We were having dinner the next day when Jason first brought up the idea. "How about we go on holiday this year Grace?" He said, pointing to a advert about Spain with his fork. I looked at him in shock, my eyebrows raised, "Really? Are you being serious Jay?" "Yes, we should do it! Go abroad and everything, our first proper holiday together!" I put down my knife and fork and stare at him, still in disbelief. "When? This year?" "How about just after the new year, like new year's day?" I nod and laugh in excitement like a little child who has been told that she is going to Disney world. "Oh my God Jason! You are the best boyfriend in the whole world!" I stand up and put my food on the coffee table and lean over and kiss him. Then i skip out of the room and come back with the laptop, "What are you doing babe?" "I'm looking for a holiday, where would you like to go?" "That's a bit soon Grace, we don't know how much we can afford yet, i mean you have your savings but you don't what they're for, do you?" I have a bank account and i had been putting money in there since i got my first paper round, and up until recently i had no clue what they were for, it was just my safety net. But now i had an idea, since the meal with Dan i knew exactly what to spend it on, my own cafe. I log on to google and look through image after image at luxury private beaches, five star hotels, first class flights and i know if i we are going to afford this holiday then i would have to break in to the savings.

We look through the internet for a while longer, till i see the time and open up a new tab. "Sorry Jay, it's just Dan said that he was going to do a live show tonight!" He kisses me on the cheek and turns the T.V. on, while i carry the laptop to our bedroom where Dan's face appears on the screen and the show starts.

I always put up a comment or two in his shows but he never saw any of them and tonight i thought it would be the same, but tonight someone brought up the topic of the future. Dan smiled and said, "Well a good friend of mine had this conversation with me last night and her answer really inspired me, i won't tell what she said, because that's private, but it really gave me something to think about." I sit back, i inspired him? Then i notice that all the comments seem to say the same thing.

she?

ur friend wasn't phil?

who is she?

is she your girlfriend dan?

I see him look at the comments briefly before blushing slightly, something i had never seen him do in all of his live shows. Then a siren flashes past his background and the award winning smile is back, "Guess the crime time!" He laughs and everyone forgets about the topic of who his friend is.

After his show ends i call him straight away, wanting to know more about what he said about me. He picks up on the first ring, "Hello?" "Hey it's me." "Oh Grace, what are you up to?" "Well i was watching your live show actually." "Oh my God! You were? All of it?" "Yes, and i didn't realise that i inspired you yesterday, you surprised me Howell." I hear him chuckle awkwardly, "Well you did. I loved how you were so sure about everything, you didn't hesitate once. It kind of me made me think about my own future and how i have no idea what i want." "Oh, don't worry about that Dan. Just take live one day at a time, there's no need to start worrying about the future, your too young." "Yeah, your right Grace, thank you. So apart from when i mentioned you, what did you think of the show?" "I thought it was great, you are so good at keeping calm when there's so many people watching you, you always keep the conversation going, even if it is one way." I walk over to the window and look out, imagining Dan in his flat, only a few miles away. "Well i'd better go, Phil has just made dinner, but i'll see you soon?" "Yep, sure. Bye Dan." "Bye Grace."

I put my phone on the bed and wrap my arms round my chest, wishing that Dan was here to actually talk to me, he understood me a lot more than Jason has ever done.
