They had quickly packed a bag and jumped on a metro to the coast. They were going to Severn beach. They had rock pools which Danny had loved exploring as a child. They had a backpack full of spare clothes and towels. They strolled along the promenade hand in hand. Watching the people on the sand.

"I love you so much you know." he said and nudged her with his shoulder as they walked.

She grinned. "Well I love you too!" she said and nudged him back. They stopped and gave each other a light kiss.

"Oooo an arcade!" she said and dragged him across. "I bet I win something before you!" she said playfully.

"Ok I take the bet but I'm using my own money. What sort of boyfriend would I be if I took money off my girlfriend for a bet!" he said in disgust. He saw her eyeing a brown dog with soulful brown eyes. It had a smaller dog on it's back. It was looking up at the pup and the pup had a happy puppy look on its face. It was really cute he thought. He played many games and finally won enough tickets . He then swapped them in while she went to the bathroom. He waited for her outside and said I got something. He then presented it to her with a flourish. "Will you adopt me Alice?" he asked in a Scooby Doo dog voice.

"You won it for me?" she squealed and jumped up and down and kissed his cheek. He smiled down at her.

"I was going to christen the dogs Danny and Alice but no." she said laughter in her voice.

They then went on the shows. They raced the go karts numerous times and finally settled on a draw. They'd went on the waltzer. And then the rollercoaster Alice hadn't screamed until the big drop she grabbed his arm and hung on for deal life. She screamed at the top of lungs as they fell. As they got off she said something and he'd joked.

"Say it my other ear you deafened this one."

"Hey!" she said.

She'd grinned and pulled him on the dodgems and ended up getting a car which went backwards. He of course hit her at every opportunity.

"Mean!" she shouted. "I'm helpless here!"

He laughed so hard as she spun in a circle. "Just trying to help you move Hun!"

They climbed off.

"Thank you Daniel for my whiplash!" she told him.

"No bother darling." he said and kissed her.

"I'm hungry!" she declared.

"Grab a pew, I'll get us something to eat!" he said. "What do you want?"

"Whale and chips with plenty of salt and vinegar." she replied.

"Dinners on me!" he giggled as he ran away so she couldn't give him any money. His mum had left him plenty of money so he didn't know why she insisted on paying for stuff.

Alice sat on a bench on the promenade. Her back to the sea. Her face was back towards the sky and her eyes were closed. Her thoughts wandered to her mum. She had loved days like this, she used to say sunny days in the UK should be classed national holidays because they happened so infrequently.

"Hey gorgeous you got the time?" a boy asked.

She checked her phone.

"10 past 3." she said.

"Didn't really want to know the time. Just wanted to strike up a conversation with a stunning young girl. You shouldn't be alone it's a crime!" he said.

Alice looked around and then said. "Where's the stunning young girl?" she asked.

"Modest too - I like that in my girlfriends." he told her.

"Sorry taken. Got a handsome boyfriend already." she said.

"O well my loss!" he said and walked away.

Danny walked towards her. "Who was that?" he asked.

"Some Romeo trying to chat me up." she said.

"You tell him you had a boyfriend." he asked.

"No, got a date next week." she said seriously.

Danny's face looked shocked. "Joke!" she laughed. "All my time is devoted to my thoughts of you!" she said.

"God save!" he replied.

"I though so too!" she said and giggled.

"Here is your whale madam." and handed her a box.

"Christ your not joking either. Where the hell am I supposed to put that." she asked looking at the box.

"I have a few suggestions!" he said snidely.

"Not one more word!" she said and dug in. He sat and put his arm around her waist and rested his box on his knee. He picked up a piece of her fish.

"Hey!" she said and pinched a bigger piece of his back.

That was how they ate their meal.

Alice looked at her empty fish and chip box and smiled contentedly. Danny was awe struck. "God you were hungry!" he said shocked.

"Yeah, and I have a weakness for fish and chips. Lets get an ice cream!" she said and smiled.

He went and got 2 ice creams. "I don't know why but your trying to fatten me up!" he said.

She wiggled her eyes evilly. "Your on to my dastardly plan!" she said and laughed.

"How bout we go on the sand?" he asked when they finished their ice creams.

"Oooo we can build sand castles!" she said sarcastically.

"I dunno bout you but I'm building a fort with a moat!" he said and grinned.

"Oh we didn't bring our buckets." Alice shrugged her shoulders. "Shame!"

Danny pretended to have a tantrum and stamped his foot. "I wanna bucket!" he said and smiled.

They got funny looks from passers by. "He's a little crazy!" she said with a serious face and wiggled her finger next to her head with nodding. She grinned widely.

