Chapter 1
Danny downed another shot at the bar. And then another and then another.
"Tell me" A young girl, wearing a short leather skirt and black crop top sat herself next to him. "What would I have to do to get you to buy me a drink" Danny rolled his eyes and ushered the bartender over, and motioning for her the woman to order her drink and then ordered two shots. He took one and passed one to her. She giggled and flicked her hair over her shoulders.
A few more shots later, she took his hand led him to the dance floor. As the music beat, so did their bodies. As she rubbed her hand down his tonned abs, he grabbed her face he kissed her furiously. She licked his lips and bit down on the bottom lip. She grabbed his hand and led him outside.
As they pulled up outside Danny's house he was unable to keep his hands off her. As he fumbled for his keys she continued to kiss his neck. He slammed the door closed and he undone his belt and button on his jeans, then took hold of the girl again, forcing her hand down his jeans, he kissed his way around her neck and chest as they made their way upto the bedroom.
The next morning Danny awoke to an arm drapped over him. His head was pounding as he tried to remember the girls name that lay next to him. He sighed heavily as he rubbed his eyes. He gently slid out of the hold he was in and pulled on his boxers before making his way downstairs.
"Wow..." he heard a voice come from behind him as he stood in the kitchen. He turned around and there she was. The one that he had let get away. Her long blonde highlighted hair, the rosey cheeks and perfectly red lips. The brownest eyes you could ever imagine, yet still had that dazzling sparkle in...or at least they did before everthing that happened.
"Em?" He asked, forgetting that she had a key...after all it was her house too.
"Nice to know you're bringing strangers back to our home" She muttered as she took some of her remaining clothes from the dryer.
"Why the fuck do you care" he said with a venom in his voice. It took her back a little. She sighed and ignored it, carrying on folding the clothes she was packing into a bag. Danny felt the pang of guilt. "Em..I'm sorry..." he started but she interrupted it.
"No, you're right" she replied "I don't care" as she replied, she looked up to see the blonde haired girl standing in the doorway. "Looks like your conquest is awake". She took her bag and shoved past the woman, who instantly ran over to the sink and was sick. Danny pulled a face, Emily took one look at him, shook her head and headed for the front door, slamming it closed as she left.
Once she reached her car, she let the tears flow as she thought back over her relationship with Danny, how in love they once were, how much they had gone through and how much it had destroyed them.
FLASHBACK – 8 months earlier
"Well...what does it say?" Danny asked, jumping up and down like a small child at Christmas. Emily giggled as she held the pink and white stick in her hand. She glanced down and the biggest grin crept across her face. She showed Danny who stared in amazement at the two pink lines that had appeared, his grin becoming just as big as Emilys.
"Does that mean..."
"Yes baby...we're having a baby!"
"Get in!!!" He shouted as he picked her up and whirled her around as they both cried happy tears.
In that moment, they felt invincible. Nothing could destroy their happiness.
End of Flashback
Emily's thoughts were interrupted but a knock on her car window, it was the blonde girl. Emily rolled her eyes before opening her window.
"Yes?" she asked bluntly.
"Sorry, I just, erm, I just wanted to ask...he isn't your husband is he?" She asked slightly embarrassed. Emily let out a sarcastic laugh.
"No love, he isn't! He is all yours" and with that she closed her window and drove off.
