Number 10 Turner Street !: May 2009

She woke with a yawn as another day broke . She knew that today was going to be like any other, she slowly climbed out of bed and strolled over to the window where she opened the curtains and just watched the rain that fell heavily outside. She couldnt help but frown as she made her way into the bathroom and climbed into the hot shower with no zest for what the day would bring she just stood and let the water run down her body.

After the shower she got ready to go and meet the girls for lunch, she knew that she would have to sit and listen to them going on about their perfect relationships whilst pretending to be happy for them, but inside she was far from it. The only one she could really talk to was Freya, they had been friends for a while and shared everything,but could she share this ? ever since her split from Carleto she had felt as though her life was missing something, she had nothing to wake up for in the morning, no one to come home to, she just needed someone to make her life meaningful again.

As she parked her car outside the restaurant she checked her hair and make up and forced a smile. she got out of the car and approached the girls giving them all hugs and kisses, she took her seat next to Freya, who she had met through Malin at a Liverpool game. The girls had immediately become friends and she was there for her when she split from Carleto. But even Freya couldn't understand how she felt, because Freya had Arby, none of them could not Malin because she had Nando and not Maxine because she had Xabi, but she had no one, the happiness always seemed to be with everyone else.
Listening to the girls chat about their wonderful lives that their guys fulfilled brought tears to her eyes, she tried to hide it but it was useless, Freya put her arm around Dani and told her that they were all there for her, once again she forced a smile and slowly started to explain her heartache, once she had finished opening up to the girls, all they could do was apologise for not realising what she was going through but it wasnt their fault how were they to know that she was hurting because all she did was kept it hidden inside, Malin then expalined that they had arranged for the boys to meet them at the restaurant but would rearrange if she wasnt up to it, but she said that her pain shouldnt stop the others from being happy and that she didnt mind the boys coming along. They all smiled and agreed that they would do everthing they could to help Dani find that one person that could make her life meaningful again.

They ordered a round of drinks and sat dicussing the features that her perfect man would need to have and at that moment Xabi, Nando and Arby walked through the door with someone else trailing behind, she couldnt help but stare this guy was perfect Tall, Dark, Handsome and had a gorgeous Smile, maybe she wouldnt need their help after all. She turned to Freya to try to find out more but at that moment he looked at her and smiled her knees automatically went weak, she knew this was the guy that she needed in her life. he sat down in between her and Maxine, she didnt know what to do, so she whispered to Freya, 'Help Me', Freya Smiled and they excused themselves, in the girls toilets, She explained that this was him, her perfect guy, and how he made her knees go weak just by smiling, it had never happened before not even when she was with carleto, Freya hugged her and they made their way back to the table. The girls returned to the table, exchanging smiles as they sat down. Dani fiddled with her necklace whilst trying to avoid eye contact with the handsome stranger so as not to show her blush.

Arby turned to Freya and passed her an envelope over the table, which she opened excitedly. Dani loved how pleased Freya was when Arby was with her, the smiles, the giggles and laughter. She wished she could share that with someone and that someone was sat right next to her…but she didn’t even know his name.
Freya standing up, daintily running round the table in her Louboutin heels and kissing Arby snapped Dani back to reality.

“Thank you!” she said, kissing him once more on the cheek before sitting back down.
“What is it?” Dani asked.
“Tickets to this weekends game!” Freya smiled, waving four tickets in front of her face,” So girls, who’s up for a bit of retail therapy?”
The four girls laughed in unison, as did the mystery stranger, which made Dani stop and stare. He had a deep, smooth Spanish accent that made her heart flutter.

