Chapter 10 "If You Knew"

Keel and Phil were sitting beside each other with Via and Owen. Under the table they were holding hands but for the first time all day they didn't want people to see them.

"Phil… I can't tell you how many guys have yelled at you for stealing me! Have you heard them?" Keely asked. She sounded really annoyed and her grip tightened.

"Yep. But they were to late to get you so it's their own fault." He rubbed his thumb against her hand telling her to ease off. Even when he grip went back to normal he still rubbed it letting her know that it was okay.

"And some girl was telling me that everybody knew you two would be together… to bad you two didn't." Via said. Keely and Phil's faces turned red because they both knew it but they both were too afraid to ask each other.

"Yea. Didn't know." Keely mange to choke out.

"How did you do on your test Keel?" Phil asked trying to change the subject.

"Fine. I think the candy thing worked…" She squeezed Phil's hand and he squeezed back telling her that he understood what he meant. They tried to hold back the laughs and eat their food.

"How about you two?" Phil said finally managing to talk without hinting a laughing fit.

"Flying colors." Via said sarcastically.

"I have no clue what that means but I think I… flunked it." Owen put his head back down and began to eat the meat surprise on his tray.

"How do you possible eat that Owen?" Via said with a discussed look to match her voice.

"No idea. But after tolerating it for a few months it's not to bad actually." Owen said nodding. Phil, Keely and Via looked at him in confusion then went back to their conversation. They talked about how bad lockers are this year and the pictures next week.

"Not picture day…" Phil moaned. He hated them as much as he did when and automated and editable ones were available back in 2121. He remembered how bad his first picture looked… no matter who edited it.

"It can't be so bad were you're from Phil." Keely said.

"Oh it was… I'll tell you later tonight." Phil knew that he couldn't discuss being from the future in front of Owen and Via, and hopefully Keely did too.

"What else do we have coming up this week that I should be warned about?" Phil asked trying to get another conversation going.

"Mexican day is Thursday so I would stay away from Larry Tub… never good when you give him Mexican food with beans included at no extra charge." Owen said pretending to fan a foul stench away from his face.

"Great. Just when things couldn't get any better." Phil joked. Keely laughed along, but Via and Owen didn't seem to get it. Phil and Keely stopped laughing and went back to eating. The bell rang and Phil took his and Keely's tray and dumped them into the garbage and put them up to be washed.

"Well see you to later." Phil said waving good-bye to Owen and Via

"Bye you two… and don't do anything while we aren't there… We have our ways of knowing…" Via laughed and grabbed Owen. Phil grabbed Keely's hand and they walked to their lockers. Since they had the next class together Phil helped Keely carry her books.

"Phil… I love that you're so sweet!" Keely said giving him a grateful hug almost knocking the books out of his hands.

"Keel… um… I love when you hug me but now's not exactly a great time…" Keely backed up to see why. She took a few of her books off the top of the pile and helped.

"Thanks Keely." Phil said. He bent over and kissed her on the cheek.

"Hey hey hey! Wait until tonight… I planned the PERFECT date! So o kissing until then." Keely sounded serious and Phil knew there was nothing he could do to change her mind.

"Okay. No kissing. You just have to torture me." Phil said laughing at the look on Keely's face.

"I mean it… nothing will change my mind… no matter how cute that look your giving me is." Keely seriously thought about caving in but she knew everything had to be perfect to thank him for what he had done for her.

"Okay…. I promise…" Phil raised his right hand.

…………………….

Later that night it was finally time for the big date. Keely told Phil that he had to look cute but not fancy. He had black paints on with a light orange shirt and a beater underneath. He spiked his hair just the way Keely liked it. Spiked but only in the front. He looked at the clock in his room. Keely should be here soon. Phil thought to himself. Phil waited for another 15 minutes and decided to call her,

"Hello?" Keely said.

"Keely it's Phil… where are you?" Phil said trying not to sound to concerned

"Oh… He Phil! I'm in front of the coffee shop… my car broke down. Can you pick me up?"

"Sure. See you in a bit." Phil set the phone down and ran out the door. He climbed into his car and put the keys in the ignition, He didn't know how to drive perfectly yet but Phil knew he could get to Keely before it got dark. He drove up to the coffee shop and saw Keely standing there in a short skirt and a strapless top (a.n the same one in a wonderphil life lol.)

'Keely are you okay you've got to be cold… wow you look amazing!" Phil said pulled her in a tight hug trying to her warm. He slid off his hoodie and put it on Keely. She could smell his cologne on the hoodie and it was warm for his body. He opened up the back door of his black car and grabbed two blankets and a pillow down for Keely to rest on if she liked. He remembered he still had stuff in the trunk from the hospital in his trunk. He ran around to the back and popped the trunk open. There was a candle and two fluffy pillows. He pulled them out and put them in the back. Phil lit the candle and out it in the cup holder in the front. The car gained a warm glow and it smelled like cookie dough. He replaced the old pillows with the fluffy ones and went out to get Keely. She stood there shivering.

