The Understudy (hiatus)

Chapter Twelve - Daniel

I think I've turned into Will...with the ladies at least. I've got Tyde wrapped around my middle finger, somehow I just kissed her and left her hotel room. Left her wanting more. What is this, a personality transplant?

It turns out there was a problem with the tourbus, again. We're all in hotel rooms, and Kyle decided that he wanted to go clubbing in L.A whilst he had the chance. I took the opportunity of Tyde having her own hotel room and seized it with a white fist. Well, I didn't seize it fully (if you know where I'm coming from) but I used it as an opportunity to talk to her about the kiss. That was no normal kiss, that was a charged and sexy kiss. My mind was spinning just thinking about it again.

So I ended up in her hotel room, sitting on her bed whilst she was colouring in her face with a brown pencil or whatever it's called, wandering how I was going to approach it. I decided to grab the bull by it's horn and just ask her straight about the kiss. She admitted that she felt the sparks too - which gave my body a reason to kiss her apparently. I did ask her if it was bad that I wanted to kiss her again though, there's still some of Dorky Dan inside of me, and she said that we'd both be going to hell if it was bad. Meaning that she wanted to kiss me.

And that's what happened. I kissed her. It was soft and less heated than the first, but it still sent my heart racing. After I kissed her forehead and told her to get ready. She was trembling when I left her room.

Success!

"Are you sure this looks okay?" I asked Kyle for the fourth time as I stared at my reflection. A man wearing black jeans, white converse and a white shirt stared back at me.

"Dan, for god's sake, you're such a girl. You look fine, Tyde'll think you look very smart and you'll both be all over each other tonight and you'll end up having sex with her in her hotel room. Is that what you wanted to hear?" Kyle rambled, tying the lace on his all-black converse.

"Not really," I blushed at thought of sleeping with Tyde. Oh my god, I thought. I seriously was such a girl.

"You look alright, anyway," Kyle mumbled as he left my hotel room and walked into his own.

"Thanks," I sighed back, even though Kyle wouldn't be able to hear me.

"Are you talking to yourself, Daniel?" A female voice giggled.

I looked to the doorway and saw Tyde leaned up against the wall, watching me.

"You look great," I smiled. Tyde's face broke into a shy grin and she stepped forward.

"You do too, but I have to sort out this collar," She said, standing inches away from me and fiddling with the sides of my collar. "Good," She nodded, smiling, as she surveyed my collar.

"You ready?" I asked her.

"You bet," Tyde winked, as I clasped her hand. We walked downstairs into the hotel lobby, hand in hand, to wait for the others. Turns out Kyle hadn't gone in his hotel room, he'd gone downstairs. Everyone was watching us as we made our way to them in the lobby. Kyle wouldn't stop wiggling his stupid eyebrows at us, and Will wolf-whistled at us.

"Shu'up," I grumbled, walking out into the night air with Tyde. Will, Kyle and Woody followed.

"Let's get drunk!" Kyle laughed as he skipped down the busy L.A streets.

I smiled. I wondered what tonight was going to bring. Getting tipsy, twisting and Tyde. Sounded good to me.

But, knowing me, some crap was seriously going to go down tonight. Hopefully it would all be okay.

I couldn't wait for tonight!
