The end where I begin

Lauren's POV

'Thank god yer okay Laurs.' As soon as I opened the door he pulled me tightly in his arms kissing the top of my head.

'Of course I am, why wouldnt I?' I said leaning back to look at his face.

'I don't know, you didn't answer at all, I was so worried.'

'Aw Dan. You got nothing to worry about, I just put my phone on plane mode. I got so many notifications my phone stared heating up. And I had a lot to do here as well so putting away my phone and not get distracted was the only way, or else I would still be sitting on the couch.'

'That makes a lot of sense. Sorry I was so worried.' He pulled me in even closer. I tightened my grip around him and we just stood like this for several minutes not speaking.

'This place looks good Laurs, you really have done a lot so far.' He said taking a look around.

'Thanks, I'm happy with it. I still got a lot to do though, and we need to put together that wardrobe.'

'Yeah we have to, let's get started now so we'll make it by midnight. Didn't you have 2 other things to put together too?' He asked looking around once more.

'Nah I did those myself. I spent a few hours on it, but I did it. Docent look that good, but at least I did it haha!' I said looking up at him.

'Wow, my girl is handy!' He smirked looking down at me and kissing my cheek.

'Damn right I am.' I smirked back knowing he would hear this the dirty way, standard Danny.

'Can live with that.' He said moving his hand further down to rest on my hips. I leaned up to place my lips on his cupping his face in my hands. I moved my hands to the back of his hair tugging at his hair. A small moan escaped his mouth and I deepened the kiss. We continued kissing like this for a couple minutes before I guided him over to the couch. He lifted me from the ground placing me on my back on the couch not breaking the kiss. He laid down gently on top of me using his arms placed on both sides of my upper body careful not to crush me. I moved my hands to the back of his shoulder pulling him as close as humanly possible. He removed his lips from mine and started tracing kisses down from my cheek, down my neck and collarbone. I let out quiet moans as he continued to kiss me and his hand traveled up and down my side. I let my hands travel down from the back of his shoulders and down to the bottom of his back. I took my hands under his shirt and pushed him even closer with my hands placed on his bare back. He traced his tongue on the line of my bottom lip. I opened my mouth slightly and let his tongue inside my mouth. We continued kissing for many more minutes. He once again placed kisses down my neck and buried his head in my shoulder.

'Dan, as much as I really enjoy this I think we better put that piece of furniture together and order some food, I'm starving.' He pulled away slightly and kissed my cheek.

'As much as I hate saying this right now yer right.' He got off me and helped me off the couch. We walked over to the large brown packet lying on the floor. We lifted it up and carried it to the bedroom so we didn't have to carry it when it was done cause it would be a lot harder because of the size.

'Okay so how do we do this?' Danny asked looking at all the pieces lying on the floor.

'We follow this, we should be okay.' I said showing him the manual of instructions.

*2 hours later*

'Laurs, seriously, this is impossible. Can we just get something to eat please?' Danny asked.

'I'm guessing I should have tried putting it together by myself earlier...We'll order some food and take the night off.'

'I'll go make a call, what do you want?'

'Uhm it's the same really, just not pasta or beef, I'm not eating that. Otherwise, just choose something.' He nodded and left the room to call some take away place. To be honest, I was really glad he left the room now or else I'm sure I would have hit him with a piece of wood. I really thought he was joking when he said it would be a test of our relationship putting IKEA furniture together, but it wasn't. I would gladly have dinner with my parents than doing this over again with Danny. I actually understood the manual and was going to try put something together, but then Danny insisted that it was wrong and he knew how to do it. He tried putting pieces together, but of course it wasn't right. I tried telling him, but he was stubborn and ignored it. This is how I spent my last 2 hours...It all ended up with us snapping at each other at each opportunity we got. I was starting to get tired of it, I was glad to be alone for a few minutes.
