Daryl pulls up to Vincent's house, the car coming to a smooth stop in the driveway as he occasionally turns to

glance at- not saying much.

"I need to head straight back out again, so you two behave and text us if you need anything ok? Make

yourselves comfortable and take whatever you want from the kitchen!" Daryl recites, as we both nod and climb

out - as | feel a little crushed that he hadn't taken much notice of my transformed look.

"Yeah thanks, Daryl, for picking us up." | say, giving him a grateful smile as | open the car door to get out to

which he just watchesand nods.

"Yeah, thanks!" Emma echoes after me, followingout of the car.

Daryl pushes a smile, watching as we gather our shopping bags from the trunk and make our way towards the

front door. "Call if you need anything," he reminds us before driving off.

He was acting strange...

We enter Vincent's house, and the quiet atmosphere of the place contrasts sharply with the bustling mall we had

just been at.

It's a relief to be back here, as | take a deep breath, feeling a sense of calm wash over me.

"That asshole didn't even notice your hair!" Emma groans, speaking my thoughts as | giggle and try to act

unbothered about it.

"I thought he would have melted when he first saw you! Though, he did keep staring at you so maybe he just

didn't want to say anything when | was there?" Emma continues to rant as we head upstairs to my current room.

"I know but who cares what he thinks? There is something | still have to tell you though..." | remember about last

nights heated kiss, walking into my room and staring over at the bed where it had happened. "What now?!"

Emma hurries the information out of me, as I laugh.

"Vincent kissed me... again." | admit, suddenly embarrassed at how ridiculous it all sounds.

"Vincent did?! But didn't you just kiss Daryl a couple of days ago? You have them both wanting you Sofia how the

hell will you keep up?!" Emma rambles, suddenly pausing to laugh at my panicked face.

"I don't know, it's hard to explain! | just get so caught up with them both individually! Daryl is a true sweetheart,

despite that he didn't notice my hair, and Vincent has shockedlately with how much he has done to help me

out..." I groan, allowing for my head to fall back as she shakes her head and smiles at me.

"This could be a TV show! A wild love triangle if I've ever seen one!" Emma retorts, as | remove the contents of

our shopping trip and put them on the bed.

"Ughh no, | wouldn't call it a love triangle! I'm pretty sure Vincent only flirts withwhen he's bored and Daryl

is hard to figure out sometimes too... I'm just going with the flow at this point." | sigh, as Emma nods and gives

want to be late for Maggie's western night." She puts the cowboy hat on her head and begins to dance around

the room as | giggle and perk up again.

After a quick shower avoiding wetting my newly styled curls, | start getting ready. | pull on the shorts and

waistcoat, adjusting them until they fit just right. Next, | carefully place the cowboy hat on my head, feeling a

thrill of excitement seeing the bright pink making my blonde hair pop.

This night was going to be so fun - judging by the outfits alone!

Emma pops out of the bathroom next, fully dressed and looking fabulous. "How do I look?" she asks, striking a

pose.

"You look amazing!" | say, genuinely impressed. "How about me?"

"Perfect! You look like a total western diva," she replies, givinga thumbs-up.

We finish our preparations by adding slight makeup and a touch of glitter. Emma and | take a moment to

admire ourselves in the mirror, giggling like little kids going to our first party.

"All set?" Emma asks.

"All set," | confirm.

We grab our charged phones and head downstairs before Emma insists on snapping spictures of one

another on our phones before we took sselfies together.

We mapped it and found that it was only a fifteen minute walk from Vincent's place and so with that, we set off

walking.

The evening air was thankfully warmer than expected as we step outside, the sun just beginning to set. We make

our way to Maggie's, chatting excitedly about what the night might hold. Maggie's western night had only

opened last week and Emma said it looked great on social media, known for its lively atmosphere, great music,

and fun crowd.

When we arrived, the place was already buzzing with energy. The decorations were on point, with hay bales,

string lights, and western-themed props everywhere - even a mechanical bull ride.

"Hey, girls!" A guy dressed up as a cowboy greets us at the entrance, dressed in his own Maggie's clothing to

show he was staff. "You two look fantastic! Con in and join the fun." He leads us towards a free table as we

thank him. "Need anything tonight, you two just letknow!" He states, dipping his hat at us as we both beam.

He was pretty handsome... most of the staff seemed young and pretty in here from what we could see. They all

looked to be in their early twenties.

People were already up dancing, laughing, and enjoying themselves as we admired the atmosphere of the place.

"Ok so what's the plan? Do we risk getting a drink at the bar?" | suggest, eyeing up the bar staff and making eye

contact with a cute guy towards the end who smiles in our direction.

"By the looks of it, he will serve you!" Emma giggles as | blush and hope that she was right.

The guy was tall with dark hair, but his face was young and mischievous... it was almost as though he was

teasingto approach him with his eyes.

"Here goes nothing!" | breathe out, as Emma cheers forand wishesluck.

| make my way to the bar, feeling the adrenaline rush through me. The cute bartender watches my approach, a

playful smile tugging at the corners of his lips.

"Hey there, what can | get for you blondie?" he asks, his voice smooth and inviting.

| glance over the menu briefly before deciding. "I'll have a strawberry margarita, please - two." | ask, praying

that he wouldn't ask questions.

"Coming right up," he replies with a wink, expertly mixing the drinks. As he works, he glances up at me. "First

there?"

"Yeah, my friend and | heard great things about this place. We decided to check it out," | say, trying to sound

casual.

"Well, you picked a good spot, hopefully I'll see you here more often." He grins, as | turn back to glance at Emma

who was watching the exchange. "I'm Ryan, by the way." He adds, as | nod slowly. "Sofia," | reply, taking the

drinks and giving him a smile. "Thanks, Ryan."

"No problem, Sofia. Enjoy your night and be sure to cback over here for more drinks alright?" he drawls out

as | walk back towards my friend feeling suddenly flustered.

What did the night have in store for us both with alcohol involved?!
