Shaking my head I try to avoid Ryan’s hot gaze. Let’s not get ahead of ourselves here. For now, lets just enjoy these drinks a glad that he even served us!“ 1 smile, clinking my cup against her as the giggles
The music pulses through the air, and we soon find ourselves on the dance floor, moving to the beat togeth confidence from the first drink.

The carefree atmosphere is infectious, and for a while, I forget about the confusion with Daryl and Vincent and everything that han happened since moving here to town.
ter a few songs, we even decido to try the mechanical bull. Emma goes first, her laughter echoing as she tries to hold on but fis miserably. When it’s my turn, the thrill and challenge of the ride is exhilarating, before I go flying off of the machine in a swift loss.
“You’re a natural!” Emma says sarcastically as I stumble off the padded area, laughing.
Like you were any better!” I retort, as we help one another fix our new messed up, disheveled hair.
We take a moment to catch our breath at our table before we head back to the bar for a refill, finding Ryan who greets us with a knowing smile.
“Back for more already?” he teases, handing us another round of margaritas.
Your drinks are too good to resist,” I reply, enjoying the playful banter between us as Emma just smiles knowingly.

“What is it?” She asks, as I swipe to unlock the messages to read them in full.
Vincent: Are you both ok at the house? Want us to bring you back some dinner? We should be done here in an hour

I recite the first text from Vintent as Emma laughts at the fact he thought we would have just stayed in all night. Little did he know we would be capable of going out and finding our own fun without fem!
I quickly respond: Hey, we are good thanks! We went out for drinks but we are only a fifteen minute walk away from your place. We will see you when we get back!
Next, I click to open Daryl’s test, which sends a flood of guilt through me.

Crap!
“Why didn’t he compliment you when he first saw it!” Emmi groans, sinod in agreement but appreciate the comment nonetheless.

I knew that Reid had shown an interest in her last weekend but he had been a complete asside to me at the bar the other night.
I’m sorry Sofiat He’s just… different with me… he’s been texting me since the party! I don’t know what he has against your Emma sighs, having clearly not wanted to tell me about them both texting which I was more hurt about.
Emma look, I get it, you like him and he likes you. I just wish you would have told me! I want to know all of your boy troubles the same way I tell you about mine even if yours does involve Reid. You can’t help if he treats you better than he treated me…” decide to put my differences with h him aside, knowing that I certainly didn’t want a divide to develop between myself and Emma
It must suck to be in her shoes, finally liking a guy but having to hide it….
“You’re right, and I’m so sorry, I was going to tell you, and I even confronted him on the phone about what he did to you at the bar and he assured me that he planned to apologise. I was going to wait until after he did before I told you about it… Emma s eyes plead with mine, evidently worried about whether or not I would be upset with her.
“Seriously it’s ok. Please don’t worry. I know about it now and if your happy, then I’m happy.” I nod in final confirmation, visibly seeing her shoulders relax at my words.
“You’re the best, Sofia!” Emma says, pulling me into a quick hug. “Now, let’s try to just enjoy the rest of our night.”
We raise our margaritas in a toast and take a long sip, the tangy sweetness mixing perfectly with the shots we’d just downed. The music shifts to a faster beat, and we find ourselves drawn back to the dance floor, losing ourselves in the rhythm.
We swing our hips and copy some of the dancers who seem to know what they are doing to each song – proving themselves to be keen regulars.
“Mind if we join you? We turn to find Ryan the bartender and another guy who was working the bar, as he moves behind Emma and Ryan gravitates towards me.
I nod and continue to dance, allowing for him to move behind me, feeling a little wilder than usual as he holds my hips and grinds
I’m blaming the alcohol for this!
“Shouldn’t you be pouring drinks?” I giggle, as he grins down at me and leans into my ear.
*I’m off now, finished my shift early and I couldn’t leave without properly getting to know you.” He purts, as we continue to dance and move together in a careless motion.
