THE PERFECT JOB NEVER HAPPENED. THERE WAS NO 'PERFECT JOB'. ROSS THOUGHT HE'D HAD IT IN THE BAG, HIRING HER TO TAKE DOWN HIS BEST FRIEND AND THEN MOVING ON, NEVER TO BE IN THEIR LIVES AGAIN, BUT IT WASN'T GOING TO BE THAT EASY. IT HAD TAKEN HER ALMOST FIVE YEARS TO GET EWING TO PROPOSE TO HER, AND NOW HE FINALLY HAD. SHE'D FELT AS LIGHT AS AIR, AND SHE REFUSED TO ADMIT THAT IT COULD BE BECAUSE SHE ACTUALLY HAD FEELINGS FOR THE MAN. NO, HE WAS THE TARGET, AND SHE COULDN'T GET THAT INVESTED. HOW COULD SHE BREAK HIS HEART IF IT WOULD BREAK HER OWN AS WELL? NO, SHE COULDN'T LET HER HEART GET INVOLVED IN ALL OF THIS. THEN THERE WAS THE MATTER OF ROSS. HE WAS A SNAKE, A DIRTY ROTTEN SCOUNDREL, AND SHE WAS WILDLY ATTRACTED TO HIM. SHE HATED HIM, OF COURSE, AND HE WAS HER EMPLOYER, BUT SHE COULDN'T DENY THAT DAMN PULL SHE FELT TOWARD HIM WHENEVER THEY HAD THOSE HEATED ARGUMENTS OVER WHETHER SHE WAS CONVINCING ENOUGH IN BEING IN 'LOVE' WITH HIS FRIEND. ALL THAT ASIDE, THE JOB HAD BEEN GOING SMOOTHLY. EWING HAD FINALLY PROPOSED TO HER, AND THEY WOULD BE MARRIED (ALTHOUGH NO DATE HAD BEEN SET). AND THEN SHE HAD COME ALONG: DANIELLE CASSIDY. SHE HAD GROWN UP AROUND THE TWO BOYS AND HAD CAPTURED THEIR HEARTS AT AN EARLY AGE. SHE WAS PART OF THE REASON ROSS HAD SET UP THIS WHOLE DEAL. BREAKING HER HEART WAS PAR TO THE COURSE OF BREAKING EWING'S HEART. ALTHOUGH YORK HADN'T GROWN UP WITH THEM, SHE ALREADY KNEW THE BITTERNESS THERE AMONG THE FRIENDS DUE TO DANIELLE CHOOSING ONE OVER THE OTHER. IT WAS NO SECRET - AT LEAST TO HER - THAT ROSS HATED HIS BEST FRIEND FOR THE GIRL CHOOSING HIM. BUT YORK TRIED NOT TO GET INVOLVED IN THEIR DRAMA ANY MORE THAN NECESSARY. SHE WAS JUST A PAWN, AN ACTOR IN THIS WHOLE CHARADE. ONE DAY, SHE WOULD MOVE ON AND NO LONGER HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT ALL OF THIS. BUT FOR NOW, SHE HAD TO WORRY ABOUT HER COMPETITION. DANIELLE CASSIDY COULD MAKE THIS WHOLE PLAN BLOW UP, AND YORK WOULD BE OUT OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS. SO YORK HAD DONE THE FIRST THING TO COME TO MIND: SHE'D INVITED THE YOUNG WOMAN OUT TO LUNCH. KEEP YOUR FRIENDS CLOSE AND YOUR ENEMIES CLOSER, RIGHT? AS SHE SLID INTO HER SEAT TEN MINUTES EARLY FOR THEIR LUNCH DATE, SHE SMOOTHED HER RED DRESS OUT OVER HER THIGHS AND PERUSED THE DRINK MENU. HER FATHER HAD TAUGHT HER MOST OF WHAT SHE KNEW ABOUT BEING A CON ARTIST, AND HE'D TAUGHT HER THAT THE WAY YOU DRESS IS FIFTY PERCENT OF THE CON. SHE KNEW SHE SHOULDN'T HAVE WORN RED - IT WAS A COLOR OF CONTENTION AND PASSION LIKELY TO STIR UP AGGRESSION - BUT SHE WAS FEELING AGGRESSIVE TODAY. THE TERRITORIAL BITCH WAS COMING OUT IN HER WHETHER SHE LIKED IT OR NOT. EWING BELONGED TO HER - WHETHER THAT WAS ONLY A TEMPORARY THING OR NOT DIDN'T MATTER - AND SHE WASN'T ABOUT TO LOSE HIM OR THE TEN MILLION DOLLARS SHE WAS GOING TO GET FOR MAKING THIS DEAL GO DOWN. PLASTERING A SMILE ON HER FACE THAT OOZED SINCERITY, SHE WATCHED THE DOOR FOR HER COMPETITION. BRING IT ON.

