Untitled Chapter Two When Harry and Danny were dry again they went over to Dougie and Tom�s apartment. Fletch had stopped his yelling but still gazed dark at the boys. McFly had become quite good at seeming remorseful in front of Fletch, their manager. Over the years they had gotten some first class training. �So�� Fletch started talking. Danny could see the usual streak of boredom appearing over Dougie�s face. It wouldn�t be too long until he�d completely drifted off. The only one that really listened to Fletch during these moments was Tom. Danny tried, but he couldn�t seem to keep up. Sometimes he wondered why he didn�t just drift off as Dougie but he had to seem professional. Everyone had him pinned down to be this charming, but quite stupid young lad. He could agree with the charming part but wasn�t too fond of people calling him stupid, even though he didn�t let anyone know it bothered him. After another hour Danny had no idea what they were talking about anymore. He nodded along and tried to keep an interested look on his face. Danny�s watch started beeping catching everyone�s attention and pulling Dougie and Harry out of their daydreaming. �Oh! That�s right! I have this�thing� Danny smiled and got out of the chair. �What �thing�?� asked Fletch while eyeing Danny intensely. �Ehm�This real important thing I just have to do� Danny assured them and waved goodbye as he made his way out of the apartment. Fletch turned to the remaining McFly members for an answer. �A date probably� Harry guessed. Danny hurried out of the apartment and went straight to the elevator. `A date? Perhaps�� Danny could himself just barely remember what the beeping was about. He hit the down button and watched eagerly as the elevator made its way to his floor. Lazy as he was he had chosen to take his time with the elevator rather than rushing down the stairs, plus he could use the extra time to figure out where he was supposedly meeting his date. Despite how hard he was thinking when he stepped into the elevator he did notice he weren�t alone in there. � �Afternoon� was all he managed to get out through the fog of concentration. With a little rumble the elevator started going down. Within the minute the elevator safely arrived at the floor below. Since no-one wished to get neither on nor off here it continued down rumbling a little. All of a sudden, in between floors, the elevator rumbled again before stopping completely. �Hey!� Danny said loudly, slightly panic-stricken. He started pushing all of the buttons he could see but nothing happened. He gave up and turned around facing the other person occupying the elevator. He hadn�t noticed until now that it was a girl, a quite cute brunette with some tendencies of red in her curly hair. �Broken I guess� he said and pointed towards the buttons. �Hi� she said. �Oh, sorry. Hi, Danny Jones� he said reaching out to shake her hand. �Hayley Bell� she introduced herself while shaking his hand. �So may I ask what a good looking girl like yourself might be doin� in my building? Cause you don�t live here, I would�ve noticed� he said flirtatiously. �No I don�t actually� she said smiling widely. I�ve visited a friend who does. �Male friend? As in boyfriend?� he asked curiously. �No� she giggled. �Oh� No as in: no I don�t have a boyfriend?� he asked even more flirtatiously. �As a matter of fact no I don�t have a current boyfriend.� �Ah. Ok, but now you�re thinking you�d really like this fit lad you met in the elevator to be your boyfriend?� She smiled widely and laughed a little. �Well I usually base my judgement on more than just a quick hi in the elevator but, yeah, I guess the lad I met here yesterday seemed cool.� They laughed. �So where does your friend live?� �The floor above you� she answered �your waste of water is actually why I took the elevator� she explained flashing a sexy little smile. �Oh� Sorry about that my mates can be a bit immature sometimes� Danny tried to explain seriously but he couldn�t really pull of the lie and smiled widely. �Yeah, I bet� she said raising an eyebrow in disbelief. �How do you think Danny�s doin� on his date?� Dougie asked bored. �Probably real good. His dates always go well� Harry said even more bored. �Yeah� Or at least they end up quite well� Tom said jokingly and they all had a bit of a laugh. Two hours had past and the two still had had no contact with the real world. It wasn�t all bad though, Danny thought as he started a conversation about his favourite subject, music. �So, have you ever heard of McFly?� Danny asked even though he already was quite sure what the answer was going to be. �Yeah, your band. I know. I actually must admit I�ve got your albums.� �Yeah, you know as soon as I saw you I thought; this woman seems to have good taste in music� he said gesturing widely with his arms. �So, what else do you listen to?� �Well I like all kind of rock`n�roll, some heavy metal and some punk. Not that much pop, McFly is the only exception� she explained. �Oh, do you listen to, like, Bruce Springsteen? The Who?� he asked interested �Yeah. My dad is a big fan of The Beatles and Rolling stones and he�s been dragging my whole family with him to Clapton concerts my whole life. To be honest he�s been brainwashing my entire family with 60th music for as long as I can remember.� �Me too!� Danny shouted over excitedly. Bruce and The Who are my idols! �Yeah I know. I think all of England knows� she laughed and Danny caught himself admiring her cute little giggles. Back |
