Where Did I Go Wrong? //Phan//

I ended up leaving the planetarium a half hour earlier than closing time. Phil picked me up and I slipped, rather ungracefully, into the car.

Sitting down into Phil's little beaten up car was a struggle height wise. My head hit the side almost every time. I groaned buckling the seat belt and rubbing my head. "How do you do it?" I asked.

"Do what?" Phil replied. Reaching to turn on the radio.

"Get in this bloody car without bashing your head in." I said still rubbing the slow forming lump on my scalp.

Phil shrugged, "Years of experience I guess." He shrugged, humming along to Citizens Erased. I began to softly sing not loud enough for anyone to make out the words but a soft slur. Phil looked over to me with a bright smile. "You know Muse?"

I rolled my eyes "Of course I know Muse, who do you think I am?" I scoffed placing a hand on my chest with a faux expression of disbelief. I muffled a giggle in the sleeve of my jumper as Phil began to roll the windows down shouting the lyrics as we turned the corner to his street.

By the time we pulled into his driveway he was smiling ear to ear. I tried to contain my laughter failing miserably. "You're cute." He mumbled under his breath as he got out of the car to open my door politely.

"Sorry, what'd you say?" I asked, even though I had heard him clearly before.

"Hm? I didn't say anything." He shut my car door and lead the way inside. Without a further word.
