The Day I Met Dan - Dan and Phil Fanfic

The Coffee Shop

I am still in deep thought about this afternoon's events. Recieving Ben's present, and having to go out in the rain on my only day off to get rid of it. Falling into the arms of a super cute man, who then agreed to join me for a drink. Bumping into Ben outside and asking Dan to act like my boyfriend. I am still quite embarrassed about that.. 

I am brought back to earth when Dan appears at my side carrying two hot chocolates. He places my drink in front of me, and i notice little marshmallows on the side of the saucer.   "Thank you very much."   I beam at him.   "You're very much welcome."   Dan replies. I decide to take the marshmallows and drop them into my hot chocolate. They melt and go soft, covered in chocolate. Using a spoon, i eat the marshmallows, and they taste good. Really good. My expression must have given me away because i catch Dan staring at me.   "Taste good?"   He asks.   "Yes! They're lovely."   I reply, my mouth full of marshmallows. Dan laughs at me and places his marshmallows onto a spoon.   "Here, you can have mine. Since they make you so happy, i'll give them to you."   Dan puts his mini marshmallows onto my saucer. My face must be scarlet red as i smile goofily at my fingers.   "Thank you."   I say.   "My pleasure, again."   Dan replies, taking a sip of hot chocolate. Suddenly i am reminded of Dan's earlier plans.   "Didn't you say that you were just going home earlier? I hope i'm not keeping you."   I ask. Dan's expression dulls. What's this?   "No, it's okay. Home can wait."   He replies, putting on a smile that i suspect is fake.   "Did you have any other plans today?"   He asks before i have chance to say any more.   "No. I'm free all day."   I blurt. I regret it as soon as i say it. I probably sound desperate.   "Um.." Dan hesitates.   "Do you maybe wanna come to my friend's party with me tonight?"   I am taken back by his invitation. Of course i do!   "Hmm, a party? I'd be happy to join you. What time will you pick me up?"   I can not contain my excitement.   "I can pick you up at 7:00pm. Just give me your address."   We set the arrangements for tonight, and finish our hot chocolates. It really has been an eventful afternoon. After some general chatting, i found out that Dan is twenty three years old, he can play the piano, he is good at cooking, and he lives in an appartment with his friend. I wonder momentarily if he has fallen out with his friend. It seems as though he doesn't want to go home..

We stand to leave the coffee shop. Dan holds the door for me as i step outside. Finally the rain has stopped. I look up into Dan's lovely brown eyes and smile sweetly at him. He smiles back, and we stare at each other for i don't know how long.   "Thank you."   I mutter.   "It has been lovely meeting you."   My voice is quieter. I don't want this to end.   "Yes, i've had an enjoyable afternoon. And i'll pick you up tonight."   Oh yes, the party!   "Sure. Bye, Dan. See you later."   I step back.   "See you later."   He replies. We both head seperate ways. Seriously, what an afternoon i've had. It still doesn't feel real.
