danielle-"what happend, what made him react like that" danielle pulled away from her mother confused "it was all going so well"

ronnie-"he started asking questions, im sorry, he started asking why i gave you up" she tried to comfort her daughter by stroking her arm "he will come round"

danielle-"what if he doesnt though, i've hurt him so much coming hear"

ronnie-"then he is just as bad as me if he doesnt, letting you down"

danielle-"i new this wouldnt just be happy familys, i was so stupid to make myself belive it could be" she rubbed her forehead

ronnie-"hey, hey look at me" she gabbed her head in her hands "we dont need any body else ok, we have each other, you have me" she pulled her daughter in for a hug as she cried on her shoulder.

the next few days danielle moped around the house in silence, the only time she would really talk was hen ben called her, she was ignoring her fathers calls and ronnie was getting worried about her.

ronnie-"any plans for tonight?"

danielle-"no"

ronnie-"well i have some work i need to do own the club i doubt i will be back to the early hours, have a hen night coming should be fun" she smiled

danielle-"nice"

ronnie-"why dont you just answer his call? hear him out?"

danielle-"im scared"

ronnie-"of what?"

danielle-"incase he makes me leave"

ronnie-"you an adult, its your choice its your descison, you could move to the other side of the world if you wanted and neither me or him could do anything"

danielle-"he will try and poison me against you"

ronnie-"dont let him, you know how much i love you, you know the real me" she took her hand "look why dont you come to the club with me tonight"

danielle-"oh, i said i would meet ben tonight...if thats ok?"

ronnie-"you dont need permission, well bring him down the club too"

danielle-"no offence but i dont want you there on all are dates" she smile

ronnie-"alright, well wherever he takes you get him to drop you off at the club see if i can get off early also i think i need to apoligize to him"

danielle-"we'll see" she ate her toast.

danielle looked at her relfection, wishing she had more style, more confidence like her mother, she wished she could see herself in ronnie, she slipped on a pair of jeans and a loose top and made her way to the empty living room and picked up her phone 3 messages.

"have a goodnite sweetie, i'll miss you xxx"

"B ther in 10 mins cnt wait 2 c u xxxxx"

"im outside xx"

danielle grabbed her back and her jacket and ran out of the house

danielle-"hello again" she walked up to him as he kissed her on the cheek "dont worry ronnies not in" he smiled "and she says shes sorry for the way she reacted the other night" danielle looked down in embrassment.

ben-"no worries, you have told me a million times on the phone" he took her hand "fancy going to watch a movie then, or we could grab some dinner, then i was thinking maybe go to this club around the corner, RnR? i think its called" danielle laughed "whats so funny?"

danielle-"RnR...ronnie and roxy, its ronnies club"

ben-"your mum owns a night club?" danielle nooded "thats quality" he smiled as he started walking with her "so dinner?"

danielle-"yeah, why not".

ben-"i bet you get loads of free drinks being the daughters boss"

danielle-"dont really go in there much, ronnie's always busy working and stacey well shes always off with guys" she took a sip of her wine

ben-"even so must be pretty cool"

danielle-"so tell me more about you i seem like you no alot about me and my family"

ben-"i live in a standerd house with my mum and dad, dog and two brothers"

danielle-"dog comes before the brothers?" she laughed

ben-"trust me there 3 year old twins, the dog is easier"

danielle-"yeah you too" she looked to the floor she felt his hand touch her chin bringing her face up to face him and leaned up and kissed him, a passionate kiss that lasted more then it should whilst standing on a street.

ben-"what times your mum back?"

danielle-"soon" she lied "sorry"

ben-"maybe next time then" he sounded dissapointed as he leaned in and kissed her again, danielle wanted him to come in but she couldnt lie to ronnie, she felt likeshe was disowning her "your so amazing" ben whisperd

danielle-"i really like you" he kissed her again

ben-"i really like you too" he leaned in one more time and placed a gentle kiss on her lips "i'll call you tommorrow"

danielle-"i'll speak to you tommorrow then" he kissed her as her walked off, danielle felt warm inside she wanted to jump around screaming, she waited untill he was out of site before walking around the corner to the club. "is ronnie about" she shouted at jack over the music he pointed to the office, danielle knocked on the door whilst she waited for a responce "hello"

ronnie-"hey you, how'd it go then?" danielle blushed "ohhh well then"
