Fallen into you...

Chapter 4

Sal and me decided to go out for some lunch to a cafe near the set. He wasn't speaking much and I felt rather awkward if I'm honest. I now knew he fancied me but I wasn't sure if I was ready to go out with him. It had nothing to do with past relationships or him but he was technically my boss and that made it weird. When the waitress asked us what to order Sal just sat there. I felt awful but he could've tried. I kept saying to myself that I should be thankful somebody likes me but for some reason I didn't feel the same.
"Sooo" I began.
He looked up at me sheepishly then looked back down to the table.
"How's the challenge doing?" I asked hoping for a response. Sal took a deep breath and said.
"Good". I huffed in anger as I was hoping for more but I couldn't blame him for hating me right now. I was really rude to him last night.
"You know you deserve better than me.." I said.
"Your right!" He said and left. I saw him outside getting stressed out with tears filling his eyes and it made my heart ache. I went outside and gave him a hug.
"No! You mess with me Kirstie. One minute you hate me then like me. I do like you but if you don't like me just say!" He shouted. I fully understood why. I didn't know if I liked him, but I knew it was wrong for me to give him false hope.
"I'm..not" I said.
His face filled with disappointment as he walked away. I lifted my bag onto my shoulder and went back to set.

That evening I watched a few episodes of jokers. I felt terrible with Sal hating me but I knew that soon he would understand why. I didn't love him and I fancied him a bit but with work, it was too confusing. As I went onto Instagram I saw that Sal had just shared a post. I took a look. He was with a girl and they were hugging. There was no caption.

I was mad even though I didn't understand why. I don't even fancy Sal..or maybe I do! Who was she? A new girlfriend? A friend? I think now I realise I did fancy him after all...
