We're all out for drinks. A "Welcome To Boys Club" if you will for Margo. Noah officially asked her to move in which was inevitable.

"Who's round is it now?" I ask looking around the table.

"Dude it's yours." Jolly laughs.

"No fucking way, I just bought." I reply, my voice a little louder than usual.

"Yeah dude, it is." Folio backs up Jolly. I look between the two of them knowing that they're mocking me.

"Nah. The fuck. I'll buy this round if someone else buys shots?" I wriggle my eyebrows at the table. If I'm buying, someone else can too.

"I'll buy y'all shots." I hear Noah say beside me as I stand.

"Good ol' reliable Noah." I joke as we make our way to the bar.

"You good? Yanno after your date?" Noah asks and I nod.

"Yeah actually. I'm good." I reply and we both place orders for the group.

I'm being honest for what seems like the first time in a long time. It's been a few weeks since my date and a few things have happened since which has kept my mind completely occupied.

We've been back in the studio recording. Noah and Margo got followed by fans which was scary for Margo and normal for Noah. She seemed to get pretty spooked and I don't blame her but Noah would never let anything bad happen to her. I haven't heard back from Sadie and I think I've made peace with it. It is what it is.

We take the trays of drink back over to the table and hand them out. I take a seat between Folio and Noah and we all throw back our shots without a second thought.

"Are you having fun?" Noah asks Margo who nods instantly.

"Yeah I'm having a great time. Are you?" She replies and Noah's nodding with a glint in his eye. "Oh my god I love this song." Margo declares as "Perfect" by Mason and Princess Superstar plays. You can tell she's itching to dance but is bopping along instead not wanting to go full out.

"Who doesn't." Noah laughs nodding towards the dance floor as people start to dance. "Do you wanna dance?" He huffs at her making Margo laugh.

"No, it's okay." She replies still looking at the dance floor longingly.

"C'mon I wanna dance." Noah says taking her hand pulling her onto her feet leading the way to the dance floor.

After about a minute Folios standing too.

"You dancing?" Jolly asks and Folios smirks.

"We all are. We can't let them have all the fun. 'Ight Nicholas show us ya moves." Folio replies.

We make our way to the dance floor joining Noah and Margo. We all start fucking about, no one really dancing we're all just taking the piss busting out the goofiest dance moves we can. Margo's already cackling at our antics and when the song changes to "Spice Up Your Life" by the Spice Girls she almost folds over creasing as we all sing along not getting a single word wrong.

Finally the song finishes and I'm ready for another shot.

"More drinks! Who's round is it now?" I declare looking at Margo knowing full well it's her round.

"I got you, I got you. Just the same as before?" Margo asks and we all nod in reply.

"I'll help." Noah says going after Margo as we all take our seats again at the table.
