Meeting Dan

by anonfangirling

Bella, aged 18, meets Dan Howell and they fall for each other... This is my first fanfic so there are a lot of errors, grammar mistakes and other things that I will correct at some point!:) Btw there's no actual sex scenes in this - just kissing. Haha thanks for reading, remember to leave a review. I've finished this one now...I think it came to a good, natural end, aha:)

11. Chapter 11

Dan pulled my body into his and we stood there for what felt like hours, my face against his chest and his hands slowly playing over my back. The world around us seemed to dissolve into an array of blurred insignificant colours as I felt his fingers trace down my spine so delicately it tingled as I faded into him. I felt complete like this; standing in the pale coils of moonlight, my body entwined with his, my hands exploring his chest.

'I'm so sorry about what happened.' he murmured, his lips grazing my ear as he spoke. I didn't reply – I couldn't. Nothing was quite making sense… There I was, standing outside my Mum's flat, wrapped in the arms of Dan Howell, my eyes still wet from crying. How was this happening to me? I didn't deserve it, I knew that much.

Somehow, he sensed the uncertainty that was washing over me. 'B?'

I felt him pull away slightly, and his fingers found mine. He held them softly and I melted under the dark russet sunset in his eyes. 'I shouldn't be here.' I mumbled weakly.

'No, you shouldn't, you bad girl. You should be fast asleep in bed.' he teased softly, grazing my lips with his. My heart beat out an uneven rhythm as he pulled away.

'Dan… I didn't mean it like that.' I whispered, closing my eyes and falling under the darkness of my thoughts. 'I don't deserve you. The fans are right…'

Dan kissed me softly again, his lips warm and sweet, leaving my jaw burning. 'Bella, don't you dare say that again.' He placed a forefinger over my lips and I closed my eyes again, warmth spreading through me. I wasn't sure how much time passed, all I could feel was his body against mine, our breathing the only sound that disturbed the perfect, moonlit silence.

Then everything was shattered. I heard a creak of bed springs from through the door of my Mum's bedroom. Frantically, I glanced up at Dan, clinging onto his hands.

'I'm not sure I want you to go…' I whispered.

'I'll see you tomorrow,' he murmured softly, before lightly touching his lips to my cheek and fading into the darkness of the stairwell.

My lips burning, I closed the door and disappeared into my room, dimming the light and settling underneath the bed covers before anything else bad could ruin the moment.

My date with Dan couldn't come soon enough.
