Dan was quite the gentleman.
He opened the door of the car for me, as well as the door inside the restaurant.
We sat at a small booth, with a candle and vase of flowers in the middle of the table. He was cute, and as much as I wanted to text Zoe the details and every little kind gesture he made, I wasn't going to be rude and decided to save my screaming and drooling for later.
Thankfully, it wasn't awkward. Unfortunately, our small talk just made us seem like friends. Convincing myself that this was a date was impossible, so I just let it go.
There was no hand holding or deep thoughts. No blushing or mushy love. The whole romantic atmosphere of this restaurant seemed to disappear. Our nice clothes just turned to casual wear.
Well, shit.
This was the complete opposite of what I imagined. It was really fun nevertheless, and I just tried to ignore all these thoughts.
Dan asked me a few questions about my hometown and my family. I asked him a few questions as well. I felt comfortable with him. He made me feel at ease.
"So, Dan, I completely forgot to tell you and Phil, and I'll tell Phil once we get home, but where I will be staying will be ready tomorrow. I'll make sure I'm all set tonight, and leave in the morning. I'm not going to be an annoyance to you and Phil."
Dan looked genuinely upset.
"Awwww!" He said in the most childish voice. I do have to admit, it was pretty cute.
"Don't leave too early Y/N! Here, we can all go out to get proper breakfast tomorrow, and I'll make sure you don't get coffee spilt on you!"
We both laughed and I agreed to go to breakfast with them. I know I'll be across the hall from them, but I still don't want to completely live on my own. It's not going to be easy, and I can't always bother Dan, Phil, and Zoe when I'm lonely. I moved too far away from home, I'm not going to back out of this. I need to be responsible. I need to-
"Are you okay Y/N?" Dan asked, worried. He brought me back to reality.
"Yeah, just deep in thought."
Shit.
He looked more relaxed, and I made sure I payed attention to him.
We finished eating and talked a bit more about useless things. We shared a few laughs, and I had a good time. Sadly, it was incredibly late and so we figured it was time to head home.
We walked out, and I started towards the car, but Dan grabbed my hand and spun me backwards, towards him. We both laughed and stood there for a second. My head in his chest, his arms around me. Our contact broke and we both pulled away, still laughing.
Damn, the moment was too short. But I also realized, in that moment, I was falling so hard for him, it hurt.
"Wow! You want this night to be over so soon!" Dan said sarcastically. He smiled.
"Noooo!" I replied, whining. "But Daaaaannnn!! I'm tiredddd."
He laughed, and took the lead to the car, once again, opening the door for me. We drove home in a comfortable silence, and I made sure I didn't text Zoe, it would seem too obvious. The last thing I wanted was for my crush to feel uncomfortable around me.
Woah y'all that was 2 parts in one day! Look at me! I should be filming a new video for my YouTube channel tomorrow, but I'm not 100% sure. I hope you guys enjoyed this and I'm going to sleep now so goodnight!
