Falling for the Unexpected

One Drunken Night One Big Mistake...

Danni's POV

After the boys left I showered, cleaned myself up and I went to practice. Mike was there he looked at me and I him but we didn't say anything. Well, he didn't say anything till he needed to be taped before the game, "hey Dann can you wrap my wrist?" I looked up to see Mike standing in front of me I didn't say anything just shook my head yes. Later after we won the game against Centerville one of our biggest rivals Mike walked past me again. "Good... Good game..." I said quietly with my voice breaking. He turned and walked closer, "thanks means a lot babe... I mean thanks, D see ya around." He then left the field. It was an awkward interaction but I could only hope one day we would be over it and be friends again.

<><><>one month later<><><>

"Party tonight and you're going with me and Ty... that's final!" Ash said from the other side of my bedroom door. I was hold up in my room for the past month with one person consuming my mind, Mike! It's been a month since the lie and a month since I couldn't feel my heart anymore.

It was a new tactic of mine feeling nothing instead of hurting. One thing that made this day worse than all the others was that today marked one month of being broken up from the love of my life and one month of Ash not really talking to me. Yes, Ash was still a good brother but he couldn't look at me or talk to me anymore and I know it had to do with either the break-up or what he and Mike talked about the morning after he and I broke up.

Pay, Ash, Ty, and I walked into the party at Marz's place at about 8:30 only a few minutes late. When I looked around the room as I walked in I saw Vince on the couch and Mike had just walked into the living room. I walked straight to the kitchen after that but caught the feeling someone was on my tail. "Hello?" I questioned and then felt a hand on my wrist, it was gentle but demanding. "We need to talk..." Mike's voice broke then trailed off. "I'm gonna need a few drinks if that's gonna happen." I replied turning towards the fridge and grabbing a 'Black Jack Cola' and downing it in two gulps then grabbing a second. "Okay talk..." I replied then trailed off not knowing what to say.

He then took the drink out of my hand dropping it on the table after I had finished it then pushed me against the Island hands on my hips smashing his lips into mine. As he kissed me I was first taken aback and didn't react but then as he deepened the kiss I fell into it I wanted so badly to fight it but I couldn't. I let the kiss deepen and soon he wasn't the one sliding his tongue into my mouth I was griping him making him gasp and sliding my tongue into his mouth. I was controlling the kiss and his back was the one up against the Island and my hands one on his ass and the other entangled in his hair. He broke the kiss first, "What was that? What did that mean?" Mike questioned and I didn't know what to say I can't be with him he deserves better, but why would he kiss me like that? "Upstairs?" I questioned not knowing what else to say. "Baby, is that really a good idea? We haven't spoken in a month and now you just want to go upstairs and have sex?" Mike questioned. "I don't know what I want, all I know is I want you but we can't be together..." I replied and Mike just looked confused. "What are you saying we can't be together Dann? That kiss, us just before we broke up? We were great together D what the hell happened?" Mike questioned and I couldn't handle it anymore. "I have to go, Mike... I have to leave!" I was on the verge of tears and couldn't breathe. I walked outside and to the backyard where there were still a bunch of people so I walked back inside and up to Marz's room to calm myself down.

Marz and Lo must have seen me go upstairs because the came bounding into Marz's room a second later. "Girly what's up?" Marz questioned as they both wrapped their arms around me. "Mike and I kissed and I need him back I just can't let it happen not right now at least, he deserves better..." I replied tears dropping. "What do you mean he deserves better? You are the best I've never seen my brother happier than when with you and never seen the boy more upset then the day you two broke up." Lo answered and questioned. I again just walked out of the room and downstairs where I bumped into a very horny Vince.

"Well hey, pretty girl..." Vince slurred just a bit but was defiantly sober enough to know exactly what's going on. "Hey, Vince..." I replied looking just past him as Mike walked into view. Vince grabbed my waist and looked me in the eyes, "wanna dance or get out of here?" I smiled a shy girl smile as I saw Mike get closer. "Take me away..." I said just as Mike came in earshot and I knew he heard because he stopped and stumbled back as if he had actually been shot. Once Mike realized what was happening he swooped in and ripped me (gently) from Vince's grasp and walked me to his car.

"What the hell was that back there at the party?" Mike asked finally once we were in my room and he was tucking me into my bed. The car ride and the walk into my house had been completely silent. "Why do you care I've made plenty of mistakes and that wouldn't even be my first big one these past few months!" I yelled back at Mike. I, of course, meant my mistake was breaking up with Mike but I wanted him to hurt for whatever reason so I said these past few months so he would think I was talking about our relationship or even when we had sex. And I knew that's where his mind went the second those words left my mouth I could see it in his now hollow blocked off eyes. "Were we really a mistake? You know what forget it I'm out of here..." Mike trailed off turning towards my door but not yet moving. "Mike I didn't mean it like that, you know what can we talk about it tomorrow I'm tired..." I trailed not knowing what to say. "Ya, I'll just crash on the couch," Mike replied making a move for the door I caught his arm just in time. "Stay with me... Please, I sleep better when you're here." I choked out and he dropped onto my bed kicking off his shoes and crawling in. He then laid on his back and I cuddled into his side his arm cradling me to him. "Thank you..." I trailed and then yawned drifting off to sleep. I could have sworn I heard Mike say, "I love you D always have always will... Get some rest Love I'll be here in the morning always." I simply replied back, "Love you too Mikey..." And I could have sworn his arms tightened around me.

"Morning sunshine!" Mike chirped kissing my neck and lips. "Mike why are you in my bed?" I questioned groggily. "Do you remember last night? Mike questioned. "I know you had a few but..." Mike trailed off. "No, I remember now it just took a minute..." I replied slowly. "Mike I'm sorry about last night I wasn't thinking straight... You have to go home I'm sorry..." I said and for the first time in a month, I cried. Mike hugged me tight like it was the last time he'd ever feel my warmth then kissed me deeply and again like the last time he ever would and then left.
