Vita et Mors - Danisnotonfire and AmazingPhil Fanfiction

Chapter 51

A/N: sooo... I got strangled by a boa constrictor today! Yeah... I took Isla (child I look after) to the animal man, and he crept up behind me, and put the boa constrictor around my neck - to amuse Isla, I suppose. I was surprised, so I tried to shake it off, obviously. That annoyed it and it strangled me, so the animal man (I don't know his name) had to prise it off me. It hurt. Meh. The motto: don't let people with big, scary snakes creep up on you.

(Gemma's POV)

I'd travelled to London with my siblings to meet up with Dan and Phil at their apartment. Sophie was also going to ask Phil if he wants to move in, so he wouldn't be lonely and it'd be fun, and they were dating anyway. I hadn't listened to the rest of the desperate reasons Sophie had given when practicing in front of her mirror, and to me.

"We are HERE!" I declared, hopping out of the car and giving the road next to us (Oxford Street) a withering look. I still clearly remembered having to drive down there at 100mph.

We ran up the stairs and knocked on Dan and Phil's front door. It took twenty-one seconds to open. "Hey, come in," Dan said, stepping back and letting us all in. He took me by surprise by kissing my hand as I passed, making me jump. That made him smirk, causing me to glare but then giggle. That meant everyone turned around and eyed us suspiciously.

"Um, nothing," I smiled innocently. Luke, Jason, Ethan and David gave Dan evil eyes (they probably guessed he did something) before just following Sophie into the kitchen, having made themselves at home. We trailed behind, talking.

"So, where do you actually live?" Dan asked. I gave him 'that' look. "Oh, right, you can't say. Fair enough." I grinned at his understanding.

"It's huge, you'll get lost in there," I laughed. "I bet you will in the first three days."

"How much?" Dan challenged.

"Three grand?" I smirked. Dan rolled his eyes.

"Nope."

I peeked around the corner to the kitchen to see Sophie and Phil standing there, Sophie looking nervous, Phil concerned. Sophie was also shuffling her feet and playing with her fingers, clearly extremely nervous and trying to lengthen the time wait. I wasn't quite sure why she was so nervous, but I did get it all the same.

"Um, well," Sophie stuttered, making Phil frown slightly.

"Sophie, what's wrong? No ones hurt you, have they?" Phil asked. Aww, sweet.

"No, I was just wondering if, you know, um, you wanted to, well, IwonderedifyouwantedtomoveinaswellasDanyoudon'thavetoobviouslyI'msorryforasking," Sophie babbled. I struggled to catch that, I wasn't sure about Phil!

"Is that it?" Phil smiled. Apparently, he had heard. "Sure, if you don't mind." Sophie physically relaxed and sighed happily.

"Thanks," she said, hugging him. Phil hugged her back before she looked up and caught sight of me. "GEMMA! What do you think you're doing?"

I fled, giggling. I could tell she wasn't angry in any way, so I was good. Hopefully no revenge.

"Hehe," I was still laughing as I flopped down on the couch in between Dan and Jason. I had told them I was going to spy on Sophie and Phil and give a report.

"What happened?" Ethan asked immediately, eyeing me suspiciously. They were all giving me varying looks of 'What did you do, and why are you laughing?'

"Hey, I didn't do anything!" I complained. No response. "Well, obviously he agreed, and Sophie was so nervous it was funny. She's just like worried she's going to loose the love of her life, who she's been PINING for in every spare moment -"
