Phan- Not what we Planned

"I'm really happy for you, Phil!" I said with some sarcasm, which I didn't mean for Phil to hear.

He'd gotten himself a fangirl which he seemed to really like having around, and had just explained to me how they were really happy and are in a serious relationship now and loads of other things I didn't particularly want to listen to.

" Dan, please just tell me whats wrong?!" He grabbed my shoulder and shook it slightly. My eyes shot to where his skin was touching. mine.

I couldn't help feeling this way towards him, I just did. I think it's because to start off with I was so convinced he felt like that towards me that every smile and wink and hug and touch was just more and more evidence, and i began to fall for him.

" Nothings wrong Phil! I really am happy for you! It's great that you're happy!" Phil looked at me suspiciously. I hadn't covered up my sarcasm very well again, but this time he just ignored it.

"Ok. Well me and Illy are going out tomorrow, she wondered if you wanted to come along? She hasn't met you yet and she wanted to-"

I guessed it couldn't do much harm, I tended to see the best in everyone so I probably wouldnt dislike her as much as i wanted to.

"Yea, sure." I tried not to make a fuss, otherwise Phil would avoid me for the rest of the evening. He does that if i seem stressed, i guess it's because he doesn't want to start an argument, bless him.

"Great! I'll call Illy and tell her! She will be so happy you're going!" Phil bounced off to get his phone. Although I didn't want Phil to have a girlfriend, and i was, to be honest, jealous that he had one and i didn't, I was worried that this girl was just using innocent and naive Phil as a way to get to me. If she was, then it wouldn't be love she'd be getting from me.

In the morning, Phil was very excited about taking me to meet this girl. He had gone to bed relatively early last night, which meant we didn't get to watch a film and eat popcorn together like we usually did every Friday night. He was prancing around the flat pretending to be a Robot Unicorn humming Always by Erasure, and stopping at every mirror he dashed past to flick at his hair or ruffle about with his shirt. He looked really good, this girl was damn lucky.

"Are you ready? Because I'm literally walking out of the door right now!" He yelled into my room as i pulled on my shoes.

"Yes! I'm coming! F'Gods sake Phil!"

When i emerged from my room Phil looked me up and down and beamed

"Wow look who brushed up well! Hey! I don't want you stealing my girl!" he pointed a finger before wrapping his arms around me, pulling me into a tight hug.

"Thanks Dan,"

"For what?" I chuckled, he was so soft, he did this all the time for no reason. As he pulled away, he left his hands resting on my hips, he'd never done that before.

"Everything, just for being the most amazing person i know" he looked softly into my eyes silently for an awkward few minutes, then broke the tension with his cute little giggle and apologised before finally removing his hands from my waist.

We arrived in town about half an hour later. As we stepped out of the tube station, i saw Phils face instantly glow up, like a little child when they see the presants on Christmas day.

"Illy! Hey! You look amazing!" He reached out and embraced the small woman and turned to another next to her.

" Phil honey, this is Juliet!" The girls voice was small but bubbly, she had long black hair and large, dark eyes. Unfortunately I couldn't pick any faults with her yet.
