Chapter Fifty-One

"Dan? What is this?", I ask, scared of what is hiding in the little box.
"Open it", he encourages me and gives me a smile.

I open the box and pull out a ring.
I look at him in shock. "Do you like it?"
"I love it!", I say and fall into his arms.
"I'm glad you do", he laughs and points at the box. "Put it on!".

I do, and it fits perfectly.

"It's a promise ring.", he says while I look at the thin silver ring in awe, "because, I- sorry, I'm bad at this stuff- I um, promise to love you and cherish you for ever.", he says and looks down at his hands.
I crawl over to him and take his head in my hands so he now looks at me: "Thank you, thank you so much. I love you Dan, a lot. I promise to love you forever.", I say before kissing him on his flushed cheek.
Taking a closer look at the ring, I see that it has 'I can't help falling in love with you' engraved on the inside.

We spent the rest of the evening on the beach, talking, taking pictures and eating.

"Let's go home.", he says and kisses me.

I pull out the keys and open the door to our flat. Right when I close the door behind us, Dan pins me against the wall.
"What are you doing?", I laugh, trying to escape his tight grip.
He answers by kissing me passionately.
I laugh and kiss him back, my hand tangled in his curly hair and my heart tangled in his.
After a while of kissing he picks me up, still kissing me and brings me to the bedroom.
He throws me on the bed and stares at me lovingly.

Waking up the next morning, I remember last night. It was amazing, very good. He was careful and very sweet as usual.

I reach to the sideboard to grab my phone, wanting to check if I have any messages.
I do have a few from friends, asking how the trip went or when I am coming back, but one stands out to me. It is from Joe.

Before I can actually click on it, Dan pecks my head.
I turn around to his beautiful face: "Morning, handsome."
"Morning.", he says. "last night was really good, the whole evening."
I lay on my back and look at the ring I am still wearing, "It really was. Thank you."
He smiles, kisses me and gets out of the bed to go edit a new danisnotonfire video.
Dan wants to vlog a day out of this trip maybe tomorrow or today he told me.
Just a few weeks back I would be mortified of that idea, but now it doesn't seem as bad as it would've in the past.

I scroll through all of my social media and reply to comments on my newest blog post, when I receive another message from Joe:

Joe: Hey, long time no talk mate, what are you up to? xxx
Joe: oh Iceland, cool have fun.

I get messages like these not too rarely.
First he will be bubbly, send emojis and kisses, but whenever he sees that I'm with Dan, all of that stops appruptly and his messages seem dry and uncomfortable. Why is he like that?
