The Month Of July

Chapter 4

Ryan walks back over to get me another drink and I stare at him in spite. Danny has disappeared, I think he went to the washroom, but that was twenty minutes ago. The guys of OneRepublic really act like typical guys, loud, rowdy and obnoxious. Talking about 'how awesome this would be' but actually really stupid. Glen & Mark sit back and listening, interjecting comments every once in a while.

"Hey, where did Danny go?" I ask Mark.

"I...have no clue." Mark pulls out his phone and texts Danny. "He's outside." He puts his phone in his pocket. I get up to go find Dan.

"Hey Danny." I say gently to the man sitting staring blankly with a bottle of beer in his hands. "How are you babe?" He looks over at me, tears streaming down his face.

"I'm sorry." He wipes the tears up with the back of his arm. "I hate seeing you with him."

"I'll do it soon Danny, don't cry." I give Danny a hug. "Do you want to go inside now?"

"No, I don't want to spend time with OneRepublic, not right now at least."

"Aww, Danny doesn't feel loved." I shove him playfully and he laughs.

"Stop."

"Stop what?"

"Stop making me blush." Danny blushes and looks away.

"Look at me Danny." I say sternly. Danny turns his head towards me and I place my hand on his cheek, pulling him in for a kiss. All I can taste is alcohol but somehow, it doesn't bother me at all. I get lost in the moment, kissing the man I prefer to kiss. Danny gets up, still kissing me. He pins me up against the wall and puts his hands on either side of my head. He turns his head and kisses my neck. The back door of the pub opens.

"Danny," Mark starts. "The other boys went back to the hotel, except for Zach." He totally ignores the fact that Danny's lips are pressed to my neck.

"Mmm." Danny replies, lips still pressed to my neck. He moves up to behind my ear. Mark goes back inside. "Okay, I like Zach, let's go." I laugh and we go back to the table. I slide in beside Zach and Danny sits beside me, putting his arm around me. Danny goes to get another beer and I notice that the drink Ryan went to get me is still there. I smile at the Molson Canadian label on the bottle of my beer.

"Danny seems really in to you." Zach smiles, glancing over at Danny.

"Oh yeah." I say shyly and Mark smiles, probably thinking of what just happened.

"You should go out."

"Zach! Are you betraying Ryan?!"

"Please, Ryan probably doesn't even know how to kiss properly. He needs a good Christian girl, one who wants to save herself. Ryan wouldn't die in that relationship. He can't keep up with your pace. Danny on the other hand, he's Irish." All Zach has to say is he's Irish. Danny comes back and sits down.

"I don't think I want this one." Danny stares at the beer he set down on the table. "My goal is to get the Canadian drunk. The Irish are drunk." Danny takes a swig of his beer.

"Danny, I get the worst hangovers!"

"It's okay, we can be hungover together."

"No, I'm not going to be hungover on a bus." After a few drinks, we head back to the hotel. We've decided to walk, even though I'm pretty sure we should be taking a cab.

"What room is Ryan in?" I ask Zach as we part ways.

"I came in before you and you had no clue what room Ryan was in." Zach winks and catches the elevator.

"Number 12." Danny says twirling the room key in his fingers. Danny can't get the door open so I step in. Our room is nice, I wonder why Danny has a room all to himself though..."I'm taking a quick shower." Danny announces while tearing his shirt off. I walk over to him and undo his pants.

"Why take a shower when you're going to get sweaty all over again?"I look up in his eyes. Danny pulls me in for a kiss and I pin him down to the bed.

"Take your clothes off." Danny moans. I obey him, taking off every last stitch of clothing I have on and Danny doing the same. I unmake the bed.

I can't say it was good, because I'd be lying, it was great. I don't remember much because I was really drunk, but the things I remember...man. Danny has me totally intertwined with him, gripping me tightly. I glance over at the clock behind Daniel. Well, we definitely missed breakfast...I kiss Danny's forehead and he wakes up slowly.

"What time is checkout?" I ask him.

"Five o'clock." Danny replies groggily.

"Okay." I lay my head into his chest. It takes a minute to sync in, but then I realize that Ryan has no clue where I am and I'm still his. I cheated on him...

There's a knock on the door. "Sabrina?" Ryan. Danny's eyes get wider.

"Unmake that bed and get in it." I put on a bra and underwear and hop in the other bed, pretending I'm asleep. Danny puts pajama pants on and goes to answer the door.

"Hey, is Sabrina in here?" Ryan asks.

"Uh, yeah, she is."

"Okay, we're going out for lunch soon."

"I'll make sure she gets out of bed soon." I hear the door shut and Danny comes and sits with me. "How are ya feelin'?"

"Hungover." I moan.

Danny laughs. "It's shitty, I know."

"Can I stay in bed forever?"

"Let's go darling." Danny takes the covers off of me and helps me out of bed.

"I have no clothes."

"I'll go get some from Ryan." Ten minutes later, Danny hands me clothes. I give him a hug and throw the clothes on.

"What number is Ryan's room?"

"103." Wait, does that mean, oh god no. I have a terrible hangover and I have one of two options, take the elevator or the stairs, I'll be sick either way. I grab a room key for Danny's room and quickly write 'Danny' on it with a Sharpie.

"Bye Babe." I kiss Danny's cheek and set off for my boyfriend's room. When I get there, Zach answers the door. "Zach, my suitcase is in here."

"Right, come in. Ryan isn't here though."

"Why isn't he here?"

"He went down to the tour buses with Eddie." I grab my toothbrush, hair brush, mascara and everything else for my hair. I go to leave to get ready with Danny but Zach says I can do it here. "Are you hungover?"

"Yes, I was really drunk last night."

"Did you and Danny sleep in the same bed?" Zach asks. Do I tell him we did more than just sleep in the same bed? He is my best friend, the guy who introduced me to Ryan, the guy who was my best bud in grade.1. And then like I couldn't help it, but I know I could, I tell him.

"We had sex, really good sex. And yeah, we slept in the same bed." I can hear Zach laughing. He comes in the bathroom and high fives me.

"Finally getting rid of Ryan."

"Why are you all for a breakup between Ryan and I?"

"Because I know you can do so much better. Also because if you got married and then divorced, I'd be the one with the blame."

I laugh. "No you wouldn't."

"Then I can lie to you and tell you you guys are perfect for each other?"

"No, Zachary, you know better."

"Totally." He rolls his eyes. I finish my hair and my everyday minimal makeup.
