A sleepless night with Dan

chapter 2

I woke up when two strong arms picked me up and carried me to my bedroom. Dazed I put my arms around Phil's neck and cuddled closer.

He carefully put me down on my bed and tucked me in. He turned around ready to leave. With surprising strength I grabbed his wrist. "Don't go Phil." I said pulling him closer.

"Stay with me." I said again when he started pulling away. "No Dan, let me go." Phil said, visibly struggling. "I love you Phil."

The skinny boy froze in my arms and then slowly relaxed. The last thing I heard before I fell asleep was his answer: "I love you too Dan."

I woke up with a small weight across my chest. The weight moved and I looked down to see Phil lying in my arms. I was so shocked I screamed and bolted upright, waking Phil in the process.

"Well hello, finally awake?" Phil said laughing but then he saw my face. "What's wrong?" Slightly concerned. "You are in my bed." I stated. I saw his eyes get watery and his smile dropped even more.

"No no, that's not what I meant! It's more like 'Why are you in my bed?'. " I tried to recover my mistake. "You don't remember anything what happened yesterday?" Phil said smiling slightly. "Oh gods... What did I do? Did we have sex?" I asked again, slightly scared now.

"Don't worry, we didn't have sex. You just confessed your love to me and you asked me to stay with you, so I did." His deep greenish blue eyes convinced me.

"You have beautiful eyes." I blurted out, and I immediately regretted it and mentally slapped myself. "Thanks." Phil said while blushing. My stomach saved me from this slightly awkward situation by growling.

"Cereal time!" I squeaked. "Oops, I ate all the cereal yesterday." Phil said still blushing from my comment. "Phiiiil!" I whined. "Didn't I tell you to eat your own cereal?" I asked him.

"Yes you did, multiple times. I know I got issues." He muttered ashamed. "Guess that means I have to go to the store." I said while looking around for a pair of trousers.

I wore a doge shirt an black skinny jeans. "Come back quickly!" Phil yelled while I ran down the stairs. (Yes I actually RAN.) I closed the door behind me an looked to cross the street.

The distant sound of sirens was pushed to the back of my mind. Most of it was occupied with the gorgeous boy that was waiting for me upstairs. I crossed the street and stopped in the middle to look up to see Phil waving to me.

The sound of squeaking brakes made me look sideways. The last thing I saw was a blue blur chased by 4 cops.
