Shocked out of my... socks

Guess what? Danny's got a girlfriend! Yes, a girlfriend, not just a one night thing, nooo. And I could be the lucky one who get to know it first. Hurray! I know I'm acting like a brat but, damn if it doesn't piss me off. It only makes it worse that the girl is such a cutie, a sweet little thing, so vulnerable, urgh. I can't even hate her!


I was totally and absoulutely shocked. I mean, I knew he flirted shamelessly with Jess and wouldn't have been surprised if they got a thing but Kimi... Kimi lost her girlfriend (yes, people her girlfriend) only a few weeks ago. What kind of person starts a new relationship after a few weeks of their loves death? Oh, yeah, the sweet little one's who can't face the ugly world alone.
Everything was normal. I was snuggled up on Danny's lap, playing, teasing each other as usual when he said we needed to talk. I thought, there we go, he got together with Jess. I was prepared for that with my "oh, she's cool, I'm happy for you" speech but when he said Kimi's name I forgot my happy speech. I stared at him with wide eyes, saying "wasn't she all for women?" Yes, that was rude, and obviously not the way a friend should react but well, that's the truth. Of course, I got myself together in a blink of a time and came up with my oh-so-happy-for-you speech but well, it was awkward. There was hugging and everything. And of course, this is top secret because what would the others think. (You know, her girlfriend died only a few weeks ago!!!) And yeah, we are still friends and all and he doesn't want me to feel like he abandons me, yada yada. Sure, nothing changes, just everything. No teasing, no cuddling, no heated fights... It will be like walking on broken glass, damn it. Did I mention that she's sweet??? Alright, I will take a deep breath and just watch every move I make and I will root for them, I will, really. Danny is a great guy and I understand he wants somebody easy to be with and Kimi is probably the girl who he needs. So I'll be just happy for them.
