Chapter Hundred and Thirty-One

"Phil... you're right. How come I've never thought of that?", I answer to his idea.

He laughs: "No clue. Do you think it'd be possible?"

"I hope so. But, even if it worked out, it would make me look so stupid."

"No, not at all. The only people who know you want to stay here are Dan, Zoe, Fleur and I, right? And I think that no one will think you're stupid whatsoever. Let's just pretend this was your idea and you're the genius for once."

I jokingly punch his arm: "Dan will think that I'm overdramatic for making all of this fuss about staying here when I could've just thought about it more..."

"Don't be silly now. Y/N, he loves you more than anything and this will just make him happy. Talk to Fleur about it and we'll see okay?"

"Okay. Okay, I will. Thank you so much Phil. Really, thank you a lot."

He smiles at me before embracing me in a hug: "Of course. Text me when you know all about it okay?"

Three days later and almost everything is set: I can go back to London right on time and use the old shop as a studio I can work in.

What isn't set, is my relationship. Now that I know that I will be coming back, the only thing left to do is to tell Dan. I am scared of his reaction because he'll either be upset because we broke up for nothing, be happy or, in the worst case, be mad at me and not want to continue our relationship. In that case, I will also have no place to live because I surely can't and won't be able to live with my ex and his best friend.

A week before I will return, I ask him to Skype me: "Hey.", I say when he picks up the call and his beautiful face appears on the screen.

He returns what I said with a faded smile painted on his pale lips.

"I don't even know how to say this and", I begin, "don't really want to talk around it for ages so I guess I'll just say it?"

His confused expression makes me step back on my words a little: "I'm coming back to London in a week."

The confusion changes right to shock when I burst out the words I've been holding in.

"Really? How- come?", he asks.

"I talked to Phil and we found the solutions to the problems, I guess.", I say before getting into detail.

"That's amazing. I'm so happy you found a more convenient way for you."

"Thank you b- Dan.", I correct my almost accidental babe-slip.

Obviously, that doesn't go unnoticed and raises questions in him: "I know this might sound a little odd after what had happened but, um, I'm sorry about exactly what happened."

I sigh: "Don't worry. I get where you were coming from."

"I know but I still feel horrible for just- um- breaking up with you and not giving this a chance at all. I'm really really sorry and I regret it deeply."

"Dan, love. Don't blame it all on you. If something, I was the dumb one for thinking staying here would be good. I don't know what I would do without you, you know?"

He smiles right at the webcam: "I love you so much."

"I love you too." I smile right back.

"I'm in love with you. And I'm stupid for ending everything we built up in the almost past year."

"It's okay. It really is.", I begin, "A year is quite a long time."

"Yea. About to be a full one together."

His words strike me: "Does this mean...?"

He quickly rethinks his words: "Eh, only if you want it to, of course."

"Of course I do, silly."

Dan's smile grows as I tell him that I, in fact, would love to be by his side again.