"Yeah about you!" he said and pulled her in his arms for a kiss.

"Let's get on the sand before we get in trouble!" she laughed.

They walked down the stairs and onto the sand.

"Tides coming in if you wanna look in the rock pools we'd better have a look in them now!" he said.

"Na am not bothered!" she said playing she knew he was dying to get in them. They walked over the bits of rock and stone to get into the rockpools. Her foot slipped into a little pool of water and shrieked. She pulled her foot out and shouted. "Ew seaweed between my toes!" and shook her foot.

Danny was laughing. "Careful where you put ya feet. Crabs live in here!" he said and she stopped.

"Ya mean they could snap my toes if I go near them?" she asked.

"Yeah an it hurts like a bitch if they get ya!" he said.

"Oh great seaweed AND crabs!" she said and smiled.

They explored the rock pools. Danny was like an excited child jumping from one to the other. They found plenty of shells, willicks and of course seaweed. He even found a pretty multicoloured stone which he gave to her. "Look Alice." he whispered and pointed. A little black crab came out from it's hiding place. They watched it scuttle across the sand.

"That was the crab what was gonna snap my toes?" she asked in disgust.

"Hey they hurt!" he said.

They walked across the rocks to the sand. "I'm not enjoying this seaweed like! It's just too slimy!" she exclaimed. They were walking over the sand when Danny suddenly hoisted her over his shoulder.

"Danny what are you doing?" she shrieked. "Watch your stitches!" she yelled.

"I'm having fun and my stitches are fine!" he ran towards the sea.

"Danny don't you dare!" she yelled kicking her legs and wiggling trying to get free. "No Danny it's…"

He suddenly dropped her into some deep water her head submerged. She regained her footing and she emerged coughing and spluttering

"O Trevanion you are so dead!" she said and dived on him. Danny not anticipating the jump fell backwards into the water when she landed on him. They rose out of the water and started splashing each other. They were laughing and panting when suddenly Danny went serious.

"Alice, there's something in your hair!" he said. "Don't move!" he whispered.

Danny tried to suppress his smile he knew what was in here hair. She was frozen in place "It's a jellyfish or a crab or something isn't it?" she asked worriedly.

He pulled it off her hair and threw it at her.

"AH!" she screamed and ran a few feet. She saw seaweed lying in the water.

"It was seaweed!" he told her laughing. "Aw Alice ya too easy!" he said.

She ran after him in the water laughing as they went.

It was 6:00. They visited the arcade again before the went home. They had this drawing machine. You get a picture taken and they drew it. They chose to have the one drawn where Danny's eyes were twinkling and Alice's smile was wide. He pressed the button for 2 copies then Alice put the money in the machine. The pictures popped out 2 minutes later. Alice studied them.

"I'll have this one!" she said as they were walking out.

"Alice they're identical!" he said.

"Yeah I know!" she replied.

"So does it matter which one is yours?" he asked.

"Of course it does!" she said in amazement.

Danny lifted his arms to the heavens in a give me strength gesture.

"We definitely should have brought carrier bags for our wet stuff. Which wouldn't be wet if it wasn't for you!" she said snidely.

"Your right we should have brought carrier bags. Now the wet clothes which YOU caused to be wet are wrapped in wet towels. This bag is going to be ruined." he exclaimed. "Good thing it's an old one of my dad's!" he said.

Alice was looking at him mouth agape. "How is MY fault the clothes are wet?" she asked.

"You jumped on me and I fell in the water." he said simply.

"And what happened before that?" she asked.

"O dunno that's hazy!" he said laughing.

"I'll bet it is!" she replied and grinned.

(X)

They went home and saw it was 8:30. You mind if I jump in the shower. I have sand everywhere - because of you!" she said smiling.

"Go-on." he said and kissed her. She went to walk away. "What no invitation to join you?" he asked playfully.

"You wish!" she said.

"I do actually!" he retorted quickly.

A few minutes later he heard the pipes rattle and the spray start. Ok they were alone in the house. Although he had the banter with her he was only carrying on. He wasn't serious. He was going to be a gentlemen over the next couple of days if it killed him! He tried to mentally distance himself from the fact that she was in the shower upstairs. With no clothes on! Oh God this wasn't working. He went I the kitchen and grabbed a glass of juice and sipped. Ok different tactic. He thought of big fat hairy sweaty men playing football. That had cooled him off alright.

"Danny?" Alice asked.

He turned around and dropped his glass to the floor. Alice was stood in front of him in a towel. Oh Jesus he was in trouble here!

"Um yes Alice." he tried to say calmly but his voice shook. His eyes were heavenward.

