Hello loyal readers! I just again want to say Thanks for reading and reviewing. I have to warn that there is a sensitive word used in this story. It was necessary to use the word "fag." I don't condone use of that word, but we live in a world where it does get used. So I apologize to anyone that I may offend for using it in this story. It is never my intention to hurt or offend my readers. Thank You.
Lacey was a little upset with herself for losing control in that way. She didn't like that Danny saw that. That's a side she rarely brings out, and Sarita pulled it out of her. She didn't feel bad about what she did to Sarita at all though. She asked for it. She actually asked for a lot more. The way she just messed up the relationship she had with Danny, made her and him go through weeks and weeks of heartache, depression, and pain. And the way she just came in and outed Cole like it was no big deal, infuriated her. And then the look she gave her when she looked at Lacey. The satisfactory grin she had on her face made Lacey want to remove it. She had no business doing what she did. But she got the shock and the beating of her life. But Lacey still felt like Sarita deserved more than what she just got. What she did to her, Danny, and Cole was unjustifiably cruel.
Lacey was sitting in the chair in the office just waiting for Mr. Bond to return. She had no idea what he would do to her once he got back. And then Lacey had to think about what Judy would say and do. She didn't think about her punishment at all when chaos started to erupt around her. And even though she would probably get suspended and grounded, it was worth it. She would do it again in a second. She was truly grateful to Archie for lying and saying that Sarita had hit her first. That would essentially work in her favor. And luckily and thankfully, none of the other students refuted Archie's claim. Of course Sarita did, but nobody backed her up. She had crossed the line. What she did was despicable.
Lacey was just sitting quietly when Danny approached her. "Hey, Lace." Danny says as he sits down beside her.
"Hey, Danny." Lacey says as she looks over at him and smiles slightly. "I'm sorry." Lacey says as she sounds slightly embarrassed.
"For what?" Danny asks.
"I'm sorry I lost it and you had to see that side of me." Lacey says.
"You don't have to apologize for that. Sarita asked for it." Danny says.
"Yes, she did. But I'm still sorry. You shouldn't have seen me get into a fight. That was unladylike."
Danny leans closer to her and lowers his voice. "I actually thought it was kinda hot. It turned me on." Danny says and leans back over in his seat.
Lacey looks over at him with wide eyes and then starts to giggle at the look on his face. "You are something else, Desai. Only you would get turned on by something like that." Lacey says.
"That's not true. I know a lot of guys probably thought the same thing. Though I doubt any of them would tell me that they did. And at least now I know that you know how to handle yourself. Although from the looks of Joe's eye, I already knew that."
"He asked for it too." Lacey admits defensively.
"Yes, he did. I just have to ask though. Where did you learn to fight like that?" Danny asks with humor in his voice. He's trying to contain his amusement.
"I grew up in Baltimore." Is all Lacey says. That should be explanation enough.
"I guess that really sucks for Joe and Sarita then, huh?" Danny says as he starts to laugh.
"Joe was a minor thing. Next time, I'll let you handle him. And Sarita was an easy task to handle too. That bitch ripped my sweater though." Lacey says. "But this really isn't funny Danny. I'm in a lot of trouble. And my mom is going to lose it."
"They might not go too hard on you since Archie said Sarita started it. I have to thank him for that. And I agree with you on the mom front. Hopefully, she understands. We just have to lie and tell her Sarita started it too. Since she knows the history between you and Sarita, she'll understand."
Lacey smiles weakly. "My mom doesn't know anything about Sarita." Lacey admits.
"Did you ever tell her the reason we broke up?" Danny asks.
"Nope. And I didn't tell her how we got back together either. Well, I told her that Cole knew the truth, but she never knew what he knew the truth about. I'm going to lie and tell her she hit me first. I don't have a choice but to tell her that she's your ex girlfriend. She's not gonna like it if she thinks we were fighting over you. But I'm gonna say that she was upset that we got back together. Which is the truth. I can't believe she did that to Cole." Lacey says.
"I know. He left. I texted him and he said he needed to be alone. If Sarita was a guy, I would've done the same thing you did. So you shouldn't feel bad about that at all. Hopefully, Cole is ok. I feel responsible. Even though what Sarita did was cruel and uncalled for." Danny says.
"I know what you mean. I feel a little guilty. But Sarita needs to understand that we're gonna be together whether she likes it or not." Lacey says.
"Yes. We are gonna be together. Forever." Danny says as he grabs her hand. Mr. Bond then walks into the office with Sarita. She looked like hell. She had a bandage across her nose, a busted lip, and a swollen eye that she was holding an ice pack up to. Lacey thought that that really sealed her fate considering how beat up Sarita looked, and she only had a ripped sweater.
Danny leaned over to kiss her on her cheek. "Good luck. I'll see you later. I love you." Danny says as he stands up to leave.
