AMY'S P.O.V.
"Hello?" I call out, carrying the bags of food shopping i picked up on my way home from the dress shop. "Hey." Dan calls back from the living room where he is busy editing one of his videos. "Hey Baby, got the food shopping." I greet him, he stands up and takes the bags off me. "Great, good day?" He says, kissing me on the cheek. "Yeah, quite good. Where's Phil?" I ask, checking my phone for messages. "Actually, we need to talk about that." Dan replies from the Kitchen, i follow him and lean against the work surface while he unpacks the shopping and puts it away. "What's up?" I ask. "Phil has been offered a job in a America." Dan says, stopping his work to look at me. "Oh Dan." I say and hug him close. "He's going out there next week for a trial, he's not sure whether to take it." He explains. "Dan, i'm so sorry." "But you do know what it means?" He says, a twinkle in his eyes. "What?" I ask, my arms still wrapped round his neck. "It means that we have the place to ourselfs!" He beams and kisses me, "Wow, just you and me, eh?" I chuckle as his lips caress my cheek. "Yep, we don't have to be quiet anymore or wait till he's out." Dan whispers in my ear and it sends a shiver down my spine. We stare at each other's eyes for a second before we can't stand to wait any longer. Dan lifts me up and puts me on the worktop, i unbutton the first few buttons of his top, revealing his toned torso. He presses his lips softly to mine and we make out, clinging to each other and enjoying the moment of heat.
"Well i guess that i should finish putting the food away then." He chuckles, his lips moving slowly away from mine, but my hands pull his shirt back towards me. "No." I murmur, wrapping my legs round his pelvis to stop him from moving away. "Come on Amy, we can't spend the rest of the day like this." We are lying the sofa, both still a little breathless from the earlier activity. "Ok then, you win." I pout and i let him gently move my legs off him. He winks at me and picks his trousers off the floor on his way to the Kitchen. I sit up slowly, the blood rushing back to my head. I reach over and pick up my phone, grinning as i type out my message.
Missing you baby, come back soonxxx
I press send as i lie back down and hear his phone beep from the other room. One second later and my phone lights up.
U 2 baby, can't wait till ur Mrs Howellxxxxx
I smile and put my phone back, fiddling with my hair as i stare up at the ceiling. Me and Dan would finally have the place to ourselfs, don't get me wrong, it wouldn't be complete with Phil but it will be nice with just the two of us. More like a family. I swing my legs round and stand up, i walk to the kitchen and watch Dan hum to himself as he puts the food away, drumming the tins as he picks them up. I hear the post come through the door and walk off to get it. There are a couple of bills and one hand addressed one for me. I open it as i walk back up the stairs and inside is a small note.
Amy,
I hope that you can use this for your wedding dress, i wanted to buy it for you anyway. I'm sorry about your father, he'll come round soon. Send Dan my love, and i hope to see you soon darling,
all my love,
mumxxx
A cheque falls out of the note for a large amount that will easily pay for my dress. I hold the note to my chest and my eyes start to well up. I had been feeling guilty about the row ever since it had happened, and to be honest, i didn't really want to get married without my parent's blessing and presence. I take the cheque and put it in my bedside table, i make a mental note to call mum tomorrow and invite her down to see my dress.
