Last time on "Dance Studio" Dil's car battery died so he had to call Peter to pick him up and drop him off at Tommy's house. Evie and Phil got ready to leave for Tommy's house, both of them nervous about the outcome of the introductions.
Note: I've been so exhausted lately, and it has been killing my writing (typing) vibes. I have so many ideas however it's hard to get them out, due to exhaustion. I just hope this chapter does come out alright, I don't want this to be lame like the last chapter of "Stay My Baby". Next week be prepared for a chapter for "Rainy Day." I've been meaning to update that story, and I think the next update will be amazing. More action and flashbacks. Thanks again for so many reviews. This is a late update due to me being sick for the last few days. And all I did was sleep and I didn't have motivation to write anything. (Update; 10/4/2016; this is extra late / important note at the end)
Fun Fact: I actually love the Evie x Phil pairing and I might write a story about it in the future
What's happiness? Something that I will never obtain." ~ Evie Lewis
Chapter Two: Everytime We Touch
It was finally time for Phil to introduce his girlfriend to his friends, he already knew that Dil and Evie knew each due to the fact that he was her dance instructor. However, she didn't know anyone else from the gang. He was holding her hand as they walked over towards his group of friends with a small smile, his hands were kind of sweating. He just hoped that she didn't mind, she wasn't pulling away that was a good sign.
"Hey guys," Phil greeted his friends with a small wave. He releases his girlfriend's hand and moves his hand to her lower back. "I would love for all of you to meet the special girl in my life Evie," he couldn't help but smile.
This had to be the most important day of his life, his friends were meeting the girl that he has been falling in love with. He stares at his sister Lil, her reaction was the most important. He just hopes his twin will give Evie a chance. She was the most hard to please, because as she puts it she could "read people like an open book". However, Evie is heavily guarded and it might be hard for Lil to "read" or whatever.
Lil was the first person to step up to Evie, she holds out her hand towards her, "it's nice to meet you, I'm Lillian, Phil's twin sister, I heard so many things about you."
"Nice things I hope," Evie joked causing the others to laugh. She takes her hand and shakes it lightly, "it's finally nice to meet you, I heard many things about you, all good things of course." She releases her hand and stands a little closer to her boyfriend, she didn't mind his hand being on her lower back.
In Evie's opinion Lil is a very beautiful girl, with hazel eyes a little darker than her brother's. Her hair was wavy, like beach waves reaching her shoulders and was a light brown color and she had the cutest button nose. If Phil was a girl, she was sure it would be hard to tell the two apart.
"Umm," she moves her caramel hair behind her ear glancing over towards Kimi. "It's nice to meet you," she holds out her hand towards.
Kimi stares at her hand for a little and takes it gently, "it's nice to meet you too, I'm Kimi." She gives her a small smile before releasing her hand.
It was kind of awkward in Evie's opinion, imagine being in her position having to meet the childhood friends and make an amazing first impression. These are the people that he sent most of his life with, it was going to be pretty hard to earn their trust, especially after hearing all the horrible things about Phil's ex girlfriends that didn't last long. It was just too much pressure which made it awkward.
"Yeah," Evie mumbles softly, and stares at the next person that approaches her. It was a boy with ginger colored hair and the most greenest eyes she has seen. He had a huge grin as his held out his hand towards her, "you must be Chuckie right?"
The boy gives her a surprised look, "how did you know?"
Evie blushes lightly in embarrassment, she hides her face in her hands for a few seconds before regaining her confidence. "I've actually seen you before, you was a DJ for one of the dances we did in Dil's class," she answers with a smile.
"Ahhh! That's where I know you from, you're that amazing dancer," he points at her, soon holding up his hand for a high five which she happily gave him. "I can't believe I forgot someone as amazing as you, I'm happy that you're in Phil life and making him a happier person."
She blushed a bit from the compliment, she wasn't use to them. "Oh, I don't think I wasn't that amazing," she scratches the back of her head. "When I'm at a professional level then I'll believe that."