"Thanks. I love you too." Lacey says.
"I'll talk to you after I'm done with Ms. Lopez, Ms. Porter." Mr. Bond says as he ushers Sarita into his office. Sarita seemed to be a little jumpy. She should be. She had no idea that Lacey was able to take her down that quickly and easily. She underestimated Lacey terribly, and paid dearly for it.
It was obvious that Lacey had done more damage to Sarita than she had done to her. But he had to take into consideration the circumstances involving the fight. He was told that Sarita started the fight, and it was clear that Lacey finished it. The fact that Lacey started it too was foreign to him and irrelevant.
After several minutes, Sarita came out of the office and used the phone to call her mother as Mr. Bond signaled for her to come into his office.
"So, Ms. Porter, I'd like to know what happened in the lunchroom today." Mr. Bond said.
Lacey just sat there quietly, not wanting to answer his question.
Mr. Bond exhaled. "Ms. Porter, you need to start talking or you will be expelled." He wasn't going to expel either of them, but scare tactics work with teenagers.
"We got into a fight." Lacey says.
"I think that's an understatement, Ms. Porter. I want to know why you two got into a fight."
"Well, Mr. Bond. Sarita hit me first, and I hit her back." Lacey lies. Might as well stick with it.
"Ms. Lopez insists that you're the one who started the fight by hitting her first." Mr. Bond says.
"Well she's lying." Lacey lies again. He would have to prove that she was lying, and she doubted that he'd be able to do that.
"I figured that since nobody else is saying that you started it. Obviously, Ms. Lopez knows that the person that starts the fight gets a longer suspension. You're fairly new here and haven't been in any trouble before now, so I'm assuming that you didn't know that." Mr. Bond says.
"No. I didn't know that, Mr. Bond." Lacey admits truthfully.
"Why did you and Ms. Lopez get into a fight in the first place?" Mr. Bond asks Lacey.
"Because I'm now dating her ex boyfriend." Lacey says.
"So, this fight started because of a boy?" Mr. Bond asks. It isn't the first time he's heard that two girls were fighting over a boy and it won't be the last.
"Yes sir." Lacey admitted embarrassingly.
"Well, you should know that fighting on school grounds is severely prohibited." Says Mr. Bond.
"Yes." Lacey says quietly.
"You should also know that due to the severity of Ms. Lopez's wounds, her parents may want to press charges against you." Mr. Bond says.
Lacey looks horribly frightened after Mr. Bond divulges that piece of information. Lacey had never even considered that she might get into legal trouble. Mr. Bond takes in Lacey's expression carefully. She really didn't seem like a problem student or troublemaker. The same couldn't be said about Sarita.
"Well, I have no choice but to suspend you for three days. Ms. Lopez will be suspended for five since she started the fight. I take it you two won't have any more altercations resulting in a physical fight, right?"
"No, sir." Lacey says.
"Well, you both have to leave the school grounds until your suspension is up. You both need to have your parents come and pick you up and you have to have a parent with you when you return to school Monday morning. Ms. Porter you can use the phone in the main office."
Lacey stands and leaves Mr. Bond's office. She doesn't want to feel Judy's wrath, but she knows she has no choice but to face the music. She calls her mother's office, and luckily she answers. Usually, she's away from her desk and Lacey has to try her cell.
"Judy Porter speaking."
"Mom, it's me. I got into a fight at school and I got suspended. You have to come and pick me up." Lacey says as she waits for the hammer to drop.
"What?! You did what, Lacey?!" Judy yells.
"I got into a fight and I got suspended. You have to come here and get me. I'm sorry, Mom." She is sorry about the aftermath of her actions, but she isn't sorry for beating Sarita up. Not at all.
"I don't believe this! I'm on my way." Judy says as she hangs up.
By the time Judy gets to the school, she's still mad as hell at Lacey. She walked into the office fuming. She saw Lacey and Sarita just sitting there, and she almost can't believe what she's seeing. That other girl looked like she had been in a car accident or something. She didn't want to believe that Lacey did that to that girl. Judy just doesn't know that Sarita deserved exactly what she got from Lacey.
Judy walked up to Lacey, still seriously pissed off about having to come and get Lacey from school because she was fighting. "What in the hell happened, Lacey?" Judy asks.
Lacey was about to open her mouth to answer Judy when Mr. Bond opens his office door and walks out. "Ms. Porter? Come into my office, please." Mr. Bond says.
Judy lightly scoffs as she walks to go into Mr. Bond's office. After several minutes, Judy returns and just stands at the office door, waiting for Lacey. Lacey quickly gathers her things and follows her mother out of the office and into the hallway. Judy doesn't say a word as she continues to walk down the hallway and out of the building. Lacey just follows behind her quietly. She knows that her mother is beyond upset with her. She knows that she is in a world of trouble when Judy finally speaks. She still wouldn't take back what she did though. Not in a million years.
