Chapter Hundred and Four

"It's my old boss.", I say to Dan.

"What? What does he want?"

I shrug my shoulders and pick up the phone: "Hello?"

"Ah, hello Y/N, darling! Merry Christmas!", the familiar voice says cheerfully.

"Merry Christmas to you too! Eh- is everything alright?"

"Oh, yes, yes it is, darling! We just wanted to congratulate you on your success, what you are doing is truely incredible!", he says.

"Thank you so much Mr. Smith!", I say, slightly confused about why he is calling me.

"Of course, lovely, of course. Now, I've been wondering about your line, and um- we've been wondering if you would be willing to help us out a bit, I guess?"

"What do you mean by that?"

"Well, basically, the shop isn't sold yet and we can't find anyone who would want to buy the building. So we'd like to ask you if you'd be interested in buying the store from us and do whatever you want with it."

"Oh, that's so nice of you but I'll have to talk to my manager first. Thank you so much for the offer, though.", I say and look over to Dan who seems extremely confused.

"Think about it and just give us a call back when you're ready."

"I will!"

"Well, thank you a lot and enjoy the rest of your holidays. Bye!", James says and hangs up after I say Bye too.

"What did he want?", Dan asks after I finish the call.

"He asked if I wanted to buy the store? It was really weird but yea, that's what he wanted."

"That's a bit random, isn't it? What do you think?"

"A little, yes. I don't know though, I have to talk to Fleur. We could maybe use it as a studio to work in so I don't have to clutter our lounge.", I laugh.

The lounge is indeed always packed with my things, paperwork and even paint since I don't have my own space to work at in the house.

A little place to myself that isn't far from home would be amazing, especially because it would make the lovely owners really happy.

"Do you know what day the 1st is?", Dan asks me out of nowhere.

"Um- New Year's?"

"Obviously, I mean- it's a special day."

"Well yea, it's the first day of the year-"

"And our kissversary.", he finishes my sentence.

"Kissversary, really?", I laugh.

"Yes, it's an important date!", he says sarcastically.

"Oh yes, so important, ground breaking, life changing."

"Oi.", he replies to my sarcastic tone and gently pushes me.

"I'm joking, I'm joking.", I giggle and crawl on top of him, cupping his face softly, "that was a nice day."

"Probably one of my favorite day's of the year, to be honest. Besides that one day we spent in London when you fell into the pudd-"

I shush him by pressing my finger against his mouth: "Stop right there."

Dan laughs and kisses my finger so I would move it: "I'm kidding. Kind of. But it really was fun, New Year's I mean. Isn't it crazy how back then I wasn't even sure if I liked you and almost a year later I'm sure that I love you? Ok, that's cheesy but you get what I mean right?"

I laugh now: "I get what you mean. Do you also remember the time you told Zoe you didn't like me and the time Alfie had us in his vlog and everyone freaked out?"

"Ugh yes, both moments are literally horrible. I'm glad that whole drama is over now.", he answers.

"Do you know how Alfie is doing?"

"Not too sure but I remember Phil telling me that he lives in a flat in Brighton now and is working on another book. What about Zoe? It's sad how we aren't as close anymore."

"Oh, well she's doing okay, I guess. You and her have to definitely talk when we are at the party, she will be there as well."

"I guess you're right. I just hope that we can all move on from the drama and be happy from now on."

"Me too, babe. Me too.", I say before getting pulled closer and receiving a kiss from Dan.

At the end of the day, I am glad everything that happened, happened because it made Dan and I's relationship stronger and showed us who really is our friend, and who isn't.

At least I thought it did.
