Torn...

Chapter 22

The Night:
It was just gone six, when my mum dropped me home. Me and Sal were going out at six, and usually he would've texted me, but tonight he didn't. I thought it was strange at first but i presumed he was getting ready. I unlocked the door to see Joe, Q and Murr and Sal sat in a circle in the living room. Their eyes darted up to mine as soon as i walked in and i saw Sal quickly place something in his pocket, with a face like he's seen a ghost.
"You okay?" I asked him with a laugh. He turned to Joe
"Yeah" Sal stuttered. "Don't you need to get changed?" Sal asked to get the attention away from him.
"Yep" i replied.

I ran upstairs and got into my black dress with heels. I put on my makeup: mascara, peach lip- stick; eye shadow etc. I done my hair in loose curls, but left it down. I slipped into my black heels and aw the time was 6:25, so i walked down stairs. I got into the living room. The us turned around.
"Wow" Q muttered. Murr smiled at me and Joe told me i looked nice. Sal, who was wearing a tux, gelled hair, came up to me and kissed me.
"You look gorgeous" Sal whispered to me.
"You dont look tooo bad yourself" I replied with a laugh. I turned around to see Joe, Q and Murr all watching and smiling.
"Lets go" Sal said to me.
We decided to take a nice long walk to the restaurant today.
We arrived in the restaurant. I could sense a feeling of nervousness from Sal. As we waited in line for our table I held his hand.
"Babe, are you okay?" I asked him.
Out of nowhere he kissed me (which was odd for Sal to do in public just in case his fans popped up) and replied
"Im better now. Do you know how much i love you?" Sal asked me.
"A lot" i replied with a smirk.
"More than anything in the world" he replied to me, giving me another kiss. The waitress came over and led us to our table. We were sat next to the window, with a night sky and lights from the city. It was a truly beautiful sight... especially with Sal opposite me.

As we ordered the desserts i could see a level of nervousness building up in him. I still didn't know why. Suddenly he reached his hand across the table to reach with mine. I gave him a soft smile as he got out his phone.
"I just need to take a call" Sal said as he walked behind a plant in he restaurant

He rang Joe who put Sal on speaker as the other guys were in the room too
"I cant do it" Sal said in a panic.
"Why?" Q asked.
"What do i even say?" Sal asked.
"Just say how much you love her, then ask the question"Murr replied.
"What if she says no!" Sal asked.
"She wont. Now hurry!" Joe said as he hung up.

Sal came back over to the table and sat on his chair. I could tel he was thinking of something. However suddenly he knelt down on one knee and said
"Em.. I over yo more than anything in this  world. Without you- i dont know who i am. Your the best thing to ever happen to me. No matter what we say or do, we love each other. Ive known you for two years, and they have been the best yeas of my life.you are the most gorgeous, beautiful, kin, caring, sweet, funniest girl ive ever known. I will spend everyday of the rest of my life loving you, treating you like royalty and to be the best... husband i can be. Emily, will you marry me?" Sal asked.
