Everyone's running from something but we don't know when it's coming...

~Chapter 20~ I think I like her...

Danny's pov:

We sat snuggled up on the couch together watching some television. But I couldn't really keep my attention to it, I was thinking about why her father would to that to her, I mean her own father! There was no way that I would let her walk alone at night through Dublin for the next few weeks, cause what if her dad would come again.

"How late do you have to be at work tomorrow?" I asked her.

"11 AM. And I'm finished at 4PM." She replied to me.

"Good, well I'm gonna walk you to your work tomorrow." I said wrapping my arms around her.

"Why?" She asked a little bit confused.

"Cause I don't want you to walk alone, maybe your dad will come again." I said.

"You don't have to. You know that right?"

"I know, but I want. I want you to be save." I said kissing the top of her head. 

"Thanks Dan." She said kissing my cheek. We sat on the couch for a little longer until I saw out the corner of my eye that Rose was yawning. So I turned the television and all the lights off and went back to the couch and took her in my arms and carried her upstairs.

"What are you doing?" She asked me laughing.

"Getting us to bed, you're tired." I said smiling at her.

"No I'm not-"

"-Yes you are." I said interrupting her with at kiss.

"Fine." She said when we pulled apart. I took us to the bathroom to brush our teeth and when we were done I picked her up again and carried her to the bedroom where I put her down on the bed, stripped down to my boxers and got in next go her. I shuffled closer to me and we just lied there for a few minutes staring into each others eyes. I eventually felt my eyelids getting heavy so I leant over kissed her and said

"Good night princess."

"Good night handsome." She said turning around so she was with her back against my chest. I wrapped my arms around her and fell asleep.

*The next day*

I woke up from the alarm that Rose had set to get up for work. I heard her groaning and turning around to shut it. Then I felt her press a light kiss on my nose and she whispered

"I know that you're awake mr O'Donoghue."

"No. I'm not." I said keeping my eyes closed.

"Okay, well I have to shower all alone then." She said getting out of the bed.

"I'm awake now!!" I said jumping out of the bed. She laughed at me and walked over to give me a kiss.

"Morning." She said to me.

"Good morning babe." I replied to her. We grabbed our clothes and went to the bathroom to have a shower. We stood there looking into each others eyes (and looking at other things...) until we realized the time that we were standing here so we quickly got dressed and ate our breakfast. We took Skyler with us to have her walk to Rose's work and I would take her back with me. When we arrived at her work I gave her a kiss and hugged her. Out the corner of my eye I saw Anne smiling like mad at me. 

"What's so funny?" Rose asked me seeing the expression on my face.

"The way Anne is smiling. It's crazy." I said giving her one last hug.

"I know, she is crazy. But I think that's why I  like her." She replied to me.

"I'll pick you up at four. Okay?" I asked letting go of her.

"Yeah. See you then!" She said.

"Yup. Love you!" I said to her while walking to the door.

"Love you too!" She replied before I could walk out. I took Skyler and walked the short walk back to my house. Just when I walked up to my door I heard a car stop behind me so I stopped to look around to see Glen coming out of his car.

"Hey man!" I said greeting him in a man hug.

"Hey mate." He replied to me. We walked inside together and I made us a cup of tea.

"Dan I-I think that I'm in love." He blurted out when I finished our tea. I smiled at myself knowing exactly who he was talking about that he was in love with.

"What are you smiling at?" He asked noticing the smile on my face.

"Nothing I'm just happy that maybe you've find someone." I replied quickly.

"But who is it? I asked trying to pretend that I didn't already know it.

"Well it's a girl-"

"-Surprise!!" I said sarcastically. 

"You didn't let me talk." He said raising his eyebrow at me.

"Yeah I know sorry. Continue."

"Well I met this girl with new years and we just talked for a while and we had a date a few nights ago. And well I think I like her..." He said.

"And do you know if Laura likes you too?" 

"Laura? Dan, how do you know that?" He asked confused. Shit why did I just say that?

"Well Laura is one of Rose's best friends and she told her that she had a date and stuff like that and then she found out that Laura was dating an irish Glen, who is a drummer in a famous band. So she told me and that's how I know it." I blurted out.

"Wow that's weird." Glen said taking in what I had just said.

"Yes, small world isn't it?"

"Yeah defiantly." 

"But do you know if she likes you too?" I asked again.

"I don't know. Haven't asked her yet." He replied.

"What are you waiting for?"

"I don't know. I just don't know how to do it..." He said looking down at the floor.

"Glen you've got the power! You can do this."

"Haha very funny Dan." He said sarcastically but laughing at the same time.

"No but serious I think you should asked her out again and just tell her that you like her." I said turning serious again.

"I think you're right." 

"No I don't think I'm right. I know I'm right!" I said smiling at him. 

"But could you please not tell Rose, I mean not yet?" He asked me.

"Yeah ok." I replied.

"Thanks, well I think I have to go then now. Preparing a date." He said standing up. I walked him to the door and waved him goodbye. This is gonna be weird if my best friend and Rose her best friend are gonna have a relationship with each other...
