The Match ( Daniel Sturridge fan fic )

Chapter 11: Getting to know you...

So we started walking towards the gate entrance of what looked like a park. " So you like strikers that play for Liverpool huh ? " When he asked this I started blushing profusely, I didnt know wheather to just say yes and leave him to cheese all the way to this seceret destination or to just say yes and name all of the different strikers that play for Liverpool. " Yes I do, I think they are so awesome and when they score, I really like their victory dances " I said this because in actual fact, I love the way that Daniel gets excited when he scores and then starts doing his signature victory dance The Daniel Sturridge. It makes me laugh and also has a really fun groove to it ! " well I think thats cool. I also believe that we are here... " when he said this I looked around at where we were and everything looked beautiful. There were candles lit all around the outside of the beautiful old outdoor area (image at the top) There was one set table right in the middle of the area that has a tall candle in the middle with two plates placed at either end of the table. Looking around, I saw that we were actually right next to a big flower garden, it was huge and had trees all around it in a particular pattern. It almost looked like the pattern of a squigly line. Inside the area was dimmed to set the "mood" and   boy can I tell you, the mood was set !!!
In a typical girly fashion, I gasped and was taken aback with what was infront of me. " Daniel, this is so beautiful. This must have taken you forever to do " I half said and asked because it really looked like he put in a lot of work for a first date... wait I just said date omg? " well I had to make a good first impression on you and I think I have accomplished that !" He said this cockily but it was kind of cute at the same time.

We then walked towards the table and he then pulled out a chair for me to sit on. ( this is so romantic ) I then thanked him and he turned to go and take his seat.
"soooo Hannah, what was your last boyfriend like ?" I said this cautiously not knowing what her answer could be or how she could react to me asking.
She then looked back at me from her looking around and I could tell that she felt uncomfortable from me asking that question. She then continued to answer my question.  " he was interesting, I never knew if he was happy, sad angry or annoid. One day I arrived at his house as I usually do on the weekends and I heard from inside the house laughter. So I knocked the door trying to push back all the horrible thoughts flooding my mind at that moment, the door opened and he answered. I then felt calm again only to get my heart ripped out when I saw the red lipstick on his t shirt. A beautiful girl then emerged from behind him, kisses his cheek and told him that she would see him later. By this point I was crying uncontrolably but he just had a blank look on his face. All I could ask was why and his answer was that he didnt know. I then just turned around and walked away from him. And out of his life."
By hearing this I was furious that someone could ever do that to a woman like this, i kept my emotion under wraps because I didnt want her to see how angry I was.
"He's a prick and he never deserved you in the first place" she then just looked at me and said " I know " and then smiled.

When he asked me this, I did feel a bit uncomfortable at first but then I grew to trust his so I decided to tell him. At the end he looked angry but then covered it up with a look of concern and told me that the guy i dated was a prick and that he didnt deserve me. Funny thing though was that i knew he didnt.
"Anyway enough of that, what about you and Jourdon, how did that work out ?" he looked at me curiously like he still had more to say but then gave in and started talking about his ex, Jourdon dunn. "She was a great girl, nothing really happened between us, we just thought that it would be better to stay friends rather than anything more which I agreed with because after all she does already have a 6 year old son she has to look after as well as modeling and then I have my football that I need to work on." I believed what he said because he had this look on his face that i just about recognised, it was a look of a truthfull person.

A man then came from outside in the dark all dressed up and asked for what we wanted to eat. Daniel ordered a cheese burger with fries and i ordered the carbonara because I dont like it nooo I love it. "ok so i have something to tell you Hannah..." I looked up at him expectantly waiting for what he was going to say. "When you came to Anfield to watch the game, that was the first time I actually saw you and I thought you were the most beautiful girl that I have ever laid eyes on. That competition was fake, i knew what your seat number was so i had the competition made around that and it worked out perfectly because you are now here and i am getting to know you." When Daniel told me this revelation I was in so much shock. He saw me... i wanted him to know who i was and my thoughts were answered and came to life. I was so happy with this, I just wanted to get up and run around screaming like a mad woman. I really wanted to call liberty and tell her but i couldn't because 1. That would have been super inappropriate. 2. He would then know that i had a major crush on him and 3. That would also just be kind of rude.
"Oh wow, um... really ? I dont know what to say..." he looked at me sheepishly but still waiting for an answer. "Im sorry I honestly dont know what to say, not many guys or any guy of a celebrity status has ever shown so much interest in me. I am so happy about this though because i too wanted to meet you and get to know you aswell but never thought it would actually happen." I then got a bit shy and as i do put my fingers together and started playing with them on the table. He then reached across and put his hand over mine which caught me off guard. His touch made an electric pulse run down my spine which excited me but also made me feel warm and fuzzy inside. I then looked up at him and all he had on his face was a small smile but looked also a bit lost in thought.
I then smiled sweetly back at him and removed my hand from his grasp leaving no more than a memorabale picture of what just took place in my head.

We then ordered our afters and then decided to call it a night a leave. He then dropped me back home.
I really enjoyed tonight Daniel, thankyou so much for allowing me to accompany you on this date tonight. I hope to see you again soon...maybe at a game ?" I asked this not thinking he would consider going back out with me again. But then what happend next really suprised me...
" maybe sooner than that Hannah, would it be too much to ask for your number now ?" This really took me by suprise, I was ecstatic inside but tried not to show it. He had a shy look on his face but his brown eyes looked hopefull. "Ok" was all I could reply to him with the biggest smile on my face. He then took my phone and saved his name as Dan with a heart next to it. That made me smile slightly. He then walked me to my front door step and then I turned to look at him. After what next happened I decided that tonight was the best night of my life. "Ok goodnight Daniel" "goodnight Hannah" i turned around to go inside when i felt his hand slightly tug my arm back. I then turned around. He then placed his hands on my hips, pulled me closer to him and looked deep into my eyes. "Goodnight Hannah" then placed a sweet and little kiss on my lips. I drapes my right arm around his neck and curesed my left hand on his cheek. His lips felt smooth and his breath was warm. I never wanted his lips to leave mine. I then pulled away and so did he. We looked into eachothers eyes again. He then let go and said goonight once more then turned and walked to his car. I watched on as his steps carried him further and further away from me as he reached his car. He got in, put on his seat belt, turned and waved at me, then drove off.

Well so much for no kiss on the first date !
