So, here is part one of my story. I've been writing this for a few weeks and I know it isn't perfect, but this is only this first draft. Hope you enjoy! By the way, it's kind of a fan fiction, so brace yourselves.
Chapter One
It's just a normal day for you. You're on the second day of your month long trip to London. You decide to explore the local streets around your hotel so you can learn the area you're staying in. You step out of the large double oak doors of your hotel and you take a sharp left. You walk about 300 meters up the busy London pavements when you decide to put your headphones in, your favourite band (Muse) starts to play. You take a few paces forward when suddenly, you walk straight into two guys, probably around your own age. One is wearing a black t-shirt with a large white circle in the centre of it. His hair is a deep coffee brown. It falls perfectly onto his pale, yet lightly tanned skin. His chestnut eyes meet yours. The other is wearing a light blue t-shirt with white parrots dotted around on it. His hair is pure black; it sweeps effortlessly across his equally pale skin. His eyes are a bright sky blue, similar to the colour of his shirt.
"Sorry!" You say to both of them.
"It's okay", the first one replies.
"I'm Dan, nice to meet you." He adds, his voice is an amazingly articulate sound, each word pronounced with excellence and diction.
"Yeah, don't worry about it, I'm Phil, nice to meet you!" Phil announces.
"Nice to meet you both, I'm Delilah, how are you?" You ask.
"I'm good thanks, even better for seeing you", Phil answers. You blush so your cheeks turn a bright rose colour, whilst you giggle slightly.
"I'm okay thank you, how are you?" Says Dan.
"I'm good, but I'm lost..." You reply, because you'd automatically started to walk with them, away from your intended destination.
"Well, where do you want to go?" Phil asks.
“I
don’t really know, I’m on holiday, where are you guys going?" You say.
“We’re
going to Shake Away, want to come?” Dan asks.
“Yeah! But I don’t have any
money... I wasn’t planning on buying anything” you answer.
“Don’t worry, it’s
fine, I’ll pay!” Phil tells you.
“Awh! Thank you!” You tell him back.
You all
start walking toward the nearest Shake Away – which they tell you is about a
fifteen minute walk. As you walk, you get talking to them. You talk about your
life, and they talk about theirs. You find out that Dan is called Daniel Howell
and that he shares a flat with Philip Lester (Phil). Their flat is only a few
minutes away from your hotel.
As
you reach Shake Away, you all start discussing what milkshakes you are going to
get. Phil gets a Daim bar and Oreo milkshake, and Dan get a white chocolate
Malteasers and butterscotch milkshake. You have never been to Shake Away before
so you get an Oreo and white chocolate Malteasers one, a combination of theirs.
You all sit on a nearby wooden park bench opposite an emerald green field.
“So,
where are you from?” Dan asks you.
“I’m from Sheffield, it’s up Manchester
way.” You say in between sips of sweet Oreo and Malteasers goodness.
“I’m from
Manchester!” Phil announces.
“Really? You sound much more articulate than your
average Yorkshire girl”, says Dan.
“Thanks, I guess, hehe” you reply.
“I grew
up watching too much Winnie the Pooh...” You say.
“Woah, we have so much in
common!” Dan tells you. You all slurp up the remaining milkshake from your
large plastic cups.
“Wanna come back to ours for a bit?” they both asked in
sync.
“Yeah, sure!” You answer.
“But first, I have to go to the toilet”, Phil
says pointing at a large block of public toilets across the road.
“Okay”, you
say.
“We’ll be here when you come back.” Dan says to Phil. Phil rushes off to
the toilet block meanwhile, you and Dan sit back down on the hard wooden bench.
“Guess what!” Dan whispers.
“What?”
you say.
“Phil likes you!” he quietly announces in the same excited whispered
tone.
“Really? Well, I like him too...” you tell Dan.
“Awh!”
Dan says as he quickly stands up as soon as he sees Phil crossing over the
quiet road.
“So, let’s go!" Phil says.
All of
you start walking back towards Phil and Dan’s flat, as soon as the conversation
gets going, you put one of your headphones in your left ear and carry on
listening to the Muse album ‘Origin of Symmetry’. Then, you notice how adorable
Phil actually is. His azure eyes twinkle in the sunlight of summer time London.
