Meeting Dan (Danisnotonfire)

Chapter 9 - Love is in the air

I couldn't help but smile when talking to him. He just made me so happy. "So, what shall we do?" He asked. I had loads of ideas going through my head, but these were the sort of things that me and Leah would typically do, like bake cookies, or play a board game, or watch a horror film. "Umm, i'm not bothered, it's entirely up to you." I saw the concentration on Dan's face as he desperately tried to think of something for us to do. I was worried that he would end things with me as i was such a boring person to be around at times. "Well, do you just want to go to bed and watch a movie or something?" I sighed a sigh of relief. Something we obviously both enjoyed. "Sounds like a plan". I leaned over and kissed him softly. I knew the opportunity was there for us to do more, as Leah was out, as per usual, but i didn't want to appear clingy. He kissed me back before standing up and taking my hand leading me to my bedroom. 

He fell backwards onto my bed and just layed there with a smile on his face. "This totally sucks me having a single bed, i mean, we might be a bit cramped". Dan just laughed and smiled at me. "Well it means that we can cuddle up even closer and that is a bonus for me!". I laughed and threw a pillow at him to make him quiet. This obviously resulted in him throwing one back and the whole thing ended up being a huge pillow fight between us. We both refused to give in, and this went on for a good 10 minutes, when Dan suddenly grabbed my waist and pulled me towards him. His hand found it's way up to my cheek and he stroked it gently as his lips met mine. I kissed him back and Dan suddenly lifted me up, throwing me onto my bed. 

I was not quite sure what was going to happen, but i tried hard to keep cool and not look like an idiot. Dan just smiled at me, and had this look on his face which suggested that he knew exactly what was going to happen, when in actual fact, i really had no clue. This was all new to me. Dan kneeled on the bed and leant over me gently pushing me down so i was laying on my back. His lips found mine again and he he slowly began to kiss me down my neck. I didn't want to act like a total loser so i went with the flow and just tried to work out in my mind what to do. Without thinking i grabbed onto Dan's t-shirt pulling it over his head. Was this the right thing to do? Is this what he wanted? I had no clue. Luckily, Dan looked up at me smiling and biting his lip. I think i knew where this was headed...

Dan lifted up my t-shirt over my head and began to play with my hair. I think he could tell how self concious i was feeling. All the main things i hate about myself were just there, for him to see. My scars, cuts and my disgusting body. I tried not to look unhappy as i didn't want to ruin the moment. It's like Dan knew exactly what i was thinking. He lifted up my hand and kissed the scars down my arm. "You're perfect". He whispered in my ear, and i felt shivers down my spine. For the first time in ages, i actually felt good about myself. We went on to undress each other completely, and there we were under the covers of my very small bed, just gazing into each others eyes. "Are you sure this is what you want? If you don't want to then it's fine". He was so considerate, and i knew that i really liked him, and wanted to spend a long time with him. "It's fine, i want this". I smiled and leant in to kiss him. And then it happened. I had imagined how this moment would be for a long long time, and it was more perfect than i could ever imagine. After it was over, me and Dan just layed there in bed holding each other before falling asleep in each others arms.. 

I woke up the next morning to see Dan still asleep next to me. I was feeling so much better than the previous day, and i couldn't help feeling that my life could not be anymore perfect. I was just gazing at Dan as he was sleeping when all of a sudden, i heard the front door shut. Shit, Leah was home. I stumbled out of bed and threw on my dressing gown. I had no time to get changed properly. I ran out of my room trying not to wake Dan and headed into the lounge. I knew Leah wouldn't exactly care that Dan had stayed the night, but the thing is, Leah wasn't alone. How could i forget? This is the week when Leah's family are coming to stay for a few days. I always felt that they judged me, and they didn't like the fact that me and Leah were friends because i was a 'bad influence' on her. If they knew that i had a guy in my room who had stayed the night, then there would be a lot of judging taking place, and i was not prepared for that.

"Leah, hey! I didn't know you'd be back this early. Hey guys, you all okay?" I could see that Leah's family were analyising our appartment. Her step dad and brother went and sat on the sofa whilst her mum began to look round the appartment. I noticed that the TV had been turned on and i began to panic. What if Dan hears the noise and comes in?! I tried to get Leah's attention as she was speaking to her mum but nothing was working. As her mum headed out onto the balcony to have a look i quickly picked a grape out of the fruit bowel and aimed it at Leah's head. It hit the back of her head, and she quickly turned around. "Ow, what the fuck Ivy? What is your problem?" I had to tell her as quickly as possible. "Okay look, you know how your family always judge me and say that i am a bad influence on you? Yeah, okay well, Dan is in my bedroom, and he has stayed the night and we.. Well, you know.. We.." I couldn't even get my words out. Leah looked at me in surprise and i realised that she knew what i was on about. "Oh my god, god knows what mum will think if she see's him in here!" Leah looked as worried as i did. "Look it'll be fine, you just need to get them out of here okay? And then i will make sure Dan is out before you get back." Leah nodded and went over to her family. I sighed a huge sigh of relief. 

"Hey guys, i thought we could head down the street and get some breakfast at the cafe? It's so nice there and it gives Ivy sometime to clear up the appartment for when you get back." I smiled at them and helped Leah to encourage them to leave. Thankfully, they didn't take much persuading and i could finally relax. They weren't staying at ours. They were all staying at the hotel down the road, but i knew they would frequently be popping in and out. I ran back into my bedroom and found Dan sitting on the edge of the bed looking puzzled. "What's up with all the comotion out there? I was going to come and make sure that you were okay but i didn't want to interfere." I went and sat down next to him resting my head on his shoulder. "I'm fine, honestly, it's just Leah's family are visiting for a few days and well, i don't think they would like the idea of you staying here and us.. well.. you know". Dan laughed but i could tell that he totally understood me. "That's totally understandable, it's cool, you'll just have to come chill at mine anytime you want to get away!" I smiled and took his hand in mine. "That would be great". He smiled and kissed me on the cheek as he quickly ran into the bathroom to get changed. I layed back on my bed and just began to think. How was my life this perfect? I had my own place, a gorgeous boyfriend, a job and the best friend in the world. I smiled to myself like an idiot. Dan strolled back in and picked up his things from the floor, throwing them into his bag. "Well, i better go. Don't want to be getting you into trouble now! Besides, i have a meeting in central London with Phil and some other guys this afternoon so need to get home and shower anyway". I got up to hug him and say goodbye. "Well have a good day,and be sure to give me a text later on yeah?". He smiled and pulled me in closer. "Of course i will, i'll catch you later yeah?" He kissed me on the lips and kept a hold of my hand as we walked to the door. I saw him out and watched as he strolled down the stairs and out of the complex. 

I headed back inside to make myself some coffee and get ready to head into town. I needed to buy some new things and was planning on meeting a friend in town for lunch so i had no time to waist. I slouched on the sofa with my coffee and turned on the TV to watch Jeremy Kyle. I just sat there and thought about how perfect my life was and could not stop smiling. I hadn't been this happy in a long long time..
