Chapter forty four

By the end of the movie we were all laughing. When we had finished Dan offered to go and make us some food as it was now about dinner time. After kissing me lightly on the forehead he left for the kitchen.

Phil and I sat for a while like I used to do with my sister after watching any good movie and basically relived the whole movie, commenting on every funny scene and good line. Everything was now an inside joke, and Phil and I had a lot of the same humor.

When we had finished talking about the movie the room fell into a silence, it wasn't an awkward silence; we just hadn't found a new topic of conversation yet.

After a few moments Phil broke it "I know I've already said this, but I'm glad you finally came to your senses with Dan and all"

"So am I, really I was just being stupid and I'm glad that I was able, with some help, to see how stupid I was being. I just want to put that behind us now, so we can move on with our . . . well, relationship I guess you could call it"

"If what you and Dan have isn't a relationship then I don't know what is. He really likes you you know; I was genuinely worried about him" he admitted.

"It really hurt me to put him though it as well, I guess I'm just not used to guys really liking me" I paused for a while "Phil, I know this is kind of changing the subject, but not really, do you remember my friend Ally form the other night?" I questioned.

"Yeah, of course" his whole face lit up at the mention of her.

"What did you think of her?" I pressed.

"I don't know, she seemed really sweet and she had a great sense of humor. Why?" he asked I could see he was getting curious now.

"Oh, nothing, I was just wondering really. You guys just seemed to hit it off pretty nicely"

"I guess we did" he admitted.

Just then Dan popped his head round the door and announced that dinner was ready. Phil and I got up and followed Dan into the kitchen and helped him carry the food back into the lounge where the dining table stood. We all gathered round setting the table.

Dan and I sat down next to each other with Phil across the table from us. Dan hadn't made anything fancy, just some chicken, vegetables and rice, but it was really good.

"So what did I miss while I slaved in the kitchen?" Dan asked sarcastically.

"Not much" Phil answered.

"Not really" I agreed "we just talked about the movie, how Phil was glad I've come to my senses and how Ally and he hit it off the other night" I added.

"Really? This is news to me, what happened?" Dan asked curiously.

"Well, you were drunk so Ally helped me get you home. Phil opened the door half naked and helped us get you into bed. I excused myself to go to the bathroom and by the time I got back they were all giggles" I recalled.

"They just stayed for tea and she was nice to talk to" Phil interjected.

"Yeah, nothing special" I agreed, my words dripped with irony "actually for me it was quite boring" I said honestly.

"What do you mean?" Dan asked, I think he foresaw my sarcastic response.

"Well would you enjoy sitting there with them going 'Oh, you're so funny Phil' and 'I can't believe we both like this one band' and 'No, you're too sweet' and I mean all that staring into each other's eyes longingly" I rolled my eyes and Dan broke out in fits of laughter.

When he was finally able to breathe again he touched my arm and exclaimed "Oh, you're so funny Sarah" and then broke out into even more fits of laughter. At that I also started laughing and I could see a smile tug at the edges of Phil's mouth.

"Oh, come on Phil, admit it, you were so into each other you hardly even noticed that I was there" I mocked him.

"I didn't realize we were being that bad" he admitted.

"That's ok, I actually enjoyed watching you guys make complete fools out of your selves" I admitted.

Dan had finally stopped laughing hysterically by now "I bet we were pretty bad that first time the three of us went out"

"We were not! We had known each other for longer, so we had probably gotten most of that out of the way already" I argued.

"You weren't that bad actually. I was pretty impressed actually; I mean by the way Dan had talked about you I was actually expecting worse. I was pretty impressed by how cool you both seemed. Although every time one of you said something witty or funny you both looked at each other with those goofy smiles" Phil told us.

"Remember what happened later that evening?" Dan asked and I nodded in response "You were lying on top of me on the couch and I remember I had an overwhelming urge to kiss you, but back then I still thought you only wanted to be friends. You also said you didn't like guys who went too fast" he reminded me accusingly.

"Well, in general that's correct, but it depends on who the guy is and if I'm ready to go fast" I had a feeling Dan and I were talking about the same thing.

"I mean, because what you said earlier" Dan said, but really he was asking, asking about what I had whispered earlier and if I had really meant it.

"Well, I have known you for a few more weeks . . ." I trailed off, but I think Dan understood what I meant anyway. He grabbed my hand and stood up, helping me to my feet. Then he turned to Phil "Phil do you mind cleaning up here, we have some unfinished business to attend to"

"Ok, but what unfinished business? Oh, no wait, I don't think I want to know" Phil suddenly realized what Dan was talking about.

"Good decision, thanks Phil" he said as he dragged me out of the lounge and down the hall. Dan didn't waste any time, by the time he had closed his bedroom door behind us he was already kissing me. He pushed me up against the door kissing me roughly, it felt so good. My body was tingling with anticipation. My hands were in his hair pulling him closer to my and Dan's were on my waist pushing me against the door.

When he broke away and started kissing down my neck I broke, I just couldn't wait any more. I had wanted this for so long. I pushed Dan away from me, and he gave me a questioning look. Before he could do anything I grabbed his wrist, gave him a suggestive look and pulled him after me toward the bed. I pushed him down onto the bed; I actually didn't push him very hard, he kind of fell onto the bed of his own accord. He lay on the bed waiting for me, I stood over him for a few moments before climbing on top of him and connecting our lips again.

We were both breathing heavily and the kiss was now extremely needy. I sat up on top of him and removed my shirt. Boy was I glad I had gone for that sexy underwear now. I leaned down again to Dan's lips, and I could feel his hands roaming all over my back and all over the rest of my body for that matter. I grinded my hips against his creating friction and anticipation. Dan grabbed my waist and rolled me over so he was now on top and kissed down my chest feverishly.
