Chapter 9

Lacey led Danny into her room and slammed the door shut.

"You can sit where ever. I don't mind." She gestured at the room and then picked up the remote and threw it at him.

"Uhm, I don't watch the TV much but you can just flip around until I'm ready."

Danny caught it with ease and smiled at her. "Alrighty."

Lacey grabbed her towel and went to her bathroom. She undressed, tying up her hair, and turned on the water, feeling to see if the water was hot. Once it was to her preferred temperature she climbed in and let the hot water run down her back. It burned at first but she didn't care. Eventually she became accustomed to the heat and began to relax. She picked up her bottle of body wash and noticed it was empty.

Shit... I left the new bottle on my night stand...

She bit her lip and wondered if to ask Danny to bring it to her. She couldn't stand not being clean and decided to risk it. She took a deep breath and called him.

"Danny!" she yelled

Danny looked at the door to the bathroom with a funny face. He walked over and peered in.

"Lace? Did you call me?"

"Uhm, yeah.." She peered out of the shower, hugging the curtain close to her to cover her body.

"Could you get me the bottle of body wash on my night stand?" She smiled at him sheepishly.

He gave a slight chuckle, "Yeah sure."

He walked back to her room and grabbed the bottle that said 'Rose Petals and Lavender"

He laughed at the frilly name and walked back to the bathroom.

"Here, Lace."

She poked her head out and smiled, "Thanks a million."

Danny mumbled a response and walked out. He sat on her bed and continued watching tv, but he couldn't shake the view of her in the shower. He only got to

Lacy is so hot..

"What was that?"

Lacey walked into the room, her skin still glistening but fully dressed. She was smiling at him.

"It's kind of hot in here. From the uhm shower and the uhm... oven." he tried to sound nonchalant but he kept tripping over his words.

Lacey laughed and sighed, hanging her towel up on the hook behind her door. She plops down next to Danny on her king sized bed.

"So, watch are you watching?" Lacey stares up at the tv.

"Nothing really... Just flipping through the channels." He smiles at her

She smiles back and starts twirling a piece of her hair. Danny glances at her and notices she not wearing her new clothes.

"Lacey?"

"Yeah?"

"How come you're not wearing the clothes you bought today?"

Lacey looked down at her silk pajama shorts and her white tank top and giggled.

"Actually... I decided maybe we could just stay up here and watch movies?" She smiled up at him.

He swiped his thump across her cheeked and smiled at her, "Sure."

"Alrighty, I'm just gunna run downstairs and let my mom know. Im gunna grab popcorn and some soda. Be right back!" Lacey hopped off the bed and ran downstairs.

Danny smiled at the door and sighed contently. He was happy to be with Lacey. His was leaning back against her dark blue pillows when his phone started to vibrate.

It was Jo.

Jo: What the fuck are you doing with Lacey?

Danny: What does it matter to you?

Jo: Because she's my bestfriend.

Danny:Bullshit. Try again.

Jo:Because I don't want you near her.

Danny: And why is that?

Jo: BECAUSE SHE'S MINE YOU ASSHOLE.

Danny: That's a funny joke. Explain it to me?

Jo: I. Want. Lacey. And. I. Will. Have. Lacey.

Danny: Nice try using the periods for enthusiasm but it just makes it seem like you have asthma ;)

Jo: Shut the fuck up Socio. I want Lacey.

Danny: She's mine.

Jo: Not for long. I'm gunna make sure she hates you.

Danny: Back off.

Jo didn't text back. Danny huffed and threw his phone on the night stand.

"Someone looks grumpy" Lacey teased as she walked in with a tray of popcorn, sandwiches, drinks, sauces, and candy.

"And someone looks like they brought over too much food." he chuckled and grabbed the tray from her, placing it on his lap.

Lacey smiled and shook her head.

"Don't try to change the subject! Why are you so grumpy?"

"Im not grumpy?"

Lacey pouted her lips, "Tell me? Pretty please?" And she batted her eyelashes.

Danny stared into her eyes and noticed she wasn't wearing make up. He cupped her cheek with his hand and smiled.

"Lace, you didn't put on make up."

Lacey looked down and felt herself blush.

"Well... I just... Does it look bad?" She bit her lip and Danny almost groaned.

"No no no! Im just glad you're that comfortable with me." Danny smiled at her lowered his lips to hers, give her a quick kiss.

Lacey returned the kiss, sighing contently when they pulled away.

"So, about them movies!" Danny nudged Lacey with his elbow.

"Oh yeah! I have Netflix." She looked around the room.

"Crap, I left it in the car." She sighed and started to get off the bed but Danny grabbed her wrist and pulled her back down into the bed.

She fell over and landed in his lap. "Uhmm... Danny?" She laughed

He leaned down and kissed her hard. Lacey returned the kiss, deepening it. Danny pulled away and Lacey looked up at him was a playful frown.

Danny chuckled, "I'll get for you, babe."

Lacey blushed at the term of endearment. "Okay, thanks." She smiled

Danny got up from the bed and picked up her keys and kissed on the nose before walking out.

Lacey sighed happily and layed back on her pillows, lazily flipping channels and munching on some popcorn.

Suddenly she heard a vibration. She looked over at her night table and noticed Danny had left her phone. She shrugged it off and kept watching tv. But the vibrations continued, and her curiosity got the best of her. She bit her lip and reached over and grabbed Danny's phone. Deciding she didn't want to get caught she locked her bedroom door and sat in the bathroom.

She opened his text messages.
