Little Clifford

2.3

It was a regular day, a few days after Danni had talked to James, Michael and her were in the kitchen eating breakfast.

They haven't eaten breakfast together in almost 2 years.

Danni was actually feeling happy things were pretty much back to normal with her and Michael.

Except the part about not telling him about Luke.

Whenever Michael mentioned Luke, Danni froze feeling like he was going to yell at her about not telling him about Luke, but it never came.

She was hoping Michael was in a good enough mood so she could tell him today.

"How's your food?" Michael asked looking up from his own.

"Good thanks," Danni smiled at him. "Can I tell you something?"

"Yeah of course, Danni."

"Okay-"

Michael's phone suddenly started going off.

He pulled it out.

"I gotta take this, sorry."

Danni's smiled faded but shook her head okay.

He left the room and Danni sighed.

A few minutes later Michael came back into the kitchen and sat down.

Danni could tell that he was annoyed.

"What'd you wanna tell me?"

"Ah, nothing. Never mind."

His faced softened.

"Danni c'mon, you can tell me anything." Michael said reaching over the table to grab her hands.

Danni shook her head.

"Danni, sweetie."

"Luke and I have a thing going right now." She whispered but she knew he heard what she said.

"What?" He asked in disbelief letting go of her hands.

"I'm sorry I didn't tell you." Danni started crying.

Michael got up and walked over to his little sister and wrapped his arms around her shaking body.

"Michael I knew it was stupid but I-"

"Sweetie, Luke already told me."

Danni turned to face her brother.

"What?"

"Luke told me, I guess I just thought he was joking. But I guess he wasn't."

"Michael I'm sorry."

"Don't be if you like him you like him. But I swear if he hurts you I'll-"

Danni started laughing and grabbed Michael's hand.

"I know what you mean." She said.

"Good."

Michael smiled and kissed Danni's forehead.

"I love you Mikey."

"I love you too, kitten."
