I put the glass down going to the radio turning it on. I light the red candles on sitting on the couch sipping the wine glass.
I was wearing a red, short night dress, with my hair down curled.
I heard the doorbell ring and I went to get it knowing exactly who it was.I wasnt so surprised when I opened the door.
"Steve?"
I asked"Hey."
He said"Wow. You're really put up for tonight. Going somewhere?"
He asked"I dont.. think you should be here."
I said"I wanna talk about the other night"
He said.I looked at him and then down.
"I know you probably dont. You already hate me. I tried making it up by telling Kells the truth, and now he hates me"
He said"Look, I appreciate what you did. I really do. You fixed everything between me and him. There's nothing more for you to do"
I said"Dani.. I just wanna apologize at least"
He said.I looked at him then away opening the door more so he could come in.
He walked in and I lead him to the livingroom so we could sit down.
"You were expecting someone?"
He asked as he saw all the candles and wine."Yeah. Guess you could say that"
I said"Alright. So, I dont want things to be weird between us. Im so, sorry for attacking you like that at the party. I should've known better not to think like that"
He said.I was quiet looking down.
"It's okay."
I said"Was it true..?"
I asked"What?"
He asked"What you said. While-.. you know"
I said"Oh.. That"
He said"I've always liked you. But I didnt know I'd go that far"
He said looking away ashamed."But like I said. Im sorry. I was drunk. I cant undo it but all I can do is try to fix what I destroyed and apologise"
He saidI looked away sort of insecure as he slowly reached his hand at me. He swiped my hair away from my face looking at me.
"I was hoping there was a way for me to make it up for you.."
He said.Panic started to rise my body so I slowly took his hand off me letting go.
"I think it's better if you go now. Kells will be here in just minutes"
I said getting up and so did he.He started to walk towards the door so I lead him there.
"See you at school"
He said looking at me then turning away out the door walking away. I closed the door just looking at it then pressing my forehead against it.
I went back to the couch sitting down and looking at the wine glass on the table. I took a sip of it then hearing someone knock on the door.