You
reach the flat within 10 minutes of quick walking through the crowded London
streets, weaving in between the busy commuters and dog walkers. It’s a very spacious flat, especially for a
flat in central London. They give you a tour, showing you the ins and outs of
each room. Dan decides to go out to the local shops to buy you all some
Malteasers. It’s just you and Phil, alone in the flat. You sit close to each
other on the 3 seater leather sofa, so close your legs are practically
touching.
“So, Delilah, I don’t know how to say this
exactly, but, um, I fall in love pretty quickly and, I think I've fallen in love
with you...” Phil says. You stare into his baby blue eyes.
“I feel the same way.” You tell Phil. Phil’s soft pale hands grasp onto yours, your fingers interlocking.
“So,
Delilah, will you be my girlfriend?” Phil asks you.
“Yes” you
reply to him, your heart beating fast. Then, Dan walks in, with 3 huge pillar
box read boxes of Malteasers.
“So,
what have you two been up too then?”Dan asks in a very inquisitive voice whilst winking with a cheeky smile. Then Phil
clings onto your arm and pulls you upwards and he starts walking towards Dan,
who is on the other side of the kitchen.
“Dan, meet my girlfriend –
Delilah” Phil announces proudly. Dan screams happily like a giddy school girl and drops all 3 bus-red
boxes of chocolaty treats on the floor. He hugs you both and passes you both a
large box of Malteasers. You sit down in between them both and press the
equally red button on the long black remote to turn the TV on and watch 3
episodes of Buffy the Vampire Slayer whilst holding hands with Phil. Time flies
by whilst you’re playing Skyrim and attempting to make pancakes, before you
know it, it’s 8 o’clock and you have to go back to your hotel room. Phil’s soft
lips gently kiss you on your increasingly rosy cheeks whilst he plays with your
long blonde hair.
“Could you meet us here at 9 o’clock in the morning please?”
he asks you.
“Sure!” you reply. Then you hear a shout coming from the kitchen.
“9 o’clock? You've got to be joking me! You never get up THAT
early...” Dan exclaims. Phil laughs then opens the door for you and walks out onto the street
with you.
“Do you want me to walk with you?” Phil asks
with a warm smile spreading across his face. “It’s fine, it’s only a 5 minute
walk”, you answer him back.
“Well, tough, I’m walking with you anyway”, he
states, a cheeky smile appears on his face. Even though it’s the beginning of
August, later in the evenings it can get very cold. When you set out from your
house, it was a warm and sunny day, so you only chose to wear a t-shirt and
skinny jeans. You start shivering about 30 seconds into the journey, when Phil
notices; he takes off his hoodie and wraps it around your shoulders.
“Better?”
he asks you.
“Much better thank you cutie”, you reply. As soon as you reach the
hotels large oak doors once more.
“Goodbye, I’ll see you tomorrow.” You say.
“Nope, I’m coming up to your room with you, to make sure your okay”, Phil says.
As you push open the grand wooden doors, you think about everything that has
happened today. Was it even all real? Was it a dream? These thoughts circle
around your mind until you get back to your hotel room – Room 285. Phil gives
you the biggest hug you could have possibly wished for and kisses your cheek
once more. You hand him back his hoodie.
“No, you keep it” he says. You take a
deep breath and smell the bright green hoodie around the neckline, it smells
exactly like him, you think.
“Okay beautiful, n’night, sweet dreams, I love
you” Phil says to you.
“Night night sweet heart, I love you too” you reply. As
Phil walks down the corridor you smile and wave at him. And then the reality
kicks in.
“I have a boyfriend” you whisper to yourself. You enter your hotel room and plug your iPod into your portable dock-in station
and start to play your ‘Favourites’ playlist, which comprises of – Muse, Two
Door Cinema Club, The Wombats, Arctic Monkeys, The Script and many more
Indie-Rock artists. You quickly change into your Winnie the Pooh Pj's and put
Phil’s large green hoodie over the top and take deep breaths into it. You lie
down in bed, close your eyes and start to dream.
Thank you for reading all the way down hear! That was chapter one, I'll hopefully be posting chapter two sometime next month. I know it's not amazing but I'm quite proud of what I've got so far. See you guys soon!
