The Next Morning:
I woke up the next morning, in the same place I fell asleep- in Sal's arms. He was already awake, checking his phone.
"Morning" I said, slowly sitting up.
"Morning" he said with a smile. "I didn't mean to stay overnight, it's just we both fell asleep, then I woke up pretty early and you looked beautiful and.." Sal said.
"It's fine" I said with a warm smile. "I'm just gonna have a quick shower and get changed" I told him.
"Okay, am I allowed to stick around a bit longer?" Sal asked.
"Definitely" I replied. "Help yourself to whatever!" I told him as I ran upstairs.

Sal wondered in the kitchen and looked through a few cupboards for food. As he was looking, my sister- Gemma, let herself in. (We were pretty close and she comes and go's as she pleases, as she has a key to my place). Sal turned around, oblivious to her presence, and jumped. When I say jumped... I mean scream.
"WHO ARE YOU?" Sal shouted.
Gemma looked at him quite confused.
"Who are you?" Gemma asked.
At this point, I heard shouting so I came downstairs, in my towel.
"Sal?" I asked as I walked round the corner. I saw Gemma and Sal stood there staring at each other until their eyes glanced towards me.
"I was stood here until this stranger crept up behind me!" Sal said, quite shaken up after being so scared. I walked over to him and held his hand and laughed at him.
"I'm glad me being frightened makes you so happy" Sal joked.
"Sal, this is Gemma, my sister" I told him. They both smiled and shook hands.
"I came over just to see if you wanted to go for lunch this afternoon! But if your busy.." she said looking at Sal. "Is this your boyfriend?" She asked.
"I'm just gonna go get my phone" Sal said to avoid awkwardness. He shut the door.

Sal's POV
I closed the door and listened for her answer
"No.. not yet. I really fancy him but it doesn't seem right asking him out even as I've only known him a few days" Emily said.
"Ooo" Gemma sang.
Hearing Emily say she liked me, made a smile grow on my face. Suddenly the doorbell rang. I thought as she was talking, I'd answer it... wha a mistake that was when I saw who it was...
