Our Laughter Lines (Dan Smith Fanfiction) - Watty's 2014

Something I Need - Chapter 20

(Some days later)

Ella's POV

It was about 5. I was studying English Literature when someone rang the bell. I stood up and ran through the hallway. I open the door and strong arms are immediately wrapped around my waist pulling me closer, and sweet lips crash on mine. 

"Wow..." After a minute, I pull away completely breathless. Daniel smiles and softly touches my lips with his fingertip. "I wasn't expecting you..."

"I missed ya..." I drag him by hand to the living room and we sat on the couch. 

"We're alone?" He looks around.

"Yeah... Ryan's with Will..." He holds my hand.

"What were you doing?" He asks.

"Cramming English Literature... But I'm quite bored of Shakespeare... Is that because I'm not English?" 

"Humm... no... I'm English and I'm not a fan of his work... I mean, he was brilliant but... it's just not my... style..." He smiles at my attentive face. "But I want to talk about something way more interesting..." Daniel changes the topic. "My girlfriend's birthday!"

"Yeah it's within a week..." I chuckle at his excitement. 

"What you want do?" He pulls me closer and looking down into my eyes. 

"I want to be with you and with my friends and my mom..." I smile and lay my head on his chest. He kisses my forehead and wraps his arms around my waist, giving me butterflies.

Dan's POV

"Have you been studying?" She asks.

"Yup, in the morning... I woke up very early today and well I decided to study..." Suddenly, she gets up and goes to the kitchen. I follow her, quickly, behind her.

"Do you want hot chocolate?" She tries to take way two mugs of the cupboard, on tiptoes.

"Let me help you..." As a 6'1'' gentleman I lift her.

"Thanks... This was definitely not made for 5'3'' people..." She chuckles with two mugs in her hands.

"Oh you welcome..." I smile. I make my way to the fridge and take away the milk, while Ella goes to the pantry and comes back with chocolate. 

"Thank you so much, Mr. Smith!" She said in a posh accent, which make me laugh hard. 

"Oh you're welcome ma'am!" I down on one knee and kissed her hand. We couldn't stop laughing. When our chocolates were prepared, we drank them on the couch , cuddling, stealing kisses from each other and watching some random TV show. Eventually, I would slip my hand under her sweater and draw small circles with my thumb on her back. 

Ryan arrived home at 7. Being too busy with making out, we weren't aware of his presence until he showed up in the living room.

"Calm down your hormones kids!" He whistles, making us stop doing what we were doing. 

"Oh hey, Ryan..." I rub the back of my neck and my cheeks got probably red. Ella whispered 'It's okay' into my ear and squeezed my left hand, to make me feel less embarrassed. So sweet of her.

"I was just kidding buddy!" Ryan gives me pat on my shoulder. I smile shyly.

"So what you've been doing this afternoon?" He smirks at me.

"Just watching TV, drinking hot chocolate and cuddling..." She turns her smiling face to me and plant a kiss on her cheek. "And ya?"

"I've been with Rosie..." He smiles, completely in love. Suddenly, "R U Mine?" is played. 'My phone!" Ella mumbles and lets go of my hand. After a minute she comes back.

"Wrong number..." I grab her hand and she is in arms again.

"You told me Kyle was spending the night with Janna so you're gonna have dinner with us. And I don't take no for an answer!" She says and places her finger on my bottom lip.

"Okay, but I want to help you..." She pecks my lips and pulls me off the couch. At that moment, Ryan gets in the room focus on the iPad. "You're gonna make dinner? Perfect! Because I'm not in the mood to cook today..."

"So what you want for dinner?" She asked. 

"Huhhh... Anything edible..." He lets out.

"Alright! don't complain then!" We left the room with this. Daniel closes the door behind me and then goes towards me. 

Ella's POV

"I'd love to try your chicken curry..." He wraps his arms around my waist line, planting kisses all over my sensitive neck. 

"Would you?" I turn around to face him. "I guess you're lucky... 'cause that will be the dinner..." I wink at him. "Go get the rice..."

We went to the kitchen, and while Dan was measuring the rice with a cup, I placed the chicken in the microwave and waited for it to thaw. I opened the cupboard where the curry powder was and it plus the cinnamon. Daniel started to chop onions and tomatoes and I started to make the curry sauce. Afterwards, I grilled the chicken and within minute I poured the sauce into skillet. Dan was cooking the rice. I looked at his focus countenance. After some seconds he caught me looking at his face. 

"What?" He said concerned.

"Nothing... It's just kinda... hot seeing you cooking..." I giggled. He pulls me close to his body and kisses me really hard. His tongue asked for entrance and I allowed him. We pulled away breathless. 

"Hmm... We should leave kisses for later..." I mumble. 

"Yeah... or the dinner will get burnt..." He smiles shyly. I nod in agreement. I add the coconut milk to the curry chicken and soon the dinner was prepared. As two gentlemen, Daniel and Kyle carried everything to the table. I did a trip to the pantry and searched for the blanched almonds pack, until I found it.

"Almonds?" Daniel looked a bit confused when I sat next to him.

"Oh yeah... we use to add it... but you don't have just if you want..." I calmly explained.

"I'd like to try it... Can I?" He asked with the pack in his hands.

"Sure, babe!" He blushed a little and gave me a shy smile. That's when I realised what I've just said. 

"Oh my god! This is one of the greatest things I've ever tried!" He said while biting a piece of chicken. I smiled at his reaction. "Where did you learn to cook like this?" 

"With mum and nana..." I paused. "My mom was born in London but was raised in India, and in there is a typical dish so it has become an usual dish in my family..." He listened very carefully every single word I said. "I'm glad you liked it..." We exchanged smiles.

"Can I?" He said while grabbing his phone. 

"Yeah... Let's make the others jealous!" Said Ryan. Dan takes a pic to the dish and posts on Instagram. 'Be jealooous. I'm having This_Is_Ella 's curry chicken! ;)'. And of course, I got a bunch of new comments about my desired curry!