“She’s just like you said she was, Arby,” the stranger said, smiling at Freya. Dani’s heart sank. He looked at Freya as though she was the only one present at the table. Dani wanted to scream, why Freya? Her life was so perfect; nice parents, incredible house, a boyfriend who loved her more than the earth itself and now she had the undivided attention of the man she wanted.
Freya smiled coyly and reached her hand across the table to shake his outstretched hand.
“And who, may I ask, are you?” she asked, whilst secretly winking at Dani.
“I’m Pepe,” he said, releasing her hand.
“Well Pepe, shall I introduce you to the other girls?” she offered.
“That would be lovely”
Freya went around the table introducing Malin and Maxine in turn and explaining to Pepe that, in no uncertain terms, they were spoken for. When Freya got to Dani, she held Pepe’s attention.
“And this is Dani,” Freya finished.
Pepe looked to Dani and stopped. Dani averted her eyes only to return them to his gaze; he was captivating.
“Pleasure to meet you,” he said, taking Dani’s hand and kissing it softly.
She thought that right there she would drop dead and if she had, she would’ve died happy.
"Pleasure to meet you too," she said Smiling and trying not to blush. For the first time in a long time a smile came to her face that wasnt forced what she felt inside was pure happiness.

They looked deeply into each others eyes and after a while they realised where they were and turned to face everyone else at the table, Dani glanced at Freya and smiled whilst whispering "thank you" , Freya nodded to acknowledge what Dani had said. from that moment on this day was by far the best day in her life, so with that she cheered up and joined in with the conversation that was going on around the table, whilst every now and then glancing at Pepe next to her.
she knew his name and she knew he was a perfect gentleman but she wanted to know more, after all this is the man that she could quite happily spend the rest of her life with. As the boys turned to leave Pepe whispered into her ear " you look Beautiful" . she turned and smiled, after the boys had gone she told the girls everything. about how he called her beautiful and how she had to know more. and enlisted their help they all agreed to find out as much as possible about him and Maxine even got his number.

The night before the Liverpool Game the girls Gathered at Danis house, they sat drinking cocktails and giggling most of the night every now and then Danis phone would bleep and the girls would ask who kept texting her but she gave nothing away. they kept on and on until she finally gave in and explained that since she got Pepes number off of Maxine, they have been talking non-stop, and that just the night before they were on the phone for 2 hours, and in unison all of the girls replied "Awww" , the next message that She Recieved was one of the best she had ever recieved Pepe was asking is she wanted to go out for Dinner on Sunday, she had a smile on her face from ear to ear whilst writing her reply "yes!"........... she shrieked with Excitement as did the girls they all raced to her Closet to pick out an outfit.

Dani was pacing up and down her living room in her dressing gown. It was Sunday morning and her date with Pepe was mere hours away and here she was in her dressing gown and slippers with her hair in a scruffy bun and no make up on. Bloody marvellous. But Freya and Malin were on their way round to kit her out which made her relax a little; if there were two people in the world who knew how to prepare for a date it was those two. They had had plenty of experience getting ready for dates ever since they arrived in Liverpool; footballers, students, male models, you name it, the girls had been on a date with. One of the side affects of being pretty and moving to a city that was in desperate need of some new female additions. But, ever since they had both found their ‘Mr. Right’ in Arby and Nando respectively, they had become professionals in glamming up to be papped out and about with their partners.

Dani glanced at her watch: 10.30.
‘God, what are they doing?’ she thought to herself. She looked out of the big sash window that looked onto her paved driveway just in time to see Freya pulling up in her Mercedes SL350 with Malin just behind in her Bugatti Veyron.
Dani sprinted to the front door and threw it open to greet the girls.
“Thank god you two are here!” she said as Freya and Malin unloaded their cars.
“Christ girls, you’ve brought a lot of stuff,” Dani observed as vanity box after vanity box was brought to her doorstep.
“Trust us Dani,” Malin said,” These are the essentials for a first date.”
Dani was a little taken aback, she didn’t think she would have to put too much effort in, Pepe already liked her and she didn’t want to go over the top in case he thought she was fake.

But she didn’t say anything and allowed her friends to bring the ‘essentials’ in to her house. The girls went through the kitchen and Dani put on the kettle.
“Dani, what are you doing?” Freya said, flicking the kettle off again.
“I thought you might want a cup of tea,” Dani said, slightly confused. Freya always had tea.
“You’re getting ready for a first date, Dani,” Freya said, reaching into her Birkin bag,” You only drink champagne!”
She pulled out two bottle of Cava and Malin fetched three champagne flutes from the cupboard.
Dani laughed. She loved being with the girls; they knew her so well even though they’d only known one another for a few months.

