It was currently 8am on Wednesday morning Dan was asleep next to me and I was sat up on the bed finishing off my sketch I had started in the car Monday.

I had just finished the final touches of the drawing and dan had started to move around and wake up. I closed the book and placed everything on the bedside table and looked back at dan to see him wide awake hugging my waist. "Morning gorgeous" dan said beginning to sit up and kissed my check. "Morning" I said softly pecking his lips with mine "how long have you been up for?" He asked "since 7" I said placing my legs on his lap "really? You should of woken me" he said sadly smiling "nah i finished the drawing so it wasn't like I was bored" I explained while he nodded "can I see it?" He asked while I nodded grabbing the book and opening it to the correct page and then passed it to him.

"Oh wow this is amazing" he said brushing his thumb over the pencil "thanks it's yours you can keep it" I said smiling at him

"What's the plan today?" I asked "I was thinking we have breakfast room serviced up to us and then wonder around New York as we couldn't do that yesterday however we have to be back here at 5.30 to get ready" he said making me raise my brow "why?" I asked "we're going to see wicked" he said looking at the breakfast menu "the musical?" I asked double checking "yes the musical" dan chuckled "dan that's expensive" I said looking at him "well then you can tell your dad that" he said winking. "My dad?" I asked "Chris bought the tickets when he found out we are going to nyc and he gave them to me and told me that you deserve this" dan explained smiling.

"You should of refused them" I said picking up my phone to call dad "he said you'll say that" Dan said chuckling while I walked away to call dad.

"Good morning baby" dad picked up the phone "dad" I said seriously "yes?" He responded "you shouldn't of done this" I said not saying what he's done but he knows "you mean the tickets?" He asked "yes dad what else would I be on about?" I questioned "the dress?" He said "what!" I raised my voice "darling I've given dan money to get you a dress today that's why your walking around New York" dad explained "dad this is too much" I said sighing "yeah well you deserve it" he said "no I don't" I said "yes you do. I knew you were going on this trip and I knew that it's going to be hard to go away with someone you've never really spent time away with and I felt bad knowing this so I did this because I knew you deserve it as you've been so strong and good with your anxiety so there you've got those tickets and that dress and you can't stop me" dad explained making me cry a little bit "dad.. thank you" is all I could say "I love you sweetheart" dad responded "I love you more" I say back.

After the phone call

"Everything okay?" Dan asked while I walked back into the room "yeah so um a dress?" I asked "so I guess Chris told you" he said chuckling "well I think he thought that you already told me so he kinda just said it" I explained making us laugh.

"You ready?" I asked walking out of the bathroom "yep" he said grabbing my jacket and helped me put it on "so where to first?" I asked and dan smirked and took my hand and walked.

I tried on a lot of dresses and I mean alot we've agreed that blue or red are my colours but in the end I fell in love with a sparkly blue dress that was perfect and was about to step out and show dan

You look... wow" dan said blushing making me laugh "thanks Dan" I smiled and turned to get changed "wait let me take a photo I'll send it to you so you can show it to your dad and probably cat" he laughed while I nodded turning around to pose but instead I just laughed as Dan looked bright red and he took the picture.

After I finished getting back into my normal clothes and went to pay for the dress we were sat in the car and I pulled out my phone to text dad the picture of me in the dress.

Two hours later*
"Come on al" dan said grabbing my jacket and purse for me "I'm coming" I said picking up my phone.

"Ladies and gentlemen please take your seats the show will start in 10 minutes" we heard the announcer say as we just walked in. We made it just in time and Dan pulled out his phone to take a selfie. Let's say this night is going to be good.