Judy finally arrives at her car and she and Lacey get in. They ride home in deafening silence. Lacey still doesn't say a word. She's just waiting for Judy to get over her anger so she can give her her punishment. And judging by Judy's anger, her punishment will be horrible. They reach their house and again Lacey just follows Judy into the house. They both remove their coats and hang them on the coat rack. Once they're in the living room, Judy finally speaks.
"Have a seat." Judy says as she walks over to the couch to sit down.
Lacey obliges and walks over to sit down on the adjoining chair.
"Why did you get into a fight with that girl at school?" Judy asks.
Lacey decides to tell Judy as much truth as possible, without incriminating herself. "Sarita was upset about Danny and I getting back together. She used to date him and is still bitter about their breakup. When she found out we got back together, she got in my face and she hit me. And then we started to fight." Lacey says. That isn't entirely true, but she hopes that's good enough for Judy to believe.
"So you got into a fight over Danny?" Judy asks.
"Yes." Is all Lacey says. She got into that fight with Sarita over a lot more than Danny, but that still isn't something Judy needs to know.
"So you beat that girl up like that because she hit you first? That looked like more than just self-defense, Lacey." Judy says.
"Yes. Sarita and I have never gotten along because of Danny. She's jealous that he dumped her and is now with me. We've gotten into several arguments before, and this was just the last straw." Lacey admits truthfully.
"I understand that. But you have to think about your future, Lacey. This can prevent you from getting into a good college. And what if her parents want to press charges? That girl was really hurt." Judy says.
"I know, Mom. And I'm sorry. But what was I supposed to do? She started it. And she deserved it. Sarita is an evil person." Lacey says.
"Well, from the looks of things, I don't think you'll have any more problems out of her." Judy says.
"Probably not. So how much trouble am I in?" Lacey asks.
"Oh, you're grounded for a week. You're also on house duty which means you will do all of the cooking and cleaning until your punishment is up. The only time you will leave this house is for school. And no company either. You're just gonna have to go a week without seeing Danny. I will allow you to keep your phone so that you can keep in touch with him because I don't want a repeat of the past several weeks. And you'd better pray that her parents don't want to press charges. You will be in a lot more trouble with not only the law if that does happen." Judy says.
Lacey is severely disappointed that she won't be able to see Danny for a whole week. They just got back together. But at least she can talk to him. "Ok." Lacey says as she stands to go upstairs to her room. Her mom was pretty lenient with her punishment, but Lacey still hated it. Danny couldn't even come over. She had plans to spend her after school snuggled in his arms, and now that wasn't possible. She wanted to punch Sarita again just thinking about it. She had a way of always compromising the time Lacey spent with Danny. She went all that time not being with him because of Sarita, now she's going through that again. It made her even madder.
Lacey made it to her room and just laid on her bed. She was severely stressed out about wondering if Sarita wanted to press charges against her. Knowing how much of an irritating bitch Sarita is, Lacey didn't doubt that that's what she would do. What would happen to her if she did? Would she go to jail? Well, she's only sixteen, so they probably wouldn't put her in real jail. They could put her in juvenile detention though. Hopefully, if it came to that, maybe she could just get away with doing community service. It was too much to think about. Lacey needed to take a hot shower to relax. But she needed to fill Danny in on her status at school and at home. She grabbed her phone to text him. It was a little after two, so he was still in English.
I got suspended for 3 days.
Danny's reply came back immediately because he was anxiously waiting to hear from her.
That sucks.
But it gets worse. I'm grounded for a week.
A week? Can you have company?
Nope. She just said I can keep my phone to stay in touch with you because she doesn't want to see me depressed again like I was during our breakup.
I can't go a week without seeing you, Lace.
I can't go a week without seeing you either. But what other choice do we have?
None, I know. It just sucks. We just got back together.
I know. And I'm sorry for ruining that.
It's not your fault. I blame Sarita.
I do too, but I still started the fight. Ugh. Now I have to wonder if I'll be in trouble with the law. Mr. Bond said she might want to press charges.
I'll keep my fingers crossed that she doesn't.
Ok. Thanks. I'm gonna hop in the shower. Hopefully, that relaxes me.
Ok. I'll call you later. I love you.
I love you too.
Lacey just leaves her phone on the bed and gets up to undress. She hops into the shower and hope it does the trick.
