A/N: Again, guys I'm sorry that I'm taking so long. I'm still sick but I'm trying to push these out faster. I usually post it late at night 11-5am lol. So if you're a night owl, stay posted because I update almost every night at that time! Also, I need you guys to review some more. It helps when it comes to motivation. Thanks!

p.s. I like to do flashbacks but have only done them in my other fanfic, Another Slave, and usually don't let you know when it is a flashback. I did in this one, let me know if its something I should usually do.

Chapter 14

"JO?!" Lacey's eyes were wide with Panic, and her voice was in a hushed whisper.

"Yes! Jo! I told you she's crazy!" Danny harshly whispered back.

He ran a hand through his hair and then looked back at Lacey, eyes wide.

"Crap..."

"What?" Lacey felt terrified.

"She knows where the spare key is... I had to help her work on her dad's car once and needed her to leave the keys here and she found them..." He was looking away from Lacey now.

Of course, he had been lying through his teeth. Danny had been at the grocery store when Jo called, asking for a quicky.

*Flashback*

Why is milk so damn expensive over here.

Danny sighed and placed two gallons of milk into his basket, alongside the overly priced eggs and chicken breasts. He usually did the grocery shopping himself since his mother was too careless. He sighed again, his mother. His return to town created an uproar the second he got there, yet his mother acted like they had lived there all of their lives. She joined the PTA at school and pranced around, calling everyone 'sweetheart' and 'darling' like they were bestfriends. He scoffed.

She's something alright.

He walked down the aisle of open refrigerated shelves that held various greens, clutching his leather jacket to his torso and swearing his breath would be visible if he blew out air.

He was grabbing a bundle of cilantro when his cellphone let out a chirping sound. He was puzzled for a second, looking around to see if it was someone elses. But he was practically alone in the small store. It was an 'all organic' place so it was normal for it to be empty. Plus, it was almost thirty minutes out of town; twenty if you drove as fast as Danny did. He pulled out his phone and chuckled a bit, it had been his ringing. It was a new phone and he hadn't had any calls yet, so he didn't recognize the ringtone. He slid his thumb across the screen, automatically answering the call.

"Hello?" He said robotically, pulling some cucumbers into a plastic bag.

"Hey Danny. Guess who?" The female voice was drenched in seduction.

Danny quirked a brow and shrugged to himself, not really caring to play games with creepy strangers over the phone. He twisted the end of the bag shut and grabbed another to place tomatoes in.

"I don't know... The first lady of the United States?" He said the joke blandly, more in sarcasm than in humor.

The female laughed seductively, "Nope, try again."

Danny sighed this time, annoyed. It's probably one of the assholes from school who made fun of me.

"Look, I really don't have time for games. Tell me who you are or I'm hanging up." He said the words smoothly, not giving a hint of anger.

He twisted the bag of tomatoes and placed them in the cart, walking over to the pasta isle. His mother was notoriously known for making spaghetti when she was too lazy to cook. Which was always. He's probably starve if he didn't buy the pasta.

"Oh, well aren't you just a big ball of happiness." The woman laughed again, a bit more in amusement this time.

Danny sighed once more and chucked five boxes of spaghetti into the cart, along with 'red sauce' and 'white sauce' as his mother liked to call it. He made his way to the cashier and placed the items on the conveyor belt with one hand.

"Totally. Now are you going to tell me?" He continued to place items on the belt.

"It's Jo. I want to have fun tonight. More like right now actually." Her voice had gone from seduction to business.

A smirk tugged at his lips. "Fun, huh? What kind of fun?"

"Naked fun. Now can I come over or not?" She sounded rushed.

Danny pondered on the thought of having his childhood bestfriend's naked body wrapped up in his sheets and him. He smiled a bit.

Shes treated me like shit... I'll just have my fun.

Danny grinned and bit his lip, pulling out his mothers credit card from his wallet and handing it to the small cashier woman, who seemed to squeak when her hand touched Danny's. He flashed her a smile and then went back to Jo.

"Sure. I'm not home but I will be in twenty minutes. Go over now, my moms out of town for the day. The spare key is in a special pocket in the carpet. See you later." He hung up the phone and placed the grocery bags in the cart, reaching for the credit card.

"Thank you." He smiled at the woman.

"Oh.. Your-You're welcome. Have a nice day!" She was obviously flustered.

"You too." Danny's voice lowered an octave and he winked at her, walking out. Danny chuckled to himself once he put away the bags and sat in his car. Most woman that didn't know him seem to fawn over him. He gave himself a mental pat on the back.

He pulled out of the parking lot and made his journey back home. The ride full of anticipation for what was waiting for him at home.

*End of Flashback*

"Well that's not creepy!" Lacey whispered sarcastically.

A soft knock was heard on the door. Danny turned to Lacey a pressed a finger to his lips, gesturing for her to hide under the bed. Once she crawled under she noticed he had built a sort of barrier under there. Then she remembered he had done it when his parents started to fight, he would slide in and pull the wooden walls down, only leaving a small rectangular slot to look out of with a wooden piece of would you could use to cover the slots. Danny pulled the walls down and left the slot facing the door half uncovered.

"Danny?" Jo called out for him and Lacey had the urge to groan at her needy voice.

She watched his walk to the door and pull it open. Jo walked in and hugged him tight, pulling back to place a soft kiss to his lips. She pulled away and smiled. Lacey felt jealousy start to consume her, but shook it away.

"Hey babe. Miss me?" Jo walked past Danny and flopped onto the bed. Lacey squeezed her eyes shut, waiting for the bed to cave in on her, but sighed in relief when it didn't even budge. She watched Lacey's hand come down to the side of the floor where the slot was. Lacey held her breath, but let it go when she saw she was just dropping her phone and keys. She closed the slot just in case.

She heard Danny walk to the bed and stop in front of the slot.

"What are you doing here?" Danny sounded bored.

"What do you mean?" Jo asked. Lacey could only imagine she had given him an annoyed face by the tone of her voice.

"Why are you here? You said you were busy today." Danny's voice felt restrained.

They talked yesterday?... The were going to meet today? What?!

"My plans sort of... ran away." Jo chuckled.

Lacey gasped. SHE MEANS ME!

She heard the bed creak as Jo sat up and threw a hand over her mouth.

"What was that?" Jo asked skeptically.

"What was what?" Danny asked her nonchalantly.

"That... that sound... Is someone else in here?!" Jo got off the bed and Lacey heard her boots shuffle around the room, various doors being pulled open.

"You're fuckin' psycho Jo. No ones here." Danny sat on the bed and chuckled.

"Mhmm. Sure. Whatever. Why was your door locked when I got here?"

"I was getting changed." Danny was calm.

"Really? But your moms not home. Why would you lock the door?"

"Because she left while I was here."

"You seem to have all the answers."

"And you, dear psycho, seem to have all the questions."

It was silent for a while but Danny broke the silence.

"We need to talk..."
