Love Finds a Way

Chapter 18: Pancakes

Hayley's pov:

I woke up to erratic knocking on my door. Is it 3 already? Did I forget to pick them up?! I reached for my phone that was charging on my nightstand and see that it is 2:06 am. Whoever is knocking better have a good damn reason to wake me up. I make my way to the door and groggily open it.

"You better have a good reason to be doing this at 2 am Dan." I leaned on the door frame and await for his answer.

"Hayley I swear to you it is," I noticed his wardrobe and see he is in sweats and an old t-shirt just as if he was about to sleep. ,"I've been thinking about us, how I want us to be something and how I want us to be together. I couldn't think of when to tell you but as you can see," he pointed to his clothes, "my brain didn't let me sleep." I laughed and was surprised he was doing this.

" But you want to know why I can't sleep? Because of you. Simply you Hayley the way you act the way you laugh, how you make jokes, how you never take something serious, how friendly you are, and caring you can be, the way you're too modest to see you're absolutely beautiful with or without glasses in sweats or in a dress with red lipstick or ice cream all over your lips. And goddammit I want to be the person to tell you all of these thing when you wake up and before you sleep just to make sure you know you're a beautiful person inside and out and I wouldn't want to be with anyone else but you.

Hayley Ross will you be my partner in this roller-coaster that only goes up , be my Sam when we're off on an adventure, help me fight off demons, help me sing every word to every One Direction song, help me by laying by my side when I have an existential crisis,  look perfect in my non American apparel underwear, but most of all. Will you do me the honor of calling you my girlfriend?"

His words and simply him made me happy whilst tears filled my eyes. "Yes." I lean off of the frame and hug him. "Yes yes yes yes. A million more times yes." The feelimg Dan gives me with a single touch leaves me speechless, every gaze leaves me thinking more and more about how a single human can contain such beauty, his words leaving smiles on my face, just Dan makes me happy. Happiness struck me harder than ever before, more than being accepted into Uni, more than leaving home, and more than chocolate.

"Good because it gives me more of a reason to do this." He cups my face and puts his lips on mine and slowly lets them shut. The kiss was passionate and obliterated every thought in my mind my left hand snaked up to the back of his head where I got a handful of his hair and pulled it lightly. His lips were so full of passion makimg me tilt my head in order to give him more access which he took with no hesitation. My right hand was left on his chest as I felt his heart beat quicken up. He backed me up into the wall and moved his hands to my waist. We both pulled away breathless and smiled.

He pecked my lips one last time before dragging me back into my flat.

"You have to pick up Jessica and Bailey in 30 minutes go change and we can go pick them up together."

"But I don't want to." I pouted and stood infront of him as he kissed my forehead.

"The sooner you get ready the sooner we can come back and sleep." I smiled and went to my room where I came out of a few minutes later with black ripped jeans and my sidemen jumper. I had my card and my phone and fifty pounds.

"Let's go." I smiled and gestured him to get outside.

We got to the airport and Dan decided to stay in the cab so we wouldn't have to deal with getting another one. I'm excited to see my baby sisters after what seemed forever. Bailey isn't a baby but she is my sister and to me she will always be my baby sister. I stood by their gate and awaited for their arrival. I wonder if they-
