Chapter Fourteen

"Here you go."

A few minutes later Dan comes back with two new bowls and puts them down on the table.

"You okay?", he asks.
"Yes."
"Stop fucking with me. You're clearly not?"
"I really am. Don't worry. How's your throat?"
"Y/N, don't listen to them...", he knows what is on my mind, "they will keep talking trash, you just have to ignore it. It's hard, definitely, but you'll get used to it."
I don't respond because I feel like crying. If I say one thing, the clump in my throat will turn into a waterfall on my face.
After a while of not responding, Dan takes my face in both of his hands and turns me to look at him.
"It's okay. Don't worry. They don't know you. I do. And I know that you are pretty fucking amazing", he places a soft kiss on my forehead while a tear is running down my face. He smiles and dries the tear before passing me the soup.

We just sit there in silence with a Disney movie in the back. I enjoy it. I know he knows how I feel. And he takes good care of me.

At around 12 am he asks me in his sleepy, deep voice. "Early night?"
"Early night."

I wake up in the morning and the TV is still on in the back, now playing 'The Beauty and the Beast'. I don't open my eyes because I want to enjoy every moment of laying in bed (or my couch in that case). Christmas Holidays are great.

I sniff the smell of eggs on toast and cacao and, seconds later, I feel Dan putting my hair behind my ear.
"Wake up, gorgeous."
I smile: "You've never called me that."
"You've been having a rough few days, that's why", Dan replies.
"Oh come on mate.", I sit up and open my eyes just to see a perfect breakfast in front of me. And an awkward Dan doing jazz hands in the back. "Tadaa?"
"Awe, Dan that's so sweet, thank you!", I reach out my arms to hug Dan.
"Decided that I'll be an A* bff today"
"You are everyday, Dan."
"Okay stawp you are making me blush"
