"You have got some nerve!"
"I am so sorry Delilah! Please give me another chance please!"
Her forehead creases as she takes a breath. "Are your boy toys going to barge in here again like they own the place?"
"No! I promise they won't. I am so sorry about that!" I say feeling my cheeks warm.
"Okay..." She sighs.
"You will be one of the dancers then."
"What! Delilah no please I-"
"-Either you dance or you are out. With Nicky still out, you kinda don't have a choice."
I nod my head and press my lips firmly together. "Okay... thank you."
"You are most welcome my darling Sage. Plus I think I prefer you as a dancer. You are a natural." She winks and walks past.
A natural... Yeah right...
"Hey Say-linn, how are you?"
I look and see Sam next to me.
"Oh hey Sam, I am okay. How are you?"
We start walking towards the lockers.
"I am well, glad to have you back on the team." She flashes a quick smile and takes her bag from the locker. I copy.
"Before I forget. Some guy called in. He said that you should save him a dance."
I feel my forehead riddled with lines.
"Did he say who he is?"
She shakes her head. "No... just that you'll know when you see him."
Really.... Probably Luke trying to be funny....
"Hm... well if he calls again tell him in his dreams! I don't do private dances."
I look at my phone.
Argh this guy!
"Sorry, I have to take this."
She smiles and nods her head. "Sure. See you tomorrow?"
I nod while bringing the phone up to my ear.

"Thank you for helping me move my things guys. Dinner is on me."
I place a vase on the small entrance table against the wall.
"You bet!" Luke teases as he places a box on the ground.
"Mm. Funny... So burgers?"
I see all of them nod as they carry on placing my things down. I look over at Liam standing by the front door.
"Are you not coming in?"
"No. I Have got some things to do."
"Oh. Don't you want to stay for dinner? It's the least I can do to say thank you."
"Maybe next time." He turns around and walks towards his car parked out in the driveway.
"What is his problem?" I ask, turning around seeing the guys all lounging around.
"It's Meg." Ian says as he takes a sip of his water.
"Meg?"
"His ex." Luke says with a straight face.
"Oh. And I am guessing they used to live here?"
"Ding-Ding-Ding!" Axel mocks.
"Then why let me stay here if he can't even set foot inside?"
"Why would he need to set foot inside Sage?" Luke leans against the washing machine in the middle of the entrance with his hands holding onto either side.
"Well... it's not like we are not friends... we can still hang out."
A small chuckle falls from Lukes mouth.
"What?" I ask, feeling annoyed.
"Nothing..." He pulls his bottom lip and shakes his head.
I sigh feeling my eyes roll.
"So what happened with Liam and Meg?"
"Well. She-"
"-Not our story to tell Ash." Luke cuts Ash off.
"Arg, really! Now you want to be all righteous." I snap.
