Miss You

Dan and Phil

I wake up to the sound of someone knocking on the door. I rub my eyes and walk to the source of the noise. I look at myself to make sure I hadn't somehow taken my top off in my sleep, seeing I was still fully clothed I open the door. Dan is standing there when he notices me he flashes a grin. Yep, still pretty hot. "Hey, Dan! What time is it?"

"It's about noon, did you just wake up?"

"Let's just say your knocking is really loud."

"Well, I just got up, got somewhat decent, and came over to see if you were up. Phil's peachy though."

"Well good for him. I guess I can put clothes on now, I'll come to your door this time." He nods and I close the door back. I walk back to my bedroom and put on a grey striped t-shirt and a pair of black skinny jeans. I brush my hair, and then flat iron it. I fix my fringe and makeup, then go back into my bedroom. I pull a basic hoodie out of my wardrobe, and walk into my lounge area. I look around at the mess and decide to clean it later. I walk out the door, grabbing my keys on the way out. I stop at my neighbors door and knock. Phil opens the door and invites me in. I walk in and look around, observing my surroundings. I notice their apartment looks a lot like mine. I see Dan sitting on the couch on his laptop. He looks up at me and smiles again.

"Are you done already? It's only been about 45 minutes. Normally girls take hours to get ready." He stands up and walks over to me. "Are we ready to go Phil?"

"Yeah, let me grab my stuff real quick." He yells from the other room. He comes back out a minute later, and we all leave the flat. We walk down to the lobby, talking about where we should eat. Dan suggests a place he knew, I agree since I don't know much about London yet. I follow Dan and Phil to the tube, we catch one of the trains to the outer areas of the city. We get off and walk about a kilometer from the station. The restaurant is nestled in a small shopping center. The hostess smiles at us as she escorts us to a table across the room. We sit and tell the woman what we want to drink and she glides away. She was unnaturally graceful. Dan looks over at me.

"So, how long have you lived next door to us? I haven't seen you before, and I'm pretty sure I've seen everyone in the building already." He asks.

"I just moved in yesterday morning, actually. I was born in Russia, but I moved to Sheffield in primary school. Then London just yesterday." I reply.

"Sheffield? That's where my sister lives! Maybe you know her." Phil looks excited.

"Who, Skye? Yeah, I was talking to her just last nite, I didn't know you were Skyes brother. Apparently I've even met you before. When I don't know, but I did."

"Yeah, now that I think about it, your name does ring a bell. You're her best friend aren't you?"

"That would be me."

"That is so cool, us knowing each other without actually knowing we knew each other."

"Mind is blown Phil, mind is blown."

"And then there's Dan being the awkward loner with no friends. Or sister's friends. Or anything." Dan says.

"Dan, you have friends he's sitting across the table from you." I say.

"Oh, Phil, you are my friend? That's so sweet, why didn't you tell me? I would have returned the favor." Dan jokes.

"Dan, we've lived together for a couple years now, you used to fangirl over me. You know I'm your friend." Right then the lady came back out with our drinks, and takes our order. She then saunters off again, and Dan continues the conversation.

"Phil, you can't just brag about you being fangirled over." Dan sasses back.

"Dan, you can't just ask people why they're white." Phil mocks Mean Girls.

"Phil, you can't just quote movies to make an arguement." Dan retorts

"Boys, you can't just argue when you're out with a friend." I remark.

"Aly, you can't just jump into a conversation." Dan says

"Dan, you can't just be rude to your neighbor, she does need to be in good terms with you." Phil points out.

"Phil..." Dan whines. "I am trying to make a decent impression. But you wanted to argue."

"You started it with the 'I have no friends' comment." I say. Dan pouts a little and Phil laughs at Dan's pouty face. We continue making jokes until our food arrives. We eat still making jokes throughout. We finish, pay our ticket, and leave. We walk around the shopping center for a while, Dan offers me to help them film a video sometime. I agree, seeing as though it couldn't hurt. We head back to the flat, and Dan invites me over to go ahead and film.  He walks me into his bedroom and sets up his camera on his desk.

"Okay, so we're playing a game, I was going to do this with Phil, but you would be so much more fun." He chuckles. "Oh god that sounds wrong. Just go stand over there until I gesture towards you. Then walk onto frame and sit next to me, okay?"

"Okay, so is over here good?" I ask standing about 2 meters away.

"Yes, now be quiet until you're on camera." He turns on his camera. "Hey guys, so today, we have a challenge video. But, Phil is not my special guest today. This is Aly, my new neighbor." I sit down next to him and wave at the camera. "She has no idea what's about to happen. So, Aly, how do you feel about stuff being put in your mouth against your will?" He pauses. "That was even worse than the one before. But, we are doing the what's in my mouth challenge. Yay. I have a few items that I went out and bought for this video, but you can get things from around either ours or yours apartments. I will wait." He pauses the video, and I run off to find things to do this video with. Nothing too bad though. I sit back down and he resumes the video. "So, rules. I will go first, because it's my video. You will be blindfolded, and I will place an object in your mouth. You will then try to guess what the object is. After I finish with my 3 things, you will do the same with me. Clear?"

"Yeah, but who came up with this idea? It sounds so sexual, even if you aren't trying to be."

"Blindfold time." He says producing a scarf, tieing it around my face making sure I can't see. We film the video, me correctly guessing all three, Dan only got one. I do a victory dance. "So, this is the end of the video, normally I do the sexy end screen dance, but do you want to do it with me?"

"Sure, why the h*ll not." I agree. He teaches me the ways of the hip thrusting. We record it. After he finishes the video, he tells me he needs to edit it, but it should be up in a day or two. I walk back through the lounge on my way out, Phil stops me.

"Hey, Aly, can I talk to you for a second?"

"Yeah sure Phil what is it?"

"Well, I wanted to tell you how awesome it was having you out with us for lunch. Maybe we could hang out again sometime? Maybe just me and you?"

"Yeah, that'd be awesome."

"But, before you leave, I wanted to ask you..."

"What is it Phil?" He didn't say anything, he just pressed his lips to mine. I pull away, shocked at his suddenness. "F*ck Oli would kill me if he found out." I mutter under my breath.

"What did you say?"

"I got to go Phil." I say and walk out before he could say anything more. "But what about Oli? Should I tell him, or just let it go? I'm a f*cking wreck." I sigh after basically scolding myself. I pull my mobile out and phone Skye. I explain to her everything that happened, she opens a three way call with Oli. We both explain to Oli what happened and he understands that I couldn't help what happened. Skye hangs up and I talk to Oli for a little longer before falling asleep. I dream about him and I being able to be together still, and Phil and Dan were just friends still. It was nice.

So new chapter, I'm trying not to make London a major part of this book, but it kinda becomes a major part anyway. So Phil did that. Oh and incase you don't know who Dan and Phil are check out their Youtube channels, they're on the last chapter. Pretty awesome guys, and they will play a bigger role later on in the story too. So I'm Brittney and this is my colourless life.
