Our Galaxy

Meeting Him

Livvy's POV 💩
I wake up from giggling from the lounge. Ugh..... Cori and Dan are at it again. I get up from my comfortable bed - well more of rolled out of bed - and walk out to the kitchen. I'm fine with Cori being with Dan... You know, with the lovey romantic crap. I feel invisible but I like it, so I don't have to talk to anyone. I make myself a cup of coffee and start to walk back to my room.
"Liv?"
Ugh, why now?
"Yeah?" I respond to Cori as I walk into the lounge. I see Cori and Dan sitting together on the couch doing who knows what.
"You haven't been outside for less than a month, are you ok?" I remember... It's been less than a month when my dad died...
"Yeah I'm fine." giving her a big (fake) smile.
"I'm actually going to go out to get some stuff later." I say pretending to be happy like I was before he died...
"Good" she smiled at me.
I return to my room and place my mug on my desk and literally flopped on my chair. I sank into my chair and turned my laptop on.

After an hour of nonstop imagination and writing, I saved my work and turned it off. I look into my mug to find no more coffee. I got up and walked to the bathroom.

I took a shower and put on some new clothes on, black button up and grey skinny jeans. I put on my black converse and tie the laces up. I look at the time, 12:16. I get up, grab my bag and keys and walk outside.

The sun burns my eyes and I take several deep breaths of fresh air. Geez it's been so long. I swing my bag onto my back and start walking to find something to do.

After an hour of walking around and aching legs I walk into a store that didn't really catch my interest, but I walked in anyway. My phone buzzed in my pocket, Cori sent me a list on what to buy and she said she put spare money in my back incase. Geez she is like a mom. Luckily I walked into the right store.

I started to gather the things on the list and added things I needed - well... Wanted -. I went and payed for the things and walked out.

Christ... These are heavy. I checked the time and it was 1:56. I started walking back to our flat. I stopped quarter of the way and dropped the bags on a bench to have a rest.

I picked the bags back up but they're heavier than before somehow.

"Need help there?" I hear a voice behind me.
I turn around to see who it was. He had an unfamiliar face, black hair, blue eyes. Sorta handsome.
"Handsome?" He asks.
"Crap... Did I say that out loud?" I quietly yell.
"Yeah, you did." He chuckled
"Sorry" I blushed.
"It's ok." He smiled, Jesus that smile.
There was a second or two silence and he offered me to help.

We were half way to our flat and I've learned a lot about Phil. I found out he has a room mate and isn't really that strong. I started carrying one bag a while back because they were heavy.

We got the the flat and I opened the door and let Phil in.

"Where do I put these?" He asks.
"Just on the kitchen table." I respond.
I shut the door and walk to the kitchen seeing Phil looking around.
"I think I've been here before...." He says while looking around confused.
"You have?"
"Yeah."
There was a silence until Phil did something completely random.

"HEY DAN!" He yelled so loud.
"PHIL?" I hear Dan yell back.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?" He added.
"I WAS JUST-"
"Ok enough with the yelling" I interrupt him and I take him to the living room where Dan is.
"Continue." I say then I leave the room.

Phil's POV 🗿
I watch Livvy leave the room and I look back at Dan.
"Is that Cori's room mate that she mentioned when she met me?" I ask pointing behind me estimating where Livvy was.
"Yep." He reply popping the p.
"Well then....."
"What are you doing here anyway?"
"I was helping Livvy out with her stuff."
"Ok then....."
It grew silent until Cori came in the room.
"Oh, Phil?" She stands next to me confused.
"What are you doing here?"
"I was helping Livvy with her stuff." I reply.
"Ok then."
"WHO KNEW THIS MAN WAS STRONG" Livvy yelled from her room.

After an hour or so of talking to Cori and Dan and awkward silence - also attempt on talking to Liv when she walks past us - I decide to tell Dan I'm heading home.

"Hey Dan?" I look at Dan
"Yeah?"
"I think I should be heading home now." I stand up.
"Ok. Is it ok if I stay here for the night?"
"Oh god." Livvy interrupts. I turn around to see Liv with an empty mug.
"How long have you been there?" I ask.
"Hey Livvy?" Cori interrupts
"Why don't you spend the night with Phil?" She suggests
"Yeah, that'll be great." Dan adds.
"Ohhhhh, that's fantastic." Livvy throws her arms up and walking to her room.

"Well then.. I'll be going." I say after an awkward silence.
"What about Livvy?" Dan asks.
"She said she didn't want to come."
"She didn't necessarily say "no" did she?"
"So she's coming?"
"ASLONG I DONT HAVE TO HEAR DAN AND CORI JUMPING UP AND DOWN ON THE BED!" Livvy yells.
"WE'RE NOT DOING THAT" dan responds.