Even though she gotten many compliment she still wasn't use to them, it always felt awkward to her. She tried hard to accept them since she didn't believe that she was that good at dancing. She still had so much to learn, she had to stay humble. It would be a waste to start to get cocky and end up losing the huge competition. Plus is was thanks to Dil that she's managed to improve.
"You're so humble," Lil comments off from the side.
Phil nods and wraps his arms around her shoulder, "that's what I like about her."
It was true he loved her humble she was, it wasn't something his other girlfriends were, and he was happy for that. He honestly hate cocky attitude girls and he picked right with Evie. She was everything his ex girlfriends weren't. He slides his arm down to her waist.
"Would you like to dance with me?" he asked removing his arm backing away and holding out his hand to her.
Evie looks at his hand then slowly up at his face, a small smile tugging on her lips. She was happy with him, he made her smile all the time and that's something she never wanted to give up. She grabs his hand with confidence.
"I'd love to dance with you Philly," she walks with him into the middle of the living room and rest her hands on his shoulder, while his hands rested on her hips. "That went more smooth than I imaged."
Phil nods his hand in agreement, "Lillian seems to like you a ton, and that's really good." This meant he could introduce her to his parents and he couldn't be more excited about that. For his parents to meet the girl he was serious about is amazing.
Evie finally let out a breath of relief, she was happy that she made a wonderful first impression on Lil. She looks at her boyfriend, he was the cutest thing in the world and she was really serious about this relationship and she never been in a serious relationship before.
All her other relationships were more like flings, nothing too serious. Her partner always left before they could even get serious, she was still a pure snowflake. However, she was starting to think maybe she was ready to deflower herself with Phil, if they relationship was going in that direction.
"I'm happy that she seems to like me," she comments resting her forehead on his chest, she felt his arms tighten around her a bit and she couldn't help but smile. She felt like she was safe in his arms.
It was always at this time when her life smile perfect things started to fall apart, but that hasn't happened at the moment and she was happy for that. In the next dance class she was meeting someone she looks up to, and she has the most lovable boyfriend what could possibly go wrong.
Dil was stuffed up in the corner with his friends telling them about his horrible blinds dates. If he could he would erase all them bad memories, it was so terrible. His hands was resting on Cameron's shoulders as he told them about one of her horrible dates.
"She spilled spaghetti sauce all over her white shirt, how could you miss your mouth more than two time?" He shakes his head in disappointment. "Why can't I get a girl like Evie?"
Cameron's eyes widen in surprise, "do by any chance you like Evie, you seem to compare her to the other girls a lot." He pushes him playfully with a slight smirk.
"What...what are you talking about?" Dil asked clearly confused.
"How about this sentence? She clearly didn't have any manners, at least Evie has more manners than her, something like that?" Seth commented mocking his best pal. "Dude you have the hearts for her, and she's clearly dating Phil."
Dil shakes his head in disbelief, "you got it all wrong, I would never crush on a girl that Dil's liking, I'm simply stating I would like a girl like Evie."
"Or you're simply stating that you have a crush on Evie!" Cameron whispered yelled.
Seth nods his head in agreement, "it sucks that your brother's friend got to her first, even though you knew her first and spent the most time with her." He glances over towards his friends and pinches his cheeks. "You're even allowing Jennette to come to your class because of her-"
"That's love dude," Cameron cuts in with a huge grin. "You refused Jennette so many times than suddenly this girl comes along and Jennette is immediately invited to a class, that's freaking love Mr. Pickles, and you can't tell us any different."
Dil pushes Seth softly in the ribs to get him to release his cheeks, once he let go he rubbed his gently. "I just think she has potential to make it big nothing more, I don't love her and especially don't want to date her."
His friends were crazy if they thought he was in love with Evie, if he 'loved' her he would've noticed and would've definitely asked her out before Phil got into the picture. He needed to get away from his friends at this moment, he walks away from them as they tried to convince him that he was in love with her. If he needed to be convinced then he definitely isn't in love with her.
