breaks.
    It is the fight of the decade. Danny lunge’s towards Matt , catching him in the gut flinging him on his back at least three feet away. Matt shoves Danny off of him and jumps to his feet. Everyone notices by this time and the hooting and hollering is so loud it is ear piercing. Matt catches Danny with a left hook to the jaw. Danny doesn’t budge. He doesn’t blink. He looks at him dead in the eye, rub’s his face and smirk’s.
    “Is that all you got?” He laughs. Matt looks shocked, scared even. I think everyone is.
    “I've been waiting for this since you broke CC's heart and her spirit.”
    “She'll always be mine,” Matt hisses.
    “That's where you’re wrong, Matt. She’s mine,” he hisses back. Jenny turn’s towards me, her eyes wide as saucers. Chris look’s confused and I can’t believe Danny seriously said that out loud.
    With that, Matt swings again but Danny maneuvers out of the way and then in something I never dreamed I would witness, Danny unleashes a barrage of punches. His hands are moving so fast it is like watching Bruce Lee on speed.
    Matt fall’s to the ground as Danny jump’s on top of him, and starts punching him over and over again. Matt is bleeding, not moving, and Lea is screaming. Anthony jump’s in trying to pull Danny off but Danny isn’t stopping. Anthony flies backwards. Chris is helping Anthony up and Matt's friends are now in front of Chris and Anthony.
    Lea look’s at Jenny, tears streaming down her face. “Someone’s got to do something!”
    “CC, please.” She cries. “Do something please.” I jump forward and Jenny grab’s my arm. “No CC, you'll get hurt.” I don’t care at this point. This is my fault.
    “Stop!” I’m screaming, “Danny, stop!” I don’t think he can hear me. “Danny, please!” I urge. “Baby please, I love you!” He freezes in mid swing and swings his head towards me. I’m standing there looking at him with my hands clamped over my mouth. I just called him baby and said I love you, in front of everyone, yelled it even.
    Jenny drops my arm, Lea is crying, and Danny, he is just smiling. The sexiest smile I've ever seen from any man. I am standing there not able to move, lost to what just happened. Matt is lying on the ground bleeding everywhere. Everyone is staring at me and Danny is coming towards me. It is strange how everything can go from light speed to super slow motion in a blink of an eye. He looks at me and suddenly all of the adrenalin is gone from his eyes. He is calm, completely collected. You would have never known he was just beating the hell out of someone, except for the bruise that is starting to form on his jaw and the scrapes on his knuckles. He is standing two inches from me staring straight into my eyes. He says nothing, just stares. I can’t breathe. Everything else around me goes quiet, so incredibly quiet. I can only hear my heart beating. My palms begin to sweat, a hot wave of air brushes over me like I am in the middle of the Sahara. He reaches his hand to my cheek brushes it ever so gently. Then just like in a romance movie, he grabs me by the nape of my neck, leans in and presses his lips to mine.
    I could never imagine kissing him would feel so right. It is like we are meant to be together. I part my lips inviting him in. He is so sweet and gentle. He wraps his arm around me rests his hand on my lower back. A bolt of electricity hits me and I shudder. The good kind of shudder, this is like a dream. A dream I never thought would happen but always wanted.
    Danny releases his lips from mine but doesn’t let me go. I am staring into those deep blue eyes watching them sparkle as if I am looking into them for the first time. Time seems to standstill, we are the only people who matter, the only people in the universe, until Chris begins to speak.
    “Are you kidding me? I thought you were my friend? Screw you both!”
    I look away from Danny to see Chris standing there staring at us. He has tears in his
