Those Girls (A Dan and Phil Phan fic) *Sequel to That girl*

The first day

*Friday Morning*

Ellen's POV

I was going to miss Dan ridiculous amounts over the next few days. I hated being away from him for even just a day so to have a long weekend away where I shouldn't see him would be torture. That morning I packed up a bunch of clothes into a case and lugged it out to the taxi that was waiting to take me and Carlie to the hotel where we'd be staying for the next few days. I warned Dan about what he was letting me do and what could happen but all he did was kiss me and the told me he trusted me enough to tell him the truth when it was over and that he'd do the same with me. That made me feel so much better about it all. I knew now that if something were to happen that it shouldn't affect my relationship and that Dan and I trusted eachother. I wasn't going to go out of my way to get guys but yeah, if someone approached me and started flirting and then something happened then it would be fair enough. I wasn't going to watch over Carlie constantly but I wanted to know that she was still thinking about Phil. I would let her go where she wants and maybe even ask her to come out with me one or two nights so I knew that what she was doing, and what she was telling Phil was the same story. I wanted to be able to trust her as my friend and youtube partner, but something just hadn't been right for weeks.

I latched onto Dan at the front door to our block of flats. He just gave me a tight embrace, kissing the top of my head and saying his goodbyes. Phil was anxious about this whole thing, I could tell just by looking at him. He was white as a ghost and when Carlie went in to hug him goodbye he looked like he was going to pass out. I guess this whole thing, although his idea, had finally dawned on him. This was actually happening now, he had actually given Carlie the freedom to do what she wanted for a weekend with no rules or relationships to go by. When we got into the taxi I thought it would be best to instantly make plans with Carlie so we weren't just doing any old thing.

"So tonight I was thinking we could go out drinking together?"

"Urrm...you know I was just going to stay in tonight! I barely slept last night and I'm absolutely knackered"

"Really? I thought you'd want to have fun on your first night?"

"Trust me I really do want to, but I just don't have the energy to. It's only morning, I've had a cup of coffee and I'm already struggling. Can we just go for some food and a film or something? then if you wanna go out later you can"

"Yeah, that sounds good! I might have look down to the hotel bar later but that's about it"

We arrived at the hotel not long after, we checked in to get our room cards, went upstairs and went to get changed. It wasn't like Carlie to want to stay in and sleep, But I guess anxiety for today may have stopped her from sleeping last night.

Carlie's POV

We ended up going to an amazing Chinese buffet place for lunch and then to see a new film that had came out last weekend. I was having to pretend I was tired when really Joe and I had made this whole plan up. His mum and dad were away working and Zoe was away with Alfie on holiday meaning I needed to escape to hotel and go to Joe's later tonight. His idea was to pretend I wasn't up to going out so that we turn in quite early, I sneak out of my room, go to see Joe and I'm back in the morning before Ellen even knows I was gone! Then if she happens to knock on my door it just seems like I'm out for the count because I got "so little sleep" last night. I personally think ot was a great plan!

It got to 8pm and I was sat in Ellen's room "falling asleep" and in the end she just told me, "Carlie, you look absolutely drained! If you want to go to bed, you can you know? I'll go downstairs to the bar for a bit?'

"You sure? I'm really sorry for falling asleep on you, I just can't keep my eyes open"

"Of course I'm sure! I'll make friends downstairs! Do you want me to check on you on my way back up?"

"Nah, it's okay. I'm a pretty heavy sleeper and once I'm asleep I'll be okay"

I got up from her bed, went along to my room and began to beautify myself for Joe. I mean, I made a big impression last time so I had to at least look a little bit nice for him. I slid out of my room, making sure the coast was clear and got into a taxi to take me the short distance to Joe's. When I got there he quickly let me in so no one saw and the second the door shut our lips collided. It was one of those magical moments. We hadn't seen eachother in a while and we were finally reunited, we could be alone without worrying about family or creating backstories.

"I've missed you so much, Carlie"

"I've missed you too, Joe. You are sure Zoe won't be coming back? right?"

"Positive! Her and Alfie went away earlier this week for a four day cruise so they aren't due back until late tomorrow night"

We began kissing again before going into the kitchen to have something to eat. We then sat and watched a film before it eventually got late and he took me by the hand and lead me up to his bedroom…
