I'm en route to the cafe, and Cate is giving me a ride. I'm nervous and a bit scared. It feels like I've messed up, yet, deep down, I believe I haven't done anything wrong. Perhaps, I just fell for the wrong person, that person being the mother of my best friend.
C: We're here...
Y: I'll call you later -I kiss her cheek and leave the car.
I step into the cafe, and I spot Dash already waiting for me. Greeting him, I take a seat across from him. Soon, a bartender arrives with our orders, and it seems Dash already knows my preferences, as I assume he ordered for me.
D: Do you really like her? -I'm slightly taken aback because I wasn't anticipating that question.
Y: I do, Dash... I know it's weird because she's your mom but... I really do like her...
D: Okay then... -we stay quiet for a few minutes- I've been reflecting on things, and perhaps I was a bit too harsh on both of you. Seeing my mom in bed with my best friend was quite a shock, it's not something I expected to witness.
Y: I completely understand... -I wait a little bit- Are we okay now?
D: Yes, we can go back to being best friends -he laughs- I actually missed you this week.
Y: Mee too! Just in case you hadn't noticed after all of the messages I sent you -I laugh too.
D: Oh god, you're so annoying -he jokes- I should probably talk to my mom too, I'll come back home today.
Y: Where were you staying?
D: With Jenn. Do you think my mom will be angry?
Y: No, not at all. She'll be really happy to see you.
D: Okay.
Dash and I chat for a bit, and then I call Cate to come pick us up. When I mention on the phone that Dash is joining us, she sounds genuinely pleased but also a bit nervous. I make an effort to reassure and calm her down.
--
I head to my apartment, while Cate and Dash go home. I chose not to accompany them because I'm aware they need to have a conversation, and I didn't want to intrude.
I spend the remainder of my day watching TV.
--
The following day, Cate comes over to spend the day together at my place.
Y: So... how did it go with Dash? -I ask when we're both sitting on the couch.
C: Good. We had a conversation for a while, and he mentioned that he's okay with it now. I assume he conveyed the same message to you?
Y: Yeah, I'm happy for it.
C: Yeah, me too -she looks down as if she wants to say something but doesn't know how- Y/N?
Y: Yeah?
C: I was contemplating... perhaps we could plan a trip after Christmas, just the two of us, and return right before New Year's Eve. What do you think?
Y: I'd love to! Where were you thinking?
C: I was thinking maybe somewhere in Europe... What country would you like to visit?
Y: Well, I'd like to go everywhere to be honest... but I have family in Spain and I've never been there...
C: You do? Where? We can go there if you want to! -she says very excited.
Y: Yes, in Barcelona! Have you been there?
C: Yeah, but I didn't get to see the city really well, so we could go there! How is it that yoy have family and you've never been there?
Y: 'Cause they visit us here every year so... I don't know... But I always wanted to go to Spain because I speak both Spanish and Catalan.
C: What!? -she says surprised- You speak Spanish AND Catalan!?
Y: Yeah, those are the languages I speak with my parents so...
C: You just keep surprising me, Y/N! More reason to go there now! -I laugh- It's settled, we're going to Barcelona! And before you ask, I'm paying for everything, this will be my christmas gift.
Y: Oh Cate... I can't accept that... It's too much...
C: I don't care what you think, this is my present, you deserve it -she says pecking my lips.
Y: Thanks -I smile and blush a little.
