'I see. So little Sammie here is off limits?' His words were dripping with jealousy, well that and deep sarcasm. Damn it, he even said my name in inverted commas. Literally, why would anyone waste their time on this prick. Why the hell couldn't Danny see through it. Men. Typical.

After tapping my foot on the floor for several moments, let the words escape my mouth, anger had been building up inside me with every time his eyes flicked to mine, with every sick smirk that had graced his features, and with every sarcastic comment since we'd told him the news. Prat.

'Three things. One, I am not 'little', in anyway, shape or form'. A light chuckle slipped his lips as i hesitated, pausing for a second to concentrate fully on his reaction.

'I'll bare that in mind angel'. And with that, he winked at me. Bastard.

Ignoring his comments, i continued with my little rant. 'Two, i was always off limits, especially to you, you just never took the time to ask, you decided you wanted me and that was it. Well too bad, for starters, you'd have to be the slightest bit good looking to get with me, and that, you are not'. Watching his Jaw drop was one of the best sights i've seen since i got here. And probably will be the best one for the rest of my time here, forget big Ben or the London eye, that look, was priceless!

From behind me, Danny patted my shoulder in approvment, giving me the support i needed to continue.

'And finally, about what you said in my room earlier, you may want me, but i can promise you this now, your never doing to get me. I'm not in the habit of dating obnoxious bastards'.

As his jaw dropped further, nearly hitting the floor, i sighed- finally content with my life. Taking the opportunity to prove i'd won and close the debate once and for all, i took a bow.

'Thank you, and god night. I'll be in my room, with MY boyfriend, so i'd keep the TV volume turned up'. Letting a smirk grow on my lips, i dragged Danny out of the room and straight up the stairs, leaving a shocked Matt downstairs still slumped in his arm chair.

As i continued to leave him upstairs, his laugh became louder and deeper, and i watched as amusement danced in his eyes every time i turned around, proving to me that he found my little show incredibly funny.

'Sammie?' he whispered as we got to the door of my room, his tone suggested he was scared, scared of pushing his luck with me, moving too fast.

'Mhmm?' I asked, pausing by the door, anxiously waiting for his answer. This, was crazy. I'd never been so obsessed with trying to convince someone i was a good person. I didn't want to put one foot wrong. It was as if this, right here, me and Danny, was the one thing i desperately wanted to hold on to, like nothing else mattered.

'You don't think we're moving a bit too fast?' The question i'd been waiting for finally slipped his lips. Sighing, i gripped his hand tighter.

'Danny, its just sitting in my room. This is your house remember?' I chuckled at his expression. He'd been hoping for more but waiting for me to reject this suggestion. Teasing, was my speciality and i intended to take advantage of the skill every time i saw opportunity.

Instead of making himself feel like even more of an idiot than he already did, he just nodded and tightened the grip on my hand, waiting for me to invite him inside.

However, his hand quickly dropped when the door was shut behind us both, blocking out all thoughts of Matt and my mother. I smirked at the expression playing upon his face at that moment, it was a clear look of shock, which i guessed was because of what i'd done with my room. A transformation had taken place inside, only the colour of the walls and the window position the same as when he first let me in earlier this afternoon.

'You like what i've done?' Keeping my smirk in place, i waited for his reaction, suddenly overcome with nerves as he continued his hesitation.

Sighing, i decided to do what was best, put things back to normal. 'Forget it, i'm sorry, i'll put it all back to normal tomorrow- promise'. I'll admit, i was gutted. This whole thing was meant to be a new start and i'd wanted things to be totally different.

After admitting defeat and agreeing to letting him have the room back the way it used to be, he grabbed my waist and lifted me off the ground as he walked with me, until my back hit the wall.

'Danny, what ar...' His lips crushed my own before i had time to finish my sentence. Finally, he'd actually spent me off my feet. Honestly, i'd always thought that only ever happened in fairy tales. i guess there was a lot i didn't know about love. Mainly because i'd never given it a chance. I'd dismissed everyone that waited a life time to feel exactly like this. It'd only been a day, but i'd fallen harder and faster than i knew humanly possible for this guy. Damn it. I'd been here one bastard day and cupid had already shot me right in the ass. Flaming typical.

'Well, that was nice'. Stating the obvious, i let the largest smile i could manage escape onto my lips. Still in his arms, i watched as he mirrored my grin.

'More than nice. Flaming amazing. Just like you'. I failed at trying to keep control of the blush creeping onto my face. Damn him.

Smirking, he spoke again before i had chance to string a sentence together. 'Your blush, is cute'. At his comment, i grinned like crazy. Like my mom after she'd found out my dad had walked out.

Shaking that thought out of my head, i continued to grin as he leant in once more. Even as his lips connected with mine, my grin never faltered, i carried on smiling through our kiss. Every time we kissed, i honestly felt as if fireworks went off inside of me. There is no other way to describe that feeling. Its an impossible thing. Love, really was magical.

Discovering two things in just one day?! I think thats the most you've ever learned at one time!

....Shut it.

Pulling away, that same smile was playing upon his features. Slowly, he dragged a finger gently up and down my arm, giving me goosebumps as if i'd never felt a touch like it before. Well it was truth, i hadn't. It was slow, gentle and incredibly distracting. But still, i enjoyed it all the same.

Slowly, he placed his head against my forehead and leant towards my ears, his breath sending shivers down my spine. 'You're amazing'. All this compliments, were going to be the death of me. He, was going to be the death of me.

'Danny, i'm tired. I'll see you in the morning, okay?' I whispered back. And to my confusion, he chuckled at my words.

'You, say the most romantic things you know. But okay. I'll see you in the morning angel'. Angel, he really was the sweetest thing.

And with that, he backed away, leaving my body tingling with the absence he'd created, shutting the door behind me. Standing in the dark, i sighed. Something told me that here in London, i was going to have the greatest time of my life.

Finally, something decent.
