Chapter 14 ~ Promise.

I felt this sinking feeling in my chest. "I thought you-.." Dan spoke. Well, almost. I look down, "I'm sorry, Dan. I lied to you. I should've just.." "It's fine, love." I look up at him like he is insane. "How is that 'fine'? I LIED Dan. To you! And you're my boyfriend. I'm supposed to tell you things like a good girlfriend should.."

He wraps his arms around my waist, "You don't have to tell me anything. I just don't want you to feel like you need to keep things from me. Technically, you didn't lie. You just didn't tell me something." I look down again. He traces his finger to my chin and gently lifts it to where I'm looking at him. I feel a blush creep up on my cheeks. I feel like crying. But I can't. I didn't want Dan to see me cry again. But I guess that was too late as a felt multiple tears fall down my cheeks.

"Love, don't cry.." he wipes them. "It's okay. I promise." "Promise..?" He nods and pulls me into a hug. I felt happy. Genuinely happy. But I didn't smile. For once in my life, I felt more. Out of all of my previous boyfriends and girlfriends I've never felt something so strong. This was more than love. More than hug, kisses, and cuddles. There was no lust. No fake smiles or laughs. I felt comfortable. I truly found happiness. Passion. A smile. A laugh. A promise.

And that's all I needed.

     Dan and I decided to watch a movie. He was sitting where his new sofa crease was and had me curled up on his lap. My head was between his neck and shoulder and my arm was holding onto his should for dear life. He had one hand under my arse for support and the other over my arm, playing with my hair. We were just sitting there. Watching the movie. My eye lids started to get heavy. I didn't even try to fight them. I let them fall. I wasn't fully asleep, though; I could still hear the TV and feel Dan twirling the tips of my hair between his thumb and index finger.

     I hear Phil walk in and Dan shushes him. "Lemme take a picture..!" Phil whisper yells. "nO gO mAkE a ViDeO oR sOmEtHiNg" Dan responds with the same tone of voice. Then he says, "Phil, no. Delete it! She'll kill you! She doesn't like being filmed or having photos taken of her without permission!" Dan speaks regularly, clearly getting defensive. "I'll send it to you!" Phil says before I hear a door close.

"Shit.." Dan says then his phone goes off. I 'wake up' and Dan is a blushing mess. I pretend to be clueless. "Hmm..? What happened..?" "Phil got a picture of us.." "Show me.." He obeys and I start blushing as well.
