Fifty shades of Phan

Chapter 18

"I stopped tickling you so-" Phil started but I interrupted him, 
"You want me to kiss you?!" I grin, feeling confused about what's going on,
"No!" Phil shouts defensively, and I feel my heart sink,
"Oh,okay" I sigh, pushing myself off Phil's body and back onto the floor.

Phil's cheeks are bright red, and I feel bad for embarrassing him, even though the flame inside me that slightly hoped Phil liked me back has been extinguished by a combination of tears and hopeful come.
"What would you have done if I had kissed you?" I ask Phil once he's sat up on his sofa, and I had perched next to him. Phil's face twists and turns as he thinks, and as the silence grows, I feel ever less hopeful that he would reply saying that he liked me.

"Depends on your reasoning I guess" Phil smiles, and I start to think on how I'd reply, should I be honest?
"If I said I liked you?" I blush, looking at the floor,
"I'd kiss you" Phil stammers, now it's his time to blush. My head shoots up, 
"What!?" I gasp, confused why Phil would kiss me.

"I would kiss you" Phil repeats, and I stare at my friend,
"You would?" I smirk, and Phil nods, is this my queue to tell him how I feel?

"Hey Phil I-"
"Dan I think I'm gay" Phil whimpers, as he interrupts me.
"You think or you know?" I ask, feeling the fire relight itself, 
"I know" Phil nods, looking back up into my eyes,
"Is there someone?" I ask, my heartbeat rapidly increasing, Phil's eyes dart around the room, 
"Maybe" He replied simply, and my heart sunk agian,
"Can I tell you something Phil?" I ask, and Phil nods,
"I'm gay too"

Phil glances up at me, 
"Is there someone?" Phil copies my question and I nod, still interlocking eye contact with him,
"Who?" Phil asks,
"we can share at the same time?" I suggest, and Phil nods.
Here goes nothing

"3...2...1" I count down, 
"You" We both say in unison. My heart misses a beat when I hear Phil say he liked me, and judging by Phil's facial expression he has the same feeling in his chest like his whole body is about to explode.
"You like me?" I ask shocked, and Phil nods,
"You like me?" Phil giggles, and I nod,
"So do you want to go uh- on a date sometime?" I cringe and Phil nods happily,
"I'd love to Mr.Howell".

I awkwardly pull Phil into a hug, and kiss his cheek, feels real, but I have to check...
"Um Phil, could you possibly slap me REALLY HARD" I smile, feeling my eyes widen as I plead Phil,
"What? No! I don't want to hurt you!" Phil gasps, and I laugh at Phil's concern,
"Oh don't worry, I need to make sure I'm awake" I explain, and Phil stares at me, slowly breaking out the hug,
"Please" I add, fluttering my eyelashes.

Slowly Phil lifts his hand and lightly taps my face, squealing as he does, scrunching up his eyelids.
"Come on Phil,  harder" I scold, realising my innuendo after I'd said it,
"I can't!" Phil whines, and I stare blankly at him,
"Pretend there's a wasp on my if you have to, I need to check I'm awake!" I suggest.

Phil looks away and pounds his hand on my face with the greatest of speed, I grab my cheek in pain, and Phil lets out a scream, 
"I'm so sorry!" Phil apologies, as he inspects the giant red hand mark on my face.
"urgh motherr-" I wince, then I notice the concern in Phil's face,
"Thank you" I nod, wiping a way the tears from my face, and Phil pulls me back into the hug.

"Can I get a bag of frozen peas please?" I ask, and Phil goes off into the kitchen. Well at least I now know that it's not a dream this time. 

"Where are we going for the date then?" I ask Phil, as he returns to the room with my bag of peas, 
"We could go to that cat café that opened in London?" Phil suggests and I nod,
"Cat café it is then, shall I pick you up from work at let's say 5:30?" I suggest, and Phil nods,
"Sounds perfect"

Phil and I go to his laptop, which is covered in stickers of kittens and lions. Phil goes onto google and I see he has my website open on a spare tab,
"I'll just search the Cat café's address" Phil smiles, and I nod. 
"Hey Phil, we need some more models for the website and Howell's clothes could always do with a new hot body on the team" I offer, desperate for Phil to be in the new photo shoot for our new summer range.
"I'm not famous though" Phil shrugs,and I mimic his shrug,
"So it's settled, you're in the next photo shoot, it's on the 14th" I grin, and I see Phil smile, 
"You really want me?" Phil asks,
"Phil, I don't just want you, I need you."
