Chapter 14 – Film night

I woke up the next day with Phil's arms around me. The house was silent; the only sound that I could hear was Phil breathing while he sleeps.

This time I am not going to get up like last time, I didn't want to wake him up. I closed my eyes and tried to fall asleep again, but memories of the previous day were coming back to my mind.

Yesterday after we took the 'naked' picture and changed our clothes, we went playing some videogames until dinnertime. Because there was no one here to tell us to eat, dinnertime ended up being at 11pm when we started to get hungry. Luckily, Phil's mum left us food already prepared in the fridge that we only needed to place in the microwave for a few minutes.

After eating we decided to watch a film. Phil went to get his gigantic collection of DVD's and we chose one that we both liked.

"Do you want popcorn?" He asked.

"Yeah, thanks. But don't make too many, we just had dinner."

"Noted."

He then disappeared into the kitchen while I prepared the film. A few minutes later the smell of the popcorn reached the living room.

"Do you want them with sugar or salt?" He shouted from the other room.

"I like both, so whatever you like more is fine by me." I answered.

"With sugar it is then." He said, as he entered the room with a bowl full of popcorns.

"What did I tell you about just had dinner?"

"Ups" was the only thing he said, giggling a little.

We sat down on the sofa and started the film. I slowly lifted my legs from the floor and tried to but them on Phil's lap. When he noticed what I was trying to do he just shook his head saying no.

"Pleaseeeee" I begged, blinking rapidly like girls do in the films when they want something.

Phil signed and said:

"Okay… but just this time."

.

Two hours later

When the film ended, the bowl of popcorns was still almost completely full.

I was feeling tired and I could tell that Phil was too, because he was yawning every ten seconds. Well, it was almost three in the morning.

"Do you want to go to sleep?" I asked him.

"Yes please" He answered in a sleepy voice.

We got upstairs, brushed our teeth, put on our night clothes, and went to bed. Fortunately Phil's bed is big enough for both of us, I hate to sleep squeezed to one side.

Phil got closer to me and hugged me.

"I'm happy to have you here."

"I'm happy to be here too, Phil." I said, hugging him back.

He pressed his lips against mine, in a sweet kiss, not rushed or desperate. When our lips parted, he was smiling, and that really warmed me up inside. I don't think that exist better sensation than to know that someone is happy being with us and we are happy being with that person.

Through all my life I never felt this way, I never felt like being needed, I never felt being able to make someone happy just because they are with me. Of course I have my friends, and I'm sure they appreciate my company, but I'm not referring to that kind of need. Phil is special and he makes me feel special.

"What are you thinking Dan?" he said, now slightly concerned. "Your eyes got glazed."

"Oh, nothing important, don't worry", I answered smiling to him.

"You know you can tell me if something is worrying you, you know?"

"I know, thanks. But it's nothing, really."

"Okay, I believe you." And he was smiling again. He then gave me a small kiss in my forehead. "I think we should sleep now."

"Yeah, me too… 'Night Phil"

"Sleep well Dan."

He turned the light off and gave me his hand, as we both slowly got into sleep.

When I opened my eyes again, Phil was bent above me, staring at my face with his eyes fully opened. I had a little scare, and moved quickly away from him.

"Why were you doing that for?! That's not creepy at all!" I said harshly, with my heart still beating fast.

"Oh, sorry Dan! I didn't mean to scare you, just wanted to see your reaction. I thought it would be funny." Said Phil, apologizing.

"I am dying with laughter", I said sarcastically.

"I am sorry. Come over here." He said coming closer, and embracing me with his arms. How could I stay mad at him?

"So, what do you say to filming a video today?" I asked, less grumpy.

a/n: Sorry this chapter is nothing special, but sometimes this needs to happen to introduce a really good and long one! Look forward to it :]

I'm probably not going to upload a new chapter during the weekend, because I'm going to visit my grandparents and there's no Internet there, but I'll be back on Monday.

Thank you for reading, and have a good day! Xx
