Chapter 2: The Black-Out

We finally reached the restaurant right on time. We walked inside and spotted Dan and Phil in a corner booth near the back window. They waved at us and stood up. When we walked over to them, my legs started going weak and my heart started to flutter because all I could see were Dans' gorgeous brown eyes and his adorably goofy smile. It was contagious and by the time we reached them, I was grinning like an idiot.

*time skip*

After 2 hours of chatting and eating, we finally finished dinner and left the restaurant. The guys told us that we needed to come over tomorrow for a movie marathon.

"So you'll come over at noon?" Phil asked.

"Yeah, we'll be there." I said.

"Oh I can't come. I have to meet with a client tomorrow and it's going to take all day." She then turned to me and gave me a wink, "But you should still go."

I gave her the stink eye, but I turned and faced the guys with the best smile I could muster. "Yeah sounds good. I'll be there at noon."

"Okay, see you them." we all started hugging and waving goodbye. Jessica and I then turned and started walking home.

*time skip* 

As I got ready for bed, my mind started drifting to thoughts that I knew I shouldn't be thinking about. Dan. I couldn't help thinking about his smile and the way it felt like I was just going to melt when I looked into his eyes and the way his arms felt so strong when he hugged me...I all of a sudden snapped out of my daydream and quickly crawled into my bed ready to think about anything other than...him. Before I could think about it any longer, I let sleep overcome me.

*time skip*

*knock knock knock* *knock knock knock* "(Y/N) wake up! It's 11:30! You've gotta get moving if you're gonna make it to Dan and Phil's place by noon!", Jessica yelled to me from outside my bedroom door.

"Ughhhh......OK i'm up, i'm up." I slowly rolled out of my warm comfy bed and walked to my bathroom to take a quick shower. As I was looking for something to wear, I realized that everything that I was picking out, I felt like wasn't good enough. Finally, I just grabbed the first thing that I saw and didn't think about it any further. I ended up in a pair of black ripped up jeans with a white long-sleeved shirt with a blue scarf. I glanced at my outfit in the mirror one more time before rushing out the door to the Uber I had called after I got out of the shower. 

As I knocked on the door to the guys apartment, my heart started to spin. All I could think about was how I would act around Dan, as I had ended up dreaming about him last night. As the door all of a sudden swung open, I was engulfed in a hug from both Phil and Dan. I started chuckling and wormed my way out of their embraces. They then led me into their living room where they had a pizza, a bowl popcorn, and a pile of movies laying on their coffee table. I was in heaven. I ran over to the stack of movies and started checking them out, trying to figure out which one we should watch first. 

We were sitting on that couch for hours. Our movie list consisted of the Insidious trilogy, Pulp Fiction, Breakfast at Tiffany's, Indiana Jones, Alien, etc. Before we knew it, it was 7:00 p.m. Phil had left to go get some Chinese food for us, but it started pouring while he was gone, so he was stuck at the restaurant till the storm blew over. I got up to go to the bathroom, but all of a sudden I saw a flash of lightening and the lights went out. Another crack of thunder sounded so loud that I jumped and yelped. Dan started laughing at me and got up to go look for some candles. 

"Hey (Y/N), can you go look in the kitchen for some matches?" Dan shouted to me from the linen closet.

"Yeah, sure." I walked into the kitchen and started rummaging through the drawers.

"Find them yet?" I jumped and let out a tiny squeal when Dan all of a sudden appeared behind me. He chuckled and started shaking his head. 

"You are one squeaky mouse aren't you?" I started blushing, thankful for the blackout so he couldn't see. I shoved him playfully and went back to looking for the matches.  Dan put his arm around me and I froze as my heart started to race. He was reaching around me to open up the drawer next to me and pulled out a match box, which he then held in front of my face. I scoffed and rolled my eyes. "I was about to look there next-" I was cut off by the sound of his phone ringing. He reached for it, looked at the caller ID and answered.

"Hey Phil what's up?.....Yeah yeah we're fine.....okay....sounds good...i'll see you tomorrow, bye." He hung up the phone and turned to me. "Uh Phil said that the storm could go on all night, so he's just gonna stay at his friends place since it's down the block from where he is. You should probably call Jessica and tell her that you'll crash here tonight." 

"Okay, yeah good idea. I'll go call her now." I walked into the living room and picked up my cell to see that I had missed a call from Jessica. I called her back and stood there, waiting for her to answer.

"(Y/N)! Oh my god, thank goodness! Are you okay? Are you still at Dan and Phil's?"

"Yeah Jessica i'm still here and i'm safe, don't worry. I'm just going to stay here tonight and Phil was at the Chinese restaurant when the storm started, so hes staying over at a friend's place."

"Ooh so you and Dan are there...alone?" She said the last word in a suggestive tone.

"Yes Jessica, but don't get all dirty and shit. It's not like that. We're just friends. Nothings going to happen." I said as I watched Dan leave the room with a couple candles in his hands.

"Okay...just remember to use protection if something does happen."

"JESSICA! I'm hanging up the phone now. I'll call you tomorrow." and before she could say another word, I pressed the END CALL button and went to plug in my phone into the charger until I remembered that the power was out, so I just shut off my phone. Dan had finished putting candles around the kitchen, living room, bathroom and his room. He was standing in the door frame gazing a me until he realized that I had caught him staring and he had started to blush.

He cleared his throat and started talking. "So you can sleep in either my room or Phil's, but I should warn you that Phil has a lot of weird stuff in his room, so your safe bet would probably be to just sleep in my room and i'll sleep on the cou-"I cut him off.

"Hey don't be ridiculous. We can just sleep together..." not realizing  how that sounded till I said it out loud, "...Oh no I-I meant to just sleep in the same bed n-not, uh, sexually, just as fri-" He walked over and put his hands on my shoulders, "-ends." I whispered the last part feeling slightly stunned at the feeling of his hands on me.

"(Y/N) calm down. I know what you meant. Come on i'll lend you something to wear to sleep in." He then led me into his room. I went and sat on his bed while he rummaged though his drawers pulling out a pair of sweats, a t-shirt and an extra toothbrush and threw them in my direction. I dodged out of the way before the clothes hit me in the face. I thanked him, grabbed a flashlight, and walked into the bathroom to change and brush my teeth. As I walked back toward his room, I realized that we had forgotten to blow out the candles, so I turned around and walked into the kitchen.
