My Guy!

Chapter 8

The next day!

"Ouch!" I heard someone say in pain. I slowly opened my eyes and sat up. I stretched and turned around and saw Sal hoping on one foot.
"You okay?" I asked him.
"Sorry, Em. I didn't mean to wake you! I just stubbed my toe!" He explained, clenching onto his foot. He then walked over to me.
"You okay?" He asked me, placing his hand on my forehead.
"Yeah" I replied.
"You fell asleep last night, so I thought to just leave you there" Sal explained. I nodded. I looked down to the ground, noticing Sal wearing his sneakers.
"Wearing shoes in the house?!" I joked. He laughed.
"I made an exception so I could see you" he replied.
"Are you off somewhere?" I asked.
"Yeah, work" he replied.
"Should I go?" I asked.
"No no, stay here. There's dvds over there and food, make yourself at home and treat yourself" he said, kissing my forehead.
"Bye" I said with a laugh.
He kissed me once again and left.
"Bye babe" Sal said as he just left.
'Did he call me babe?' I thought to myself.

Sal's POV
'Did I call her babe?' I thought. How did that even happen?! My feelings for Emily were growing stronger. But whenever I tried to ask her out, k would always get shy. Like yesterday, I couldn't even tell her I loved her!

I drove into work thinking about Emily and wether to ask her out or not. But as soon as I saw Murr, I tried not to think about it.
"Hey bud" Murr greeted me.
"Sal, your late and your up first!" Q told me with a laugh.
"Yeah, sorry about that. And okay!" I replied.

I went out to the shop where we were filming. I could hear the guys mumbling ideas in my earpiece.
"Right Sal, go up to that women" Joe told me. I walked up to the girl he was on about and began to make light conversation as I waited for instructions.
"And ask her out!" Q told me. I heard the guys laughing in my ear.
"He won't do this!" Murr said. I was so nervous.
'Just think about Emily!' I thought to myself. I closed my eyes and pictured Emily and let the words roll off my tongue.

"Will you go out with me please! I'm crazy about you. Your perfect in every way and I think I'm in love with you. I know that sounds bizarre and I didn't even think you could fall in love this quickly, but I guess you can. I love you!" I said. I opened up my eyes and saw the women looked very confused. In my earpiece there was silence.
"What?!" The three guys said at once.
"Where did that come from?!" Murr joked. I felt my cheeks burning red with embarrassment. Behind me I saw a crew member come out with a release form. The women was relieved when she found out it was for the show.

I ran back to the monitor, ready for the jokes to be made.
"Where did that come from?" Joe asked, with Murr and Q looking at me too.
I remained silent in embarrassment.

After we finished filming we got told about our tour. We were leaving for six months. I guess now wouldn't be the best time to ask Em out.

****
When I got home I saw a note from Emily
Went home, see ya soon and thanks for letting me stay, Emily xxx

I couldn't bare to tell her in person that I was leaving so I decided to text her. 

Sal: hey Em, I'm leaving tonight for tour. The tour is six months long, so I'll see you in six months xxx

Emily's POV
I got home and turned on my phone, but it died straight away. I didn't bother to charge it yet. I was planning on going over Sal's tomorrow.

8pm
Sal's POV
I never got a text back from Emily which made me quite sad. I didn't have any time to go over and say goodbye so I had to go. Murr was picking me up.

We were driving to the airport, and I kept checking my messages.
"What's up?" Murr asked. I hesitated to answer but I needed advice.
"A girl. She's been ignoring my texts" I said to him.
"Then forget about her!" Murr told me.
'Maybe I should?...' I thought.
