Promises...

Chapter 7

We were stood under the moonlight, stars above.  The butterflies in my stomach were insane. He was slowly leaning in for a kiss. Sal leaned closer and planted the quickest kiss ever! Hardly touching my lips. I looked behind me to see a light switched on in Q's house, and i could tell Sal was scared if Q saw. I was about to try and kiss him again, but the front door opened to reveal Q.
"I thought i heard voices" Q said.
"Uh.. I walked Alesha home.." Sal stuttered, revealing his nerves.
"Yeah" i said, avoiding eye contact with Sal.
"Are you both going to that concert tomorrow?" Q asked, which made me and Sal feel uncomfortable- after Sal attempting to kiss me.
"I think so. Right Alesha?" Sal asked.
"Yep" i said to him, still looking at the ground.
"Well, I guess Sal will pick you up?" Q asked, looking at Sal. Sal just nodded. "Great" Q replied with a smile.
"Im really tired, so I'll just.." i stuttered walking in the house. Q soon followed me in and shown me into my room.
"Are you and Sal in an argument?" Q began.
"No" i replied.
"It seemed quite awkward" Q said.
"Probably just because we have only just seen each other again" i lied. Q nodded which meant he believed it.

*****
The next morning i woke up to the feeling of Q nudging me.
"Whattt?" I whined, covering a pillow over my face, which Q immediately removed.
"Sal is on his way to pick us up!" Q said.
"To go to work. I said you would go with me" Q said.
"Why?" I asked.
"Because it will give you and the guys time to catch up" Q explained. It was. Fair point.
"Fine" i said, getting out of bed. "Ill be ready soon" i said as he left.

25 minutes later...
"Im ready!" I said, walking down the stairs in my white hoodie and leggings.
"Finally. Sal has been waiting for ten minutes" Q said, opening the front door.

We walked to Sals car. I sat at the back, behind Sal, and Q sat next to Sal. I got my headphones on, and played them full blast whilst Q and Sal talked.
"She hasn't changed much" Sal said to Q, noticing me with my headphones.
"Still annoying" Q joked, with a hint of annoyance.
"But cute" Sal whispered.
"What?" Q asked not hearing what he said.
"I didn't say anything" Sal lied, smiling to himself.
When we arrived, Sal parked the car. Q got out and began waking with Murr who has just arrived too. Sal opened the door for me with a smile. I stepped out of the car and walked slowly with Sal. We were quite a bit behind from Q. We didnt really speak. But I looked down to see Sal's hand hovering over mine, in a way asking to hold it. I moved my hand closer to his and held it. We locked hands. We both smiled to ourselves, but didn't look at each other. It was quite cute. As soon as we reached their monitor where they were filming we both let go- so no one would see.
As the guys took their turns i just stood by the monitor watching. When it was Sal's turn- i kept laughing which was definitely noticed by Q. He presumed it was just because i was a fan of the show.

Soon after, the guys went on their lunch break. They all sat on stools in the back room, whilst most of the crew left.
"Lets play a game"Joe suggested. The guys passed him a confused look. "What? Im bored" Joe explained.
"Okay then" Sal replied.
"Truth or dare??" Q suggested.
"Okay. And Alesha can play too" Murr added. I nodded.
"Right, Q first" Sal said. "Truth or dare?" Sal asked.
"Dare" he answered.
"When we film afterwards, you cant say no" Sal said, not revealing his full plan.
"Okay.." Q answered, quite intrigued.
"Alesha's turn" Joe said.
"Truth" i answered.
"Have you ever fancied one of us? If so, who?" Joe asked.
"Uhh...  i used to fancy Sal when i was like sixteen" i said. I looked up at Sal who was blushing.
"Oooo" the all sung apart from sal.
"Sals turn. Truth or dare?" Murr asked.
"Truth" Sal answered quietly.
"Have you ever fancied Alesha??" Murr asked.
"Well..." Sal began. I was intrigued for his answer.......
