I Will Love You Endlessly (Sequel to i dare you to love me)

Part 6

"Where exactly are we going?" Phil asks. He and Dan are currently sat in back of a cab that neither of them called for. However the only mystery wasn't why a cab pulled up outside of their flat, it was where they were going.

"Your guess is as good as mine," Dan replies. "Louise was very vague in her texts." He reads the messages from her over once more:

'Just a random question but has a cab came for you two yet?' 'brilliant! now get it in it' 'just get in! i promise you aren't being abducted, liam neeson will not need to save you. trust me, you'll understand later xxx'

"She's always got something up her sleeve," Phil says, shaking his head.

"You don't even know the half of it," Dan agrees. "Can't help but love her, though."

"We should make her our maid of honour," Phil muses. "Or, like, best woman or something. Can two guys have a maid of honour at their wedding? Or do we both get a best man?"

Dan shrugs. "What about groomsmaids?" he asks. "You know, like bridesmaids but since neither of us are obviously a bride, they'd be groomsmaids."

"I know there are groomsmen - I don't know anything about groomsmaids though," Phil replies. He pauses in thought. "I don't know much about any of this, to be honest."

"Neither do I," Dan admits. "I'm glad my fiance is as clueless as I am."

"Should make wedding planning rather interesting," Phil chuckles and he kisses Dan's cheek affectionately.

The rest of the cab ride is quiet and short, and the car pulls up outside of Game of Thorns, much to Dan and Phil's confusion. They thank their driver for the ride and when they go to pay, they find that the ride has already been paid for by Louise - of course - and the two of them make their way inside of the shop.

They're greeted by rose petals on the floor, a trail of them leading throughout the shop in a path they're clearly meant to follow. They can hear muffled sounds of music coming from somewhere inside of the shop, and decide to just go with it.

Dan and Phil follow the red rose petal road that takes them from the entrance of the shop, through the flower displays and the break room, to the back of the building, where they find themselves at the foot of the staircase that leads to the roof of the shop.

"She wants us to go up there?" Phil asks, raising his eyebrow.

"Typical Louise," is all Dan says before taking Phil's hand and leading him up the stairs. He pushes the door to the roof open when they reach the top. The two of them enter the scene before them, in which they're greeted by dozens of their friends shouting surprise!

"Typical Louise!" Dan repeats to Phil over the cheers, and his mouth is stretched into the widest smile possible.

"I can't believe she did this!" Phil laughs from behind his hand, which has been brought up to cover his mouth in shock.

Louise squeezes her way through the crowd to people to greet Dan and Phil personally, giving them both a hug and a kiss on the cheek. "So did either of you expect an engagement party?" she asks, obviously proud of herself.

"Lou, this is incredible!" Dan says enthusiastically. "How did you even plan all of this without us knowing?"

"I have my ways," Louise says slyly. "Oh, by the way, you might want to change your Google password."

Dan stares at her in disbelief. "You hacked my account?" he asks, mostly surprised because Louise couldn't hack her way out of a paper bag.

"No," she say immediately, then adds, "I made Jack Howard do it. Don't worry though, all we did was look through your contacts, though! Everything else has been unseen and untouched. And regardless, it was for a good cause. So yeah, you should change it."

Dan just rolls his eyes, having expected nothing less from Louise, but he thanks her yet again for this incredible surprise. Phil does the same, giving her yet another hug, before the two of them go to greet the rest of their friends.

Everyone is excited beyond measure for the two of them, completely gushing over Dan's ring and asking how Phil proposed. About an hour into the party Louise clanks her spoon against her wine glass, gathering everyone's attention as she makes a little speech for Dan and Phil. She expresses how happy she is that her little bear has found someone who makes him happy, how happy she is for the two of them and how much she loves their love for each other.

She invites others to do the same, because she starts tearing up and can't go on, and a few of Dan and Phil's friends speak out about how happy they are that they are together and are getting married. Matt is among the first, making Dan rather emotional when he tells him that he's felt like a member of the Watson family for years and he's so elated to see his 'little brother' has found someone to spend the rest of his life with.

Phil's good friend PJ jokes "it's about time!" when he goes to speak, earning a laugh from everyone, and he goes on to say that even though everyone - "and I mean everyone, even aliens" - saw this coming, everyone is so happy for them, and raises his glass in a toast.

Jack makes a speech as well, although it's far less sappy than the majority of them have been. He goes on to say how disgusting their love is - prompting Louise to smack him and usher him away. After everyone's had some more alcohol, karaoke starts. And Dan and Phil don't stop smiling for hours, for the entire duration of the party, and even when it's over they still can't stop smiling.