"Okay…. Climb in!" Phil said taking her hands and guiding her to the back.

"Wow!" was all Keely could say.

"Is that a good wow or a bad wow?" Phil said trying to read her reaction.

"A good wow…. Phil I'm impressed, you have out done yourself. She slid down the seat to make room for Phil.

"Um hold on a sec… all this excitement… I gotta go!" Phil ran into the coffee shop's bathroom.

"Perfect timing!" Keely said She slid a CD into the player and grabbed his remote for it. Phil returned a few minutes later with a coffee and a latte for Keely. Aww… he's so sweet! He went and got me a drink! And it's my favorite! He must know me pretty well now! Keely thought with a smile. She reached over and opened the door for Phil. He slid in and handed Keely her latte and shut the door. He put his in the cup holder and Keely put hers next to it.

"Wow. Phil why?" Keely couldn't figure out why he went this far to make her happy.

"Well you said you wanted to have a perfect date and I had to o all day without kissing you so I thought why not have it in my car!" Phil said. Keely laughed and nodded her head in agreement.

"Hey Phil will you put a CD on?" Keely asked after about 15 minutes of them talking.

"Yea… hmm… there's one in here." He pushed play and Keely's song blasted in the car.

Still can't believe you happened to me

In my head you're all I can see

Don't want to leave you for as long as I live

There's still so much more I have to give

Open up you heart to me

I'll tell you my secrets and dreams

You can tell me yours don't worry

I'm not going any wear in a hurry

Tell me that we're meant to be and that we'll stay together

I want you here for me always and forever

You make me feel like I can fly

And you wipe away every tear I cry

Don't worry you never have to go

I just wanted you to know

"Wow Keely… who is singing this?" Phil knew he had heard it before but couldn't place his finger on it.

"It's me! I wrote these songs for you because you did so many wonderful things for me.

"I knew it was familiar! I just haven't heard you sing like this Keely! It's so beautiful!"

I've seen heaven it's here by my side

Keeping me safe in his arms every night

Picking me up when I fall to the ground

Making sure I never frown

Tell me that we're meant to be and that we'll stay together

I want you here for me always and forever

You make me feel like I can fly

And you wipe away every tear I cry

Don't worry you never have to go

I just wanted you to know

"Keels…. I'm speechless… you did all this!" Phil brought her into a hug.

"After staying with me at the hospital and letting me stay over that night I had to thank youfor all of it… I felt so bad that you did all this and I couldn't repay you! You knew exactly how to fix me and I couldn't bear knowing I still hadn't repaid you! So he here it is. My repayment!" Keely threw her arms up and smiled.

"Keely," Phil said shaking his head. "I did those things because I love you! You didn't have to repay me. I'm perfectly happy knowing I'm in love with a beautiful, creative strong girl who just happens to love me back! That's all I need Keely. All I need is you with me." Keely pulled him into a tight hug and began to cry.

"Phil… that's all I've ever wanted to hear from you." She whispered in his ear. "You're so amazing and I don't know what I would do if I didn't love you. Let me stay with you tonight? Please? I don't want to leave you." Keely pleaded. Phil pulled away and put his forehead against hers.

"Of course Keels. But if you're staying we gotta go and get you some clothes ok?" Phil looked straight into her eyes. Green flecks of excitement shimmered in the light of the candle. Keely could help notice Phil's did the same but they still were sweet and kind. He grabbed the candle and blew it out. He climbed into the driver's seat and helped Keely into hers.

"Did you lock your car?" Phil asked. He wanted to make sure Keely didn't loose it after crashing it weeks before.

"Yea… Lemme check." Keely opened the door and walked around her car checking all the handles. Phil couldn't help looking at Keely. Even if she was in a skirt and a hoodie. He had to admit she had awesome legs… Phil… don't even. Phil thought to himself. No matter how hard he tried he couldn't stop thinking about her. He was wearing a childish grin at the thought of Keely's lips and the kisses they shared. He flipped the CD back to the second song. He listened as her guitar's music filled the car.

Sometimes I can't believe you chose me

Over ever one else we knew

Sometimes I can't breathe

When I knew it was you

All along, I felt it

But I don't know if you did to

Should I be in regret

I you don't feel like I do?

Feeling flooding racing all through my mind

I've gotta tell you now before I run out of time

Got to keep it all together and prepare for you reaction

Build up the courage and take some action yeah

Oh oh oh, yea yea, whoo-oh

Can't keep moving so fast with out

Knowing you wanted to go too

I want you to be with me no doubt

Lemme fall in love with you

Keely opened the car door and sat down.

"My car is locked… lets go to my house and get clothes and blankets okay?" Keely said to Phil who was starting the car.

'Uh… okay! Ready?" He said looking up from the keys.

"Yea. Lets go."
