PHANtastic Holiday (A Christmas Special)

Dinner

Dan's POV:

"She's late."

"I know," said Phil "let's just wait a little bit longer."

I didn't want to wait for Laney. But I knew this meant a lot to Phil. He hates holding grudges. Which is one of the reasons I love him so much.

"Phil hi I'm sorry I'm late." Laney took off her jacket and sat down in the seat across from us. "Hey Dan.."

"Hi." I couldn't even look at her. After a minute Phil broke the awkward silence.

"So where's your boyfriend?"

"Oh Jeremy got called into work actually which is why I was late. I was waiting for him."

"Yeah I'm sure that's what happened." I looked at Laney. I could feel Phil nudge my leg with his as if to say stop it Dan.

"Dan. I think I should apologize. To tbe both of you. I was not in a good place when I went over to your house. I rather not talk about it. But I am sorry about everything." She smiled apologetically. Then I could feel Phil nudge my leg underneath the table again.

"It's fine I guess.." I said knowing that's what Phil wanted to hear.

We sat talking for a while and after eating we all went outside.

"Well I'm parked over this way" Laney said pointing to the opposite of where Phil and I were parked.

As she walked away Phil spoke up.
"Wait. Uh Laney. Would you like to come over for Christmas Eve? We are having a party."

"Oh. Yeah that sounds great.. If it's not a problem." She said looking over at me.

They both looked over at me.

"It's no problem." I said. Not too fond of the idea.

"Great well I'll be there! Bye!" She walked away.

Phil and I got in the car. It was silent for a while.

"Dan.. Are you okay?"

"Fine." I replied. Even though I wasn't. I was angry that I had to spend my Christmas Eve with Laney. She was the last person I wanted there.

"Dan what's wrong?" Phil could easily detect I was lying.

"It's just. I don't trust her. And she made you angry with me. I love you Phil but I just wish you wouldn't have invited her to the party."

After a few moments Phil spoke up.

"Dan I love you too. And I don't exactly trust her one hundred percent. But I trust you."

Phil reached over and took the hand I wasn't driving with. He looked at me with his beautiful eyes. I had to look away so I didn't crash the car. I get so lost in his eyes. I would have to accept the fact that I will not only be spending Christmas with Phil.. But with Laney too.
