ben-"sounds great"
ronnie-"well, will talk about some hours in the next couple of days see if we can arrange somthing" she placed the drinks down infront of danielle and ben
ben-"how much do i owe you?" ben put his hand in his pocket taking out his wallet
ronnie-"oh dont be silly, just keep that smile on her face...i'll be back soon just gonna freshen up for tonight" ronnie walked off into the back
danielle-"see she's not that scary" she giggled as she sipped her drink
ben-"i never said i was scared of her" he poked her
danielle-"i dont blame you if you were, i was when i first met her" she laughed
ben-"i'll tell her you told me that" he joked.
ronnie walked into the office to find jack on the computer.
jack-"danielle still hear?"
ronnie-"yeah her boyfriends with her"
jack-"good, we have some time to talk then"
ronnie-"forgoodness sake jack, theres nothing to talk about"
jack-"ronnie, i love you" he stood up and walked towards her "i know you feel the same"
ronnie-"and how do you know that, you dont know how i feel" she scoffed
jack-"because i know you" he took her hand.
ronnie-"i cant forgive you" she put her head down "you cant expect me to forgive you, and even if i do forgive you its not like i can ever forget, not with amy"
jack-"so thats it your gonna give up a chance of happiness, ron we belong tongether, i made a mistake a big mistake but i would never swap amy for anyone, the only thing i would wish to swap would be her mother"
ronnie-"yeah well, you cant can you" she backed away from him "i'd better go" she ran out of the office and into the toilets to freshen up her makeup
ben-"so why do you call her ronnie?" ben looked into his drink wanting to ask all sorts of questions
danielle-"just be wierd calling her mum" she smiled
ben-"but she is your mum"
danielle-"its just too soon, one day who knows but right now just doesnt seem right, i think she will find it wierd too"
ronnie-"ah, you finished the drinks?" ronnie walked behind the bar and reached for the empty glasses "the staff should be arriving soon, then we can go through to the back for a drink" she touched danielles hand "unless you guys wanna go off somewhere or go to the back now"
danielle-"im ok hear for the moment" she looked at her watched "should be getting busy soon though"
ben-"yep, im fine hear too" he smiled kindly at ronnie
ronnie-"i'll get you some more drinks then shall i? same again?"
ben-"actualy, would you mind if i had a beer, im no good with sprits" he laughed
ronnie-"one beer coming right up" she turned around to pull his pint
danielle-"we can go to the office if you would prefer" she whisperd
ben-"no, seriously im fine hear" he leaned in and kissed her just as ronnie turned around, he felt her eyes staring at him as he pulled away and blushed slightly
danielle-"come on" he jumped of the stool taking his hand "we can have more privacy there" she whisperd as ronnies attention was drawn away by punters entering the club "ronnie...ronnie" she piped as the music came on
ronnie-"yeah?" she squinted trying to lip read
danielle-"where going through to the back, can i have a glass of wine?" without saying anything ronnie took out a bottle of wine placed it into an ice bucked and handed it to danielle
ronnie-"glasses are in the office, i'll be in, in a bit" she smiled.
danielle and ben enterd the office finding it much more relaxed from the busy club outside
danielle-"take a seat" she pointed to the sofa as she grabbed two glasses and joined him "ronnie's coming in soon, she wants to get to know you"
ben-"cant you just tell her what im liked" he joked "she seems really nice but i cant help thinking im not good enough"
danielle-"ronnie's ronnie, once you get used to her, you will love her" she filled her glass "besides she's new to all this mum stuff and with roxy as a sister shes abit over protective when it comes to men" she giggled
ben-"roxy seems abit mad"
danielle-"a bit? she had a baby with ronnies ex boyfriend, not to mention being married to staceys brother at the time"
ben-"you serious?" he laughed "suprised ronnie and roxy even talk"
danielle-"there sisters, i think ronnie can forgive but she will never forget, prehaps thats why she worries about me so much i dunno, she knows what its like being hurt soo much"
ben-"she worries about you regardless, your her daughter" he touched her cheek
danielle-"you know this time last year i had nothing" she sighed "now i have everything, you, ronnie, a family" she gushed "life cannot be better"
ben-"danielle, i know you might think its too soon but i think im falling for you" she stared in her eyes
danielle-"i feel the same" she smiled before leaning in and kissing him softly on the lips
ronnie-"right im finally free" ronnie barged in catching them kissing once again "oh..sorry" she ruffled her hair as she grabbed a glass and topped herself "im sure they can manage without me" she smiled as she took a seat behind her desk "you having a good night?"