tearing love apart,

Danny was still getting used to being in Boston, seeing Ewing and Ross again brought back so many good memories of growing up, but still it was hard for her to see Ewing again, especially after hearing about this new engagement of his. It made her think about when they were together, when she had chosen him over Ross, it killed her to think that if she could have chosen him over Ewing she might not of had to go through what she had. Shaking her head she pushed those thoughts out of her mind, reaching behind herself she zipped up her dress, standing up she smoothed it out and looked at herself in the mirror, double checking that her hair was just perfect. She looked down at her puppy as she jumped up on her leg, yapping, Danielle just laughed, bending down she scooped the dog up and cuddling her for a moment she kissed the top of the pup’s head before putting her down and walking over to the door, “Baby girl, I’ll be back, don’t get into any trouble for goodness sakes place?” Having to stay up in a hotel room for right now, she was allowed to keep the puppy in the room as long as she didn’t chew anything up, and while baby was pretty good about it, she was still a puppy, and true she would much rather just stay there for lunch and relax and try to get her head together but she had somewhere to be. Meeting York Talbot for lunch, she tried to keep her mind about not judging this girl without knowing her, but the fact that Ms. Talbot was engaged to the man she still loved made it hard for Danny to remember her manners. Glancing at the time on her phone, she grabbed her shoes and darted out into the hall, hopping as she tried to get one on before carefully sprinting -as fast as she cold in these heels- toward the elevator door that binged open within moments.

Traffic had sucked, so Danielle had been only a few minutes late. Walking in the front door with a smile on her face, she held her breathe for a moment scanning the room for York, finally seeing her, she flashed an overjoyed smile and waved, walking over, she never took her eyes off the girl. Dainty, little, looked skinner than an anorexic mini model, and her hair, ugh. Danny tried so hard to keep herself from ripping the girl apart right there, instead as she walked closer she had a hand over her heart and she rolled her eyes. “My sincerest apologies sugar, I got caught in that darn lunch time traffic, so terrible. I do thank you for not leaving on account of my tardiness.” Carefully sliding out a chair she sat down, crossing her legs at the ankle, tucking them right under her, she fanned herself with one of the menus for a moment, “I do apologize Ms. Talbot, living up in Alaska for five years, I’m still adjusting to it getting so hot up here, at least there if you did get hot ya’ll could just go for a quick swim and be perfectly freezing. Have you ever gone swimming at a glacier? It is magical. Sorry, you don’t wanna hear about no silly glacier, anyway how are you doin’ peaches?” She flashed another momentary smile at the girl before looking down at the menu, carefully reading it over. Before putting it down for a moment and looking the girl over once again, the dress she was wearing simply consumed her, and her shoes definitely did not compliment it, unlike her own outfit, the perfectly fitted red dress, nude pumps, it was a classic, but with her it something that made her stand out in a crowd of other blond haired blue eyed girls in red dresses, the golden girls, the winning smile and ah yes that southern belle up-bringing that she was trying so hard to stick with right now as she sat across from the woman who would essentially be the only thing standing between her and Ewing.

