Butterflies - a Ricky Wilson fanfiction

Chapter 3: Drinks

Emily's POV

As the blind auditions were coming to a close, Ricky's team is full of so many talented people.

The weeks following my blind audition I've got to talk to Ricky a lot and I like him than I ever thought I would, a whole lot more.

I couldn't risk telling him how I felt, he wouldn't like me the way I liked him, not a chance.

He has a girlfriend, Lesley. I've never met Lesley and Ricky hardly, if ever, talked about her. But that's his decision.

It was 10.00 am on a Saturday, I was lying in bed, too lazy to get up. My phone started ringing suddenly causing me to have a heart attack.

"Hello" I said sleepily.
"Hi Emily, it's Ricky." I sprang up, heart thumping. I gave Ricky my phone number because he requested that he have all his teams phone numbers so we can keep in touch when we're not rehearsing.

"Oh, um, yes, hi Ricky. How are you?" I said barely able to get my words out. If he knew how I really felt about him, it could ruin my chances of winning the show.

"I'm good thank you, are you okay? You sound croaky" Ricky said sounding worried. "No, no I'm fine, really." I said trying to reassure him.

"Oh okay, that's a relief" Ricky said, his voice sounding hopeful. "I was just wondering, I know this such short notice but I was thinking maybe you and I go out and have drinks together tonight?"

I blushed. I was in ecstasy. "Yeah sure, I would love too." I said quickly, hoping I didn't sound too keen.

"Great. I'll pick you up at seven, is that a good time?" Ricky asked.
"Yeah, it's fine" I was beaming.
"See you then" Ricky said before ending the call.

I was beyond happy. I called Chloe, as I always do when something happens in my life. "This better be good if its worth waking me up and giving me a heart attack for" she barked down the phone.

I laughed. Sometimes I forget how alike me and Chloe are. "Me and Ricky are going for drinks tonight" I said with excitement in my voice.

"WHAT?!?!? WHEN DID THIS ALL HAPPEN??" Chloe screamed.
"He literally just called, he's picking me up at seven" I said.
"We're going shopping, I'll be there in ten" Chloe said, falling off her bed.

She hung up and I was scrambling to get ready on time. As soon as I opened the door she grabbed my arm and yanked me out of my house before I could even say goodbye to my parents.

We spent the next two and a half hours walking around shops looking for the perfect dress and accessories. I don't normally do this, but today was an exception.

I went for this white, knee length dress and a flower headband with white heels. When I got home I had a shower and styled my hair.

I put music on to get me in the mood while I was getting dressed. I thought about Ricky, was he making as much effort as me? Probably not. He's already perfect.

Ricky's POV

As it got nearer to the time I got more and more nervous. I really, really liked Emily and I don't want to mess this up.

I phoned her this morning to arrange it, to be honest I thought she would be busy, I just wanted to hear her voice again.

We've been talking a lot since her blind audition, but we haven't seen each other for a few weeks so I thought I would arrange something.

I really shouldn't be feeling like this, if anyone found out it would ruin her chances of winning the show. She's an angel though, she has imperfections as do I, but her imperfections make her perfect.

I was wearing my best suit with my hair combed back. I got out the car, and walked up to her front door. I took a deep breath an knocked in the door.
