Well, Hey...Fancy Seeing You Here?

Chapter 11 - Tea Time Laughs

I tried to forget everything that I had whirring around in my head. I'd only confuse myself. Of course it was right to tell Dan. He's someone I can trust.

When we all got home, Dan shooed me, Phil and Leasha away whilst he cooked a surprise dinner for us all. According to Phil he'd been planning it all day and was determined not to let anyone or anything distract him. I could smell vegetables and meat sizzling as I walked past the kitchen door to Dan's room. Shuffling onto his bed, I grabbed the laptop and began to surf the t'internet.

I must have fallen asleep pretty quickly since the next thing I hear is Dan's low voice near my ear telling me to wake up.

"Brooke...Brooke, tea's ready, It's going to get cold." He whispered, shaking my shoulder gently, waking me slowly from my nap. "Wow, you must be pretty tired? Today must have tired you out."

"Mmhmm, I didn't realise I'd fallen asleep." I said chuckling sleepily. I stretched my arms above my head, blinking quickly, "Let's go, I'm hungry and I'm desperate to see if you can cook!" My face and body perked up when I remembered Dan had made the meal and I sprung from the bed, grabbing his hand and running back to the dining room where amazing smells were lingering.

Candles were lit on the table and red cloths were covering the woodwork.

"Awww, Dan this is so cute. Is that stir fry..?!" Stir fry was my favourite. It was the only thing I could actually cook and not poison myself and Leasha off. We all sat down at the table and I swear Leasha and Phil were holding hands. One of their arms were constantly under the table and they were always exchanging innocent little smiles. They were too fucking cute.

"So...." I began to say, determined for someone to say something, the silence was killing me, " are you and Phil going to get together?" I asked excitedly. Both of them choked and spluttered on their food, turning bright red and avoiding eye contact. Dan and I just laughed...until I fell off my chair.

I fell off my fucking chair. I. Fell. Off. My. Chair.

In front of Dan and Phil.

I just lay there, first in shock at the fact I'd come crashing to the floor just from laughing. Then because the floor was surprisingly comfortable. I leaned back and began to laugh at my own pure stupidity. Dan bent down to help me up - but he laughed at me, so I pulled him down too with a loud thud as he hit the carpet next to me.

"Ouch! What was that for?!" He asked sitting up and rubbing his back.

"Laughing at me! Deal with it, ya twat!" I mimicked him from his video.

We slowly sat back at the table and continued eating after the occasional giggle.

"I just remembered...you guys never answered my question." I said glancing up at them, noticing they both turned red yet again. "Fine, I won't push it. But seriously, think about it - pair of you - you are too freaking cute together. You're like 'awwww' and 'ohhh bless' and 'whyyyyyyyy' at the same time" I made strange gestures with my hands, since my feels didn't allow me to make much sense.

Once again everyone burst out laughing.

**************

After dinner Dan and I sat by his computer in his room, whilst Phil and Leasha were sat watching 'Adventure Time' on the TV in the lounge. In my pocket, I felt my phone buzz with a text. It was from PJ.

'Hey, could you do me a favour and keep Dan busy for a couple of hours tomorrow whilst we all set up for the party?x x'

'Sure, not a problem, I'll ring you in the morning with details and stuff :P x x'

I was really starting to look forward to this party. I'd never been involved in a surprise party before, so all this excitement was new to me. Where would I take him? How would I persuade him to actually go outside? How long should I keep him out for? Would he actually want to go anywhere with me?

I'll have to find out after calling PJ tomorrow.
