I Will Love You Endlessly (Sequel to i dare you to love me)

Part 19

The entire month goes by in a blur of last minute finalizing and planning and stressing and little arguments and (arguably) unnecessary make up sex, and now Dan can't sleep and he isn't sure if it's because he's staying over someone else's house tonight or if it's because he's getting married tomorrow.

He's going with the latter right now.

Louise had insisted that Dan stay at her house tonight, because it's bad luck for the soon to be wed couple to see each other before the wedding, and there was no talking her out of it. So now Dan's taken refuge in the spare room of the Watson household, and even though he's been lying in bed for hours now, he can't bring himself to fall asleep. His heart is racing so quickly it feels as though it's going to sprout wings, escape out of his chest, and start flying around the room - but it's not because of nerves. He's happy to say that he doesn't have cold feet whatsoever, not even a cold toe or two; he's completely confident that tomorrow is going to be the greatest day of his life and marrying Phil is going to be the best thing to ever happen to him. Whenever he thinks about it, he starts smiling and giggling uncontrollably and he rolls around in his bed like a giddy teenager, unable to contain his elation. On the flip side, though, he hopes he falls asleep soon because the last thing he wants is bags under his eyes in the wedding photos - though he's sure that's nothing Louise won't be able to fix.

He rolls over and goes to grab his phone and checks the time.It's two in the morning - so much for going to bed early. He unlocks his phone and calls Phil because he's got a feeling he's awake as well, and Louise's superstition said nothing about talking to your groom to be before the wedding.

Phil answers on the third ring. "Hey, you."

Dan smiles. "Hey," he says and he rolls over so he's lying on his back. "We're getting married tomorrow."

"I know," Phil says and he laughs a little. "Oh my god, we're getting married tomorrow."

"It seems like only yesterday an insanely attractive, yet utterly clueless, man stumbled into my flower shop," Dan says and he suddenly feels overwhelmed with emotion, as if he could burst into tears out of the sheer happiness he's feeling right now.

"Seems like only yesterday the most adorable florist I had ever laid eyes on was helping me pick out flowers," Phil replies. "Did you ever guess that the attractive, yet clueless, man and the adorable florist would be picking out flowers for their wedding?"

"I love you," is all Dan can choke out and he takes a deep breath to try and calm himself down. "God, I love you so much, Phil."

"I love you too," Phil tells him. "I love you more than anything. And I can't wait to marry you."

Dan sighs contently. "Tomorrow," he says.

"Tomorrow," Phil repeats, and nothing more needs to be said, and the two of them stay on the phone until they fall asleep.