“So,” Malin said whilst pouring the champagne,” Show us the dress.”
Dani ran upstairs to fetch the dress she had picked out especially for the date. It was a short, purple Versace number that she had bought a few weeks ago from Cricket.
She unzipped the dust bag and showed Freya and Malin who smiled. They were fashion gurus in the WAG world and to have their seal of approval meant a lot.
The girls took their glasses and headed upstairs with their equipment.
Dani sat down at her dressing table as the girls began to work their magic. She closed her eyes and relaxed as Freya and Malin set about beautifying her for probably the most important day of her life.

……….

Freya and Malin stepped back from the mirror to admire their handiwork.
“Not bad for only 4 hours,” Malin said as Dani twirled in her dress and black Louboutins.
“Thank you so much,” Dani said, hugging both the girls.
Freya and Malin ducked away and held their hands up.
“No hugging yet!” they said in unison,” You’ll smudge your make up!”
The three girls laughed as Malin and Freya prepared to leave.
“Oh don’t go yet girls, he won’t be here for another 20 minutes,” Dani said, trying to get them to stay as she had suddenly become very nervous.
“Dani, we can’t be here for your date,” Freya said,” But I’m sure you’ll be fabulous. Remember, just be yourself.”
‘That was easy for her to say,’ thought Dani. Freya was probably the most natural flirt she had ever met, everywhere she went she had men falling at her feet as soon as she opened her mouth. As for Malin, they only had to look at her to be under her spell.

The girls left and as she watched their cars lights disappeared she felt the butterflies in her stomach return. She poured herself another glass of champagne and sat on the chaise lounge in the hallway, waiting, watching for the lights of Pepe’s car to come into view.
She checked her phone every few minutes to check if he had texted her but every time it said ‘no messages’. She glanced at her watch: 7.28pm. Pepe said he would pick her up at 7.30 so she rose to her feet, put the glass in the sink, grabbed her clutch and slipped on her Louboutins. She took a long look in the mirror and smiled: the girls had done a fabulous job; she would have to thank them again.

The doorbell rang and startled her: she hadn’t seen or heard a car pulling up the driveway. She peered through the eyehole and saw Pepe stood on the other side of the door in dark jeans and a white shirt and she felt her knees go weak as they had the first time she had ever set eyes on him.
Taking a deep breath, she straightened her dress out once more and opened the door.
Pepe looked at her and smiled which made her stomach tangle in knots.
“Hi,” Pepe said,” You look…wow.”
“Thanks’” Dani replied, that was all she could squeeze out.
“So…are you ready?” he asked, holding out his hand.
Dani didn’t say anything, just took his hand and followed him to his BMW.

………

They pulled up at the restaurant: a small, Spanish restaurant tucked away in Liverpool. Pepe opened her door for her and they walked hand in hand into the venue, something that made Dani not too sure whether she could stand up.
Pepe greeted the waiter in Spanish and he led them to a quiet table near the window.
They sat down as the waiter went to fetch their drinks.
“Wow,” said Dani,” This place is beautiful. I never even realised it was here.”
Pepe laughed and Dani’s heart did back flips: he had to have the cutest laugh she had ever heard.
“It’s the best Spanish restaurant in the North West,” Pepe said,” The boys and I are regulars.”
“By the boys, I suppose you mean Arby, Nando and Xabi,” Dani guessed.
“Of course, that’s how I’ve come to like you so much! They all speak very highly of you. I had to convince them to bring me to lunch with you girls the other day,” he said, reaching for her hand over the table,” I just had to meet you.”
At this Dani blushed. He was such a charmer.
“ Well, I must say,” Dani began,” You came highly recommended in my circle of friends.”
Again, Pepe laughed. He had the most darling sense of humour: something Carleto had always lacked. He really was turning out to be the dream catch.

