"Really? Spit it out!", I say, agitated for the following words.
"The manager of my clothing line what's to do a collaboration with a designer, so- will you?"
"Excuse me? Are you serious?"
"Yep completely! What do you think?"
"Um- obviously! Thank you so much, what a dream come true! Can't believe it."

We continue talking about the details for another 20 minutes and hang up when she has to go.

"Babe? Where are you?", I hear a shout from the lounge after ending the call.

I quickly storm into the room: "I got a job offer!"

Both Dan and Phil are incredibly happy for me. "This is so amazing!", Phil says, hugging me.

Dan showers me with kisses and opens a celebratory wine bottle we all enjoy in the comfort of their home.

And three months later, it happens.

Zoe and I arrive at the venue our clothing launches at.

It is huge and has mannequins as decorations everywhere which, to be honest, scares me every time I walk past.

We invited all of our friends, even some from America flew in.
Along with them, are also people from the press and design related people, so Dan and I can't kiss or anything, in fear that someone will snap a picture.

Even though I am mostly known as 'Dan Howell's girlfriend', we both still want to keep our relationship as private as possible ian the future.

His subscribers knew we were dating from when he said it on YouNow but after that, he hasn't mentioned it again, resulting in people thinking we broke up.

So when they see that Dan is at the launch, everyone online starts making assumptions.

"They are still together."

"Still friends after their breakup."

"Dan's there for Zoe."

The list goes on.

But so does life, so I don't let the occasional hate get to me anymore and try to enjoy life and the evening as much as possible.

Seeing all of these big YouTubers and 'important people' around me, intimidates me and I don't have Dan around to comfort me.

All we both get is ocassional eye contact, a quick smile or a cheeky butt-grab when Dan walks past me when it is crowded.

Suddenly I feel someone grab my hand and thinking it is one of my friends, I turn around just to see Dan infront of me, mouthing 'follow me'.
So I do after letting go of his hand.

He walks right past the bar and into a quieter room that has a photo booth in the corner, guiding me into it.

Right when he closes the curtains, his lips crash against mine.

"You having fun?", I ask him when he pulls away, grinning.
"Yes besides the fact that I can't kiss you all the time when you look so bloody hot in what you're wearing."
I laugh: "Come on now. I feel the same way though, you look handsome."
He smirks and kisses my neck before whispering into my ear: "But even though you look bloody hot in what you're wearing, I can't wait to take it off later."
I punch him into the shoulder jokingly: "Alright, alright."
He smiles again and takes my hand: "I am so incredibly proud of you, princess. You don't even understand how lucky I am to have someone so beautiful, funny and talented besides me."
"Stop, you're making me blush. I have to thank you, silly. Without you this literally wouldn't be possible, I love you.", I say before making our lips meet again.

We kiss for a little longer before getting interrupted by the screen on the photo booth.

Right on it are three candid photos of us from just now, the fourth about to be taken. We probably hit something to make the camera go off my accident.

The first one shows him crashing his lips into mine.
The second one shows him flirting and me laughing.
The third one shows him kissing my neck.

And the final one shows him pulling out a little velvet box.