Cole drove around aimlessly since he left school. He couldn't believe that Sarita did that to him. She always threatened him with that, and she finally came through on her threat. But for some strange reason, he felt a sense of relief. Now, Sarita could never hold his sexuality over his head. He was free. She could never threaten or blackmail him again. He knew that she had ruined his being on the football team, and that hurt worse than her outing him. Being on the football team was his reason for not wanting to or being able to come out. He wasn't ashamed of what and who he was, but he knew how difficult it was for athletes to be gay. He knew that they would assume that he would check them out while they were showering or undressing. Or that he would get aroused when they were in heaps, or being hesitant about butt slaps. But the truth of the matter is, Cole never looked at any of his teammates that way. He was in a committed and loving relationship with Rico. And even if he wasn't, he still wasn't attracted to straight guys. It was disrespectful for people to think that he would be. He thought of the guys on the team as his brothers. He wasn't sexually attracted to them. He is gay, not a pervert.
Cole thinks back to how he and Rico got together. Everybody already knew Rico was gay, and Cole already knew he was, he just hadn't acted on it. He knew from a young age that he wasn't attracted to girls. He found himself attracted to Rico when he and Sarita came to their school freshman year. He knew that Rico was a genius, and was in one of his classes. Cole pretended to need help, and asked Rico to tutor him. And soon enough, he and Rico started going out. Rico promised to keep their relationship s secret because of Cole being on the football team. Nobody else knew. Sarita found out when she walked in on them one day. They swore her to secrecy, and she didn't tell a soul. And that was the case until Danny broke up with her and Lacey came along. Then she used Cole's being gay against him. It was an extremely cruel and shitty thing to do, but she did it. And Cole figured he had to somehow repay her for that.
He continued to drive around until he knew school was out. As much as he hated to go to that house, he needed Rico. He knew Rico would make him feel a lot better. He just hoped that he didn't run into Sarita. He would never, ever hit a girl. But he really wanted to beat the hell out of her. But he would control his anger around her. He knew that somehow, someway, Sarita would get what she deserved. He knew Rico was home because he always came straight home on Tuesday's since he didn't have practice and they could spend time together. Cole silently prayed that Sarita didn't answer the door when he knocked on it. He really didn't want to see Sarita's face. He pulled up to their house and slowly walked up the walkway. He could hear yelling as he knocked on the door. He figured Rico was laying into Sarita for what she did. He reluctantly rang the doorbell and Rico answered. When he walked in, he saw Rico, Sarita, and their mother Maria in the living room. Their father split when he found out Maria was having twins. They were engaged in a heated discussion. And then Cole noticed that Sarita looked like hell. He instantly wondered what happened to Sarita. Rico gave Cole a hug.
"What happened to her?" Cole asked as he was hugging Rico.
"Lacey happened to her." Rico says triumphantly.
"What?" Cole wonders.
"Lacey beat her ass after she outed you. Serves her right." Rico says.
Cole couldn't help but smile. Lacey was an alright girl in his book. He now knew he'd do anything for her.
"I wouldn't have had to out him if he didn't betray me." Sarita hissed. Even after getting her ass beat, she still acted like a royal bitch.
"You shut up!" Maria screamed. She then started cursing in Spanish. Cole had no idea what she was saying, but he could tell that she was not pleased with Sarita.
"Yeah, you really should shut up, Sarita. Did you forget that you have secrets too?" Rico asks.
Sarita's eyes grow wide. There is a hint of fear in them. "You wouldn't." Sarita says uneasily.
"I would." Rico says as he gives her a death stare.
Cole has no idea what's going on but it seems as if the twins are having a private conversation, that seems to scare the hell out of Sarita. He has never seen her show fear, until now. He wonders what secret Sarita is hiding.
"Come on. Let's go upstairs. Something in here stinks." Rico says. He is clearly disgusted with his twin sister.
Cole and Rico make their way up the stairs as Maria continues to curse at Sarita. She is not at all pleased with Sarita's actions. She felt the same as everyone else. Sarita deserved the beating she got for what she did. She also disappointed Sarita even further when she informed her that she would not be pressing assault charges against Lacey for beating her so severely, like she wanted her to.
Maria again yelled out the last thing she wanted to say to her evil daughter. "Quien juego con fuego se quema!"
Maria warned her that if she played with fire, she would get burned. Sarita most definitely learned that lesson.
Well, not quite actually.
Joe felt a sense of panic and fear ever since that moment at lunch. Too many things became clear to him. The most shocking thing of all was finding out that Cole is gay. He and probably none of the other guys on the ream had any idea. He immediately became sick when Sarita came in and outed Cole. That would not bode well for him. If she was willing to out Cole, she would out him. And then the way that Lacey just beat the hell out of Sarita was another thing that was hard for him to stomach. He had gotten hit by Lacey. The chick was tough as nails. Sarita was no match at all for her. He and Sarita both had failed miserably by underestimating her. So for him to see Sarita get beat up, he knew that he was next. There wasn't any reason for Sarita to not tell that he was the one that gave her the video. She had nothing to lose. He was doomed. He knew his ass would be toast when Danny found out the entire truth. He was mad at himself and Sarita. She was supposed to cover their asses better than that. She promised him that they wouldn't get found out. She either lied to him or was stupid enough to believe that their other ally would never rat her out. Sarita kept insisting on that. She was wrong.
