Okay martha wtf is happening

Were you guys on a date?

Martha
it wasn't a date!!
we got coffee and went to the
studio for a bit, got a few beers
after but that was all

Simone
Sound like a date to me...

Martha
Guys
i don't think it's like that anymore
We're probs better as friends

Kyra
Oh
How come??? You guys literally
looked like a married couple last
time he was here

Simone
Girl he looks at you like youre
literally made of diamonds

Martha
Yeah i just dunno if it works
It's nice when we're at the same
place but we never are
We're good friends too
Idk if its even
worth compromising that
I think hes on the same
page he feels uninterested
in that side of things
Idk i mean we kissed and stuff
before and it didn't go well after
so maybe it's best not to
pursue things

Kyra
Oh shit
Thats fair i guess
You never know

Simone
You could see how it goes i guess
Don't be led on tho

Martha
Yeah, i'll try

Kyra
Anyway josh was wondering if u guys wanted to go out tonight/ hes bac to dublin tomorrow

Martha
Three nights in a row
Christ
Kidding i'll be there

Simone
sounds good!!!

Martha headed to the studio, finishing up some things she worked on yesterday and trying to figure out which songs she'd consider releasing as a single, and the tracklist of the album. Then she had to figure out a set list for Dublin, would she play new songs or old?

Opening her notebook, she scribbled down some lyrics that came to mind, words and  metaphors that she knew described the face of a man she shouldn't be writing songs about. It was her way of getting emotions down, helping her come to grips with what was going on in her mind.

Writing songs about Eli felt wrong, he was just a friend now, but it didn't matter. Martha had no intention of these songs being heard by anyone anyway. Maybe the producers here, but that would be all. Nobody would know that Martha spent her time in the studio writing sweet nothings about a man she shouldn't.

Last night, they had a few drinks and he walked her back home. Being back in one another's company, laughing until their stomachs ached and cheeks hurt, it felt better than either of them could put into words.

Martha smiled at her phone again, the pictures of Eli she took last night at the pub as he took numerous attempts to split the G. She had fun, and yet it felt bittersweet knowing he'd be jetting off back to Dublin soon and this wouldn't be a regular occurrence anymore.