"I couldn't find my shorts and vest top I usually wear for bed." she said.

"I'll get them!" he said quickly and ran from the room.

"I'll come with you." she replied.

"NO!" he shouted then calmed himself. "No, it's ok I'll get them!"

Her clothes were in his room. Him, a half naked Alice and a bed. Definitely not a good combination. He was a gentlemen but there was only so much temptation he could take! He grabbed the clothes from the bottom drawer and opened his door. And again Alice stood in front of him wearing only a towel and a smile. He felt like pulling his hair out. He thrust the clothes at her and edged passed her being careful not to touch her. He then went and stood in the back garden looking at the stars twinkling.

That was were Alice found him 15 minutes later. She came up behind him and wrapped her arms around his waist. Her head was at the side. "That one there is my mum!" Alice said and pointed up. "She flashes it's like she's blinking at us."

They stood in silence for a moment. Alice with her arms firmly around Danny's waist.

He turned to face her and rested his forehead on hers. "Alice this is so hard!" he admitted.

"I know!" she replied.

"I'm trying to act like an adult. Capable of handling stuff but all I can think about is that you and me are alone and the bag of condoms my mum gave me and your gorgeous and that smile makes me melt and how I'm physically dying right now!" he said quickly.

"Your mum gave you condoms?" Alice asked laughing.

"Yeah it was so uncomfortable. I wanted the ground to swallow me up!" he said seriously.

"Do you want me to go home Danny?" she asked softly. "I don't mind if you do. I understand - honestly."

"No Alice it's just…. I dunno. It's just hard! I look at you and love you so much. But I'm not with you just to sleep with you so I'm trying to cool off but Alice you were wearing a towel. JUST a towel. And it didn't leave much to the imagination. I should be nominated for a sainthood!" he said in a strangled voice.

"I'll go home!" she said firmly. "You should be comfortable in your own home" she said and walked inside. "I'm SO sorry Danny. It HONESTLY didn't occur to me about the towel and how it would affect you!" she said.

He'd stood still as she walked inside. But he followed her.

"Alice please don't go. I'll stay on the sofa or in my mums room tonight. It's ok. Don't go home please I like having you here with me!" he said softly.

"Are you sure Danny?" she asked.

He smiled and nodded.

They walked into the living room and grabbed a box set of DVD's. He placed the DVD in the tray and pressed play. Alice smiled. "You watch Wild At Heart?" she asked.

"Never miss it. One day I'm going to work in Africa as a exotic animals vet. I love the characters. Stephen, Dawn and Deon. Deon is hilarious. And Dawn is great." he said.

"And Stephen is cute!" she said. "Thank god they got rid of the actress who played Amanda. She was so wooden. But the actress who plays Dawn is so good and her chemistry with the actor who plays Stephen is so lovely. They just play off each other brilliantly!"

"Apparently Leopards Den is a real place, Game Reserve." Danny said.

"Really? Maybe we'll work there one day." she said in jest.

"Yeah right!" he said laughing.

They both settled down and watched the episode where Stephen shot himself with the tranquilizer gun. Even though Alice had seen the episode before she still squealed when he started fitting. "God Amanda the love of your life might die and you can't muster up any decent acting!" Alice said in disgust.

The episode finished and Alice yawned. "C'mon lets get you to bed, you only a few hours last night." he said and kissed her forehead. After they had checked the windows and doors were locked they walked upstairs. Alice's eyes were getting heavier by the second.

"I need to brush my hair." she said after yawning widely. It was a nightly ritual. Her mum and she used to do it before she went to sleep. She used to tell her mum about her day.

"Here let me!" he said and grabbed the brush. He pulled it through her hair softly. "I'll never shoot myself in the leg with a tranq gun." he said and laughed softly. "Alice?" he asked and paused brushing.

Her head was resting forward. Her eyes were closed and she was breathing softly. He quickly put her bobble in her hair and eased her back so she lay down on the bed. As he did she flung her arm around his neck and damn near strangled him. He fell on the bed. She then moulded herself around his body and sighed deeply. He held his breath for a moment then realised she's asleep, what could possibly happen? He removed himself from the bed and turned his light off. He then climbed back into bed and gathered her into his arms. He soon fell into a deep content slumber

(X)

Alice came awake slowly and realised soft fine hair was tickling her nose. She opened her eyes and found her head pillowed on Danny's chest. One of her legs was flung over his and her arm was rested across his waist. She smiled and squeezed him. She dozed half asleep, then Danny tried to disengage himself from her arms.

"Where you goin?" she asked sleepily.

"I thought you were asleep." Danny replied.

"I was half asleep, dozing. You a really comfy pillow." she smiled at him.