The evening continued in a similar manner with Pepe cracking jokes and Dani remaining utterly enthralled the entire time. Something about this man was so captivating that she could barely take her eyes of him, not that she would want to.
She wondered to herself how a man like this had managed to stay single.
Following a wonderful meal, Dani excused herself to go to the ladies room where she immediately rang Freya to inform her of the date so far.
“OMG!” Freya screeched,” Get in there. Arby told me everything about Pepe and apparently he hasn’t stopped asking about you all week!”
“Really?” Dani asked.
“Yeah,” Freya replied, “Trust me, he is totally besotted!”
“OK, well, I’d better get back, don’t want him thinking I’ve done a runner now do we?” Dani said before hanging up, reapplying her lip-gloss and returning to the table.

After another hour, they asked for the bill and prepared to leave.
Pepe fetched her coat for her and opened the door to the car. For the journey home they continued chatting. Dani was pleasantly surprised that they had a lot in common and found that she could talk openly to him for any amount of time.
As they pulled up into her driveway, she wished that it wasn’t over. She had enjoyed herself immensely and didn’t want the date to end but she was stuck with the dilemma: should she ask him in for coffee? Or was being too forward?
Pepe opened the door once again as she reached inside her clutch for the house keys and they walked to the door, chatting all the time.
She turned the key in the lock and opened the door.
“Thank you so much for a wonderful evening,” she said, kissing Pepe on the cheek.
“Thank you for coming,” Pepe replied,” Let’s hope we can do it again sometime soon.”
“I’d like that.”
“Me too.”
“Well, I guess this is goodnight,” Dani said as Pepe kissed her cheek once more.
“Goodnight beautiful,” he whispered in her ear.
She stepped inside her house and closed the door behind her. She could’ve hit herself for letting him get away. She had him right there and she’d blown it.
She sighed heavily and was just about to head into the kitchen to finish the champagne when there was a gentle knock at the door.
She turned and opened the door to see Pepe stood there but before she had chance to say anything his arms were round her waist and he was kissing her passionately.
She pulled him inside, slamming the door behind them as she did so and Pepe picked her up and took her upstairs.

The morning after the night before arrived and Dani woke the same as she had fallen to sleep in Pepes arms with a big smile on her face. She looked up to see Pepe was still asleep, all she could think as she watched him sleeping , was "wow". she had finally found Mr Right. She climbed out of bed, Put on Pepes shirt and made her way onto her balcony. the Sun shone, it was perfect, she knew the day would be perfect, Just then Pepe crept up behind her and put his arms around her waist and whispered "Morning Beautiful" hearing him speak still made her heart do backflips and her stomach tie up in knots, but she loved it, she had never experienced anything like this before. She just stood there for a moment before turning to kiss him.

They spent the next couple of hours laughing and planning their next date., the time came for Pepe to leave for training and neither of them wanted him to go but he promised he would ring her later that night. "Ok, Speak soon" she said giving him one last kiss. After he had gone she shut the door and ran inside to organise a meeting with the girls, she just couldnt keep it to herself, she had to share it, she would of screamed it from the rooftops if she could! The Girls arranged to meet at Malins house so Dani jumped in her Audi TT and drove to Malins, as she got there she saw Freyas and Maxines cars in the drive way she pulled up alongside them. She walked up to the door and rang the bell, waiting eagerly for one of them to open it, they took their time, 2 minutes seemed like a lifetime, they eventually opened the door, Malin grabbed the drink, Freya the glasses and Maxine the Strawberries. They made their way to the hot tub, Dani still had the massive smile on her face, the girls knew it must of been a great night because they had never seen her like this. She started going into detail about the night before and how perfect it was, by the end of the conversation, the box of strawberries and a bottle of champers, she had finished her story and it seemed that her happiness was contagous as they all had big smiles on their faces now.

Just at that moment the girls realised that the boys had finished training and had returned home, none of them realised what the time was, Dani glanced at the clock on her phone "16:37" they then all took one look at each other and laughed, they got dressed and made their way through to the lounge where there was a chorus of laughter, Nando wasnt alone he had brung the boys with him, apart from one person, Pepe.
"He went to your house after training because he just had to see you" Xabi said.
"Ok Thanks" she replied, and with that she was gone, she had kissed the girls goodbye, jumped in her car and was on her way home. When she got there he was sitting on her doorstep waiting for her. She parked her car in the Garage and made her way over to Pepe.
"Hey if i had known you were coming round i would of been home" she smiled
"Its fine i havent been waiting that long" he said as he kissed her cheek.
She opened her door and they went inside, as she turned from shutting the door behind them, Pepe grabbed her and kissed her,"God i've been wanting to do that all day" he said,
She Smiled and replied " And i've been wanting to do this all day" she took his hand and lead him upstairs for a repeat of last night

.....................

