US Branch- The Bus

After we got to Florida we near-immediately went to Gatorland. It was really fun seeing actual gators in Florida. Then of course the only thing any of us will remember from Gatorland is Dan’s ridiculous hat. And definitely not when a gator snapped up at us and I literally leapt into Dan’s arms. I’m not scared of gators, I swear, this one just had a mean face.

Now it was time to see our tour bus. They decided to film Dan and Phil’s reaction to the bus. I giggled at just the sight of the two tall boys looking quite small next to the giant bus. We decided to do a bus tour after looking around the bus ourselves. Dan and Phil decided to make it all super “fly”. I tried not to giggle from where I was behind the camera. They first showed the lounge area and how it extends. Then they showed the “kitchen” area. Then of course Dan had to take a minute after hearing that the bus had been Kanye West’s. Me and Phil had decided to keep that a secret until the cameras were on. Then the “bedrooms” were next. Literally just bunks on the side of the hall to the master bedroom. And the shower. “Welcome to the shower. It’s got a slightly see through shower curtain, because who cares if all your coworkers and friends can see your butt,” Phil said and with the camera guy focused on Phil Dan was able to send a wink my way. I pressed my lips together and tried really hard to repress my blush.

“And now are you ready for the best thing on the bus? Welcome to the master bedroom!” Dan said as he entered the room Phil was already in. “AKA my room!” Phil said. Dan and Phil then bickered about who’s room it should be. “Just throwing it out there, but I’m also touring on this bus as well. And I’m a girl,” I tried to persuade. “No. No. No. Don’t pull that shit, Eliza. You’re small enough for the bunks,” Dan said. “Such a gentleman,” I quipped, rolling my eyes. “Then just rock paper scissors for it.” Dan and Phil looked at each other. “Ultimate Rock Paper Scissor off!” I chuckled, I swear they could read each other's minds sometimes. Phil ended up winning. That night he would regret it.

‘Im bored n lonely’ Phil had sent a group text to Dan and I. ‘its not like we r able cuddle in these bunks’ Dan responded. ‘Ya but u can see each other’ Phil complained. Dan and I both peeked out at the same time and grinned at each other. Dan was on the top bunk on one side and I was on the middle bunk on the other side, so as always I was looking up at him. Dan glanced towards the driver. He didn’t actually have a mirror that he could see in the bus with. Dan crept out of his bunk, super careful not to make a noise, hard to do when on the top bunk and crouched down to level with me. He stuck his head into the bunk and lightly kissed my lips. I parted only to scoot all the way to the wall and pat the spot beside me. Dan squeezed himself in and was actually able to fit, but only when he pushed right up against me leaving virtually no space between us. ‘Guys?’ Phil asked. ‘srry we actually found a way 2 cuddle’ Dan sent from my phone, he had left his on his bed. ‘No fair!’ Phil sent. Dan looked as if he were texting back but the smirk on his face said otherwise. “Dan? What are you doing?” Dan was repressing his laughter, “Definitely not looking through your selfies… Are you wearing a bikini in this one?” I snatched my phone away, “You rude rude man-child!” Dan chuckled as quietly as possible before attaching his lips to mine. It started innocent but soon got quite heated as Dan basically crushed me with his body. We broke apart, both breathing heavily. “You know Eliza, you aren’t allowed to wear a bikini.” I raised an eyebrow, I thought Dan would be all for less clothing. “Phil and I are the only ones allowed to see that much of you.” I smiled into it as Dan began to kiss me again. I wiggled away when one of his hands roamed to my butt. “Okay these things are fine for cuddling but not for sex.” Dan sighed, “Yeah, besides it wouldn’t be right to do it without Phil again.” I nodded and snuggled into the crook of Dan’s arm as I yawned. I was too tired to do anything anyways. Dan pressed his lips to my temple but was pulled away as the bus hit a bump. Being partially out of the bunk already, Dan fell onto the floor. “Ow!” he groaned. Phil swung the door open, “Oh my gosh! Dan! Are you okay?” Phil worried, crouching down beside Dan who just “ugh”d. When Dan was sure he was okay I finally let my giggles escape me. “So mean,” Dan joked. Phil laughed and helped Dan up. No more cuddling on the bus.

Showering on the bus was quite the ordeal. You literally had to walk in in your towel, then try and hang up your towel outside the shower without being able to see. You shower, then you have to find your towel all over again, dry off and wrap yourself in your towel to retrieve your clothes and then go into the bathroom, or master bedroom if no one is in there, to get dressed. Of course Dan decided that this was the perfect recipe for a simple prank. Everything was going smoothly until I got to retrieving my clothes. And my suitcase was missing. I checked everywhere, even wandering into the master bedroom to look for it. Phil blinked at me from where he sat on the bed with his computer. “Phil, where’s Dan?” I asked. Before he could answer a knock came from outside the bus. We looked through the window and down to Dan who was holding my suitcase in a teasing manner. I ran to the bus door and opened it, completely forgetting that we were in a parking lot and I was in nothing but a towel, and chased Dan around the bus, “Daniel James Howell! Get back here now!” Dan laughed as he hopped in the bus and closed the doors before I could get in as well. “Dan! Damnit! Open this door now!” I then spent about ten minutes outside the bus while Dan and Phil apparently wrestled with Dan trying to keep Phil from opening the door. Phil eventually won by using lick on Dan’s neck, super effective and paralysing. I got Dan back the next time he showered by locking it shut. Phil and I waited about half an hour after cutting the water to let out a very annoyed Dan.
