Unexpected

Chapter 3

Simon

It had been about a week since I had met Sarah. I didn't think much about the situation, but what had me stuck on her was that she mentioned Tobi. Now I'm not absolutely certain if she was talking about him, but I wouldn't mind if she were. That would mean I would get to see her again.

"I loved when she hugged me" I quickly got rid of the thought. How could I think that of a person I just met? I went downstairs and into the kitchen trying to avoid the recording session that Josh and Tobi were doing. I couldn't get her out of my head. And I loved her name. "Sarah" I chuckled.

"What? Who's Sarah?" Tobi asked, quite confused.

"Shit, that wasn't in my head was it?" I tried playing it cool, but knew that they would soon catch on.

"Nope." Josh quickly responded. I quickly darted upstairs hoping that they would forget about that whole incident.

It had been a few days after me blurting Sarah's name out loud in front of the guys. I was also hoping that they had forgotten about it because I didn't want to be teased about it.

'Ding'

I heard my phone go off multiple times, several twitter notifications. I reached for my iPhone seeing that a lot of fans were talking about Josh's and Tobi's latest video. I had no idea why it was so important to that fans that I watch it. Some had even given me a specific time to watch, but I watched the entire video.

I felt my jaw drop. I couldn't believe Tobi would edit that into his video. What I didn't know when I was downstairs on that day I that their mic had picked up everything I said. But only a few people recognized my voice in the background. I really hope that that girl doesn't watch Tobi's videos, because I would die if she found out I liked her. Wait what?! I don't like her, I couldn't. I had to keep her out of my brain. She was tearing me apart.

I called Tobi, trying to see if he thought it was funny to leave that in the video.

Tobi: "You good mate?"

I could hear the laughter in his voice. He must have found my torture amusing.

Simon: "Oh you think this is funny, do you?

Tobi: "I don't know what you're talking about."

Simon: "Tobi."

Tobi: "Okay, okay. Simon I had to. It was just too funny to leave out of the video!"

Simon: "Tobi, you know how I feel about this kind of stuff."

Tobi: "So who is she?"

Simon: "Uuhhh... I gotta go."

I hung up the phone not wanting him to think that I found someone. I mean, I couldn't like her, I had only just met her. Plus, she has a friend named Tobi, and the possibilities of me ever seeing her again rattles my brain. And I wouldn't want to ruin my friendship with Tobi. So, I had to play it cool, keeping it on the down-low.

The boys had plans for going out tonight, but I didn't know if I wanted to leave the house. I was still a little shaken up by Tobi's video, and I wouldn't want to run into fans asking about it. The last thing I wanted to do was think about it. But then again, I didn't sound rude, like I was trying to separate myself from the boys. I would love to go with them, but the chances of someone bringing it up were quite likely. But as people say, you have to take risks.

I changed into some nicer clothes, unaware of where we planned on going tonight. I thought I should wear something not fancy, but also something that wasn't too casual. After taking a few minutes to decide what to wear, I just figured 'hell with it' and put on my black RASCAL sweats and a Sidemen hoodie. I felt that I needed to drive myself instead of going in one of the group cars, just in case things got heated and I needed to leave. But I had high hopes, that maybe tonight would be better than expected.

I followed Josh as he drove some of the others and I suddenly realized which direction we were heading. I knew the route Josh took to our favorite restaurant, so I followed with ease. And soon enough, we ended up at Nandos. We sat down and ate like the friends we were, until Ethan had to ruin the moment.

"So who's Sarah?" Ethan said, the rest of the boys 'ooh-ing'. I felt myself blush but quickly shook it off.

"I don't know what you're talking about." I tried my hardest to sound serious, but a small smirk appeared on my lips, and I tried to cover my face with my hands, but it was quite useless. I could hear all the guys start to freak out, wishing that Tobi wasn't recording that day.

"Looks like Simon met someone" Ethan bit his lip and wriggled his eyebrows. "Just promise whoever this 'Sarah' is doesn't get in the way of Emon please." His laugh followed the comment. When Ethan said Sarah's name I glanced at Tobi who lit up. I think me and Sarah were closer to each other than either of us thought.

"I don't want to talk about it" I said, the smile disappearing. Everyone agreed and dropped the subject, which was weird because they always like to tease me. I would have loved to keep talking with them, but my brain just blocked them out. I just couldn't stop thinking about her, and I think Tobi noticed.
