Mending The Bad Boy

Chapter 4

Danny and I spent the day together just laying around and doin basically nothing.

About 4:00, I started getting ready for our date.

I put on a black dress and red stilettos. I put on a little makeup but not much. Basically eyeliner and mascara.

If he was taking me on a real date, I wanted to look actually nice. I hate dresses and heels but hey it's for the man haha.

My is naturally curly so I didn't have to do anything to that but tame her down a couple notches.

I walk out of our bedroom and see Danny standing on the stair way with a suit on.

The only time he ever wore a suit is when we got married.

He looks at me and just stares.

Both of us just basically drooling...

Sad but true.

I knew his suit wouldn't make it the whole night but I love him for trying.

And these heels wouldn't make the night either. I will be barefoot but for now, I'll suffer.

"Annie, you look astonishing." He says and walks up to me.

"Astonishing?" I ask. "That's not in your dictionary."

"Come on." Danny says and takes me hand.

He leads me down the stairs and to the car.

"Where are we going?" I ask as he opens my door for me.

"It's a surprise." He says.

I smile at him and he shut the door.

We were driving for about 40 minutes out of town when we came to a big restaurant.

Probably bigger than our house.

But it was packed. Not like Black Friday shopping packed, but packed enough.

I hate people. I hate shopping. Like when I say excuse me, don't just look at me. Move !!

Don't take me Black Friday shopping....

Anyway, when we walked inside a waiter lead us to a booth.

We sat down and the waitress came over to me and gave me roses. Not like one rose or a dozen.

Like a big bouquet of roses.

Danny just smiles at me.

"Danny did you do this ?" I ask.

"It was nothing." He says.

"I love them, thank you." I say.

He reaches over and kisses me.

"So anything in particular?" He asks looking at the menu.

I honestly just wanted McDonald's French fries.

"I haven't ever been to fancy restaurant in my life." I say.

"Really?" He asks.

"I lived 30 miles from town, and there's only McDonalds. " I say and laugh.

"Well take advantage of this." He says to me.

I smile and look up at him. To the corner of my eye, I see a couple men looking at us and murmuring.

"Danny." I say silently without trying to move my lips.

"Yes?" He whispers and doesn't take his eyes off the menu.

"Are they talking about us?" I ask not looking at them.

He looks up and over at the guys then back at me.

His foot slowly crawls over to mine and taps it as if to give me a signal or something.

"I think I have to use the bathroom." I say getting up.

"Okay." Danny says.

I walk back and wait for his text.

We agreed that if anything looked suspicious, I would hide and wait for a text from him.

It was just our way of making sure everything was safe.

Danny - all good

I come out of the bathroom and see him siting at the table.

I turn to sit down when all of a sudden a gun goes off somewhere and Danny lunges onto me.