Dil decided to wanted something to drink, he walks into the kitchen to grab a beer. On his way into the kitchen he ran into Evie, this was just amazing. He had to run into her after his friends told him that he was in love with her.
"Congratulations on the three years," Evie comments handing him a beer, it seemed to be the only thing to drink. "Can't believe your studio had been open for that long,...oh wait that didn't sound like a compliment, I'm sorry I didn't mean it like that.." she was starting to get flustered.
He couldn't help but chuckle a bit finding her cute when she rambled, "I know what you mean, I can't believe it either seems likes dream." He happily takes the drink that she offered him.
Wait...did I just think she was cute, great what Seth and Cameron said is really getting to me, I'll have a serious conversation with them later. He opened the beer and brings the bottle to his lips taking a huge sip. He exhaled heavily when he was finished.
"I really needed that," he wipes his mouth and glances over towards Evie who was looking down at her beer. "So, are you enjoying yourself?"
She quickly glances at him with a small smile, "I am enjoying myself everyone here is really nice and I'm thankful for that." She takes a small sip, she couldn't chug it because she was light weight.
He watches her every move licking his lips, now that he thought about it she had the most kissable lips, why hasn't he notice it before? Stop having these thoughts you're letting Seth and Cameron get to you idiot, you don't love or like her in that type of way, plus she's dating Phil.
"Are you happy with Phil?," he paused, he couldn't believe he just asked her that. It came out before he could even stop it. "I...mean.."
She really didn't know how to answer that, "umm.. Yes I'm happy with Phil, he makes me really happy." She answered him without looking at him. How could she look at him after hearing that question, what's going on in his mind?
Why the hell did I just ask her that? Way to go Dil you made things awkward, how could I turn this around? "That's good, I'm happy to hear that," he takes another sip of his beer, he needed this awkward moment to go away. "I know that was a random question, I just..."
"Why did you ask it?" she finally glance over towards him. If she being honest she liked him a lot, but he never made a move on her so she simply thought he wasn't interested. So, why would he suddenly ask a weird question like that, it just didn't add up.
Before she met Phil she was hoping that he'll make a move on her, they seemed to get along fairly well and they had things in common. It was like they were the perfect couple, but he never asked her out or showed any interest instead he went on stupid blind dates and she decided to move on. Why was he suddenly asking weird questions.
He was honestly speechless, he didn't know how to answer that question. He rubs the back of his neck out of nervous habit, he finishes off the first bottle of beer quickly before getting another. He glances over towards her as she stood there waiting from him to answer her question, and both her hands gripping the beer bottle. He had to answer her, but could he be truthful.
"I had a conversation with Seth and Cameron before coming into the kitchen and it got me thinking, maybe I'm in love with you," he answers honestly taking a sip of beer to calm himself down and be more honest.
The bottle nearly dropped out of her hands but she caught it before it can. "You know I'm in a happy relationship with Phil right? Why the hell do you choose now to tell me this Dil? Do you think that appropriate?."
It damn sure isn't appropriate, but I just have to ask. "If I've would've found out sooner, would have you chosen me over Phil," he turns and walks to stand in front of her. "If I've would've ask you out before Phil came into your life would have you given me a chance?"
She stares up at him with wide eyes, this couldn't be happening right here and right now. "I would have said yes, I thought we had something and I was waiting for you to make a move but, I moved on I'm with Phil now and I'm happy, don't ruin it with your sudden confess, but now I will choose Phil over you."
"I know," he gives her a sad smile. He regrets the fact that he didn't see the signs sooner, maybe he would be in a wonderful relationship. "I mean it when I say I'm happy for you and Phil honestly and I wouldn't want to broke you guys up or anything, I'm not that kind of guy."
She nods her head in understanding, "I know Dil, and I'm happy to hear that you're happy for us-"
Her words were cut off from lips crashing down onto hers.
