"Dan, please calm down. You're over reacting." I call after him as he storms in to our room and shuts the door behind him. He could be so childish sometimes. I sigh and give up on calming him down and load my new laptop i brought recently to celebrate my book. I make myself a cup of tea and look through my twitter, facebook and tumblr pages.
I click on to Phil's facebook page and see that he is online.
Hello stranger
I type and take a sip of my tea.
Amy! What's up?
He replies a few seconds later.
Just been to my book launch, but Dan's in a sulk atm
Oh no! :( Tell him to stop messing around or i'll have to tell him off!
haha, will do! i think that he's still upset that you can't make it to the wedding
me too, :( im still trying to get time off
ok,thanks
better go, off to work, chat to you later Amyxx
byee!
I shut down the laptop and draw the curtains as i wonder whether i have left it long enough to approach Dan. I hesitate by our bedroom door before knocking. "Yes?" I hear him say. I open the door and see him sat in bed, his eyes are red and blotchy. "Dan?" I say as i carefully sit down next to him, trying to work out what is wrong. "Please don't leave me Amy." He says, fresh tears flowing down his cheeks. "Of course i won't silly. Why did you say that?" "I freaked out when you told me that Mark had proposed again, he's so better than me. He has a proper job, a house, lives near your parents and probably has more money than me." I shake my head and laugh. "Do you think that i care about any of those things Dan? You're the one for me, i love you Dan and we're getting married, ok?" "Ok, it's just i keep thinking how i don't deserve someone as wonderful as you, you're one in a million." I blush slightly and hug Dan, "And that makes you one in a billion." I say as i wrap my arms round his neck and he starts to cheer up. He smiles and presses his lips to my neck and i sit on his lap, pulling my fingers gently through his silky hair.
THE NEXT DAY
"Ok, so this one is red velvet, a chocolate sponge with red food colouring." I take a bit of the cake and look to Dan for his reaction. "Mmmm, this is so good." he says and the cake shop owner blushes. "I love this cream cheese icing, it's different to the other cakes." I add, wiping my fingers on the napkin. "We also have a carrot cake with the same icing if you want to try that." The shop owner offers. "Oh yes please." She smiles and leaves me and Dan in the small room out the back of a lovely little cake shop where we are trying cake for the wedding cake.
"This is the best part of the planning." Dan jokes, finishing off another piece of the cake. "Stop eating! We still have another cake shop to visit this afternoon, you'll burst!" I poke his slim stomach and he grabs my hand and starts tickling me. "Hey! Stop it!" I shout as he grins and continues tickling my neck, making me curl up in a helpless ball. "Dan! Seriously! Stop!" I laugh and he slows down, putting his arm lovingly round me. "I'm sorry Amy, it's just you're so ticklish." He teases as the lady walks back carrying another plate of cake. "So, when is the wedding?" She asks, passing us pieces. "20th May." i reply, used to answering the question. "So a spring wedding. Lovely. What's your theme?" "It's a elegant vintage theme with a colour theme of sky blue. Quite simple but still really sweet." I say taking the cake. "That sounds so lovely. I must say, you two make a very sweet couple." I blush and Dan squeezes my shoulder slightly. "Thank you, i think so too." he replies, looking at me, enjoying my embarrassment. "Wow, this one is lush." I say, changing the subject, "Nice and light." I add. "Mmmm, i think that i prefer the red velvet." Dan says, eyeing up the spare slices. "Yes, me too. I think that we should have that one then."
I smile at Dan, it always felt really good when we decided on something for the wedding, it was getting so near. We only had to sort the bridesmaid's dresses, transport, wedding favours and our vows. I was going to have three bridesmaids, Sophie, my cousin Lola and my old friend from school, Daisy. I hadn't dared to bring up the subject of Dan's best man, i knew that he didn't want anyone else to do it and that he still hoped that Phil might be able to make it. I just hoped that it wouldn't bring a sad mood to the happiest day of our lives.
