few days later and the party organising had gone to plan, around 10 friends were coming from telford, her nan and 2 of her auntys and uncles, ronnie agreed to move into the vic for the night to let her family have her flat.

ronnie-"now ben, you have the table booked for 7 yes?"

ben-"yep, all sorted, then get to the club for 8"

ronnie-"oh no, what if the food comes late or she wants dessert or coffee?" ronnie started to panic "change the table make it 6.30" she nooded

ben-"calm down will you, its all gonna be fine" he laughed "the more you worry, you wont even make the party, your be ill, or having a breakdown"

ronnie-"i just have so much to organinse with only two days left untill the party" she sighed "look i better go the showers stopped"

ben-"ok i'll see you later"

ronnie-"see you" she put the phone down just as danielle walked out of the bathroom

danielle-"who was that?"

ronnie-"oh, erm just roxy" danielle new she was lying "just telling me about amy sitting up on her own"

danielle-"didnt she do that the other day?"

ronnie-"you know what roxys like" she laughed it off "go and get dressed will you, i said i would treat you for breakfast not lunch"

they leave to go to the cafe for breakfast

ronnie-"you not hungry?" noticing danielle playing with her food

danielle-"just full thats all" she rested back in her chair

ronnie-"you hardly touched it, you feeling ok?"

danielle-"you know its my birthday in two days?"

ronnie-"yeah?"

danielle-"do you think dad will ring me, or send me card?"

ronnie-"im not sure hun" she sipped her coffee whilst trying to think of somthing to say next

danielle-"i have spent every single birthday with him, just be wierd thats all not seeing him, or even hearing from him"

ronnie-"im sure, even with everything that has happend he wont not do anything for your birthday" ronnie touched danielles hand

danielle-"and not that i dont want to spend it with ben but im upset you cant come for the meal too, what a random thing to hire a club out for yoga wasnt it"

ronnie-"yeah" ronnie couldnt belive she said somthing so stupid, yoga was the only thing that came into her mind when danielle asked why she couldnt make it for her birthday meal, she had to supervise the club for yoga sessions "but were spending the day together arnt we, and i will see you at home for a couple of drinks after the meal wont i?"

danielle-"i s'pose, sorry im acting really selfish, just wanted to spend it with everyone, also stacey is being really wierd too"

ronnie-"how so?"

danielle-"i asked her if she wanted to come round for a couple of drinks on friday for my birthday and she sort of just blanked me, i dunno maybe im just reading in to it"

ronnie-"look i no i cant do anything on the night but i will see you when you get in and were spending the whole day together, you and ben are going to have a lovely meal together im sure he will spoil you rotton"

danielle-"yeah" she smiled

ronnie-"well think of some suggestions for friday, what you wanna do, prehaps we can go shopping, get you a new dress for your meal?"

danielle-"yeah sounds good"

ronnie and danielle left the cafe danielle went round to bens whilst ronnie popped over to the vic

danielle-"mums just been acting really wierd for the past couple of day, like somthings on her mind, i have tried but she wont tell me, just keeps saying its fine" she lay on bens bed.

bens-"she has alot on at the club at the moment does she" he lay next to her "and what with that jack guy being in france, shes on her own"

danielle-"but i have offerd her my help" she sighed "i dunno, just feel like im being closed up on, even you, your acting strange"

ben-"thanks...look everything is fine" he rolled over and started kissing her trying to change the subject

danielle-"ben...come on, we have talked about this" she pulled back

ben-"hey, come on, were only kissing" he leaned in again

danielle-"im sorry, im just worried about ronnie, im gonna go"

ben-"you only been hear 5 minutes"

danielle-"i'll ring you later" she jumped off the bed

ben-"dan come on" danielle left the house and returned home to find ronnie in her bedroom

danielle-"right spill"

ronnie-"what?"

danielle-"i know somthing is going on, now tell me" she demanded

ronnie-"danielle i dont know what your talking about"

danielle-"ok, is it me, have i done somthing? your acting like you used to being secretive, not letting me in"

ronnie-"im not, im not like that anymore" ronnie started to raise her voice

danielle-"then tell me, please"

ronnie-"i just have alot on at the club"

danielle-"i have offerd my help, let me help you"

ronnie-"im sorry ok, im sorry everything will be fine when jack gets back" she smiled "sorry for being off with you, i didnt mean not to let you in, sorry if i made you feel like that"

danielle-"you promis me thats it?"

ronnie-"i promis" she walked over and kissed her head "now why dont you go freshen up, come and help me down the club, dawns called in sick"

danielle-"serious?"

ronnie-"yeah, go on" danielle left the room whilst ronnie got out her mobile to text ben.

close one, thought she rumbled us x

danielle-"right ready"

they left for the club, danielle helped clean up whilst ronnie gave orders to the other bar staff, danielle wasnt working in the cloke room, not the most exciting job but she was pleased she could help ronnie out, she smiled as she thought it was a step up from cleaning the toilets, somthing that she dreaded doing but was happy she could be close to ronnie.

ronnie-"hows it going" ronnie shouted over the music to a bored danielle

danielle-"yeah, ok, made about £15 in tips"

ronnie-"good for you, come on you can have a break, buy me a drink"

danielle-"actually i said i would ring ben, would you mind if i used your phone, my battery has died"

ronnie-"sure, its my my handbag in the office i'll bring you a drink in"

danielle-"thanks" she walked off into the office reached into the bag and pulled the phone out she read 1 message Ben, she frowned, she new she shouldnt read her mothers messages but why wouldhe boyfriend be texting her mother, she squinted as she pressed "read" trust me, she doesnt have a clue what were up too x" she sat down on the table reading the words over and over until ronnie broke her dream

ronnie-"you speak to him? dan? everything ok? sweetie you look like you have seen a ghost" she placed the drinks down and took her head "dan, baby whats wrong?"

danielle-"i new it, i new somthing was going on, but i didnt expect this, how long, its becuase i wont sleep with him isnt it" she threw her hands up "dont deny it"

ronnie-"what are you talking about?"

danielle-"you and ben?"

ronnie-"me and ben?"

danielle- "oh dont play dumb, when were you planning on telling me, my birthday, lovely"

ronnie-"well yes actualy"

danielle-"why would you be so crule"

ronnie-"crule? we thought you be please"

danielle-"pleased? i wanted you to get on, not be together" she choked

ronnie-"together?...danielle do you think me and ben are together?" she laughed

danielle-"well are you?"

ronnie-"no"

danielle-"i read the message he sent you, it all makes sense, its becuase .. becuase i wouldnt sleep with him isnt it, he's trying to hurt me, i understand that but you?"

ronnie-"danielle me and ben are not having an affair, i cant belive you would even think that"

danielle-"then explain the message?"

danielle-"sorry for ruining the suprise, i am" she kneeled next to ronnie "thank you for organising it for me" she could see the hurt in ronnies eyes "it will still be an amazing night, and i can act suprised still"

ronnie-"but its not a suprise though is it" she turned and smiled at danielle "not now"

danielle- "how about you dont tell anyone that i no, i wont tell anyone, so everyone else will think it is?"

ronnie-"i wanted to see your face when you walked in"

danielle-"and the first thing i would of done is walked up to you and given you the biggest hug"

ronnie-"no you wouldnt off, what about your guests" she nudged danielle

danielle-"i would of, i love my family, i love my friends but i would chose you over any of them anyday" she placed her arm around ronnies shoulders "so me and you are the only ones that can know about me knowing"

ronnie-"you better be a good actress"
