*DAN'S POV*

after breakfast i had a shower, i really am enjoying this whole shower thing. it lasted a good 10 minutes.
when i got out of the shower with the towel wrapped around my waste Phil walked past heading in to have his shower, Phil stopped for a moment, eyed me up and down, smiled directly at me cheekily and then walked into the bathroom to have his shower.
i walked down the hall to the bedroom where there were some clothes laying on the bed like Phil told me there would be.
i picked them up to look at what i had one by one.
there was a black t-shirt with a white circle on it, it didn't quite seem like something Phil would wear. there was also a grey zip up hoodie which was quite thin especially for winter day like this.
next was a pair of black skinny jeans, black converse high tops and a burgundy coloured scarf.
good winter clothes especially compared to the same raggedy cold clothes i have been wearing for the past two years...
i got changed in these comfortable clean clothes and headed back down the hall way to wait in the living room for Phil.
i was stopped in my tracks by the bathroom door as i heard a loud whaling coming from the shower. it was Phil singing. i stood by the door for atleast a minute listening to this adorable boy singing his heart out probably thinking i cant hear him.
"IVE GOT A BLANK SPACE BAAAAABYYYYYYYY" Phil sang at the top of his lungs, "AND ILL WRITE YOUR NAME!!"
i tried so hard not to laugh but i was enjoying listening to his voice, not so much his music taste but this was rather entertaining and it kinda made me love him even more for his silliness.
i heard the shower switch off and that was my queue to walk away to my original destination, the living room.
about 5 minutes later i watched Phil walk down the stairs, it was kind of like in a movie when the prince watched the princess walk down the stairs looking fabulous.
Phil was wearing a blue/ purple tie-dye shirt and some black skinny jeans like mine, he also had a grey cardigan on and black combat boots.
"shall we go now?" he asked smiling at my eyes which were wide open very clearing staring at him
"um yeah," i slowly got up nervous about how this meet up would go.
"it'll be fine... Zoella is a nice person" Phil tried to assure me.
i just nodded and followed him out the door, i couldn't stop thinking about how today would go. I'm not a likeable person, i am very awkward and sometimes rude without realising it.
i was so freaking nervous and i think Phil could tell because that moment he latched his hand onto mine.
my head quickly shot up to him, Phil had this sort of kind hearted look on his face. he didn't have to speak but he was saying "everything will be fine, I'm here."

after a 20 minute train trip and listening to Phil talk because i was still very shy toward him, we walked up the footpath of a very suburban home. surrounding th path was a lovely garden with many flowers and ornaments.
in front of the door was a mat that said "home sweet home"
Phil put his arm around my waist pulling me closer to him as he rung the door bell, within seconds a tall gorgeous woman opened the door with a massive smile planted on her bright red lips. her eyes stood out due to her perfect eye makeup with wings on point.
her hair was done in a messy braid but in a way it looked neat and draped down the left side of her chest.
she was wearing black leggings. black boots with gold studs, a black and white polka-dot sweater and a black scarf kind of like mine.
"hey there Phil!" she created him brightly, "is this your friend?" she asked as she noticed his arm around my waste.
Phil just grinned back at her, they were both such cheerful people. "boyfriend." he corrected her, "this is Dan," he rubbed my waste comforting me, of course i shyly just pulled a half smile.
"nice to meet you Dan, I'm Zoe, or Zoella as I'm mostly called." she nodded her head at me, not judging the fact we were gay so she obviously already knew about Phil's sexuality. nor did she judge my shyness. she was nice.
"gee its called out here, come inside by the fire!" Zoella invited us, we followed her through her very fancy and modern home into her living room where a very nice fire was going. next to the ire was a  very small white christmas tree with blue and silver tinsel and gold ball-balls.
"please. sit down." she gestured towards her black leather couch which had zebra striped cushions.
i just waited for Phil to do so before i did.
"would you like some tea?" Zoella asked.
"oh yes please!" Phil nodded, i just once again did my own awkward thing and shook my head but smiled to be polite.
Zoella nodded and left the room.
"why so quiet for?" Phil asked looked at me sweetly. i shrugged my shoulders.
"you're not even talking to me? I'm your boyfriend Dan," Phil chuckled.
i shivered at the sound of 'boyfriend' Phil was my first ever boyfriend.
"are you cold?" he wrapped his arms around my shoulders but i just pushed him off gently.
"no its fine."
Phil's arms just left me and he just looked at me confused. "Are you okay,"
I looked at the fire. Then back to him. "I'm just not used to all this comfort and... Friendly people... I guess,"
Again phil smiled, "oh that's okay. I'm here."
"I know" I blushed at the thought of how just him saying 'I'm here' could comfort me in a split second.
"You smile a lot," I stated.
"Yeah I do dont I? I just find a lot of reasons to smile." He chuckled. He did that a lot too.
"Like what?" I asked raising an eyebrow.
Phil leaned in close, "like you for one," he pecked my nose and went back to his original position.
My mind went crazy, I was blushing like mad and the butterflies in my stomach were going bonkers I swear!
I didn't say anything else and soon enough Zoella entered the room with a plate with holding two cups of tea.
Both mugs were the same petite shape but different patterns. One was a plush pink with a grey kitten on it. The other was a sort of pastel purple with a quote on it saying, "I'm cooler on the Internet." Basic. I'm sorry.
I laughed in my head at my own joke.
"Here you go Phil," she handed him the purple one
"Thanks," he responded politely.
Zoella sat down on a recliner opposite to us which matched the couch we were on.
"Dan just give me a shout if you want a cup of tea... Or a whisper or something," she giggled sweetly.
It wasn't that funny though. I'm shy that's all.
I just nodded.
"So how long have you two been together for?" She asked bringing her hand to her chin cheekily.
"Uhh..." He laughed slightly, "this morning..."
Zoella smiled, "oh that's cute! Where did you meet?" Zoella tilted her head.
I looked at Phil nervously.
"I got you a Chrissy present!" PHIL turned to his jake the dog back pack. How dorky. How cute.
He pulled out a messily wrapped present and handed it to her.
"Oh that's sweet of you!" She clapped her hands like a 5 year old about to get icecream.
She pulled it over and opened it up to find a apricot scented candle, she gave it a big whiff. "Oh it smells lovely thank you Phil!" She grinned EXTREMLY wide this time. Then she got up and walked to her fire place and on the mantel was a pile of christmas presents all rapped up. She searched through them rapidly!
"AHA!" She said in accomplishment, "here is yours," she handed Phil a present.
"Dan if i knew you sooner I would have gotten you something because you seem like a nice person!" She assumed, I don't know why though I hadn't said a word to her yet.
Phil unwrapped the present to find a money box shaped as a small adorable lion.
"How did you know I liked lions?!" Phil shouted in excitement. Total happiness filled his face.
"Aha who doesn't know you like lions?" She giggled.
"But hey don't avoid the question, how did you two meet? Why so secretive? What did you meet at a strip club or something?"

Phils eyes darted around the room probably thinking of a lie.
"He found me on the streets," I finally spoke, and it was the truth.
Phil was shocked.
"What like love at first site while walking through London?" She asked confused.
"No." I stated sharply, "like I'm homeless and he found me with a bunch of bums,"
Her jaw dropped but quickly she picked it back up, "oh im sorry to hear that," she didn't make eye contact.
Was I some sort of monster now?
"I guess you could say it was love at first sight though," Phil broke the short silence.
"Well for me anyway!" He said cheekily I blushed again.
Zoella smiled. "That is so sweet!"

The day when on a bit smoother, I was a bit less silent but still very shy and awkward.

Zoella was really a nice person I hope to see her again soon.
