One Call Away (Charlie Puth Story)

Part 3

*CHARLIE*

I can't believe I just said it.

I just told Emily I love her.

I don't know if I even need her answer.

I must make her day worse.

I bet she has it more complicated now.

But hey, the day has changed.

...

And she hangs up.

***

It's been two weeks after the call that night.

I never know I'd be such a stalker but this time I'd really like to meet her again.

By the help of some friends, I got to get Elisa's number to ask where her cousin had been all this time.

She was surprised to know that Emily and I had known each other.

I guess Emily never told anything about me to her.

I know it.....

But good to hear her telling me I could go to the beach this Sunday morning if I really want to see her.

Which means, today.

So I call up some friends to go with me.

Am I such a creep?

Well, I don't care.

***

I don't know why I become this clumsy but the reasons which forced me to meet Emily are all gone now and leave me nervous when I am finally here.

I don't even dare to call when my eyes catch her figure sitting there with her friends.

I swear I wish I can just go home like now.

But thanks God, this is so rad, what a life I have today!

One of the girl in the group sees my presence and everyone turns around to see me.

I don't know how I look like right now. I feel my face burning.

Especially when Emily also turns around to see me and gets up straight away.

And she walks up towards my direction.

I directly look away pretending not to see her.

But then she calls my name and my friends start booing at me.

"Woo-hoo, nice one boy!"

"Whoop! Blondies!"

"I rate 11 from 10!"

My friends are making me uncomfortable.

I have no other choice but just come to her or she'd hate me forever for shaming her by leaving.

We walk a bit just to make sure my friends won't hear us right here.

"So, Elisa said you were looking for me." she starts.

I swear to God I fucking don't know what to say now.
