Chapter Seven

Jess

A warmth radiated off Danny that sent a tingle through me. I was sitting next to Danny Parsons. In a limo. On my way to the prom. Yes, dreams do come true.

The driver looked into his rearview mirror and gave me a reassuring nod. As the car wove through town my mind fumbled to find something to say. Something that could end this awkwardness hanging over us.

“Thank you for doing this,” I said.

He smiled. “Believe me, it is my pleasure.”

My stomach tumbled over itself. “One thing I never understood. Why didn’t you already have a date? I can name two dozen girls who would have sold their firstborn to go with you.”

He laughed, then smirked. “I guess because no one asked me.”

My cheeks grew warm as I looked down at my hands. Being teased by Danny Parsons was different than anything I had ever experienced before. Embarrassing, yet it made me feel closer to him. As if we were sharing something.

“Well, I guess they snooze they lose.”

He let out a quick laugh. My heart melted. I could listen to him laugh all day. It was like hot chocolate syrup poured over vanilla ice cream. Sweet and smooth.

I don’t know what I would have said next because the car turned into a long driveway that led to a big house surrounded by a manicured lawn and overflowing flower beds. I looked up at Danny to make sure this was the place. I had always assumed his family wasn’t very rich. The old truck. The non-brand name clothes. The fights. Not the type of thing you associated with a house like this.

He gave me a quick smile then jumped out before the chauffeur could get there. He held out his hand and gave me a reassuring smile. “Come on. The old man is going to love you. I might have to fight him to get you away and to the dance.”

The world felt unsteady as I tried to wrap my mind around what was happening. Taking a deep breath, I put my hand in his and let him help me out of the car. When I was out and fully situated, I looked up at him with a hesitant question.

He laughed and slipped my arm into his to lead me up to the front door. Okay, new special thing. Walking on Danny Parson’s arm.

Another reassuring smile and we were inside the house. To say I was impressed would be putting it mildly. A high entryway, expensive furniture. Good art. Everything immaculate.

“Papa, we’re here,” Danny called out as he placed a hand on the small of my back and began to lead me deeper into the house.

I took a deep breath as I fought to hold back the panic. I was meeting Danny’s family. What would they think of me? I was positive they would be wondering how had he ever ended up in this situation? Him taking a girl like me to the Prom.

“Here we are,” he said as he led me around a corner and into a living room.
