"Are you sure that i should come?" Dan asks for the hundredth time. "Yes, i want him to meet you. Just relax Ok? He will love you Dan." I assure him as we walk down to the London eye the next morning. I have chosen to wear my new lace skirt and white t-shirt, seeing as it is hot today. My hair is lose and i am wearing a pair of sunglasses and flip-flops. Dan is wearing his laser cat shirt and jeans. He seems awkward today, not his usual jokey self. Don't get me wrong, i do realise that it is odd to take your fiance to meet your ex-boyfriend, but it has been so long since i have Mark, i'm sure that he will have moved on, just like me.

"There he is!" I spot him, hands in pockets, his blond curly hair blowing in the wind. I speed up and let go of Dan's hand as i run to meet him. "Mark!" I call out, he looks up when he hears me and grins as we embrace. He has barely changed since i last saw him, the same hair, same sharp cheek bones and same good looks. "Amy, it's so amazing to see you." He says, looking me up and down and beaming. "You too, it's been way too long Mark." We stand just taking in each other's presence when i hear a awkward cough from behind me, bringing me to my senses. "Mark, i want you to meet Dan, my fiance." I say, as Dan steps forward to shake Mark's hand. "It's a pleasure to meet you Mark." Dan greets him with his charming smile. "Wow, i know you off YouTube, you're famous mate." Mark says. Dan nods and puts his arm round me, "So, how have you been?" I ask."Great, I've got a job working for a law firm actually, just started the other week. It's based in Manchester but i have a meeting up here tomorrow." "Wow, great for you." "Yeah, studying law was hard but it all pays off in the end." "Dan actually studied law at Manchester, didn't you?" I look at Dan. "Really? Didn't realise that, who are you working for?" Mark asks. "Actually, i dropped out after a year. It wasn't for me." He replies. "So you just make videos?" "And i have a radio show with my best friend on Sundays." He adds. There is a small awkward silence then i pipe up, "Why don't we go get a drink?" Marks smiles, "I would love that." "Actually, Amy i'd better get going to the radio studio. There's some stuff that i have to pick up from Sunday's show." I am slightly disappointed by Dan's reply but i decide that it would be best if i let him get on with what he has to do. "Ok, see you back at the flat." I say and kiss him goodbye. Mark and I start walking to a coffee shop, trying to catch up with lost time.

"So, are you seeing anyone?" I casually ask Mark over coffee. "No, i haven't really had anytime to date, with Uni and now work." I nod, "Well make sure to save the date in spring." I say. "Why?" "The wedding is going to be in spring." I explain. "So you mean to say that you're being serious about marrying him?" He frowns. "Yes, of course i am. Silly! I love Dan." "But he makes videos on YouTube, for a living." I am puzzled by Mark's questioning, i assumed that he would be happy for me. "And he has a show on radio 1! He gets reasonable pay." I point out. He sighs and sits forward, grabbing my hands. "Amy, you're making a huge mistake. How do you expect him to provide for you when he doesn't have a proper job? The sooner the pair of you grow up the better." I move my hands away, back round my mug. "You sound like my dad Mark, i love Dan, that's all that matters to me." He shakes his head and i start to feel really uncomfortable. "Amy, i realise now that we were too young to get married, i don't blame you for saying no. But now i have a high paying job, a house, a future. One i want to spend with you." I feel sick, and the room starts spinning. "Amy, marry me. Leave this all behind and come and live with me, back near your parents. Where you belong." "Mark, no. I'm not going to leave Dan, we are going to get married. God, what would my parents think about this?" "Well, seeing as it was their idea, pretty good." He mutters under breath. "Wait, what did you say?" I sit forward. "They told me that you were in London, and that i should win you back." I shake my head in disbelief. "How could they?" I ask myself. "Mark, i think that i should leave. This was a mistake." I stand up. "Wait! Amy, my feelings for you are true, they never went away, please chose me." He begs, like a child. "Well my feelings for you have gone, goodbye Mark." I pick up my bag and march out of the cafe, happy to be back in the quiet and fresh air as i step back out. I hope that i never have to see him again.