It pained Joe to think that Cole was caught up in all of this too. Cole had nothing to lose as well. He could team up with Danny and completely annihilate him. Cole was ridiculously strong and powerfully built. And Danny was strong as hell too. His dark side made him stronger and scary. Danny was not to be fucked with. He saw that first hand when Danny jacked him up. Joe underestimated Danny's love for Lacey. He was entirely convinced that Danny would kill for her. And the only thing that made him feel better was his chief of police father. Of course his father could protect him, but he knew that he was in danger. He knew it was pointless, but he still had to find out where Sarita's head was. He texted her. He really didn't expect a response.
Wtf happened Sarita?
Joe was surprised when he got a reply.
Wtf do you mean Joe?
Sarita was playing dumb and playing games and he was not in the mood for it.
Stop fucking around Sarita. This is serious. I thought you said your ally would never rat you out.
I didn't think he would. I knew Cole couldn't come out.
So what about me?
What about you?
Did you say anything about me being the one to give you that video?
No. Not yet.
Wtf do you mean yet?
Remember when you told me if you go down, I'm going down with you?
Yeah.
Well the tables have turned. I went down. And so will you.
Come on Sarita. Danny's gonna kill me.
Not my problem.
What are you gonna do?
The same thing you would do to me.
Joe didn't even bother responding because he knew she was right. He would sell her ass out in a minute. All he had to do now was worry about when he'd feel Danny's wrath.
When Clara came home from practice that day, she was surprised to see Lacey home. She figured she would be with Danny. And then Clara felt a sense of dread. She hoped they didn't break up again. She loved her big sister, she truly did. But Clara knew she couldn't take another Danny and Lacey breakup. She had to walk on eggshells around Lacey during the last one, and she could barely stand it. Lacey acted even worse than she did when she was depressed about Timmy. Clara treaded lightly as she approached Lacey's room.
Lacey was sitting in her room with the door opened, watching tv. Clara still knocked anyway. "Hey, Lace Face." Clara says enthusiastically.
Lacey looks up and smiles and Clara takes that as a good sign. "Hey, Clar Bear. How was practice?"
"Good. What are you doing home?" Clara asked as she walked into Lacey's room further.
"I'm grounded." Lacey says sadly.
"Why? What happened?" Clara asks.
"I got into a fight at school and now I'm suspended and grounded." Lacey says.
"You got into a fight? Why? With who?" Clara asks rapid fire questions.
"This girl at school named Sarita. She's Danny's ex girlfriend. She was mad that we got back together."
"Thank goodness!" Clara exclaims.
"What does that mean, Clar Bear?" Lacey asks.
"I thought you and Danny had broke up again. I was getting ready to run away." Clara says. She's only half-joking about running away.
"I was not that bad, Clara." Lacey says.
"Yes, you were. You can never break up with Danny again. I can't take it." Clara says.
"Get out of my room." Lacey jokes.
Clara giggles as she runs from Lacey's room.
The next day, Cole arrives at school, not really knowing what to expect. His secret was out. He didn't know what might happen to him. He knows that people can be unbelievably cruel when it came to homosexuality. He knew that Rico never experienced a lot of hate for being gay, maybe because it was obvious, and he was out. Rico never hid who he was. Cole's situation was different. Nobody at school knew except for Rico and Sarita. His parents knew, though they didn't want to accept it. Well, really just his father. He had a hard time accepting that his son was gay. His mother just pretty much went along with her husband, though she loved her son unconditionally. His parents never threatened to disown him, they just didn't want it in their face. Which is the reason why Cole always spent time with Rico at his house. Maria was extremely loving towards him. She treated him just like her son. Cole's older sister Quinn, who was away at college knew. And she loved and accepted her little brother.
Cole feared that when he got to school, he'd see some cruel shit like "Fag" and "Homo" written on his locker. And luckily, when he arrived at his locker, that was not the case. Everybody at the school pretty much loved Cole because he is an awesome guy. All the girls loved him and Danny, mainly because of their looks. While he was standing at his locker gathering his books, a girl named Megan Powell walked up to him.
"Gay, huh?" Megan asked casually.
"Yes, Megan. I'm gay." Cole replies. It felt good to say it. He no longer had to hide in the closet, even if his football playing days were over.
"Are you sure?" Megan asks.
Cole laughs. "Yes, I'm sure." Cole says.
"And there isn't anything i can do to change that?" Megan asks that ridiculous question.
"I doubt it. It doesn't work that way, Megan." Cole says.
"If you ever change your mind, you know where to find me." Megan says before she walks away.
Cole lightly chuckles as he shakes his head. That's when Phoebe walked up to him.
"I knew something was up." Phoebe says.
