A Secret to Hold Close Chapter Nine She turned, forced to break the connection with Danny, to find the hand belonged to a really cute guy that seemed vaguely familiar. He gave her a charming smile, not noticing the killing glare that Danny was shooting his way. �Hi I was wondering if I could cut in and steal you for the next dance.� Mylie smiled politely and trying to hint to Danny said, �Sure, think I can give you one dance.� She passed Danny a pleading glance to not be mad as the guy took her out onto the floor but she wasn�t sure that he had gotten her look. As the next song started up he leaned in and said, �The name�s Shane Filan. And you are�?� Mylie smiled, finally realizing why he looked familiar as he was in the band Westlife, and said, �My name is Mylie Larson.� All other conversation was dropped as a faster song played and they just danced. Mylie caught the sight of Danny first talking to Dougie, seeming really mad, and then as he stormed out of the room. Mylie wanted to go after him but she didn�t want to seem rude so she finished the dance with Shane and was careful to not give him any signs that she was interested in him. When the song was done she politely thanked him and excused herself to find Danny ignoring Shane�s stunned expression at her lack of interest. When her golden eyes couldn�t find Danny in the room she headed towards Dougie who was standing talking to some other guys and asked, �Dougie? Do you know where Danny has gone?� Dougie pointed her in the right direction and when she stepped out into garden she found Danny pacing. He seemed really mad and she hesitated before saying, �Danny? Are� are you okay?� He whipped around and when he saw who it was paused and then closed the distance between them quickly and held Mylie�s face in his hands for a second before leaning down and kissing her. She melted and found herself kissing him back. When he broke the kiss she stood stunned and he sighed and stepped away, seeming sorry. Mylie came to her senses and asked, her voice quiet, �Daniel Jones. If you stop kissing me I won�t ever forgive you.� He turned, his face surprised and then he quickly did as she asked. She enjoyed his kisses and returned them. As the back door started to open they stepped apart and quickly straightened their clothes, shooting each other looks. When it showed only to be other partiers, they grinned at each other and Mylie slipped her hand into Danny�s and started back into the party. They danced a couple more dances together and Mylie had to turn down more guys asking her to dance. She knew who she wanted to spend the night with. After a couple more dances Danny pulled her into a private corner and they spent the rest of the time alternating kissing and talking about everything. This night was turning out to be better then she could have ever predicted. When they realized how late it was getting, Danny and Mylie found Harry while Tom and Jess found Dougie and they left the party as a group. The McFly boys reached the girls� hotel and Tom and Danny walked the two sisters up to their room. As Jess headed into the room with a smile at Tom, who had already gotten her number, and Tom headed back down to the car with a smile at his friend, Danny and Mylie were left standing together in front of her door. She smiled, �I had a lot of fun tonight Danny. Thank you.� He returned the smile, �I had a blast too. Do you think I could call you tomorrow morning and we do something, just the two of us?� Mylie almost agreed but paused remembering her promise to her sister to go see the doctor the next morning. Danny caught her hesitation and stuttered, �I mean it�s fine if you don�t want to. I understand... I just thought� I mean, I figured�� He stopped as Mylie laid a finger across his lips to shut him up. She smiled, her finger still in place to keep him from talking and said, �I would love to. But I already have plans for in the morning that I can�t cancel. I was just about to suggest that I call you when I get done and we could meet up somewhere.� She took her finger off his lips and he said sheepishly, �Oh� yeah, I would really like that.� �Good.� She programmed his number into her phone and gave him her own number. Just as she snapped her phone closed she stepped towards the door and said, �I better head in� I have to get up in the morning�� She hesitated, not wanting to leave him. He seemed to sense that and stepped closer and Mylie�s heart gave a small hiccup as he leaned in to kiss her again but the sounds of Tom, Harry and Dougie, who had snuck up from the car to spy on them, making kissing noises from down the hall stopped them. Mylie blushed and Danny turned around to glare at his band members. When he turned back it was to face the hotel door that Mylie had just shut. He smiled and then ran back down the hall to tackle the other guys for butting in. On the other side of the door, Mylie was leaning against the door trying to catch her breath and get the stupid grin off her face. Jess stuck her head out from the bedroom and said with a grin, �So I�m guessing you had fun tonight?� Mylie stuck out her tongue at her sister and ran into the bedroom and jumped on the bed. Jess glanced at her sister, the worry back in her eyes, and said hesitantly, �Mylie I hate to be the worry-wart but I kept my end of the promise and let you have tonight...� Mylie sighed, �I know, I know. I will call the doctor in the morning and go see him so we can figure out what is going on with me. Thank you though Jess, I needed this� this normalness.� The two sisters shared a hug and then started to get ready for bed. Mylie slid out of her dress clothes and into her normal boxer shorts and loose t-shirt and curled up under the covers. As she settled her head on her pillow her phone that was sitting on the table beside her gave a loud buzz. She picked it up, curious about who would be texting her at this time of the night, and read the newest message. �Thnx for the gr8t night. Cnt w8t 4 tmrw Sweet Dreams Danny� She texted back, �I had a gr8t night 2, See u tmrw, night night Mylie xoxo� That night when she fell asleep it wasn�t to the worries of the doctor�s visit the next day or the scary thoughts that she might be sick again and this time with even less chance of survival. No, that night her dreams were of a certain guy and his special smile� Back |
