Chapter 10:- Just For Tonight
Ronnie could no longer stay in the Slater's house she felt uncomfortable, this is where Danielle had spent so many nights crying over her, and there were also interruptions in there conversations and hugs, that seemed like small things meant everything to both mother and daughter, and they had been interrupted by both Charlie and Stacey.
Charlie looked at Ronnie and then at Danielle he felt uncomfortable, he could tell they needed time alone and decided to leave them to it anyway. Ronnie eyes were fixed on Danielle, she was no longer looking at Ronnie, her head was in bowed in her hands, her hair covering her face. Ronnie knelt down in front of Danielle and placed her hands over Danielle's which were covering her cheeks, Danielle felt the warmth of her mother's hands, but couldn't look up at Ronnie, she had tears streaming down her cheeks onto both hers and her mothers fingers, she didn't want to show Ronnie she was upset, she felt embarrassed.
Ronnie removed her right hand from Danielle's and placed it on her chin, lifting Danielle's face looking deeply into her big brown eyes, she wiped the tears from Danielle's cheek with her spare hand "Danielle sweetie, I'd really, really, like you to come with me, I mean if you want to that is, I don't want to force you into anything" Ronnie was unsure of what Danielle's response would be, what if she decided she didn't want to go with Ronnie, she would have to leave on her own without Danielle. Ronnie's thoughts were cut short as Danielle removed both her's and her mother's hands from her face and stood up straightening out her clothes like Ronnie had done moments earlier. Danielle stretched out a hand to Ronnie, who was still kneeling on the floor infront of where Danielle had sat. the hand was gladly taken, Danielle pulled Ronnie up off her knee's, and into her arms, both stood there again in the middle of the Slater's living room, in there own world, the warmth off each other's bodies, spreading love between them.
"Can you just give me a moment to take my bag upstairs and then I'll be right down with you" Danielle explained to Ronnie, she needed to take her packed belongings back up to her room, she had decided to go with Ronnie, she had no intention of being separated from her mother now of all times. "Y...you could erm always bring it with you... I mean erm you could stay at mine the night if you want... sorry it doesn't matter im being too pushy forget I said anything, sorry sweetie" Ronnie so much wanted to be with her daughter even if she was moving fast, she had spent so many nights without her, wondering how she was, how she was feeling, she didn't want to spend anymore separated from the one person she truly loved more than anything.
Danielle herself was shocked, Ronnie obviously really cared, she'd only known for a few hours that Danielle was her daughter and she was practically asking her to move in. "Just for tonight?" Danielle asked nervously, smiling at Ronnie, who smiled back lovingly. Danielle was considering it, they so much to do together, to tell each other "yeah, if you want and then we'll see how we go on from there" Ronnie explained to Danielle, she really wanted her daughter to move in with her, but it was still early, she'd only known about Danielle a couple of hours, she didn't want to freak Danielle out, forcing her into something so quickly, that she may not want to do.
"Just for tonight, why not, but your carrying my bag, it weighs a ton" Danielle replied grinning cheekily, she scooped her bag up off the floor and passed it to Ronnie, placing it in her open arms "Thanks, you don't how much this means to me", Ronnie smiled at Danielle her eyes welling up again, she was just so happy. Then taking the weight of Danielle's bag on her arms, she groaned. "Gosh, Dan what's in here, you wasn't joking when you said it was heavy" Danielle grinned at Ronnie, "told you it was heavy!"she made her way to the living room door, opened it and stepped out stopping on the other side whilst, holding the door open for Ronnie.
Ronnie stepped through still holding Danielle's bag in her arms as Danielle pulled the door closed after Ronnie had exited the room. Ronnie stood in the hall with Danielle's rucksack in her arms, she lowered it to the floor and picked it up with one shoulder strap, placing it over her shoulder. Danielle walked towards the front door, turned the lock and opened it "after you" she told Ronnie "thanks" Ronnie replied smiling at her daughter as she walked through the door, and down to the gate, stepping out onto the pavement, she then stopped, turned and waited for Danielle as she pulled the door closed and walked down to where Ronnie was standing.
As Ronnie and Danielle walked through the square Ronnie watched Danielle glance at the Vic, "No one's in today only Tracy and Shirley" Ronnie informed Danielle, who simply nodded at her mother, letting out a small smile. Ronnie noticed Danielle's hand hanging loosely by her side, and slipped her own hand into her daughter's, tightening her fingers around Danielle's hand, to Ronnie's surprise Danielle did the same, both holding on to each others hands. As they walked through the market, all eyes were on them, little whispers amongst store holders, who was this girl holding Ronnie Mitchell's hand?, why was Ronnie Mitchell smiling ? Was the Ice Queen happy?. Danielle became nervous, as she noticed everyone watching them, she tightened her grip on Ronnie's hand, Ronnie replied to this giving Danielle a small squeeze of reassurance, everything was going to be fine, Ronnie would protect her, they were both so happy but there was still that awkward silence between them.
Ronnie came to a halt outside R&R, turning to face Danielle, she gave her daughter a reassuring smile and spoke, "just need to fetch my keys, sweetie, then we can go to the flat", Danielle nodded, she turned and followed Ronnie closely into the club and down the stairs, Danielle noticed her mother still hogging her rucksack on her back. Ronnie pushed the office door open, and As both Ronnie and Danielle stepped into the office Jack looked up, at both of them eyeing Danielle up and down then turning to Ronnie.