"You knew something was up about what, Phoebe?" Cole asks, though he already knows.
"I knew there had to be a reason one of the hottest guys in school didn't have a girlfriend. And you had a boyfriend the entire time. And to think, people thought Danny was the gay one." Phoebe says. She may have said too much, but she means well.
"What can I say, Phoebe?" Cole asks.
"There's nothing for you to say. I'm happy for you. And now I know why you didn't wanna go out with Sarita." Phoebe says.
"I wouldn't go out with Sarita if I was straight, Phoebe." Cole confesses truthfully.
"Did you hear about her and Lacey?" Phoebe asks.
"Yeah. I saw her when I went to see Rico. I'll have to find some way to thank her for that." Cole says.
"It was awesome and sad to see at the same time. I didn't know Lacey had that in her. I'll never cross her or give her a reason to beat me up like that." Phoebe admits.
"If Sarita was a guy, I would have beat the hell out of her too. Too bad she isn't. But I'm glad that Lacey stepped up and did that. Maybe she figured she owed me." Cole says.
"Owed you? For what?" Phoebe asks. She doesn't know the whole story.
"You don't know?" Cole asks.
"Know what?" Phoebe asks impatiently.
"I thought Lacey would have told you since you guys are so close. I'm the reason she and Danny broke up and got back together." Cole confesses. Though Sarita and Joe are technically the reason they broke up, Cole still blames himself.
"What? How is that even possible?" Phoebe asks.
"Well, Sarita gave me this video of Danny and Lacey having sex and I had to make Lacey believe that he recorded it as proof of a bet between the guys on the football team. She forced me to do it or she was gonna out me. I couldn't take the guilt and seeing Danny so broken anymore, so I told Lacey. We went to see Danny. Sarita saw us, and must've figured out that I told Danny and Lacey the truth since they got back together. She felt like I betrayed her and she came in and did what she did yesterday."
"How in the hell did Sarita get a video of Danny and Lacey?" Phoebe asks.
"I have no idea. But that bitch got what she deserved." Cole says.
"No wonder Lacey was so angry at Danny, and he was so upset." Phoebe says.
"Yeah, I know." Cole says. "They really are a cute couple. They weren't even that mad at me. I still feel bad about it though, even if they are back together."
Phoebe's mind is running in circles.
How in the hell did Sarita get a video of Danny and Lacey?
They all would find out soon enough just how she got that video.
The next morning, Lacey got up her regular time even though she wasn't going to school. She showered and threw on something comfortable even though she was stuck in the house. She went downstairs and cooked breakfast for the three of them. It was part of her punishment, although she didn't mind cooking. She actually enjoyed it. She made a fairly easy breakfast of pancakes and sausages. Clara and Judy left to start their day while Lacey cleaned up the mess she made while preparing their breakfast. Lacey was wiping down the counter when she hard a knock at the door. She wondered to herself who in the world it could be as she walked to answer it. She was a little surprised to see Danny standing there when she opened the door, albeit happy to see him.
"Good morning, Lace." Danny greeted with a hugs smile plastered on his face.
"Good morning, Danny." Lacey says. "You came past here just to say good morning to me?" Lacey asks.
"No. I came past here to spend the day with you." Danny admits.
"What?" Lacey asks in mild confusion.
Danny takes this time to walk fully inside the house and closes the door. He has a devilish grin on his face now. "I said, I came past here to spend the day with you." Danny repeats.
"How are you going to spend the day with me when you have to go to school?" Lacey asks.
"Easy. I'm not going to school today." Danny says.
Lacey is finally starting to understand and like his plan, but she still has to worry about her mom. "What if my mom just decides to come home and sees your car parked outside? I'll be grounded for life."
Danny lets out his signature smirk. "I already thought about that. That's why I parked a few blocks away. Nobody will know I'm here." Danny says as he grabs her hand and pulls her towards him and gives her a kiss.
