"And what do you mean by that?", I ask
"Well...", he begins and takes a bite "... we were drinking together and went outside to get some fresh air, I think. He was so drunk. And then I started talking about you again."
"What does that have to do with anything?"
"He started talking shit. Like how I've changed you apparently. I got mad."
I raise my brows: "And punched him?"
Dan almost chokes on his food: "No, no. I went up to him so he pushed me and drunk me fell. But it's fine, he helped me up and all that. Drunk lads.", he laughs.
Rolling my eyes, I reply: "You're a mess you know that?"
"I know you love it."
Three hours later and April just left after we talked about the wedding. She was quite surprised when we told her that instead of a small wedding we want an itsy bitsy wedding. We stated that the reason behind our decision is that we would rather have a really intimate ceremony and get together and a slightly bigger party in the future, so we could really enjoy the day and not be worried about tons of guests. Even though April was a bit confused, her main goal is obviously to make us happy so she promised to make all the changes needed.
Right when it is only Dan and I again, we sit down on the couch together and relax before Phil and Zoe will come in an hour and it's back to pretending everything is normal.
"Love?", Dan suddenly says.
"Huh?"
"I... um, hope you aren't upset about earlier with me."
I laugh: "I'm not mad at you. Maybe just annoyed at Joe. He just can't seem to keep my name out of his mouth, I thought we were done with that."
"I know. I was thinking about talking to him about it."
"You really don't have to. We don't see him often enough to stir up drama now."
He shrugs in response: "I guess. But if you want me to, say something."
"I will.", I smile and give him a peck, "I actually wanted to talk about something different to you."
"What about?"
I sigh: "I don't know. It's just that keeping everything so secretive is quite a lot of pressure and it just feels weird to not have told Zoe the news you know?"
"You wanna tell her?"
"Should I?"
Dan sits up and looks at me: "Babe, it's your body and your decision. Whatever you want to do, do it. I just want you to be happy and if you don't want to keep this secret from Zoe, then don't.", he smiles.
"What secret?", Zoe interrupts, standing at the door frame with a frightened Phil next to her.
