Your point of view
What the absolute fuck…
Dan had not only brought alcohol around again even after last time but he also bought you a necklace as if you were materialistic. What did he think of you? That you would just become his girlfriend because he bought you a gift. Obviously he had good intentions but how were you supposed to respond, 'well Dan I actually like Phil' needless to say you couldn't do that. You just look at Dan in shock.
"Y/n? Are you okay?" Dan seems upset and slightly embarrassed.
You lower your head, "we have known each other for barely a week Dan. How would that work?"
"What does that even mean? What is the length of time we would have to know each other before I could show my feelings for you?" His voice is increasingly angry with every word, you had irritated him a lot. And what he said did make sense to you, a lot of sense actually. Only you felt that you were so confused that you just couldn't make a decision.
You look at Dan with an apologetic expression, "I'm sorry Dan."
He turns away from you and puts his head in his hands. "If you don't like me why have you let me kiss you? You've been leading me on. You didn't even text me after the fucking train." He was still annoyed, if not more now. He was reflecting upon everything.
"Dan…" you try to explain yourself but he interrupts you.
"I'm so stupid. I actually thought you were different."
"DAN!" You shout at him, rather more aggressively then you had expected yourself to.
He lifts his head away from his hands and he looks at you in shock.
"I'm sorry."
His expression changes from shock and anger to more neutral and sad. Then he hugs you, quite surprisingly you hug him back with the same amount of strength. Both of you cling to each other. You rest your head on his shoulder and he pulls you in tighter. You realise your crying, and so is Dan. His tears aren't as heavy as yours but he stills cries a tear or two. But you are full force crying, you'd finally broken, after so much isolation from someone who cares about you just being shown the slightest bit of affection by someone made you cry. You felt pathetic. You turn off the water works and attempt to pull away from Dan, but he pulls you back in and you wrap your arms around his shoulders and neck.
Dan leans into your ear, "do you like me back, at all?" He whispers.
The question sent shivers down your spine, because you did like him back and saying so wouldn't be a lie. "Yes."
Dan pulls away slightly and raises one hand to your face, cupping it in his hand. Then he looks into your eyes and you close them. He leans in and kisses you. At first he kissed you lightly, then he became passionate and so did you. Eventually you were laid down on the sofa with Dan on top of you, still kissing you passionately. Your legs were wrapped up with his and you held his face close to yours, ensuring the kiss never stopped. Then his phone rang and you both stopped kissing and looked at each other.
"I should get that."
"Okay."
Dan moves from on top of you and sits on the end of the sofa with his phone in hand.
"Hey Phil. What's up."
Dan listens to Phil, "I'm at y/n's flat."
As Dan says that your stomach drops. You didn't want Phil to now what had happened. So you tap Dan on the shoulder and as he turns to face you you wave your hands to express that he shouldn't say anything.
So Dan adds, "I'm just helping her…move some furniture." Dan hits himself on the forehead for using such an obviously false excuse. "Yeah…sure…okay… See you later Phil." He places the phone back into his coat pocket and turns back to you.
"Why didn't you want Phil to know why I was round here?"
"Wouldn't that be weird. If you just told him. Remember what happened at your flat." Another complete lie. The truth was you didn't want Phil to be put off you.
"Yeah, your right." He leans back in to kiss you again.
You contemplate moving away but decide that you'd already kissed him so another wouldn't make it worse. And plus, you hated to admit it but you liked the way he kissed you, he made you feel something, you weren't sure what but it was something.
So as he leaned in you closed your eyes and placed your hands on his shoulders while he placed his hands on your hips and edged you closer to him. Then his soft lips met yours. Once more the kiss began sweet and slow, then lead into passion. You didn't want it to end.
Dan's point of view
As you kissed y/n you pulled her onto your lap and placed your hands around her waist. The temptation to carry her into her bedroom was very strong, it took a lot of your strength not to.
After over fifteen minutes your lips were sore and y/n's skin was covered in love bites. Once again you were both in your underwear, but this time you both knew what you were doing, still not letting things get any further. Laying over y/n on the floor you pulled away from kissing her and watched as her eyes opened in confusion.
"Why have you stopped?" She asked
"I just wanted to look at you."
As you spoke she became embarrassed of herself, she took her arms away from you and covered her body while turning red from embarrassment.
You stroked her cheek and kissed her once, softly. Then, you placed your thumb and forefinger on the deep blue pendant placed between her collar bones and played with it, watching as light reflected through it.
"Dan, what time is it?" Y/n asked.
"Nearly noon."
"Should we go out somewhere?"
"We can do anything you want."
"Thanks Dan, shall we go to Covent Garden."
"Sounds great."
Both of you sit up on the floor and start redressing yourselves, when you're done you stand up and hold a hand out for y/n to get up off the floor.
"Thanks" she says.
After a few minutes are spent getting ready to leave you and y/n exit her flat hand in hand and walk along the dead leaf covered street towards the underground.
Your point of view
It felt strange to be walking hand in hand with someone, you weren't usually one for public affection but you felt as if Dan wanted you to, so you did. And as you got off the train at Covent Garden station you and Dan drift in and out of shops and the market for the afternoon. He continuously offered to buy you things and in an attempt to prove you weren't materialistic you refused to let him buy you a single thing.
You and Dan sat in a restaurant for a late afternoon meal, you were shocked by the familiar voice that came from behind you.
"Y/n, is that you?" It was Marcus. Oh shit.
You turn your head and see him walking towards you.
"Hi. Marcus this is Dan."
Dan and Marcus exchange pleasantries for a few seconds until Marcus opens his big fat mouth,
"So is this the same guy that you slept with?" You could see by the look on his face he knew what he was doing, and he found it funny.
"What does he mean?" Dan's face instantly become defensive, he has no idea he is the guy.
"Dan look, I can explain." You look back and forth between Dan and Marcus trying to think of what to say.
"You don't have to." Dan stands up and walks away out of the restaurant.
You try to follow him but Marcus grabs your arm and pulls you back.
"Thank god I saved you from that."
"What are you on?!" You push Marcus away from you and walk out of the restaurant but when you get outside Dan is gone and completely out of sight.
You get your phone out of your pocket and try calling him but it goes straight to answer phone. So you text him, 'Dan where are you I can explain everything' and you wait for an answer.
Phil's point of view
Pj and Chris had come round for the day and the three of you sat in the living room when you heard the front door open and slam.
You shout "Dan is that you?"
"Yeah."
"Pj and Chris are here."
"Hi guys" Dan says as he walks up the last few stairs and into the living room.
"Hey Dan." Chris says.
"Hi. Phil said you were with y/n. Is she here?" Pj asks.
"No, she uhh went home."
Your phone vibrates and it's a message from y/n. "That's weird, she just texted me asking where you are and saying to let you know she can explain…what happened Dan?"
"I can't…I don't know how to explain." Dan sits down and everyone looks at him waiting. "It's complicated. I asked her to be my…" Dan coughs "my girlfriend."
"Wow Dan we haven't known her long." You say with a mild hint of envy.
"That's not the problem Phil. She said no. And then, you know, we kissed for a bit. After a while we stopped and went out. We went to a restaurant where a guy walked up to her and asked her if I was some guy she had slept with. She's so complicated, it's constant mixed messages with her."
Everyone looks at Dan with sympathy. Except you. So while Pj and Chris comfort Dan you reply to y/n. 'Hey Dan is pretty upset about what happened, he told us everything and I don't think you can sort things out with him. Talk to you soon.'
