Paused

Chapter 74

Hey peeps so what's up!!
So I'm working on something for you guys and it will come out when paused it over and I know a lot of you are like "you've talked about this before."
Then it was just an idea and now it's reality I'm about 2 chapters into it and it's going pretty good.
I don't know it could be a flop.
Okay so I sort of confused myself with how long you and Dan have been together so if I get the years wrong then I'm sorry.
Anyway let's get his chapter started!!

-------

*time skip*

"So (y/n) how long have you bee living in England for?" Mr.Howell asked, I was shaking badly. Mainly because of nerves and what not, but I couldn't believe my self having a hard time figuring out how to say things, I mine I should be able to talk to this guy.
Dan brushes his fingers against my hand, then laced our fingers together.
"Not very long about 2 years." I replied, Mr.Howell nodded his head in response.
"And how long have you known Dan for?" It was as if I was being interrogated, question after question from this guy. I mean I get it he didn't know me, not to mention the fact they thought I didn't exist, but all the questions bombarding weren't helping my nerves.
"2 years." Mr.Howell looked at me in shock.
"Wow." He mumbled under his breath. "S-so you two have only known each other for two years." I nodded my head as he repeated my comment.
It was strange I have to admit how fast things have gone but it is what it is and I wouldn't change it for the would.
Mr.Howell sighed, I gazed over at Dan who still had this nervous look on his face. At least I wasn't the only one who felt that way, our hands were still laced together and becoming clammy for sweat.
(A/n that sounds gross but whatever.)
I hadn't talked to Mr.Howell long before he began to really start a conversation, instead of interrogating me he actually began to talk about things he though I was interested in. Though in between he would question my reasoning for liking something, mostly I'd just shrug it off and answer the it with an "I don't know," or something really ignorant. Probably not the best thing on my part since I was trying to make a good impression on these people but I was truly nervous.
My heart was about explode from my chest, and my hands were about to melt off from my wrist from the amount sweat on them.

*time skip because...I'm a lazy writer*

After talking with Mr.Howell for a while we ate and then sat down in the living room and talked some more. This is probably the most I've talking with other people, not counting Dan and Phil since I live with them.
Dan seemed suddenly uneasy, I mean to the point to where he had that look on his face that showed it. Did he not tell his parents about the engagement? I mean it was pretty obvious since I had a ring on my finger but still the question still remained.
Strange thing is even though we were at a different house he sat in between two cushions of the dark green couch. I sat beside him chatting with his mom whilst the TV was on, Dan and his Dad mindlessly staring at it with blank looks.
I nudged Dan with my elbow, causing his to shake his head and turn his head towards me. I have a small smile and acted as if I hadn't done anything, Dan wrapped his arms around as i continued talking with his mom.
Her smile grew when Dan rested his head on my shoulder, his hot breath touched my neck causing goosebumps to whelp on my arms, I held back the need to giggle insanely.

*Mrs.Howell Mind/POV*

"You go Daniel!" I shouted in my mind whilst Dan flirted with (y/n).
This was the honestly the happiest I've seen him since Phil came into his life, except this time he's even more smily than back then.
In some odd way I think this girl has changed Dan's life for the better, he smiles even more than before, a actually he was the same again with Phil but it felt different.
The way he acted towards her was more flirtatious then I'd even seen him with a girl. Normally he'd be shy and the girl would be or going, but as he's gotten old Dan's gotten more out going and crazy. But with (y/n) he's a whole new person.
His smile is different.
His movements are different.
His over all attitude towards life is different.
For once in Dan's life he's made a good decision, no a great decision on that I think he needs to take a step further.
If he were to marry (y/n) I'd have no problem signing a check so quickly their head would be spinning. I'd probably be the person to drag them to the alter and say "repeat after me I do."
I haven't met (y/n)'s parents but from the way Dan talks about him, her mother seems to be nice and not as scary mother in law type. Which is good in many ways.
I wonder what that ring on her finger is what I think it is?
I doubt Dan would commit to someone like that so quickly. He'd probably procrastinate the idea of proposing until it was to late.
But then again Dan has changed and when people change they can do very unexpected things.
For his own good I'd ask her now before anyone else gets a good lol at her, though the strange thing is Dan had asked me one day if I had any rings left my his grandmother.
Of course I said didn't know for sure because I was on holiday at the time, so I couldn't really tell him.
But I'm seriously hoping Dan decides to marry (y/n), mainly because she's the first girlfriend that I actually think goes well with Dan and also the images of grand kids is making me happy!!
Hopefully I can convince Dan to propose!! Get him off the procrastination train.
Dan sat up straight and began to whisper something in (y/n)'s ear. She seemed worried then looked at him with a timid expression, nodding.
Dan sighed in response.
"Mom. Dad." He said with a serious tone. "(Y/n) and I are engaged."
