Phil's POV:
I woke up to the light shining on my face, I had a headache and just felt generally rough. It'd been quite a while since I'd had a hangover and my body wasn't coping very well. I could feel a warm presence beside me, which was unusual. But then yesterday hit me, everything that happened and everything that led up to last night. I turned slightly to see Dan sleeping with his back to me, I tried not to move too suddenly in fear of waking him up. We were so close he was nearly lying on top of me, his hair was slightly ruffled which just made him even more attractive – if that was possible.
A sudden sting of regret hit my stomach, not because I, myself regretted it – never. Dan on the other hand may not agree with me, I had sudden pangs of guilt related to practically taking advantage of Dan in his drunken state. Unlike most intoxicated people, I usually had a pretty clear memory of things that happened that night. We hadn't done anything last night other than kiss, I remembered that after a while of being on a high from the alcohol Dan usually got pretty sleepy whilst drunk. He ended up falling asleep before anything else could happen and maybe that was just as well.
I was scared thinking about how he would react when he woke up, surely he couldn't feel the same way. The only reason he kissed me back was because he was heavily intoxicated. I imagined the worst, Dan waking up horrified, vowing to never talk to me ever again. But at the same time, I took a second to pretend that we were together (as sad as it sounds). That every night was like this, falling asleep beside each other and that once he woke up we would go down and make breakfast. It was nice to pretend, even for just a second.
A little glimmer of light from the window fell across his face, it made Dan look almost like a fairytale. I could barely even believe someone could look this perfect having just slept along with having a hangover. I wanted to throw my arms around him and pull him even closer.
I noticed his eyes flickering a little bit and then him mumbling a little bit. He sat up with his eyes still closed and rubbed his eyes just before running his hands through his hair. I braced myself for his reaction, his eyes immediately darted towards me. He seemed surprised and then just awkward.
"Oh what happened last night?" He groaned.
"You don't remember?" I asked, feeling more awkward by the second.
"I remember everything up until coming up here" Dan said trailing off.
"It's okay we didn't do anything" I said with a slight laugh, hoping to lighten to the mood.
He nodded in return, he looked out of it. Like he was too busy thinking to even acknowledge I was here. I watched him grab his phone and check the time, by that stage I knew what was coming.
"Um listen I'd better go" He said sheepishly.
"Yeah of course" I said trying not to sound disappointed.
He wriggled out from under my duvet and pulled on his black skinny jeans that were laying on the floor. I couldn't help but look him up and down as he jumped into his jeans and pulled his top over his head. I wanted him to stay all day, more than that I wanted him to want to stay.
"Do you want any breakfast before you go or anything?" I asked, in a last attempt to get him to stay longer.
"I'm sorry I can't" He said now pulling his coat on.
"We should do this again, well not this but meet up again" I said.
"Yeah definitely, text me the details" He said before running out.
Would he even want to meet up with me again?
I fell back down on my bed and pulled the duvet over my head. Why did you have to kiss him Phil? Things were so close to going back to normal.
