Irish Charm

Chapter 4

Marcus told the guy behind the counter what we wanted to order while I just stood there eyeing up my favourite member of my favourite band. Jay McGuiness. He turned round and smiled at me which made me blush and look away. Marcus was finished ordering our food so he put an arm around me and we walked back to the table. I still had a smile on my face because I was having a great day but Jay just turned back around. I say at my table and as they walked passed us, Jay smiled at me again and I melted. That sat in the booth behind me which meant that I couldn't see them but they could see me. I carried on talking to Marcus as usual and sipping my drink, which we had gotten before we came to the table. Marcus stopped sipping his drink to tell me something.

"Jay McGuiness keeps staring at you" he said trying to make it not so obvious.

"What? Really?"

"Yeah"

"Is he looking now?" I asked

"Yes" Marcus replied. He knew that I loved Jay so he was teasing me.

"What should I do?" I asked

"Pretend you're on a date with me and he'll get jealous and come over"

"That won't work" I said.

"Yes it will. Just do it. Hold my hand" he said putting his hand on the table.

"Fine. Whatever" i joined my hand with his and interlocked our fingers. We smiled at eachother

"This is stupid" I said quietly so they couldn't hear

"But it's working" Marcus replied

"How do you know?"

"I'm a guy. I know how guys work"

"Are you sure your not gay?" I joked

"Girl please" he said doing the hand thing. We started laughing at him then our food arrived. We ate and talked about how good the food was.

"I'm going for a piss, I bet you he comes over" Marcus said.

"I bet he don't" I replied. He winked at me and walked to the toilet. I carried on eating like usual but I felt slightly paranoid. A fork flew by my foot and it came from The Wanteds table. So they choose this move? I laughed to myself. I picked up the fork and took it over to them.

"You dropped this" I said

"Thanks" Tom replied take it back. I turned around to go back to my table but Max stopped me.

"Aren't you Emily Horan?" He asked

"Yeah. How did you know?" I was flattered that they knew who I was.

"We love your videos. Especially Jay" he teased. Jay kicked him under the table so I chuckled a bit and said thanks.

"I'm a fan of yours too... Especially Jay" I winked back then walked away. I sat down at my table and wondered what was taking Marcus so long.

"Ahem" someone cleared their throat behind me. I turned around to see that is was Jay.

"Can i, uh um. Get your number?" He asked shyly

"Sure" I smiled "got a pen?"

"Uh no" he chuckled

"That's fine. Gimme your phone" I said

"Are you sure Marcus won't mind?" He asked

"Why would he? We're just friends" I laughed, taking his phone. I put my number in and saved it.

"Oh. I uh thought.. Nevermind" he said accepting his phone back. We talked really quickly then Marcus came back and I sad bye to jay.

"Took your time" I chuckled

"Told ya he'd come over" he said to me

"Actually I went over there first" I laughed. I told him all about it while we ate the rest of our food. I had a big smile on my face hen I told him the part about jay being a fan of mine and an extra big smile when I said about him wanting my number.
