PLAYLIST: LITTLE THINGS BY ONE DIRECTION

"I won't let these little things slip out of my mouth

But if it's true, it's you, it's you, they add up to

I'm in love with you and all these little things"

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Emilia's POV

"so did you have a great time talking to him?" Martha said she can't stop asking me questions about him a day has passed and she can't even stop asking me

"well as I told you Martha I've enjoyed his company and now I'm readying to have a bonding time with Mark later" I said while washing some plates and cups

"oh that young man is so nice too Em would you want to date him?" I stopped and looked at her

"Martha I didn't even know if he likes me like that and besides I don't think he will take interest in me and I don't think I'm ready for dating thing yet" I said while finishing up washing the cups and plates the coffee shop was full today which is a good thing Martha is really making an effort in making new pastries like banana bread, croissants and strawberry cake

"whatever you say dear but have fun later okay? But not too much fun it's a Wednesday night we need you bright and early for tomorrow" she said while I got out of the kitchen I just yelled an 'okay' to her and went to the counter and saw Joe busy making some coffee and latte's

"hey Joe how are you doing?" I said while putting the lattes that are finished in a tray

"I'm fine and you can leave work early we can handle this " he said while finishing making the last beverage

"No it's okay mark will be picking me up here so no worries" I said and went on to the costumers distributing the beverages and I think back about Sam as you we're thinking I still didn't receive a text from him and I don't plan on being the one who text him first I was just too shy to send him a text you know maybe he will show up again in the coffee shop then my brain went to mark maybe I should tell him what I really feel? France can't make it because she and Ian her boyfriend will be having their date night and I don't want to intervene in their time and it will be awkward for me and Mark as I finished handing out the beverages I went back to the counter and opened my phone

'Ready for later? I will be picking you up at 5:30 or maybe 6?' Mark texted which I replied with an okay and see you later I won't lie I'm devastated that Sam is not still sending me a text but enough of that now I still have a problem about professing my love to mark or my little crush on him

I texted france about my plan on telling mark what I feel taking risks.

'Am I making the right decision?'

'duh? You're making the greatest decision in your life' she said and I just sighed and returned my phone back inside my bag why do I feel like a high school girl ugh I hate this feeling but I have to but then again I have to do this as Erica said Ashton wanted me to be happy and I will be happy

A few hours has pass and a few minutes Mark will be here and we will be going out I am so nervous and at the same time confident even if mark will not return what I feel the good thing is I get this thing off my chest and that's fine I can do this

"why don't you take some strawberry cake on your little date with mark?" Martha said as I was fixing myself Joe heard what she said and looked at me Joe is also overprotective of me like my dad

"A date now?" Joe asked

"No it's not a date it's a friendly night out" I said while taking the cake that Martha has already put in a box "you know france will be jealous that you have given us cake right?"
