Chapter Fifty

"Have fun you guys!", my dad says before rolling up the window of the car.
He dropped us of at the airport kindly.
Dan takes out the luggage we have and carries it the whole time.

We go through security quickly and are at the boarding lounge about two hours later.

On our way there, a few people stop us to take pictures with Dan and I. It is still weird how someone would want to take a picture with me.

The flight went really smoothly and we arrived at our apartment in Iceland not long after.
"Finally", Dan moans and throws himself on our bed.
"It's so pretty.", I say, still exploring our flat.
"Just the best for you.", he says and comes out of the room.
I feel him hugging me from behind and placing kisses on my head.
"Finally a vacation for just you and I", he continues, twirling me around.
"Yes, finally.", I respond and kiss him.
"What do you want to do?", he asks me.
"Stay in, I'm tired."
"Me too.", he tells me, picks me up and carries me to the sofa.

We are watching a random icelandic show we don't understand and slowly drift to sleep.

***

I wake up to an alarm, I don't remember setting up.
I look at my phone and turn it off.
"Wake up, beautiful.", it says. Dan must've set it up. Speaking of him, he is nowhere to be seen.

I walk into the kitchen to get a drink just to see a letter and roses on the table.

"Happy anniversary Y/N,
this is hard for me to write, firstly because you are sleeping next to me right now and I don't want to wake you up..."

Inserted is a Polaroid of me sleeping with "sleeping beauty" written on it.

"...and secondly, I'm not that cheesy.
Our first kiss was really out of order for me. But, here goes, since I love you.
Thank you for being by my side, for forgiving me when I'm stupid and making me feel good about myself. Since I've been with you, I felt great about who I am because you accept every flaw of mine.
Every little thing about you is perfect. From the weird little things you do to how you get annoyed at me when I tickle you.
I love you with all of my heart and I hope you know that.
I'm cringing, look what I do for you.
Anyways, I'm running out of stuff to write so just listen to Bonfire Heart by James Blunt and you'll get how much I love and need you.

Love, :DAN."

I put the letter by my heart and take a breath out, just realising that I held my breath. How do I deserve someone like him?
I wipe away the tear on my cheek, smell the roses and take a closer look on the tag on them "I'll pick you up at 7, it's going to be fancay."

I look at the time and start to get ready immediately.

And just how he promised, I hear a knock at 7 pm.

I open the door and fall into his arms.
"I love you.", I kiss him.
"I'm glad you liked the little surprise I had for you.", he says and pulls me up.
"Let's go.", he continues and grabs my hand.

Dan takes me to a little beach not far from our house.
It has a blanket with fairy lights, drinks and food on it waiting for us.
"Wow, did you do that?", I ask him.
He nods and takes me to the picnic.
We sit down and he pulls out a Polaroid camera to take a picture of me.
"Beautiful."
"I didn't know you could be this romantic.", I say and take a sip of my drink.
"I'm full of surprises.", he says and without breaking eye contact, he pulls out a little velvet box, "speaking of surprises... this one's for you, for us."