SHE HAD TO WEAR RED TOO? THEY LOOKED LIKE TWINS, DAMN IT. DANIELLE HAD THAT PERFECTLY COIFFED BLOND HAIR AND VOLUPTUOUS FIGURE THAT MADE YORK WANT TO GAG. SHE HAD HER OWN CURVES, BUT MEN COULD NEVER SEE HER OVER THOSE BOOBS THE BLOND HAD ON HER. THEY WERE LIKE TWO BOWLING BALLS STUFFED INTO HER DAMN SHIRT. BUT YORK MAINTAINED A PERFECTLY GENTILE SMILE THE WHOLE TIME AND NODDED UNDERSTANDINGLY AT DANIELLE'S MENTION OF TRAFFIC. SHE STRUGGLED NOT TO ALLOW HER GRIN TO TURN INTO A SNEER AS THE GIRL'S SOUTHERN ACCENT POSITIVELY DRIPPED OUT OF HER MOUTH, AND SHE SHRUGGED HER SHOULDERS SLIGHTLY AS SHE HEARD DANIELLE'S APOLOGY FOR RUNNING LATE. "THE WAIT MEANS NOTHING WHEN YOU'RE WAITING FOR GOOD COMPANY, RIGHT?" SHE ASKED, SMOOTHLY MAINTAINING A PERFECTLY POLITE TONE ALTHOUGH SHE WANTED TO GROWL AT THE OTHER GIRL. WHAT WAS WRONG WITH HER ANYWAY? THIS WASN'T LIKE HER. SHE WAS ALWAYS SO COOL-HEADED, AND SHE REALLY DIDN'T HAVE ANY REASON TO DISLIKE DANIELLE. EWING WAS JUST A PUPPET IN THE GRANDER SCHEME OF THINGS, AND SHE WOULD HAVE TO BREAK HIS HEART IF SHE WANTED HER TEN MILLION. HOWEVER, SHE COULDN'T IGNORE THE TINY NAGGING IN HER HEAD THAT POINTED OUT IF SHE BROKE EWING'S HEART, IT WOULD ONLY OPEN UP THE OPPORTUNITY - DOWN THE ROAD - FOR HIM TO RUN BACK TO THIS BLOND SITTING ACROSS THE TABLE WITH HER PERFECTLY CROSSED ANKLES AND STARLET SMILE. WAS SHE JEALOUS? SHE TRIED TO TELL HERSELF SHE WASN'T, BUT SHE KNEW SHE WAS. IT HAD BECOME MORE OF A JOB FOR HER WHEN SHE'D FELT HER HEART JUMP WHEN EWING HAD FINALLY PROPOSED TO HER. FOR THE BRIEFEST OF MOMENTS SHE FOUND HER EYES STRAYING DOWN TO THE ENGAGEMENT RING WHICH CHAINED DOWN HER RING FINGER, BUT SHE WAS BROUGHT BACK TO THE PRESENT AS THE BLOND BEGAN GOING ON ABOUT SWIMMING IN GLACIAL WATER. "I HAVE TO ADMIT I HAVE NEVER SWUM NEAR A GLACIER," SHE COMMENTED, FEELING THAT THE OTHER GIRL WAS TRYING TO ONE-UP HER ALREADY. SHE HAD BEEN TO ALASKA BEFORE, ACTUALLY, BUT SHE WASN'T GOING TO ADMIT IT IN THE PRESENT COMPANY. IN HER 'LINE OF WORK', SHE HAD TRAVELED MOST OF THE WORLD, BUT TO EWING AND HIS NETWORK OF FRIENDS (ROSS EXCLUDED) SHE WAS JUST A SIMPLE GIRL FROM MISSOURI. A SIMPLE GIRL FROM MISSOURI WHO HAD ONLY BEEN TO MEXICO AND BOSTON. SHE HAD TO MAINTAIN THAT PERSONA IF THIS WAS GOING TO WORK. HEARING THE GRATING PET NAME RING ON DANIELLE'S LIPS MADE HER WANT TO PUNCH THE SOUTHERN BELLE, BUT INSTEAD SHE OFFERED HER THE WINNINGEST SMILE SHE OWNED. "I'M DOING WELL CONSIDERING WEDDING PLANNING IS GOING TO DRIVE ME CRAZY," SHE NOTED, DIGGING THAT PIN INTO THE OTHER GIRL'S SKIN. "THERE'S JUST SO MUCH TO DO, AND ALL I WANT IS TO BE MARRIED TO THE MAN OF MY DREAMS ALREADY!" SHE GIGGLED EXASPERATEDLY, PUTTING ON A WONDERFUL SHOW AND KNOWING HER COMMENTS - ALTHOUGH SEEMINGLY INNOCENT - WOULD DIG A KNIFE OF JEALOUSY INTO THE OTHER YOUNG WOMAN. WITH HER EYES GROWING WIDE AND DAWNING REALIZATION PLAYING OUT ON HER FACE, SHE PLANTED THE PALM OF HER HAND ON THE TABLE AND PRETENDED TO JUST REALIZE SOMETHING. "THAT'S ACTUALLY WHY I INVITED YOU HERE!" SHE EXCLAIMED. "ONE OF MY BRIDESMAIDS CANCELLED, AND ROSS SUGGESTED ASKING YOU. I KNOW YOUR PAST WITH EWING IS... COMPLICATED," SHE SMILED APOLOGETICALLY AS IF SHE ACTUALLY CARED THAT THEY HAD A PAST, "BUT I'M HOPING YOU WILL ACCEPT MY OFFER?" IF DANIELLE TOOK THE BAIT, THEN SHE'D HAVE HER CLOSE ENOUGH TO REALLY DIG IN THE KNIFE THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE ORDEAL. SHE'D HAVE TO WATCH YORK GET FITTED FOR HER WEDDING DRESS AND TALK ABOUT FLOWERS AND FOOD AND ALL OF THOSE LOVELY THINGS DANIELLE NO DOUBT WANTED TO BE PLANNING HERSELF FOR A WEDDING TO THE MAN YORK WAS ENGAGED TO. YES, IT WAS THE PERFECT REVENGE. ROSS SHOULD GIVE HER A BONUS FOR WHAT SHE WAS DOING.

