Chapter 28

Dan's POV

I contacted:
Joe
Zoe
And Louise- who especially gave me a hard time about it. Sending messages surrounding my feelings for Y/N.

Y/N texted:
Jim
Tanya

We wanted it to just be a small group of our closest friends. I wanted Y/N to be around the people she felt the most safe with.

This was a time for her to take her minds off things. Not like this was something to forget completely, because it's clearly far more important than that. But I want her to be assured that everything would be okay and maybe a night out with people she loved would do just that.

Y/N and I needed to start getting ready I let her go first because she needed extra time and she practically took forever. When she came out she had a spare towell rapped around her and her hair shorter than before. It was in curls from top to bottom

"And you dared to call ME Hobbit Hair? You're a litteral poodle" I stated and she turned around

"Hey!" She shouted

"Why don't you wear your hair like that?"

"Dear God, why would I?!?" She said- clearly horrified at the thought

I stood up and walked over to where she was staring at it in the mirror

"I seriously look like a poodle. You said it yourself" she added

"But your MY poodle," I said tapping my arms around her stomach, hugging her from behind "and you're the most beautiful pupper I've ever seen."

And with that I left and headed to the shower. By the time I came out she wasnt fully dressed, she had black leggings and a sports bra. But her hair was done- she wore it with her curls hanging loud and proud.

She turned around and smile.

"You've got a little something..." I say brushing a piece of hair that didn't belong

"Been staring long enough to notice?" She smirks and I lean forward to give her a kiss

"So I'm supposed to keep my hands off you ALL dinner tonight?" I whine cupping her cheek with my right hand

"Yup, is that hard?" She asks

"You have no idea, Pup"

"Pup?" She giggles "Guess I'm facing the fact I'm an actual poodle" I nod in response

By now we were dressed and ready. It wasn't a fancy restaurant. It's not like we all had to wear suits and dresses. So we wore casual/simple clothing that was still nice. 

When I walk into my room to ask if she's ready to go, I get a good look at Y/N.

(A/N: this is what you're wearing bc I say so)

It's not like she dressed like she was going to premiere however she could still look like a goddess

"Ready to go?"

"Of course. You?"

"Not in the slightest, babe" I replied slipping my hand in hers and kissing her forehead. Not gonna lie, saying babe sounded weird.

"Babe? Really?"

"I'll stick to Pup" I laugh and she shakes her head

We showed up at the restaurant and it startled me when Y/N's hand quickly slipped out of mine. I guess it would've been bad to walk in like that, but my smile kind of dropped. It just felt so right. To be honest, I didn't even realize we were holding hands until our fingers were no longer intertwined. It was just so natural.

We walked in and I could smell all the food immediately. We saw Jim and Tanya on the other side at a table. We met up and said hi. We started up some small talk and Zoe, Louise, and Joe had made their arrival.

Y/N's POV

When Joe saw me he came over and gave me a hug. When he did he whispered in my ear

"I hope you're okay. Everything will be fine." He then squeezed me a little more tightly before letting go. He then hugged Tan as well not to bring to much attention to the situation.

I guess not everybody knew
