The Rose

Danny the hound

Lizzie

I look at David. So many thoughts are going through my mind. It's all I've been dreaming about for over a year and here he was; asking me out. I'm scared it's all a cruel joke, but the only thing I can see in his eyes is pure sincerity and a little bit of fear. Fear of rejection 

    - Say something; Please Lizzie

David says in a whisper. I take in a breath while I feel a single tear running down my cheek.

    - You have no idea how many times I've dreamed of hearing those words or for how long

    - How long?

    - Over a year! Since the moment I saw you.

I say looking deep into his eyes. 

    - So is that a yes?

    - Oh god yes! I would love to go on a date!

    - How about tonight?

    - As much as I want to say yes; I have to decline. I'm dragging Sarah to the clubs.

He looked at me with nothing but affection.

     - At least you said yes. Now I have to meet this Sarah of yours, since I'm going to be stealing you away from her this vacation

    - I can text her now if you want? I don't think she's at the studio just yet

    - Studio?

I take out my phone texting Sarah

    - Yeah, I've booked the dancestudio for her. Without her dancing, she will be going cray-cray. Especially when she doesn't get to hold Theodore the next couple of weeks.

    - Is he her boyfriend?

    - No; he's her son. My godson

    - So you're the Godmother?

I smiled at David

    - That I am; I can make you an offer, you can't refuse

    - I do love a girl who knows her movie classics

    - Using the L-word already cuz?

I turned around to see this tall man with a smirk on his face. I could see  a small resemblence between the two. I would say they were equaly tall, the same chestnut colour hair; just as thick. You could clearly see he works out and I notices that all women in the café was looking in his direction; almost drueling

    - Lizzie, this is my cousin Danny

    - Hi

I said while shaking his hand

    - Hi yourself. Not bad, Dave; not bad at all. So, am I all alone tonight?

    - No, Lizzie are going clubbing with her friend tonight. I'm guessing a dancebattle yet againg?

David asks me. 

    - You bet!

    - Dancebattle?

    -  You should have seen their battle last night, Danny

    - Last night? Are you the one everyone is calling Rose? People are talking about her nonestop!

    - No, that would be my friend.

    - I would like to meet her

Danny said with a smirk, while he winked at Daivd. I looked at my phone to see if Sarah had written me back.

    - Well you are in luck; she will be here in 10 minutes.

    - Well, excuse me; I will head to the little boys room before she arrive. Maybe I will get lucky; what do you think Dave?

    - You are a hound, you know that

    - And proud of it!

Danny begins to howl like a hound and leaves. I know he doesn't stand a chance, but who am I to crush his dreams
