Everyone's running from something but we don't know when it's coming...

~Chapter 35~ Shopping

"Hi Rose, sweetheart, how are you?" I asked, and I could hear her smiling even though I couldn't see her.

"I'm perfectly fine. But I was calling to ask you how YOU are." I said while I was making tea. 

"I've been better, throwing up a few times and feeling tired. But, I know what I'm doing it for, and that's more than worth it." She said looking at the positive sides.

"You know that if you need any help you can always call eh?"

"I know sweetheart, but I'm fine trust me." She said.

"Yeah but I mean when you're not fine." I said hoping that she would accept help if she needed it.

"If I need someone I'll call you okay?"

"Promise?"

"Promise."

"Okay, I love you mum." I said putting the teabags in the mugs.

"I love you too. But now go, and spend some time with that amazing boyfriend of yours." She said.

"Bye."

"Bye." I hung up the phone and put the breakfast on the table where Dan was already sitting.

"How was she?" He asked.

"She said she's fine." I said sitting opposite him.

"That's great." He said giving me a reassuring smile.

"Yup." I replied starting to eat my breakfast. When we finished I got a text from Laura asking if I'd like to go shopping today so I agreed and we'd meet up by starbucks at 1.

"Dan I'm going to go shopping with Laur today!" I shouted from the living room to him in the kitchen.

"Okay babes, have fun!" He shouted back. I got my shoes and everything ready and went to give Dan a kiss before I left.

"I'm going now." I said kissing his cheek.

"All right. Bye gorgeous." He replied giving me a kiss on my lips.

"Bye." I said and walked out the door.

After a few minutes I arrived at starbucks and saw Laura already sitting inside with two coffees, so I quickly went inside and sat down by her.

"Hey love, how're you doing?" She asked.

"I'm fine. You?" I said.

"Couldn't been better. And how's your mum?" She asked. I had told her about my mum over the phone but this was the first time that I talked face to face with her about it.

"She's saying that she's fine. But I'm just worried, you know." I said being honest.

"I understand. But she's a fighter, she can get through this." She said squeezing my hand.

"Enough about my mum. How're you and Glen doing?" I said smiling.

"Amazing! He's so sweet and caring." She said with a twinkling in her eyes.

"So he's being good to you?" I asked.

"Oh yes! He's more than good! If you know what I mean..." She said winking at me.

"Laura! I don't need any dirty details, you're both my friends I don't want to know what you're doing to each other!" I said when I realized what she was talking about.

"Well you're my best friend, so actually we're supposed to tell each other those things. But, I'll save it. For now." She said laughing at me.

"Laura you're crazy." I said finishing my coffee.

"I know, I know." She said smiling. 

We both finished our coffees and went to all kind of different shops. When it was 5PM our feet were hurting like hell and we were carrying to many bags that we could barely hold them so we decided to go home. Laura agreed to come back to mine and Danny's so she drove after me to our house. When we walked into the living room with all our bags we saw Danny and Glen sitting on the couch watching a football match.

"Laura!" Glen said surprised to see her here.

"I see you guys had a great day?" Dan said nodding to all our bags that were surrounding us.

"Oh yeah, you could defiantly say that! I've learned a lot about your relation and stuff like that." Laura said starting her dirty talk again.

"Laura!" I said hitting her playfully.

"Oh don't be embarrassed of talking about me, and how good I am." Danny said smirking and he wrapped his arms around my waist.

"Yeah right mr sex-god. She said you sucked." Laura said trying to sound serious.

"I didn't say that!" I said raising my eyebrows at her.

"I know, but I wanted to see Dan's reaction." Laura admitted. 

"I knew that you were lying, cause from what I've heard from the girl herself..." Danny said winking.

"Okay enough!!" I said blushing and walked to the kitchen to get us all a beer. When I came back Laura was sitting on Glen's lap so I handed Laura a beer and Glen a coke and sat down in between Dan's legs and gave him his beer. We watched the end of the match and Dan was over the moon when Man U won. After the match Glen and Laura went back home so we said our goodbyes and I started to make dinner.

"So babe, are you gonna show me what you've bought?" Danny said wrapping his arms around me from behind.

"If you want me to." I replied.

"Yeah of course! Otherwise I wouldn't ask." He said.

"Okay give me a second." I said putting the lasagna in the oven. I walked to the living room where he was sitting on the couch and I started show him everything that I had bought. It took me about half an hour to show him everything cause Laura and I had so many, even bikinis even though it was still about 5 months until the summer. But we didn't care.

"I like that one!" He said pointing at a white strapless bikini.

"It'll look sexy on you." He added with a wink. I felt myself blush and quickly showed him something else. By the time he had seen everything the lasagna was ready as well so we sat down on the couch and ate our dinner in front of the tv cause we were both tired. When we finished eating I went upstairs to change into some sweatpants and a t-shirt and cuddled up to Dan on the couch.
