk to you."

"Okay."

"I really do love you," he said. "And about last night..."

She wouldn't make eye contact with him and was fiddling with her bracelets nervously. "It wasn't...it wasn't supposed to happen but..." She looked into his eyes. Piercing gray eyes that she couldn't ignore. "But I..." She found that they were both moving closer to each other. "I love you too."

Again she couldn't fight it. She wrapped her arms around him and began to kiss him again, just the way they did last night. He held her close to him feeling overcome with relief after the validation that last night was actually real.

She rested her head on his shoulder and they held each other for a few minutes under the night sky. Then she remembered Robert again. She pulled away from Donald but this time didn't leave. Instead she looked into his eyes again. How could she possibly love him more?

"You don't have to marry him," Donald said.

"But I've been with him for such a long time..."

He put his forehead on hers. "Who do you love more?"

There wasn't even a question in her mind. She put her hands on his face and kissed him again. "You." He kissed her lips and her face and her neck. She sighed. "I love you so much."

They spent the night out together, away from their friends who were having fun in the casino. After a while they found themselves in Donald's room. With the door locked and only the bedside lamp on they lay on the bed with the sounds of kisses and moans filling the room.

He started to pull her dress off but she stopped him. "I want to make love to you Daisy." He surprised himself. With anyone else it was just sex but with her it was special. It was making love to her.

"I'm still engaged," she said still feeling conflicted.

Donald let go of the dress. He loved her and he wanted her, but he wouldn't make her if she didn't want to. Instead he lay next to her and held her. "When did you know you loved me?"

She smiled. "Honestly...back when I first got engaged. I shouldn't have gone through with it, I should have been with you. But I thought it was what I wanted at the time. When you left the engagement party I really didn't want you to go."

"You should have said something."

"Why didn't you say anything?"

"You were fucking engaged what was I supposed to do?"

"Haven't you ever seen a movie? The guy gets down and begs for the lady to be with him and then she breaks off the engagement."

He snickered. "Well I like this better, just wish it had happened sooner. When are you going to break off the engagement?"

She hesitated. "I don't know."

"You're not going to get married still, are you?" He said trying to hide how worried he was.

She smirked and rolled him over to sit on top of him. "How could I after all this?"

"You could just be leading me on," he said with an equally teasing smirk.

"Because I'm a horrible person right?"

He chuckled. "Well, not entirely."

She glared at him. "Entirely?!"

"You're really beautiful when you're angry."

A soft smile touched her face. She leaned down and kissed him again just as lovingly as before. He ran his hands up the silky skin of her legs, up to her panties where he rubbed how wet they were becoming, and finally grabbed the hem of her dress again which he proceeded to lift. This time she didn't stop him.

"I'm sure if you search deep down you'll find those feelings again," Minnie said. "We've seen you two through everything and you always got back together before. Are you going to let a broken vase and a few hurtful words get in between what you fought for in the first place?"

Donald and Daisy looked at each other for a moment. As they looked at each other they saw what they did when they first met, when they realized they loved each other, when they first kissed on that cruise ship, and everything else.

Daisy sat back down and Donald reached out and held her hand.

"They're right. This is silly, you know?" Daisy said.

"I'll always love you," Donald said looking into her beautiful green eyes. "Even if you are really insufferable."

She glared at him. "Donald..."

He smirked. "You're still beautiful when you're angry."

She couldn't stay mad at him, she never could then and she couldn't now. "Come here you jerk." They reached out to each other and kissed each other.

"Looks like our work here is done," Mickey said. He took a Minnie's hand and they decided to leave their friends alone for the night. They seemed like they would be okay.

"I'm glad they're back together," Minnie said. "I always knew they were meant to be together."

"Yeah same here. I just wish I still had my cheesecake!" Mickey said still bitter about earlier that day.

Minnie giggled and wrapped her arms around her husband. "How about we go get you some more cheesecake baby?"

His face lit up. "Can we get it with extra cheese?"

She kissed his lips. "We'll get as much cheese as you want."
