Dani's POV:

The days went on, and slowly passed. I was drug along to different states and even went to Canada some more. It was nice seeing the new places and feeling like I don't have one place that's "home" but things with Dave did get a bit better. We never came out and said "guess what we're dating again" but we kind of were.

It was so complicated and hard to put into words. I think everyone knew we were getting closer again. With the whole baby thing, it made it easier to fall to each other when we needed help. There wasn't anyone else there for me like Dave was, and it just made sense. But we hadn't slept together in such a long time, it wasn't just friends with benefits thing.

"Do you think peanut butter and cheese would be a good sandwich?" Dave out of blue asked me from the hotel kitchen. I looked at him with confusion and laughed.

"I don't think so....." I giggled, "give it a try." I suggested turning back to the TV. I heard some shuffling around the kitchen for awhile, it was Dave making his, probably disgusting, sandwich.

"Yeah, don't ever try that." Dave took a seat next to me. I laughed at him softly.

"You're laughing." He whispered pushing some hair behind my ears, "I love making you laugh." He breathlessly said. I couldn't help but feel that familiar feeling of his hands in mine. It's crazy to think I'd ever forgive him again, but I couldn't not. He's just so right for me. It's like I couldn't have another boy compete with him, he'd win instantly.

"Yeah, well I love you." I replied before resting my head on his shoulder. He held my hands with his tightly. Shivers ran down my spine thinking of him.

"I love you more." I was completely taken away by the amount of love I had for this boy. And I wasn't gonna play the on and off game anymore. I wanted him with me once and for all.

"Dave?"

"Yeah?" He answered.

"I- I wanna— be..... together," I stopped for a little bit, "again." His face lit up.

"R-really? You swear?" Dave jumped up. I nodded at him with a shy smile, "I promise I'll never do anything like that again. You're my number one, I'm so sorry." He got so excited it made my eyes water a bit. I snuggled beside him letting him ramble on.

"God, I love you." He finally drew it out and hugged me closely. I couldn't even explain how relived I was. Maybe if I forgot the whole thing and moved on with Dave it would be just like it was a couple months ago. I was bound to make us work again.

"So, uh, now that we're together again. You think it's okay to—" I started with my lip bit. Dave wasted no time before crashing his lips against mine and pressing me down on the couch. I missed this so much, and now that it's here I wouldn't ever take it for granted again.

"Guess what?" Dave asked laying beside me. I hummed in response, "Have I ever introduced you to Michael Stipe?"

"Not that I remember....." I trailed off thinking over the name.

"Lead singer of R.E.M?"
