Hey! <3 I really hope you enjoyed my first chapter, I don't know if every chapter will be as long as that one, it just really depends. So please read, and vote and follow me, I follow back! So Skye is about to meet Dan! Goodbye Danosaurs-Megan ♥

Skye's P.O.V.

The taxi stops outside my new apartment and the taxi driver gets out and opens the door for me while Phil gets out the other side. We grab my bags from the boot of the car and I get my purse out to pay him but Phil stops me by pushing my hand away and bringing some money out of his pocket. I thank him and when the taxi drives away I give him another hug and he hugs me back lovingly.

I take a deep breath and walk behind Phil as he opens up the door. We take two steps and turn right into the living room that I have only ever seen in videos. Dan is sitting on one of the couches, oh my god his posture is appalling, he is slouched down with his laptop on his knees, just scrolling by the looks of it. Yeah okay, I scroll but I have good posture, I sit with my back straight and Phil's exactly the same. He really needs to take a Pilates class or something.

"Dan" Phil starts and he looks up, okay, he's attractive. His eyes rest on me and he gives me a half smile. I see Phil give him the look from the corner of my eye and Dan sets his laptop to the side and stands up, he is very tall, I knew he was taller than Phil but I didn't imagine him this tall. He sticks his hand out for me to shake and I take it gladly.

"Dan Howell" He introduces himself "But I suspect you already know that" He adds on with a cocky smirk.

"Skye Parker" I reply back and he looks me up and down, still shaking my hand. He eventually lets go and walks straight through the middle of Phil and I and out the room, leaving his laptop.

How rude is he!?

"Sorry about him" Phil apologizes for Dan "He's not been himself lately......" I just nod and take a seat on the couch.

"Guitar Hero?" He asks, holding up the game and handing me a guitar. I nod gleefully and sit my bags in the corner of the room.

Phil lets me pick one of the tunes and we start to play, he tries to show off by dropping onto his knees and bringing the guitar down. I go down onto my knees as well but I rest right back onto my back which makes me lose a few points because I can't see the screen. Phil bursts out laughing at me and quickly stands up as do I. I decide to run back and jump up onto the couch, seeing as this is my apartment now as well. I start to jump up and down and I gain a few points on a hard bit.

"I'm going to beat you Parker!" Phil shouts at me over the music, now that our scores are equal.

"Come at me Lester!" I scream back, laughing hard along with Phil. He jumps up onto the other couch, rocking out on the edge of it. He jumps onto the little mini sofa in between the two big ones and starts to jump from couch to couch chasing me. I scream, and leap onto the laminate floor, still keeping my eyes on the screen and still playing away. Phil takes a big jump to the floor and almost lands on top of me, tackling me to the ground. We roll about the floor, laughing and playing random keys.

We just lie there and laugh for about 10 minutes until we jump up to check our scores. I raise both my arms, dropping my guitar onto the floor and prancing about the room like an idiot when I see that I have won. Phil drops his guitar down beside my mine and chases me again.

"I bet you cheated Skye!" He exclaims, reaching out to grab me but I quickly get away, causing him to grab thin air and fall helplessly onto the couch.

"Nuh uh!" I reply, leaping from couch to couch. I start to dance around the room in circles and Phil puts the game away, laughing at my terrible dancing.  The door opens and I go head first into the hall as I was leaning against the door, Dan is standing there, staring at me and I swiftly walk back into the living room. He draws his eyes off of me and turns to Phil.

"Phil?"

"Dan?"

"I'm hungry" Dan says and Phil sighs, "I'll order pizza then" Phil says and walks out the room. Dan sits on the couch that im standing next to and collects his laptop that Phil previously sat on the table. I walk over to my bags and take my laptop out and log in, opening up my video and starting to edit.

"You have a youtube channel right?" I ask Dan to break the awkward silence, I already know the answer though. He just stares at me blankly and nods, turning back to his laptop, he's in that slouching position again.

"Sitting like that won't do your back any good." I Inform him, getting comfortable on the opposite couch.

"I didn't ask for your opinion" he says moodily, not taking his eyes off the screen to look at me.

"I'm just trying to help" I snap back. I can hear Phil's distant voice from the hall, talking to the pizza place, I just wish he would come in now, I can't stand to be alone with Dan for any longer.

"I didn't ask for that either" He says, this time looking up at me over the computer screen, he's looking at me with those eyes. And oh my god they are so damn hot. I shift around uncomfortably because I don't like the fact that this boy who I have only just met and is pretty horrible has this possession over me, the abilty to turn me on. Kind of. Not really.

Oh who am I kidding! He turns me on. He's still staring and when I catch myself staring back he raises an eyebrow.

"You okay over there Skye?" He asks me with a smug smile, he knows exactly what he's doing to me. And he's loving it. He smirks and stands up, I just can't bring myself to take my eyes off him. He closes the lid of his laptop and sets it to the side.

"We wouldn't want you getting all wet now would we?" He chuckles and my cheeks are on fire. He then saunters off into the kitchen, leaving me in such a state.