"Lets go." Lacey says as she breaks the kiss and heads for the stairs. Danny quickly follows behind her as they make their way to her bedroom. Once they're inside, they immediately head for her bed. They again start to embrace in a deep, passionate kiss. Their makeup the day before wasn't nearly enough. They have a lot of time to make up for. They pull apart from the kiss and Danny stands up and starts to undress. They were so engrossed in kissing each other Danny finally realized that he was still wearing his jacket. He immediately removed it and threw it so it landed on Lacey's desk chair. He removed his white Henley and kicked off his boots at the same time. He then removed his jeans and boxers as Lacey just laid there and watched him undress. He then stepped closer to her and pulled her pajama bottoms and panties off in one quick swipe. He then removed her shirt. She was comfortable in the house so she was already braless. Danny quickly became even more aroused now that she was fully naked in front of him. He was really eager to be with her again, but he wanted to take his time. They had all day, so they really could replace all the time they lost making love while they were apart. Danny laid on top of her as Lacey opened her legs to let him settle comfortably on top of her. They go back to kissing as Danny runs his tongue over her full lips. Lacey then takes his tongue into her mouth and gives it light sucks. Danny then breaks the kiss and heads for her neck. He knows that her neck is a major erogenous zone and she gets supremely wet whenever the tackles that area. After her moans turn him on further and excite him, he moves to another favorite area of her body, her full breasts. He then takes his tongue and licks her already erect nipple before he starts to suck on it. He pays special attention to her nipple before he gives the other one the same treatment. He slowly kissed down her abdomen as he kisses her belly button. He ultimately makes it to his most favorite area of all, her vaginal region. He takes his thumb and his fore finger and pulls her lips apart to gain better access to her clitoris. He rakes his tongue along the tender nub until he takes it into his mouth to suck on it. Lacey starts to writhe and thrash under him as he continues to devour her most sensitive area. Lacey cries out from the stimulation as the orgasm wracks her body and she starts to shake. Danny pulls away from her and looks up at her, pleased with his work. He then gives her the devilish grin that lets Lacey know he's not finished with the things he's doing to her. He grabs her knees and pushes them towards her until they are almost touching her chest. He goes back to lick her some more. Lacey opened her mouth to cry out, but it got trapped somewhere in her throat. She manages to let out a sound that she knows could never be classified as a word. Danny pulled away from her and gets on his knees as he grabs her legs to straighten them out. He slowly rolls her over so that she's laying flat on her stomach. He starts at her neck and leaves a trail of kisses down her back. He continues to kiss down her back, then her butt and thighs. He kisses all the way down to her ankles and moves to the other leg and leaves a trail of kisses until he reaches her neck again. He quickly hops off the bed and retrieves some condoms from the hiding spot in her room. He puts it on and enters her from behind. He slowly moves his hips against her and then gradually picks up speed. The tightness of entering her in that position becomes too much for him as he acquiesces into the orgasm. He rolls from on top of her to beside her as he pants from exhaustion.
Lacey lets him get his bearings before she gives him pleasure. Lacey just remains on her stomach, staring at her gorgeous boyfriend lying beside her. Sometimes, she just loved to stare at him. He was so handsome and sexy to her. As he was laying beside her with his eyes closed, she surprised him by literally pouncing on him. She straddled him. He immediately perked up and she felt become erect as she was straddling him. She leaned down to kiss him on the mouth. She then kissed his chin as she makes her way to his chest. She goes to her own personal playground. She kisses and licks on his treasure trail as she sinks down lower on him. She kisses the tip of his penis and licks it before slowly putting it into her mouth. She takes as much of him in as she can as she starts to bob her head and move her hand to stroke his shaft simultaneously. She then slows her speed as she takes him further into her mouth until she feels his head reach the back of her throat. It takes everything in Danny not to thrust into her mouth, but how good it feels to him takes him by surprise, and he ejaculates early.
"Damn, Lace. I'm sorry." Danny says apologetically.
Lacey just smiles at him. "You really don't have to apologize. I'd rather you like what I'm doing too much, than not enough or even at all."
He sits up to kiss her. "That could never happen." Danny says.
"Good. Are you ready for more?" Lacey asks seductively.
"Lace, that's a silly question. I'm always ready for more." Danny says as he kisses her again.
"Great, because I want to try something different. Lay back down." Lacey says as she leans across him to grab a condom. She slowly places it on him and climbs on top of him. She lines her middle up with his and reaches below her to grab his penis and place it inside of her. She starts to slowly move her hips and bounces up and down on him. Danny really likes that new position because it gives him the freedom to have better access to moving his hands along her body. And the view of her breasts bouncing in front of him turn him on even more. He then takes the time to grab and As they both really get into the groove of their new position, Danny grabs her ass and starts to thrust his hips upward to assist her in riding him. Lacey moaned and leaned forward, nibbling on his earlobe and neck. She closed her eyes, hearing Danny groan in her ear as she tried to catch her breath from the overwhelming sensation of him being deep inside of her. She felt herself coming close as she grabbed the pillow below Danny's head while she reached her climax, and felt Danny thrust inside of her a few more times before he released inside of her. She smiled and then rolled herself from on top of him as she tried to come down from her high. They just laid in the bed in silence, still trying to bask in the glow of new found levels of orgasm.
After gaining their composure, they decide to just lounge around and watch a movie. Lacey just scrolls through the guide until she finds a movie she thinks they will both like. She finds Save the Last Dance, which is one of her favorite movies. Danny notices the nostalgic look on her face when Sarah is dancing.
"Do you miss it?" Danny asks.
"Miss what?"
"Dancing. I know how you feel about ballet. I can even tell by the look on your face just watching this." Danny says.
"Yes. I do. But it's not really a part of my life anymore." Lacey admits.
