The secret Trio

Family Reunion

_Side Quest Cafe_
~(Y/n) POV~
*10:00 AM*

I yawn and stretch a bit in front of my locker at my job. I had an eventful day yesterday, that's for sure.

"Yo (Y/n), I see you finally made it. You got your friends here waiting to be served by you." Jaiden replied, sticking his head out beside me. I look over and see him in his uniform smiling down at me.

"It's two of those boys that adore you oh so much." He said with a mischievous glint in his eye

"One, don't think I don't know what you're insinuating, and two, that doesn't narrow down which ones you're talkin about." I replied with my hands on my hip and a furrowed brow.

"The ginger named Howard and the guy with a jacket Randy." He swiftly added.

I knew I was supposed to meet up with Randy later today, but I didn't expect to see both Howard and Randy to be here.

"I'm surprised I didn't see Danny with them, to be honest, considering that stunt he pulled the last time I saw em." Jaiden sassed out, opening his locker next to mine.

"What are you talking about?" I inquire with a raised brow. After that question left my mouth, he snapped his head back down at me and stared.

"The drink he ordered." He simply stated.

"A fuckin drink? He was bold for ordering a drink?" I shot back.

"The Phantom Pitaya Philter. He ordered that shit and looked you dead in the eye."

"I mean, I'm the one suggesting them food and drinks. I'm sure he wants my opinion on it."

"You've got to be playin me. You don't recall what he said after you mentioned it; it's one of your favorites."

"The hell he say! Of course, I don't remember!" I shouted out, throwing my hands up in the air.

"Albeit it is... He said albeit it is."

"..."

"..."

"M'kaaay. What the big deal Jaide-"

I was interrupted by him dramatically slamming his locker door shut. And he was pulling out his phone and facing towards me now.

"Do you know the definition of Philter? Do you know what that drink implies?"

"Uh, no, wh-"

"Siri define Philter."

"Why the fuck are you bringing Siri into thi-"

"Philter, a drink supposed to arouse love and desire for a particular person in the drinker; a love potion."

I just looked down, confused at the phone in his hand.

He then leans over me and closes his eyes for a second. He opens them again, and I'm taken aback and surprised. Jaiden was giving me the same look Danny gave me when ordering that drink. I lean back a little, feelin a blush creep up.

"Say it."

I knew what he was doing. He was recreating the crime scene. So I mimicked what I had said that day. Or at least what I could remember.

"That's a good one; it's one of my favorites, actually."

"Albeit it is."

My breath became uneven, and suddenly it dawned upon me.

'Holyshit...'

My attraction towards Danny definitely skyrocketed in that single moment. Jaiden then straightens his posture and drops the look. Our quarrel was over, and he definitely won. I had taken many losses today, and it was only ten in the morning.