He pulls away and stares at her shocked expression, "but that doesn't mean I won't be waiting for a moment where I can come in and steal you heart all over again, just be prepared for that time, because it will come, until then he happy with Phil."
Dil pats her shoulders before walking back into the living room where everyone else was at having from at the party. He went right back over towards his friends as if nothing happened in the kitchen and he watches as Phil went to find his girlfriend. As of this moment him and Phil was in competition, he was going to steal Evie's heart no matter what and that was a promise.
Party Over
It was around eleven at night when Dil arrived him thanks to his trusted business partner Peter, he can finally go to sleep and not worry about having dance class tomorrow since he rescheduled because he was kind of drunk and it was unprofessional to arrive to work with a hangover. The entire time he was walking to his door he mind couldn't stop thinking about Evie, he was definitely into her. Maybe he was in love with her, but he was surely falling in love with her.
After the whole thing with him kissing her, she had been avoiding him the whole rest of the night but he didn't mind. He was just happy enough to have gotten a kiss at all, just looking at her lips he couldn't help himself. He shuts the door behind himself and locks it before throwing his keys in the key holder sitting on the side table that was pushing against the wall near the entrance. He took off his shoes and coat before walking fully into his house.
He was happy that his brother through him a party, but he wished it was on a weekend. However, he wasn't complaining because he did manage to steal a kiss at said party and he knew if Phil knew about it he'll be in huge trouble. He just hopes that Evie doesn't tell him because things would be awkward between them too and he probably would be forbidden to see her even though he is her dance instructor.
Which was an wonderful thing because he could use that as an excuse to see her all the time, and be around her. He removes his clothing until he was naked leaving a trail of clothing to his living to his bathroom, he turns on the shower and puts on the radio that sat on his counter and started singing along to the old r&b song that came out.
"Damn, this is a throwback, gotta love Keyshia Cole though," he turns on his shower nodding his head along to the beat. "Every girl's got to go through it and every man has to go through it its a thing called love," he song along to the lyrics thinking about how they were true. He shakes his head and jumps into the shower. "Listen to me now listen to me, I still remember the day that you said you was a bad girl," he clearly replaced bad boy with bad girl.
He grabs the shampoo and started to cleans his hair, he really didn't get to get his hair the way he wanted earlier. He soon conditions it and started to climb his fingers through it separating the curls, "Man I should have listened when you said you was a bad girl, you took control of me I thought you would change for me."
Once he finished with his hair he started to risen out the conditioner and sooner starts to wash up his body, blocking out the sound of the song and only listening to the water hit the bottom of his tub. His mind wandering to Evie again for like the tenth time that night.
She said that she was waiting from him to make a move, but he was to busy with his blind dates to noticed that she was interested. And honestly that was his lost and that caused Phil to be able to swoop in and take her away from him. He kind of hated himself for not noticing sooner and it was going to take her a very long time to try and steal her heart.
"Love I thought you had my back this time, but man I am wrong this time, it's a thing called love," he turns off the shower and steps out wrapping the towel around his waist. "I'll just have to come up with a ten step plan to win her heart, I won't lose to Phil!"
The competition is on! Dil finally realized his feelings for her. I'm sorry for this being what two or three weeks late? The first week I was exhausted, so I didn't work on it, and the second week I had a terrible cold, it freaking sucked. I could barely breathe and it felt like I was freaking dying! I swear I never felt anything like that before, I'm still kind of sick, but I think I held this off for way too long. Also, I have important news, I just started to get into drawing, I thought I didn't only want to write stories, I want to draw out the characters too. Since I'm like three days into drawing I draw like a third grader but that doesn't mean I will stop practicing, I will continue to practice until I am good enough to start drawing my oc Evie Lewis! And her children, and Mason, and the Rugrats characters. I'm practicing anime style drawing, so they all will be in that style. If you wish to see these drawings I will be making a Tumblr and Deviantart, in maybe four or five months. I'm really excited about this. Maybe when I'm good I'll make other people's original characters as well. That's all, I hope you enjoyed this chapter.