danielle-"yes thanks" she smiled "is stace in the club?" she sipped her wine
ronnie-"havent seen her, but then she usualy turns up around 12!" ronnie laughed "most people are drunk enough by then to buy her drinks"
danielle-"i dont know how she does it, sober too, could never have the nerve to ask random guys to buy me drinks"
ben-"ahem, excuse me i think the quote was ...get me a drink..sorry to be rude...please" he laughed "deffently that please that got you that drink"
danielle-"i dont think i needed anymore, after saying somthing like that"
ronnie-"me and rox once played a game in a club where we had to get as many drinks bought from men as we could and the one with the most cocktail straws at the of an hour would be the winner" she laughed "though i think i won hands down due to roxy getting one straw then going back to his"
danielle-"oh god, her and stacey are as bad as each other" she laughed
ronnie-" least were only related to one" she finished her wine "gonna top me up?" she pushed her glass out for danielle to pour
danielle-"i think were gonna need another bottle" danielle joked finished the rest of the wine into her glass
ben-"can i pleaseee buy it? i cant sit hear and drink all your profits" he laughed "i feel tight"
ronnie-"ok, if you really want to but it really isnt a problem besides i was putting it on jacks bill anyway"
danielle-"ronnie" she gaspsed
ronnie-"im joking"
ben-"right well i'll be back in a minute then" he said standing up and walking out the office
ronnie-"well you too seem very lovey dovey"
danielle-"yeah, i think this is going to go somewhere you no" she smiled
ronnie-"well aslong as he makes you happy im happy" she moved over to the sofa and sat next to her daughter "so is it love?"
danielle-"well i dunno, you came in the room" she said jokingly
ronnie-"woops, sorry...sooo do you love him?"
danielle-"i've never been in love, i wouldnt know, but i do know that i miss him when im not with him, i get excited when im see him and i think about him all the time"
ronnie-"i think thats what you deffently call being in love" she whisperd sweetly to danielle
danielle-"i cant belive how fast this has all happend"
ronnie-"well aslong as your being carefull and you happy why the need to take things slow?"
danielle-"being carefull?"
ronnie-"sex"
danielle-"were not having sex" she frowned "we havent had sex"
ronnie-"really?...sorry i just asumed, with you babysitting at his and stuff"
danielle-"and you wouldnt have an issue if we were"
ronnie-"your nearly 20" ronnie laughed "i had you at 14 i would be a hypocrate if i had a problem" she touched her face "as long as you dont get hurt, as long as you know what your doing, your in control of the realtionship and not to do anything you dont want too i dont have any issues, ben seems like a really nice guy"
danielle-"he is" she blushed "i think we just had are very first real mother and daughter chat"
ronnie-"i think your right" ronnie pulled her in for a hug "ohh, i cant belive i have a 20 year old daughter" she squeezed her
danielle-"couple more weeks left untill im 20 anyway" she laughed as she pulled away from ronnie "mum" she laughed as ronnies arms wouldnt let go
ronnie-"mum?" she pulled back "you havent called me mum"
danielle-"sorry it just sort of came out ... is it ok?"
ronnie-"i think were ready for that dont you?"
danielle-"i think we are too ...mum" she laughed. ben returned to the office placing the new bottle of wine into the ice bucket and sitting himself down on ronnies chair not wanting to moe ronnie away from her daughter.
