A/N I just wanted to introduce myself before I started, my name is Aine hi hello how are you :) so I'm going to take over this book for Reilly! She is too busy to write. I hope that's okay with you :)
Delilah's POV
I glanced at the bottom corner of my MacBook to check the time. Oops. It was 3pm and I was still in my pyjamas scrolling through tumblr, way to make a first impression Delilah! After reblogging one last gif... Okay maybe 15, I crawled out of bed, shoved my phone in my pocket and strolled into the living room to find Dan in his 'browsing position', double chins and all. He looked up at me and hurriedly pushed himself up into a respectable sitting position, followed by an awkward smile.
"H-hey Delilah, I was just you know, um, getting some work done, yeah, work..." he stuttered, blushing sweetly. I raised an eyebrow at him, as if I knew better, and peered round at the screen. Dan's interpretation of 'work' was reading a Wikipedia article about a man who could balance 78 spoons on his face.
"Oh okay sorry, didn't mean to disturb your work," I giggled.
"It's really interesting! I can barely manage one spoon on my face!"
"I know," I agreed, thinking back to an old younow show where somebody asked him to try and balance as many spoons as he could on his face and they all fell off every time. Wait, did I just say 'I know'? Shit.
"You know? How do you know?" Dan questioned.
"Um... The shape of your nose it's um, not designed to, um..."
"Delilah, do you...?" there was a smile tugging at the corner of his mouth.
"D-do I what?" I asked as innocently as I possibly could
"Do you know what I do for a living?"
"Nope, no idea," I bit my lip nervously.
"And do you know what Phil does for a living?"
"O-of course not!"
"Really?"
"Maybe."
Dan shot me a suspicious look and took a long gulp of coffee without breaking eye contact. "Okay," he chuckled, averting his eyes back to his computer. "Are you sure?"
I sighed. "Look, you know, and I know, so please don't make me say it out loud," I begged. A mischievous grin broke out across Dan's face.
"Phil?" he called.
"Yeah?"
"Set up your camera."
"Why?"
"Just do it."
Dan turned back to face me. "I'm going to go get ready, maybe you would like to as well?" he hinted. A Cheshire cat smile pulled on my lips and I had to allow myself a bit of fangirling. I was going to be in an amazingphil video! I leapt off the sofa and started jumping up and down and clapping with excitement.
"Sorry," I panted. "Is it okay if I jump in the shower?" Dan nodded, looking slightly worried at my fangirling outbreak. Oh well, they were going to have to get used to it.
When I was in the shower, I thought about how surreal this all was. I was showing in DAN AND PHIL'S apartment! No wait, I was showering at Dan, Phil and Delilah's apartment! I was getting ready to be in a YouTube video with Danisnotonfire and Amazingphil! And most of all, Phil Lester was my legal guardian! How was this all possible? What did I do to deserve this? Dan and Phil are my heroes, they saved me countless times and now, wow, I was giving my self a headache.
Once I was finished in the shower I dried myself with a towel and tied a fluffy dressing gown around my body before heading back into my room, which was actually hidden on the top floor beside the office so I never noticed it before it videos. I blasted a hair dryer through my hazelnut-brown hair and then carefully straightening it out of its natural frizzy mess. Before getting dressed I slapped on my make-up, which today, consisted of my basic face make up, a light blush, matte brown eyeshadow blended with a lighter shade closer to the lid, thick winged eyeliner and a nude/pink lipstick.
For my outfit I chose a very zoella inspired red jumper with a white collar, black leggings, black boots and to finish, a gold chain necklace with a fawn charm. "Are you ready Delilah?" Phil shouted.
"Yep!" I called back, bursting out of my bedroom and sprinting down the stairs. I was excited, and goddamn ready for this. I awkwardly tapped on Phil's bedroom door before pushing it open. "Hi." I greeted them nervously, suddenly embarrassed to see them looking so professional with their lights and sound equipment and camera. Dan and Phil looked so comfortable in front of it, I felt slightly out of place.
"Hey! You look lovely," Phil told me with a smile, patting the bed for me to sit down.
"Thank you! So do you two, fringes on point," I complemented honestly, feeling a bit more confident. Dan chuckled and moved over to make room for me to sit. Oh God. This was really happening.
Phil could feel me shaking and gave my hand a quick squeeze. "You do great, I promise."
