Part 8

 *3 days later*

 *Astons point of view*

‘Are you actually planning on partaking in this meeting?...’ Marvin huffed

‘What…sorry?’ I stuttered

‘Ast seriously…you’ve got it bad…’

 ‘Got what?...’ I swallowed hard

‘You know what…your thinking about Amelia arnt you?’ he smiled

‘how did you know…’ I said ‘I mean….pft…no…’

 ‘seriously…you have her number…just text her…’ he giggled

‘but I don’t want to seem too keen..ive only just met her…’

 ‘Ast its been 3 days…hardly like it’s the day after…just text her…ask her out for coffee or something…’ he smiled. Marvin was always good with relationship advice, as the only married one in the band, I turned to him a lot for his opinions; I’d been single for a long time now and I was ready for a relationship…I just needed to find the right girl for me…and I wondered whether I could have that with Amelia…so I did what he suggested…texting her…

*5 hours later*

‘She’s still not text back…’ I huffed sat in a promo meeting

‘Ast….she’ll text you back…just give it time…’ Marvin smiled

 *Amelia’s point of view*

 That night the boys invited us to the gig and the after party seemed a whole world away now, I was back on twelve and a half hour shifts and running round like a headless chicken, my normal routine really.

 Soon enough, another one of my work mates had come to relieve me from my duties so I could go on my lunch break, a lunch break that happened to be at 6pm because I’d been so busy all day.

‘So have you heard much from lover boy…’ Sara giggled

‘Don’t be silly…and no…not since the other day when he phoned…’ I smiled getting my phone out of bag and turning it on

‘Ah well….theres still time…’ she winked

 *Buzz Buzz*

‘as if by magic…’ she cackled in the staff canteen

‘Oh shush…’ I laughed opening the text ‘it might not even be from him…’

 ‘well….is it…’ she said peering over my shoulder as I remained silent, reading the text

 *Hey Amelia…I was just wondering …maybe you’d like to grab that coffee we talked about…are you free tomorrow? Ast x*

‘Well…what dya say…’ she laughed ‘im psychic….what does it say?…’

 ’He wants to meet up for coffee on Friday…’ I smiled to myself

‘Well…you have to accept…your not on shift Friday are you?...’

 ‘No but im on Thursday nights…’ I sighed

‘So tell him late afternoon?....'

 ‘Sara im not sure about this..’ I worried

‘What! Don’t be stupid….go for it’

 ‘Really?’

 ‘Yes!’

I debated for a few minutes before deciding to text him back…

*Hey Ast, yeah im free Friday and would love to, but could it be late afternoon as im working nights Thursday? X*

‘All done…just got to wait for a reply now’ I smiled tucking into my food

 In a matter of seconds my phone had already received another text, putting the passcode in I soon realised it was a reply from Aston…

*Yeah course, you know that little coffee shop outside blackwaters studio’s? say 5pm?*

‘Jesus that was fast…bet he’s been waiting by his phone’ Sara laughed as I text back

 *Yeah sounds good, see you then x*

‘all done?’

 ‘Yeah…im meeting him on Friday’ I said as the smile grew wider and wider on my face…little butterflies in my stomach…why was I feeling like this over a coffee date? I wasn’t the type of girl to fall easily…it took a lot to let someone into my life and trust them…but I just had a good feeling about Aston…

still a bit slow but its getting better soon :)
