FALLING IN LOVE AT A COFFEE SHOP | D.H [✓]

Wednesday

(Dan's POV)

I was surrounded by darkness and a comfortable warmth. Two things that made me want to stay in bed forever. Life was simpler when you were sleeping, a perfect time to just forget and cease to exist, even for a few hours. I always slept in as much as I possibly could to postpone the duties of the day, but when you have a relentless roommate to deal with, sleeping in becomes difficult. Especially when they constantly poke you to wake up and get outside because you've been staying in the house for a month.

"Dan I swear to god if you don't get out of bed and get your butt outside today I'm going to drag you out myself." I hear Phil exclaim, quite loudly I may add, while poking me in the shoulder.

Irritated, all I respond with is grumpy mumbling and silently pray to all the gods that he'll leave me alone if I ignore him long enough.

"Ignoring me isn't going to work this time Dan. I'm getting you out of this apartment if it's the last thing I ever do."

"Why can't you just leave me alllooonnee?"

"Because I'm worried about you, that's why. You haven't left home for almost a month, you're going to become paler than I am at this rate."

I can't help but chuckle at his comment but I still make no effort to move.

"I swear Dan this is the last time I'm asking you. Don't make me go to drastic measures."
Again, I ignore him not believing his threat. What could he possibly do that was so bad?

Once Phil realizes I have no interest in moving I hear him walk over to my window and open the blinds allowing the light to stream in to the dark room and before I can cover my face with the covers he rips them off me allowing the cold to assault my shirtless body.

"Why are you so cruel?! Were you possessed by Satan?!" I shout curling up into a ball trying to warm myself up.

"I warned you didn't I? Now get your ass out of bed before I poor ice water all over you."

I gasp and whip my head around to face him with a look of shock on my face, "You wouldn't dare."

"Oh I would. Don't test me Howell." He replies back fiercely. "Now get dressed, we're going out to breakfast."

I'm left sitting in bed dumbfounded as he leaves my room. Was he really being serious about the ice water? Either way, I wasn't going to stay in bed to find out, meaning I actually had to get up.

"You win this time Lester." I angrily mumble as I force myself out of bed and into a clean change of clothes. I don't bother showering since I'll just end up crawling back into bed the moment I come back home. Scowling, I meet Phil at the front door.

"You could have at least let me stay in bed until 10 you know. Don't you think 8:30 is a bit early?"

"No it isn't. I have to go out anyways and I wasn't about to let you decay in your bedroom for another day. You need to get some fresh air, even for a few hours. Now stop scowling."

Rolling my eyes I step out of the flat and walk over to the elevator until I notice an out of order sign. Defeated, I let out a sigh, "Phiiiillll please just let me stay home."

"For the love of god Dan stop being so mopey. I'm doing this for your own good."

"Fine. But I'm getting you back for this. At least tell me where we're going for breakfast." I say as we begin the walk down the stairs.

"I was thinking Takk. It won't be too crowded so you won't complain about the people and you can see that girl you always stare at."

I automatically feel the heat in my cheeks, "What are you talking about? I don't stare at a girl there."
