McDanno - A True Hawaiian Love Story

Chapter 15: I've Always Loved You

Steve's P.O.V.

I leant back in my chair, trying to rub last night's non existent sleep out of my eyes. I stretched my arms, immediately grimacing, forgetting that I had my liver poked and prodded at just a week before. I really had nothing to think about, I felt so empty. I feel like every emotion I ever felt has been used up, and now there is no more space for thought or choice. I tried not to, but I picked my phone up and looked at the blank screen.

Danny and I haven't talked in over a week. It's the longest I've gone without seeing him and it was killing me, almost literally. I took a deep breath and picked up the phone. Just as I was about to dial his number, the screen lit up, showing his name. I frantically accepted and held my breath, not wanting him to hear my excitement. I pressed the phone against my ear, "Steve?" He asked. "Yeah?" I answered, trying to sound as casual as I could. "Could we talk? In person, I mean." He said deliberately. "Yeah." I said, hanging up. I seemed cool and collective, but inside I had never had so many emotions running through my body at the same time. This was my chance to tell him how I really felt about him.

I ran out to the parking lot and jumped into my truck, basically throwing the keys into the ignition. I knew exactly where he would be, the only place Danny would go for a serious talk. I was so jittery I had to pullover on the highway, try and calm my nerves. I never act this way about anything or anyone, this is so unlike me that it scares me. But I really do love him, even all of his bitching and complaining surprisingly. I smiled, starting the car up again.