"I was just going downstairs." he told her.

"Why, it's still early." she said.

He was silent. Alice knew why. God she was sick of this being noble shit. Time to put it to bed once and for all! She lifted her head and looked at him. "How you feeling?" she asked.

He smiled at her. "I'll be fine once I'm downstairs. And don't look at me like that!" he asked.

"What like this?" she smiled seductively and placed a hand on his chest to stop him from moving. She edged up his body and pressed her lips to his. "Still wanna go downstairs?" she asked.

"Alice don't do this!" he warned.

"What this?" she asked innocently and then climbed over so she straddled his waist. She leaned in close and kissed him.

"Don't fight it Danny." she whispered and kissed him again.

"Alice c'mon quite messing on and let me up yeah!" he said his voice hoarse.

"Whose messing on?" she asked. "Tell me you don't want to do this and I'll let you up." and nibbled his neck. "This isn't ruining anymore of our time alone. It's going to happen eventually over the next couple of days. I'm just speeding it up a bit. I love you for trying to be noble and trying not to rush me but if this sexual tension isn't resolved soon it's going to consume us and we're going to explode!" she whispered seductively in his ear.

Danny lay on his back and closed his eyes breathing heavily. He moved quickly and grabbed her face, quickly but tenderly he kissed her with a feverant passion. She matched it. Slow down Danny! A voice told him. He obeyed and kissed her softly. So softly and lovingly it nearly brought a tear to Alice's eyes.

His hands moved down from her face and traced her neck down her sides until they rested on her hips. He rolled so she was no longer on top of him but lying on her side. He continued kissing her.

"Are you sure Alice?" he asked for the final time.

She nodded and kissed him softly. "I love you Danny, this feels right." she said.

He caressed her face and kissed her again.

(-)

They lay in each others arms in the aftermath of the love they'd shared.

"Are you ok?" he asked. His voice was shaky.

"Yeah!" she said breathlessly. "The world didn't come to an end." she laughed.

"But it did stand still for a second." he said and kissed the top of her head.

"I thought lads were only sweet when they wanted to get a girl into bed!" she asked him.

"Got lines for all occasions." he told her playfully.

"Thank God you remembered your head and reached into your nightstand. We could have been in trouble there!" she said.

"I nearly forgot. God could you imagine my mum. She go wild!" he said. "A kid will be nice one day though." he said out loud.

Time for a little honesty with himself here! He'd thought about not putting a condom on. It had freaked him out abit. He was still freaked out NOW! It hadn't bothered him if he got her pregnant. A tiny part of him wanted to get her pregnant. Show everyone that she's his! He thought possessively. To see her grow big with his child. Give birth to it. God this was too intense. He was only 16 for God's sake and he was thinking like that!

"One day." she told him. "We're too young Danny. We're still kids ourselves!" she said.

"Yeah I know. That's why I'm happy I did remember. Maybe in about 10 years when we're both qualified and have some money in the bank and secure jobs." he said.

She smiled and nodded. "Now that's a plan!" she said.

"Love you Alice."

"Love you too Danny."

(X)

The next 2 days passed far too quickly. Danny's mum was back tonight. It was 3:00.

"I'll have to go home today Danny." Alice said. "I haven't been home in over a week. I'll just get some fresh clothes sorted and stuff."

"I wish we could live together forever. I hate this separate houses bit! These 3 days have been great. Just the 2 of us. No parents watching our every move making sure we're behaving ourselves. Just me and you." He kissed her then. It quickly escalated as it always did. They thought if they slept together once it would get it out of their systems but in some ways it had made them worse! He pulled her upstairs and they barely made it to his room before the passion consumed them. They lay panting in the aftermath.

"Oh God!" he said.

"What?" Alice asked.

"I can't believe it!" he groaned.

"Danny?" she asked worriedly.

"We didn't use anything. God I don't believe I didn't protect you!" he said.

Alice went pale and suddenly felt sick in the pit of her stomach. "Look the damage is done now. Tomorrow we'll go to the Sexual health clinic tomorrow and get the morning after pill yeah?" she said.

He nodded and held her hand.

"Don't worry Danny. We'll get his sorted. It's actually a good lesson to learn early on!" she said trying to lighten the mood.

"I'd better be getting home anyway. Your mum and dad will be home in an hour or two. Spend some time with them and tell them I said hi. I'll phone you tonight before I go to bed. Sort out the detail for tomorrow." She kissed him lightly on the mouth. "Bye Hun. Love you" she said.

She grabbed her bag and left Danny's she walked slowly towards her house. To her dad Tina and Josh. God she missed Danny already.
