Hey guys! How was your Thanksgiving? If you don't celebrate it, how was your Thursday? I'd actually really like to know! So honestly, I didn't really know what to do for this chapter, so it's a bit of a filler chapter. Sorry. It's not that bad though. Remember to review! It makes me so happy to read all of them and reply to them. Enjoy chapter 7!
Phil's POV
We walk down the streets of London, hand in hand, still not sure of what we want to eat. I'm up for whatever Dan wants. We like mostly the same things, so I know it will be something that we both like.
"What do you think you would like to eat for our first date?" I ask.
"Oh so this is a date now?"
"I mean if you want it to be." I say, awkwardly.
"Then this is our first date!" he smiles. "And I don't really want anything fancy or expensive. How bout pizza?"
"Sounds great. Where's the nearest pizza place?"
"I think there's one down this street and around the corner."
We haven't really ventured out around London that much since we moved here. It's a lot bigger than Manchester, and busier too. We knew Manchester really well. I could walk anywhere with my eyes closed. Sometimes I really miss our home in Manchester. But as long as I'm with Dan, I don't care where I am. Dan is my home. And I'm his.
We walk silently down the street and around the corner. Sure enough, there's the pizza place. 'Veronika's Pizzeria'.
When we enter the big building, we are hit with the delightful aroma of melted cheese and burnt crust. We hardly have any time to breath when we are greeted by a 20-something girl with long, curled reddish-blondish hair. She's wearing a fake black mustache, a white chefs hat, and a name tag that reads 'Veronika'. She must be the owner.
"Hola!" She says in a bad Italian accent.
"Um isn't 'hola' Spanish?" I ask. She ignores my question.
"Welcome to Veronika's!" She kept the bad accent. "I am Veronika! How may I help you young ladies this fine evening?"
"Uh we aren't ladies." I say, pretty confused.
"Of course! Young men! I said men! How may I help you young men this fine evening?"
"Table for two please." Dan said, backing up, which makes my arm extend.
"Wee wee!" Veronika said, turning French. She led us to a small table in the back corner of the restaurant and handed us menus right as we sat down. "Let me know when you two are ready to order!" Her Italian accent making a reappearance. She spun away back to the front of the restaurant to help more customers.
"I'm not sure if her strangeness is funny or scary." Dan stated, a bit concerned.
"Maybe both."
I pick up a menu and start to read through it. It just lists about 15 different types of pizza and a multitude of sodas that they have. I didn't even know there were places where you sit down and just order pizza. What else is there in London?
We settle on a pepperoni pizza to share and take the leftovers home, and two cokes. Dan tries to flag down a waitress to take our order, but I stop him.
"Hey let me do it. This is a date, remember. I'll order and pay and stuff. You just eat and enjoy it all." I grab his hand from across the table.
"You're so sweet, Philip." He leans across the table and kisses me.
"And you're so cute, Daniel." I start to rub his knuckles with my thumb. We sit there, just looking into each others eyes. His dark brown eyes are just so amazing. I like my eyes, but his are just so playful, and secretive, and... Perfect.
Our little moment is interrupted by screaming.
"Oh my God! It's Dan and Phil!" A shorter girl with shoulder length straight brown hair and glasses came running up to us. I quickly pull my hand away for Dan's. I hope that she didn't see that.
"Hi!" Dan and I say together. I notice she's wearing a Danosaur shirt,
"Could I get some pictures with you?" She asks. As she gets closer, I notice she has pretty green eyes.
"Sure! What's your name by the way?" Dan asks.
"Katelyn!"
"Well, Katelyn," Dan said standing up "We'd love to take pictures with you."
I stand up along with them and we take three pictures. One of Katelyn and Dan, one of me and Katelyn, and one of all three of us.
"Thanks so much, guys!"
"Anytime, Katelyn!" I say. We hug her again before she leaves.
"Bye, Dan! Bye, Phil!"
"Bye!" I say.
"Bye, Katelyn!" Dan says and waves at her.
We sit back down and finally order our food. We both wear similar smiles on our faces.
"Don't you just love meeting fans randomly? It always makes my day." I say.
"Yeah. She was cute."
"Don't go getting any ideas!"
"I'm gay, stupid!"
"I know, I'm just saying."
"And you're you know..." Dan pauses. "My boyfriend. Right?" He sounds nervous.
"Yes, Dan. I'm your boyfriend. And you're mine." I grab his hand again. "You know, Dan, we were holding hands when she came up to us. We were looking all lovey dovey. She must have seen it."
"Well she didn't say anything."
"I know, but that doesn't mean she didn't see it."
"Stop worrying! We need to tell all our fans anyways."
"But what if other fans see us and actually say something? What if they take pictures and post them online?" My voice is starting to shake with fear and nerves.
"Please stop worrying. It'll all be okay! We can try and be a little more careful until we decide to tell them."
"Okay. When do we tell them?"
"Whenever we're ready."
That's when our food gets to the table. We eat in a silence that's not comfortable, but not awkward. In a little while, we're done eating and are getting ready to leave. I decide this is a good time to ask the question I've had on my mind since our conversation before the meal.
"Hey, Dan?"
"Hmmm?" He starts to stand up. I stand up too.
"How do we know when we're ready?" He takes my hand in his.
"Trust me. We'll know."
Once again, sorry for the filler chapter. The next one will be better, I swear. I'll try and make things happen. But yeah. Veronika was based on my sister Veronika. She helped me come up with how the character acted. Katelyn was based on my friend Katelyn. She didn't really need to help with the description or actions of the character. Let's give them both a round of applause! Yay! So next chapter on Sunday! Get excited! Whoop whoop! Alrighty then. Now I'm going to go wait for Dan to post his new video. Stay cool guys! Bye!
