The next day, Sal was in bed. He had gotten up late the night before and went to his bed. He replied to Joe and Murr before getting into bed. Sal stared up at the ceiling for a while. He wasn't sure if he wanted to get up or not, but he remembered that they have to do some filming so he had to get up. Plus he would get to see Brian. He was scared and nervous to see him. Would Brian talk to him? Would he even look at him? Well he had said he would talk to him later before he left. Sal sighed as he got up and went to take a quick shower. After he got out, he dried off then put the towel around his waist. He sighed deeply as he looked at himself in the mirror. He ran his hands through his hair a couple of times then brushed his teeth. After he put deodorant on, he went to his closet and looked for a shirt to wear. Sal scratched his head in thought. Soon he saw a shirt that Brian loved on him. He licked his lips and wondered if he should wear it for Brian, but he probably wouldn't care so he just got a blue shirt and put it on then got his boxers and shorts on. Lastly he styled his hair which was having it gelled to the side. He got his phone and saw it was almost 9:30 AM. He sent a quick text to Joe asking where they were filming then went to the kitchen to get breakfast. Joe texted him back saying "go to the office first". Sal put his phone in his pocket then ate a quick breakfast. After he finished he got into his car and drove to the office.
Brian got up around 8 A.M. He had woken up around 7, but stayed in bed for a while. He checked his phone and saw a message from Joe saying "go to the office." Brian took a quick shower then got ready for the day. He went to the closet and got the "TESD" shirt, put it on then got his boxers and pants on. He grabbed his phone then went to have a quick breakfast that his mom had cooked. "Good morning," he said when he saw his parents. "Morning," they said. Brian sat down and his mom gave him a plate of food. "Thanks ma," He said. "Welcome. How did you sleep?" she asked. Brian looked at his mom. His dad was reading a newspaper. "It was good. Had a hard time sleeping because I keep on thinking about my problems, ya know, but eventually I fell asleep," he said then took a bite of his eggs. His mom nodded then sat down when she got her food. "I got to leave soon to go to the office," Brian said then took a sip of his orange juice. "Alright," his mom said. His dad looked over at him as he put the paper down. "Are you and Sal going to be okay today?" He asked. Brian looked over at his dad. "Um...I think so. Might have to team up with him though which is fine," he said and ate a piece of bacon. After breakfast, Brian said bye to his parents then grabbed his keys and went to his jeep. He knew that he had a long way to go. Brian didn't mind the drive. He got on the road to Manhattan.
Sal got to the office around 11 AM. He got into the elevator alone then pressed the button "15". Sal got his cell out and looked at the wallpaper of him and Brian together at the beach. He smiled then sighed. He missed Brian so much. He hated to be alone in the bed. He had nobody to cuddle with and Brian let Sal do that even when he didn't like it, but didn't mind Sal doing it. Sal hung his head and took a deep breath then exhaled slowly. He closed his eyes as he covered them. He didn't want to cry. Not here. Not now. Sal took deep breaths to calm down. He wiped his eyes before the doors opened on floor 15. He put his phone away as he stepped out of the elevator then went to his office. He put his green bag down on the ground by his desk then sat down. Suddenly Joe came by. "Meeting room bud," he said. Sal looked over at him. "Okay. Hey is Q here?" he asked. Joe shook his head. "Not yet. Murr is though," he replied. "Okay," Sal said then got up and followed Joe to the room. He brought his bag with him. Murr looked over at Sal and Joe when they entered the room. "Hey Sal," he said. "Hey," Sal said and sat down then got out his laptop from his bag. He placed it on the table then got some sanitizer. Joe sat down in front of his laptop and glanced over at Sal. "How are you doing?" he asked. Sal looked at Joe. "I'm okay. Just tired," he replied. Joe nodded and got back to working. Murr looked over at Sal. "Have you talked to Brian?" he asked. Sal looked over at Murr and sighed. "No I have not," he replied. "Oh. Might today though," Murr said. Sal raised an eyebrow and nodded. He knew that he and Brian would have to communicate during filming. He didn't mind. He wasn't sure if he and Brian would team up. Murr also nodded then got back to his laptop. Sal took a deep breath and exhaled loudly then got back to work on his laptop as they waited for Brian.
Brian got on to I-78 to Manhattan. There was tons of traffic. It was about 9:30 AM when he got to the tunnel. When Brian got out of the tunnel he drove to Broad Street. He looked at the time. 10:12 AM. He sighed and glanced around then looked in front of him as he got into some more traffic. "Of course more traffic as per usual," he said. He is okay if he is late. Sal is probably late, too. "Sal," Brian whispered then sighed as he got out his cell and looked at the wallpaper of him and Sal. He smiled and closed his eyes as he put his head back on the seat. He still loves Sal and he won't stop loving him. He opened his eyes and continued with the traffic. He sent a quick text to Murr and told him that he'll be late and not to tell Joe or Sal. Murr looked at the text then looked over at Joe. Around 11:10, Brian got to the office. He had to stop to get a bottle of iced tea. He got onto the elevator and pressed 15. He took a sip of his drink as he glanced around the elevator. When he got to the 15th floor, he stepped out and went to the meeting room. "Hey. I'm here guys," he said and looked at Joe, Murr and lastly Sal. They all looked at Brian and nodded. Sal smiled a little bit then looked back at his laptop. Brian frowned a little then said, "Yeah...traffic is bad. Sometimes I wish I can move, but don't want to. I'll die on Staten Island in my bed." He looked at the back of Sal's head then went to sit by Murr. "It's fine Brian," Joe said. Brian nodded as he got out his laptop from his bag. Sal glanced at Brian then back at his laptop. They talked about what they will be doing and where they are going. "Sal will be teaming up with Q," Joe said looking from Brian to Sal who looked at Joe. Brian glanced at Sal then looked over at Joe. "I'm fine with that. Are you Sal?" he asked and looked over at Sal. Murr looked at Sal then at Brian. He doesn't like it when his friends fight or argue for that matter. Sal took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. He looked over at Brian. "It's fine," he said. Brian nodded and looked into Sal's eyes for a moment then looked down. Joe licked his lips then clapped his hands together. "Alright boys. Let's get it," he said then got up from his seat.