"But it can be. You shouldn't give up on something if you really love it."
"I've thought about it. But I can't just jump back into it. I'd have to lose weight to even consider it. But I'll think about it more, since you think I should." Lacey says.
"Good. I can see how happy it makes you. I remember how happy you were on our first date." Danny says.
Lacey blushes and smiles just thinking about it. "Yeah, it was pretty awesome. Thanks again for that. I owe you for making me so happy."
"You don't owe me for that, Lace. I love you and you being happy makes me happy." Danny says.
"I get that. And I love you even more for that. But I feel like I need to do something special for you. I feel like you do more for me than I do for you."
"Nonsense. But I'll be happy with whatever you have in store for me." Danny says.
As they continue watching movies, Lacey decides to cook Danny a quick meal before he has to leave.
"Are you hungry?" Lacey asks.
"Yes." Danny admits.
Lacey hops up out the bed and throws her pajamas back on. "Anything in particular that you want to eat?" Lacey asks as she steps into her slippers.
"No. Surprise me." Danny says and Lacey leaves the room.
She makes her way to the kitchen and fixes him a fairly easy and quick chicken stir fry meal. This is essentially the first time she has ever cooked for him. Danny has no idea what a good cook Lacey is. After about a half and hour, she returns to her room with his meal.
"Lunch is served." Lacey says as she placed the plate into his hands.
"Thank you. Where is yours?" Danny asks.
"I'm not really hungry. I ate a pretty big breakfast. My mom has me cooking as part of my punishment. It's not really a punishment though, because I love to cook." Lacey says.
Danny just takes that in as he starts to eat his food. "I think I just fell in love with you all over again." Danny says as he starts eating.
Lacey giggles. "I'm glad you like it. I'll cook more for you soon." Lacey says.
"Good. Because I don't get meals like this at home. My mother can't cook to save her life."
Lacey giggles again. "Well, I'll be happy to cook for your family." Lacey admits truthfully.
"No. Because my dad might try to steal you away from me." Danny jokes as he finishes his meal. He cleaned the plate.
"That's gross, Danny. Even though your dad is kinda hot." Lacey says jokingly although she means it. Vikram is a very good-looking man. And Danny gets his awesome good looks from him although Karen is gorgeous.
"I'm gonna tell him you said that." Danny jokes again.
"And I'll tell my mom you think she's hot." Lacey counters.
"She is. And I know what you'll look like when we get older, so that's a good thing." Danny says.
Lacey starts to think for a minute. "You really think we'll be together that long?" Lacey asks.
Danny smiles at her. "I know we will."
Danny goes to practice even though he didn't go to school. They only had one more game before the season was over, and it was important to them.. They remained undefeated even after Danny was ejected from a game and the backup quarterback had to step in for him. He intended to finish the season undefeated along with his teammates. He also had to talk to them about something extremely important. When he walked into the locker room, a couple of them were surprised to see him. They just assumed that he wouldn't be there since he wasn't at school.
"Hey, Desai. Where were you today?" Archie asked as he started to undress.
"I just had something important to do today. I wouldn't miss practice though." Danny says as he unlocks his locker.
The locker room suddenly becomes extremely quiet as Cole walks in. He didn't know what to expect, but he still had to join his team. He considered himself a member of the team until they told him otherwise. Nobody said anything as he approached his locker.
"Hey Farrell." Danny said. "I'm glad you're here."
"Hey Cap. I won't be long. I just need to clean out my locker." Cole says.
Danny looks at Cole with disappointment and guilt in his eyes. He hated that Cole thought he had to quit the team because he's gay.
Danny tries to get everyone's attention. "Guys. Guys! I have an announcement to make." Danny says as he waits for everyone to stop what they're doing and pay attention to what he's about to say. "We all just found out that our teammate and brother is gay. And he's still a member of this team. If I hear anything even remotely homophobic, you're off the team. If you act like you can't undress in front of him, you're off the team. If you act like you can't shower in front of him, you're off the team. There will be absolutely no exceptions. I am more than serious. I don't care who you are, what position you play, or how you feel about gay people. You will respect Cole, or you will no longer play for this team. Have I made myself clear?" Danny says as he waits for the reaction to his speech. He looks around the room and he sees that everybody is starting to perk up and accept what Danny just said. They all knew that Danny meant what he said when he said it. And he would make sure they're off the team if they step out of line. He is the captain, and they pretty much had to listen to what he said. All of the guys start to gather around Cole and embrace him. If they have a problem with Cole being gay, they knew they had to do it on their own time. None of them wanted to cross Danny. Cole either for that matter. Cole is the strongest guy on that team. A few others were strong too. And they all knew not to take Danny's requests lightly. Danny's dark side was scary. The only person that was stupid enough to cross Danny, was Joe.
Who was now scared as hell.
