You're Where I Belong

Chapter 4

A week or so passed since Phil and I had started dating, we saw each other pretty much everyday and when we were at home, we'd be on the phone with each other or texting each other all night. We were basically one of those high school couples that were pretty much inseparable- except I didn't know what we were. We went on a few dates but never really talked about what we were. I wanted to talk to him but I didn't want to push him either, Phil was the kind of person to take things slow. Last thing I needed was to scare away one of the few good things in my life.

Phil and I were cuddled up on his couch, watching a movie, sitting in silence. It was one of our favorite things to do, just enjoying each others presence, having small meaningless conversations every once in a while as the movie plays. Kyle and I never did anything like this, he was great at first but then it seemed like all I was good for with him was sex; it didn't feel that way with Phil, I didn't feel like I had to worry about something like this or moving too fast.

"You have that look on your face.." Phil mumbled, pressing a gentle kiss to my shoulder.

"What look?" I hummed, sighing contently as he worked up to my neck, pressing gentle and innocent little kisses on my skin.

"That look on your face when you're worrying or overthinking.." His said. His voice was soft, he tightened his arms around me gently, pulling me closer.

I giggled and managed to turn around so I was facing him. I smiled and wrapped my arms around his neck, kissing his forehead. "Nothing is on my mind, I was just watching the movie, silly."

"Nice try, babe." babe, I felt my heart flutter and cheeks burn up whenever he called me that, I was like a teenage girl whenever it came to something Phil did. "I've seen that look many times, you always have that look when something is bothering you."

"I'm starting to think that you're the one overthinking things. I'm fine." I mumble, pressing gentle kisses along his jaw, feeling him relax in my arms. I smiled to myself, running a hand through his hair, peppering kisses all over his face, giggling as I felt him scrunch up his face in response. I slowly moved my hand to his cheek, tracing his lips with my thumb before pressing a gentle kiss to them, pulling away when hearing his phone ring. "Do you want to get that."

Phil shook his head but reached over, grabbing his phone, turning the volume down. "No, this is our time. I'll just call them back, it's only my friends."

I smiled and nodded, another thing I adored about Phil was how he gave me attention. I know I probably sound really needy but it wasn't something I was used to, it made me happy that someone cared so much for me. I adored him, I wanted him to be mine, just mine. Phil was everything I wanted, he made me happy, I know a little over a week was too early to say all this but I was happy and most importantly I felt safe. "You're the greatest.."

"Why? Because I ignored the phone?" Phil chuckled.

I laughed softly and shook my head, "No, silly! You're just the greatest- You're so kind and you treat me with nothing but respect and you make me happy."

Phil smiled, turning us over so he was hovering over me, kissing my cheek sweetly. "That's what I hoped for. You deserve to be happy and I'm glad I'm the one who is making you happy.."

I smile and lean up, pressing my lips onto his, kissing him softly. He kissed back almost immediately, slipping his arms around his waist, I wrapped my arms around his neck, pulling him closer to me, slowly bringing my legs around his waist. His hand moved from my waist to my hip and to my thigh, keeping my leg around him, the kiss getting more and more heated. We pulled away quickly hearing a knock at the door. Phil got up and mumbled an apology to me before going to answer the door, I sat quickly, hearing a familiar voice. It was Alex. I heard mumbling and Phil just sounding annoyed with him. This went on for a moment before Phil walked back.

"Alex and the boys wanted to go out and asked if we wanted to come along. Is that okay with you?" Phil asked.

I wasn't comfortable around Alex, I got a bad vibe from him and something about him just made me uncomfortable, but I didnt want to say anything to Phil. I just nodded in agreement and grabbed Phil's hand, kissing his cheek. "Sure! Sounds like fun!" And with that we left.
