Science and faith

~Chapter 13~

Amy's pov:

I was driving back 'home' from work but the only thing I've been thinking of the whole day was the event with Danny. I've been replaying last night and this morning over and over in my head. The only thing that I'm sure of right now is that I've fallen for him... But I just don't know how I need to tell him, cause I'm just too damn afraid that It will screw our friendship and that's the last thing I want. Suddenly 'wrecking ball' came on the radio and I turned the volume up and sang on the top of my lungs, hoping that this would take my mind of it even if it for just these few minutes.

Twenty minutes later I arrived back at Dan's house. I parked my car and went inside.

"I'm back!" I shouted and waited a few seconds for a reply. But there came no reply so I assumed that Danny was still at the studios. So I went upstairs to have a shower. I stood under the shower letting the warm water run over my body while I was thinking whether I should tell him or not. I came to the concussion that it would be the best if I'd tell him cause this was killing me. But then again, how should I tell him and how will he react? I sighed and turned the shower of, quickly drying myself and changing into some simple sweatpants and a t-shirt. I wrapped a towel around my hair and went back downstairs. I decided to start making dinner cause Dan could be home soon. 

A few minutes before dinner was finished a car stopped in front of his house and through the kitchen window I saw Danny stepping out and on the other side Jessie came out. He walked around to her side and gave her a hug. I couldn't help the pang of jealousy that I felt when I saw them, even though I didn't need to. I mean, Jessie just gave him a lift home or something and they're friends so it's normal that Dan gives her a hug... I tore my eyes away hoping that they hadn't seen me and put the food on the already laid out table. Seconds later I heard he front door open and close and Danny came walking in.

"Hey." He said smiling. I smiled back at him and said,

"I just finished dinner."

"You're amazing." He said and went back to the hall to put his jacket and shoes of. The weird thing is that it still isn't awkward between us. I mean we hooked up for god's sake, but we act like nothing happened! Not that I complain, cause I rather have this than a tension between us... He came back into the kitchen and sat down at the table opposite me.

"How was your day?" He asked in between bites.

"Good I guess, busy like always. How was the studio?" I replied before taking a sip of my water.

"Amazing." He said with a proud smile. I loved to see how he put his heart and soul into his team to help them. We continued talking about the basic stuff like how our day was and that shit. When we finished dinner Dan insisted on putting everything in the dishwasher so I went to sit down on the couch. The screen of my phone lit up letting me know that I had a text message, so I took it from the coffee table and saw that I had a message from Jessica,

How was your night with lover boy?😏

I reread the text cause I didn't understand what she meant cause I haven't told her yet about last night. But then I remembered the way she was looking at me in the club, she thinks that I've told him and that we're already together. Well I wish we were...

I still haven't told him...

I replied, already knowing what her reply was going to be on this...

I swear if you don't tell him in a few days I'm gonna do it! Just tell him.

I sighed to myself but didn't reply to that. But I knew that she was right, that it was better if I'd tell him.

"You okay?" Dan asked looking at me.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Just thinking." I said and faked a smile.

"All right. I'm going for a shower." He said and walked upstairs. I put my head in my hands and tried to think of how I should tell him. Suddenly I heard a noise coming from Dan's phone and I could see the message on his screen. I know that it's completely wrong but I couldn't help but have a look. It was a text from Jessie saying 'Just tell her!'

I felt my heart sink when I saw this. Why should I tell him if he likes someone else? This frustrated me even more, I finally talked myself to the point that I'm going to tell him what I feel but then I find out that he likes someone else. And what maybe hurt even more is that he didn't even tell me, cause I've always told him when I liked someone and he's always done that before as well... I guess Jessica was right, I should've told him earlier cause now I'm too late.

Half an hour later Dan came back downstairs, I tried to act cool cause I'm sure he'll tell me about this girl when he want to. Maybe he just needs some time. I was watching tv when Dan came to sit next to me and handed me a cup of tea.

"Thanks." I said with a small smile. Out of the corner of my eye I saw him picking his phone up from the table. He unlocked it and opened the message, I saw him sighing and biting his lip when he read it.

"Is everything okay?" I asked even though I already knew what was going on.

"Kinda. Am, I need to tell you something." He said serious and put his phone back down. Here we go, he'd gonna ask me advice about this girl, and silly me I'm gonna him it to him as well cause I just want him to be happy.

"Spill the beans." I said turning my attention to him.

"Well, eh... There's this girl and I kinda like her but I don't know how to tell her or if she likes me back..." He said looking down at his hands.

"I think you should just tell her. You're Danny O'Donoghue, nobody can resist you. And you deserve to be with someone again. You deserve to be happy." I said and I meant everything from the bottom of my heart.

"But I'm scared that she doesn't like me and I'll ruin everything." He admitted looking at me this time.

"Tell me about her." I said with a smile.

"Okay, she's gorgeous, funny, sweet, caring she's just perfect." He said with a small smile.

"You just have to tell her." I said trying to  convince him even though I didn't want to and prepared myself for his reply. Telling me that he was going to her right now, or something like that.

"I think I just did..."