tearing love apart,

 

Danny smiled at the comment of the wait meaning nothing, right there she felt and understood the fact that this was her competition, still she remained sweet "nothing at all if the company is truly that good." she laced the sweet comment with a bit of poison as she had looked the girl over, not so sure that York was company worth a wait but still the brunette had suggested that Danielle was good enough company and she wouldn't argue the fact. She noticed York glance down to her hand and her eyes followed down to the girls engagement ring and it was a stab in the heart of the reality that Ewing wasn't hers, he had moved on, right there she had to plant herself there to keep herself from just getting up and walking out.

At the girl sitting across from her saying that planning the wedding was driving her crazy, Good, drive yourself insane so I can drive you start to a mental hospital. Danny found herself making several other inward remarks on the girl being crazy but never let one slip out. But her thoughts were shattered as it seemed to sting one word as a time man of my dreams, once again Danny was in a self-uproar of Ewing being hers, she knew him longer, she loved him first, York was just some woman he barely even knew, the thought of the two marrying would have normally destroyed her, but now only infuriated her. 

She wondered for a moment what York had so suddenly remembered as she planted her hand down on the table and right from the start Danny grew rigid, but Ross suggested Danny for a bridesmaid, that was one hint she wasn't keen on, the second hint was the fact that besides looking as though York was trying to be sensitive about her and Ewings past and that's where Danny's smiled officially disappeared for a moment before Danny just laughed, "our past?! That bastard led me on all through our highschool years and than wasn't even man enough to break up with me in person, no I get a god damned text message telling me he never wants to see me again." her southern voice held her strength as she pretended actually not care and be angry at him. She reached into the coat draped over the back of her chair and pulled out her phone, quickly scrolling and finding the text message she slid it into the brunettes view. "I am sorry dear but if he could do that to someone he grew up with and cares about and loves, I wouldn't want to know how he'd go about breakin' your heart sweety. I honestly don't think I could be your bridesmaid, I'd be too motived to slap that boy silly." she tried to laugh a little but didn't really get more than a bit of a chortle out.
