Erin's POV

I had just uploaded a Q&A video to my YouTube channel which has recently got 1 million subscribers. I sent out a tweet:

@ErinCorby: I just uploaded a new Q&A video. Go and check it out!!x

I took a shower and brushed my blonde hair that had finally grown down to my waist. I did my makeup naturally then went on my phone as I had just heard the familiar PING as another email entered my inbox.

"Oh my God!" I said to myself.

I was invited to Playlist Live! I rang Phil

E: Phil Guess what?!

P: Erm I don't know tell me.

E: I'm going to Playlist Live!

P: Really?! That's great Erin! Are you looking forward to it?

E: I'm really looking forward to it! It's a youtubers dream!

P: I can't wait to see you there.

Phil and I had known each other years and he was the one who convinced me to make my own YouTube channel. I had always got along with Dan as well (Phil's best friend and room mate) and he seemed really nice. I have also met Zoe and Alfie but none of the other YouTubers. I was a huge fan of all the famous YouTubers in the UK and the US and I was really looking forward to meeting them all at Playlist (a huge youtube convention).

I knew I would be needing some new clothes especially as it will be hot in Orlando when Playlist is on. I left my apartment and got the tube into the city. I went to Forever 21 and bought some dresses, skinny jeans, shorts, tops and a few bikinis for the beach. I decided to get a coffee for the journey home and was ordering my drink when someone tapped my shoulder. I turned around and looked up (this person was pretty tall) and saw a big grin.

DAN'S POV

I saw Erin in the line for coffee and tapped her shoulder. She turned around. Wow. She was even more beautiful than I remember she smiled at me and hugged me and I can't say I was sad about it. Butterflies danced about in my stomach but I tried to ignore them. I failed.

"Hey, Dan!" Erin said.

"Hi!" I replied hugging her back. "So Phil told me you're going to Playlist?" I said and I have to admit I was thrilled.

"Yeah, I'm really looking forward to it!" We definitely need to hang out." Erin said

I grinned at her and agreed.

"Here, let me get that for you." I said paying the coffee shop guy.

"Dan! You don't need to do that." Erin said looking at me. Oh my god her beautiful eyes Dan stop staring.

"I wanted to." I replied smiling.

We sat down at a table and talked about our YouTube careers and she congratulated me on getting over 4 million subscribers.

"It still feels weird to think about it." I said shaking my head slightly. "I'm just going to the toilet, look after my jacket?" I said.

After I came back we both needed to get things done before Playlist Live so we hugged and left the coffee shop. I got back to my shared apartment and Phil said

"What took you so long?"

"Oh I bumped into Erin and we were just talking." I replied and started to think about her again.

"Earth to Dan?!" Phil half yelled.

"Sorry, what?!" I said coming out o my daze.

"I said: How was she?" Phil repeated.

"Yeah she was good and really looking forward to Playlist." I said.

"Good." Phil said and looked at his phone which just binged.

"Erin said look in your pocket?" Phil said looking down at the text on his phone. I put my hand in the pocket of my jacket and there was a note and some coins.

'Here is my number, we don't have each others for some reason and here is the coffee money too. E :)' The note read. I texted her.

D: Hi it's Dan and I wanted to buy you that coffee!

E: Hey Dan and sorry :D

I would sneakily give the money back to her next time we see each other and I hoped that it would be soon.
