Ill Protect You - Sam Callahan

Chapter Four

Groaning, I shuffled to that shower, letting the warm water trickle down my body. Humming to myself as I scrubbed myself with mint body wash and rinsed my hair clean with shampoo and conditioner

I then twisted the shower handle, cutting the water off and stepped out, drying myself and changing into light blue topshop jeans and a cream loose cami top.

I tiptoed past Tamera and Luke, who we're cuddling on her bed. Actually, they were spooning....

Deciding against blow drying my hair, I quietly grabbed my straighteners from my bedside table, careful not to wake Giles. I couldn't help notice how cute he looks asleep, which is why I snapped a quick picture of him and resumed to my hair straightening

I let out a sigh of relief when I was done, placed my room key in my bag along with my phone and set of down the hallway, and jumping into a black cab, which arrived at the studios just 10 minutes later

"Thank you!" I handed the man my money, and stepped out the cab, where I could see Nicole waiting for me inside

"Hey Darling!" She sang, greeting me with a hug

"I'm great! How about you?"

"I'm Jahmazing" She laughed, grabbing my hand and running towards door labelled 'Studio B'

I jumped on the sofa, but ended up falling of the other side

"Owww" I groaned, holding my shoulder which I landed on

Nicole chuckled "Right, we have work to do!"

2 hours later I had been awarded with a break, since we had already chosen the song Shouldn't Come Back by Demi Lovato. I feel like I can relate to that song, it's about my dad. His release date is coming up and I'm so scared he might be able to relocate us, since we moved when he was arrested for child abuse. My heart broke at the slight possibility that he might go for Sophia since Brandon is now grown up and could fight back.

"Here's your coffee, one sugar right?" Nicole handed me the steaming cup

"Right" I nodded, accepting the tea and thanking her

Nicole flicked through an OK! Magazine, I didn't think celebrities read about other celebrities?

"Ooh! This is interesting!" She giggled, handing me the page she was looking at

There were two pictures printed on the page, one of me and Sam holding hands, I recognised the onesies we were wearing that it must have been taken yesterday. The other picture was of his arm wrapped around my waist, we were both smiling. If we were going out if would have been a really cute picture...

The headline was

Esme and Sam this years XFactor Romance?

"Ohmygod" I sighed, handing her the magazine

"Spill" she laughed, placing it on the glass table

"It's nothing! Just friends" I confirmed

"Look at you! You're blushing!" She sang "You like him!"

"I do not!" I squealed, my cheeks were burning

I guess I did kind of like Sam, but I audition the XFactor to sing, not date

"Hmm, I don't believe you! By the looks of this picture he likes you too!" She smirked

"It was cold! And bes-" I was cut off my sentence by Sharon walking through the door and taking a seat next to me

"Who likes who?" Sharon questioned, gosh the walls must be thin

"Esme like Sam! Esme likes Sam!" Nicole chanted, I buried my face in my hands

"Aww I think they would be such a cute little couple!" Sharon commented

"Can we change the subject?" I moaned, still tomato red

"Okay okay, enough is enough. Let's get back to work"

..........................................................................................

My phone bleeped on my bed, revealing a text from Sam

(S-Sam, E-Esme)

S "Have you finished rehearsals yet? Xx"

E "Yep, hbu? Xx"

S "Same, Meet me in the Lounge? Xx"

E "Sure, see you in five xx"

S "Okay"

E "No kisses? Xx"

S "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"

E "Thats better xx"

(End of Convocation)

I headed to the lift, pressing the ground floor button and leaning against the wall

I couldn't stop thinking about Sam, I just can't understand what I feel about him

'DING' I was snapped from my thoughts as the doors swung open

"Hey" Sam greeted me, putting his phone in his pocket

"Are we the only contestants that have finished rehearsing?" I questioned, jumping on one of the cream massive sofas, this time without falling off

"Nah, Kingsland Road are coming in a minute" He took a seat next to me, pulling my legs so they were draped over his

Speaking of them, the five boys bounced in

"Well Well Well, if it isn't Sesme!" Matt laughed, sitting on top of Jay

"Who's Sesme?" I asked, pulling a confused face

"It's you're ship name!" Thompson explained,

Oh god, it's not just the magazines that think we're dating
