Zoe's POV:
We had just started the third bottle of wine and I could tell Ruth had had enough to drink, she couldn't even stand.
"Jay, have you seen what your girlfriend's doing?" I said as I could see Ruth trying to stand up on the other side of the room.
"Yeah, she'll be fine but technically she's not my girlfriend" he said confusing me.
"What? You never told me you had split up, you're definitely still acting like you're together" I said trying to work out in my head what he was on about
"Didn't you notice the ring on her finger? They're engaged" Cal said making me go wide-eyed.
"Thanks for telling me" I said causing Jay to smirk.
"I was going to tell you but then I thought why not wait until you noticed but then you didn't" he said causing me to laugh. I didn't realise quite how drunk I was until I went to stand up and fell straight back down landing on Max. I didn't even realise I had drunk that much.
"How much have I drunk?" I questioned Max whispering it to him.
"You've had at least one bottle to yourself as well as some of the other bottles and you've had half of all 5 of my cans" he whispered back. I rolled my head back against his chest and sat on his lap properly. I was still facing the others because I didn't want to be rude. Max sniped his arms around my waist and I put my hands on top of his.
"I love you" he whispered in my ear as he leant forward slightly giving me Goosebumps. Tamzin looked at us and rolled her eyes as she smirked at us. It must have looked weird to her whereas all he did was whisper something in my ear which made me smile, I don't blame her if she thought it was something dirty though. At that moment she whispered something to Cal, who then whispered something to Linda and we had all three of their eyes on us.
"Come upstairs, they won't even notice" Max said seductively in my ear obviously not noticing the eyes on us.
"Later, we're being watched" I whispered back to him. At that moment he looked up and began to go red. He put his face down onto my shoulder making me smirk at how embarrassed he was.
"I never realised how embarrassed you get" I whispered in his ear before looking back towards Tamzin, Cal and Linda.
"Tams I need to speak to you" I said and she raised her eyebrows at me.
"Go on then" she said.
"Out there" I said pointing towards the door. I removed Max's hands from around my waist as I got up. As soon as I went to walk away he grabbed my hand, getting up as well and coming outside the room with me and Tamzin. No one noticed though considering Robyn, Lofty and Jay were in the middle of a conversation, Ruth was playing with Amelia on the floor considering she had woke up and Linda and Cal were kissing as usual. We stood outside the room and Tamzin raised her eyebrows again.
"Cover for us, I can't wait much longer" Max said making me laugh.
"That's not what I wanted to speak to you about but I guess it's gonna have to wait now" I said as Max began to pull me up the stairs.
"We won't be long just cover for us" Max said as we got to the top of the stairs and rounded the corner and entered my bedroom.
Linda's POV:
Me and Cal had just separated from our kiss when Tamzin came back in smirking.
"What was that about" I asked as she sat down on the sofa gaining everyone's attention.
"Max was gagging for it so they asked me to cover for them whilst they went upstairs" she said causing us all to laugh.
"Well we all know that when Zoe wants something she gets it as well" Jay said making us all laugh again.
"I don't get why they asked you to cover for them, we're going to hear them trust me they are both pretty loud" I said making Robyn cover her ears.
"Well I've heard them once before when they were at ours but that was it and I don't want to remember the noises that I heard" Robyn said making us all laugh.
"I'm sure you described it as something from a wildlife safari" Lofty said causing Robyn to bury her head in the crook of his neck at the memory. We could hear them upstairs but we was trying to block out the noise for Robyn's sake. I looked at the clock which read 11:30 and realised Sharice was going to be home soon enough.
"Cal help me get rid of the empty bottles and cans, Sharice is due home any second now" I said and he got up instantly to help me take the rubbish out to the kitchen bins. We got back into the living room as we heard Sharice outside.
"You coming tomorrow then?" We heard her friend Ryan say.
"Yeah, Zoe doesn't care as long as I'm not at home spoiling her time with Max" Sharice said shocking me slightly.
"Zoe never said that" I said to confirm it didn't happen to the others.
"So she wouldn't care if you skipped school as well tomorrow so you can fit in with us properly if you get what I mean" Ryan said.
"She's dropping me to school but I can easily meet you and the others there then leave?" she said as she edged closer to him before kissing him passionately.
"Text me later" she said pulling away and walking to the door.
"Only if there's more where that comes from" he said as she opened the door and came in. She walked into the living room to be seen with all of our shocked faces.
"What the hell Sharice, Zoe never said that she wants you out of the house and she does care about you" I said to her almost instantly.
"Why were you listening to my conversation?" she asked raising her eyebrows.
"You were saying it loud enough" Tamzin said, she had never met Sharice until now.
"And who are you exactly, it's got nothing to do with you" Sharice hissed.
"I'm Zoe's best friend so I'm not letting anyone say a bad word about her especially not someone who she has gone out of her way for" Tamzin said back, I could tell she was getting annoyed now. Sharice rolled her eyes at her before going to leave the room
"Don't even think about it" I said as she stopped and came back. I could hear Zoe and Max coming down the stairs at that moment in time.
"I'll speak to you later" I said to Sharice quietly.
"Not a word to Zoe or Max understand" I said to everyone and they all nodded.
"Didn't realise you was back" Zoe said as she came in straightening her dress out.
"Just got back" she said. Zoe could sense something wasn't right so I knew I would have to think of something.
"We heard you both, again" I said causing the others to burst out laughing, even Sharice was laughing.
"What can I say, he's good at some things" Zoe said smirking as Max put his arms around her from behind putting his face on her shoulder again.
"I take it you're all staying tonight?" Zoe questioned raising her eyebrows. Everyone nodded.
"Sharice you don't mind babysitting Thursday night do you" Zoe asked Sharice.
"Babysitting who?" she questioned.
"Amelia, Jay and Ruth's little girl" I told her.
"Yeah sure" she said shocking us all slightly at how easy it was to get her to agree.
"Zoe are you working tomorrow?" Sharice asked. We all knew what this was about apart from Zoe and Max.
"Yeah we are" Zoe answered confused.
"What time do you start?" she asked.
"9" Zoe replied. Sharice nodded before going upstairs to bed. We all sat back down and got into conversation again.
"Linda look at this" Tamzin said showing me her phone. Sharice's Facebook page was loaded up.
"How did you get this?" I asked her.
"She hasn't got her privacy settings on, all I had to do was search her name" she told me. I looked at her latest post which shocked me 'I've been roped into babysitting on Thursday night so which babe wants to come over and take my mind off of little Amelia, like this status if you would' she already had 35 likes and it had only been posted for 3 minutes.
"Don't show Zo, let me sort this" I told her as I got up. I walked upstairs and as I got to the top I noticed Tamzin behind me.
"I'm not letting you do this by yourself" she said making me smile.
"Right you can delete that status considering no one is helping you babysit and you're going school tomorrow as well" I said as I walked into Sharice's room.
