I'm on my...I'm not sure how many drinks I've had now and that thought is awfully funny. Saskia and I dance and dance and even though I feel dizzy and funny, I'm having a great time.
I slump down on the sofa, exhausted after a spice girls marathon of songs. I snuggle into the leather jacket, which I had since put on properly.
I sniff it and lean my head back in delight. It smells so nice, very manly and attractive. I want to keep it forever but I can't. I have to give it back. Back to my Danny!
I haven't seen the werewolf guy since my Danny rescued me and I'm glad. I've felt so safe this whole evening, like an angel is guarding me.
I take off the leather jacket, a bit of a struggle, and look at it. It's very nice, a bit worn maybe but that shows it's well-loved. I look up and dizzily gaze at everyone in the room.
I pout and stand up, trying to get a better vantage point. I cross my arms awkwardly, the jacket still in my hand. I'm too small, I can't see anything. My eyes widen as I have a good idea. I stumble my way onto the sofa again, giggling as I go and stand on top of it. I'm a bit wobbly but I can see everyone from up here!
There! In the corner, talking to Mario, a bunny rabbit and Luigi is Danny!
I leap down from my vantage point, stumbling somewhat and giddily make my way over. Danny spots me and leaves his friends, walking quickly towards me as I stumble into him.
"Careful, are you okay?" He asks gently and I nod dreamily, my eyes wandering over his lovely, somewhat familiar face.
"I have your jacket!" I exclaim, lifting it in my hand and shaking it.
He smiles warmly and laughs.
"Yes, you do." He says good-humouredly and I get the impression that he's laughing at me but I'm too happy to care.
I thrust it out to him and he puts his drink down, taking it from me and shrugging it on. I watch him move, slightly mesmerised.
"Thank you, are you having a good time?" He asks and I nod vigorously. I hesitate to answer though, my drunken mind falling back to the boy whom I couldn't find.
"Do you know where Kit is?" I ask suddenly and he looks somewhat surprised.
"Um..." He starts but I'm no longer listening. My head is spinning and I don't feel too well. I stumble forwards and he supports my weight as I lean against him. He feels warm and strong and for some reason I trust him. He guides us over to a seat and I slump into it, closing my eyes for a moment.
When I open them again, his face is right there in front of me. He looks worried.
"I'm ok, just sleepy." I insist and he nods, smiling slightly. My eyes close again without my consent, but they snap back open when I feel a gentle touch running down the side of my face. It tingles and I feel warm and happy and...
His touch disappears and he stands up. I lunge forwards and grab his hand, not wanting him to leave.
"Please don't leave me." I mumble, my hand moving to my forehead as it starts to ache.
He helps me stand up and escorts me upstairs. We go along the corridor and I pause outside Kit's room. I wonder if he's in there.
I move towards the room when Danny stops me.
"Not that one, you're sleeping in here tonight." He says, his voice a little strained as he guides me towards Saskia's room.
"Oh." I mumble, staggering into Kia's bedroom and collapsing on her bed. Danny hesitates in the doorway and I gesture for him to come closer.
He moves into the room slowly and sits beside me on Kia's bed, always keeping a respectable distance.
"Do you know Kit?" I ask, the boy still running through my mind and he nods slowly.
"What's he like?" I ask, lolling back against the cushions.
"I think...that you should form your own impression." He says and I huff.
"Iss what I tried to do this evening and look!" I exclaim, gesturing towards the garden outside the window.
I try to undo the buttons on my cardigan and fail, doing up more buttons if anything. I look up for assistance and he shakes his head.
"I'll go and get Saskia." He says firmly, getting up somewhat reluctantly.
"Danny?" I ask and he turns around, a funny expression on his face.
"You're too good for Sandy." I mumble and he laughs quietly, closes the door and goes to find Kia.
