             "I know of a place!" I say a little to eager. They both look at me with wide eyes. As we sit in my car they both are in awe. Jays jaw still not off the floor and T pressing every button in her sight. "Do you want to play music?" I ask them both but look at jay first since resin the passenger seat. Jay had tired to give the front seat to T but she refused  "umm sure," he this takes out his phone and I show him how to connect before I pull off. The first song to play was 'Put It On Me' by Ja Rule. T breaks the silent, "Oooooo!!! What you know about this !" she says loudly. I couldn't help but giggle and jay smiles shyly. This song reminded me of my mom, she would play it and sing every lyric. The smile on my face grows when I start to remember her. Jay looks over at me  "why are you so happy?" he says it in a soft tone, although what he said might have come off as rude but by the tone of his voice I can tell he's cerious. I turn down the music just a little. "Oh nothing...its just...this song reminds me of my mom," while saying this I couldn't help but to zone out a little. "Oh sorry I can change it if you like?" there goes that soft voice again... It feels like he is actually caring, maybe now we can be friends? "Nonono it's okay! She loved this song" I say with a smile. He nods his head slowly. T sings along to the lyrics in the back, I stare at her through the rearview mirror. She's dancing and it's so funny and cute, she snaps her fingers and roll her hips to the music. For some reason, with them...right now I just feel so... Relaxed. And I'm glad T seems to be feeling better or at least pretending. She then makes eye contact with me and smiles. I look away quickly, her gaze just makes me feel... I don't know... it kinda makes  the butterflies in my stomach get butterflies, if that makes sense. She then scoots up and pretends like she's singing to me and Jay. This is the most I've seen him smile... Granted I haven't known him for long. As time goes on we all play our favorite songs, some how we all know each other's. I begin to feel more comfortable with them, singing to my heart's content, laughing when one of us misses a note or says the wrong lyrics. This is the first time in a long time that I'm allowed to make mistakes and be okay with them.
9:40 am
        I pull up to the coffee shop. It was a cute place on the outside, it looked old. Old red bricks were used to built it, some of them cracking and some of them fading. Plants grew on top of them, the plants looked like they were on an adventure of their own. The sign on the top was painted gold titled 'Grand Coffee.' it was my favourite place, quite and comforting. When we get out of the car jay looks at the shop with glimmering eyes. "Do you like it?" I ask him a little scared for the answer. He looks at me and nods with clarity. Usually, when he looks at me it feels as though he doesn't want to but can't help it....but right now... It feels like he wants to. Butterflies take over my stomach again, I'm beginning to love the feeling of them there. "Come on guys! It's cold" T says as her teeth shutter. We both smile and follow her lead. As we enter the door makes a creaking sound and a bell rings. Man, I haven't heard that bell in a while, I used to come here on Wednesdays after school like 5 years ago. Yep and it still smells the same, kinda earthy and sweet. Jay looks around with wide eyes and T eagerly looks at the menu. "Hi! Welcome to Grand coffee how may I help you?" the older vitemese lady ask. She wore a long blue skit with a white long sleeved sweater on top, and blue scarf wrapped around her neck. I wonder if she will remember me...its been a while. She scans the group but stops at me," V?! Is that you???" she says with wide eyes and a big smile. I rub the back of my neck and nod my head. She rushes to hug me" wow it's been so long! How have you been???" I was hesitant to tell her, what should I say? I wish I could say that I'm better... That I'm happy but it wouldn't be true. I just look away and give her a quiet "okay, I guess". I think T and jay noticed me avoiding the topic, I muster up the courage to speak. "I'm okay Ms. Tran," I say kind of awkward. They all look at me with concern, Ms. Tran changes the subject. "I see you brought friends this time ?" I smile and introduce them, T was quick to get along with her. The exchange greeting and T even showcased the little bit of Vietnamese she knew. Mrs. Tran pretends to be impressed despite T buturing the pronunciation. After the small conversation Mr. Tran shows us a table close to the window, Jay sits closes to the window and T sit on the right of him, I sit on the other side facing them. We talk about the project but get sidetracked with little topics, T rambles but I don't mind it and I don't think jay does either. As she speaks we both listen to her, the jokes she tells and the way she tries to make sure we both are included in the conversation is...refreshing. It feels like there are no expectations for me in the conversation...no motive...just taking.

         Ms. Tarn brings us our drinks and some cookies. "Oh sorry I don't think we ordered this," T says. "Haha I know silly girl! It's on the house, for my dear friend and his friends," she says as she gives me an eye smile. Back then she was my only friend...everyone else always had high expectations from me, I could never just be me. But Ms. Tran welcomed me in her shop with open arms. She had lost her husband around the same time I lost my mom, I think that's how we got so close. I return the smile and begin eating. Jay looks at each cookie with a cerious eye. I remember he said he wanted to be a pastry chef and own a coffee shop right? I hope he likes the cookies and the coffee. T eats her cookie without a second thought, visibly enjoying each bite. I take a cookie with a lot of icing and begin eating, it reminded me of Christmas, I loved it. Jay holds the cookie up to his lip and both me and t watch him with anticipation. Once he tries it he let's out a slight moan and both me and T burst out laughing. Jay gets flustered and that only worsens our laughter. Once we calm down T looks at jay and sees a small amount of icing at the corner of his mouth, she reaches over to remove it but stops only an inch away from his face. Jay looks at her with big eyes and crimson red cheeks, the eye contact they held felt like forever... Well at least to me, it was like I was watching a romantic movie. Before continuing T gives him a slight smile and says "can I touch you?" her voice sounded innocent and sweet but it couldn't stop me from thinking about other things. Her voice was so high pitch, which made what she said sound so out of place. Jay breathly says yes, his voice was deeper, smoother but he sounded so...weak. Fuck, I am insanely attracted to both of them. I look down at my lap and use my hands to cover a certain spot. No this isn't good, what is wrong with me? Am I weird, for liking them both? For feeling this way... In public? The rush of uncertainty falls over me. I'm not supposed to think guys are cute or hot... And I'm not supposed to be this flustered by a girl, no matter how cute her voice sounds when she's....asking to touch...him. After T finishes whipping his mouth I feel two fingers under my chin lifting my head. I look up and see her looking at me. She smiles and says "you're a messy eater too," and giggles. My heart feels like it's coming out of my chest. She was leaned forward and over the table, she was close. I could feel her warmth and it was driving my crazy. As she lifts the napkin up to my face I close my eyes and hold my breath. I can hear her giggle as she whips my mouth, once she pulls away I open my eyes and see her back in her seat. "All done ," she smiles, we both stare at her in able to remove our eyes. She looks at us and suddenly her eyes widen. "Oh sorry!! Sorry, it's a habit from work! Often I have to feed people who can't feed themselves so..yeah! Sorry I hope that didn't make you uncomfortable, or mad! I-if you're both angry I understand-" she rambles. Me and Jay cut her off with a laugh. "Your fine," we both say in sync. She rubs the back of her neck and looks down. She then joins our laughter. We spent a few hours just laughing and talking about our project, both me and Jay avoided bringing up Kayce. If I'm being honest though, it feels like she forgot about her and I'm glad she did. Once we decided to leave T pretend like she was going to use the bathroom but to my surprise, she actually went to go pay.
12:15
          We are heading back to the school, I had a class in the next 2 hours but t has a class in a 30 minutes. If I hadn't reminded her she probably would have forgotten. Js class was in an hour so it was best to just go back to the school. The car ride was silent but comfortable, it was nice. I had so much fun with them... Maybe it can be something we do more often?