2 months had passed, things were still amazing with Pepe, so amazing that Dani had moved in with him, and they were planning to go on a romantic holiday together when the season finished. the girls were already on holiday Maxine had been having a dificult time so they decided that she needed to get away from things, and organised a trip to Spain, Dani remembered that maxine said she had always wanted to go to a Spanish football match, so she managed to get hold of 4 tickets to a Valencia game. whilst they were there they met a girl named Gina, she was engaged to one of the Valencia players, Vicente, they sat talking through the entire game, and it turned out they had alot in common from the fact they were all wags down to their love for the beautiful game. for the rest of the holiday girls met up with Gina everyday, she had become one of them, they all got on so well, even their partners knew each other, they were as close as the girls, everytime the boys were in Spain they would meet Vicente and go for a few drinks, Maybe it was fate that they met. The Trip had been great but all of the girls couldnt wait to get home, they all just wanted to be in their mans arms......
Back in the UK, The girls were reunited with their men who they had missed immensely,but no they missed Gina and her wittiness. so with that they all decided Gina would fly over every few weeks just for a catch up. and she would stay in Danis old house for the duration of her stay, at the weekends she was over, the girls would go out for drinks, and then spend the next day getting pampered and relaxing whilst having a good old gossip.

....................

The girls slowly started to get back into their old routines, and on top of that all started planning their summer holidays. Pepe and Dani were going to St Lucia, Freya and Arby were going to Dubai , Malin and Nando were going to the Maldives and Maxine and Xabi were going to Mauritius, everything was set for their holidays, well so Dani thought, Pepe had started acting strangely,the closer the holiday came the more he became very quiet and uneasy, this was nothing like him, everytime she asked him what was wrong he assured her it was nothing and kissed her, she believed every word after all she had no reason not too. but the next day, she started to doubt his words as he grew very distant, he never called when he said he would, and then one day he missed training and he didnt return home...................................

Me and Freya have the most random conversations .. well i say random 99% of the time they end up sex related ..

take yesterday for instance it started off very innocent .. saying how we wanted Wigan to beat Manure it ended up with Freya saying she would kiss Steve Bruce if it meant Wigan winning or me saying i would give Carlos Tevez pity sex if they lost !

today our sex conversation started because of a question i got asked - If i could do ANYTHING that meant Pool would win the title what would it be ? - seems normal right i answered that i would shoot the Entire Man u team and of course Freya said she would SLEEP with the ENTIRE team for us to win the league i mean come on a normal conversation ended in sex AGAIN and then come the convo about my Baller Sex Scenarios game .. and how The Ramos would be the best person to have sex with in a country lane on the bonnet of a broken down car because he would get the suspension going ;) which of course led to us discussing the other scenarios of which Freya said she would Roll around in a hay barn with Arby because she owns horses, i think you can see where this led - me having sex with Pepe Reina on the kitchen table and how good he is because he has big hands ;) (i think you know what i mean)then her having sex with Arby up against a wall in her hallway after an argument - of course we both agreeed on the fact that Taller men are definately better =D which of course led to VERY dirty images and Thoughts in our head and ridiculously big grins on our faces ( Freyas mum got very suspicious at this point)

To be fair this conversation did stop being sex related for a whole of about 2 minutes when we got onto what songs remind us of them Akons Beautiful reminds F of A and Eminems Just lose it reminds me of P (well mainly one bit when he says "go crazy" and then makes that stupid noise because i could so imagine P doing that) and also how much we love the randomness of our conversations because Me and F are seriously the only two people that could have these convos day in day out ....

the sex conversation ended there because it was too much for our brains to handle for today LOL but im sure we will carry on tomorrow .. and the day after .. and the day after that !

watch this space for more on our Random Sex Filled conversations ;)

*Mwah* Love you F ... and our conversations *hugs*
