"We should talk," says Jayden as she and Natalie are being seated at small café in West Hollywood called Atmosphere.
Natalie's eyes narrow. This isn't good. If Jayden backs out of teaching at HIA she's going to cry for more than one reason. She likes having Jayden around she reminds Natalie of who she is.
Jayden takes a deep breath and the waitress comes around to get their drink order. Natalie orders coffee and Jayden a milkshake. Once the waitress is out of earshot Jayden folds her hand in front of her and says, "Listen, I know I told you that I have a crush on you and since then you've been looking at me weird and being uncomfortable around me. I know there is like thirteen years between us and I have a lot of things to learn..."
"You? You have to learn?" blurts out Natalie. She rubs a rough hand over her dark blue eyes. "I've never even been on a real date, Jay." The admission makes her blush, she feel the heated blood rise to her cheeks.
"I can say I've been on a date," says Jayden with a half smile. She lets her deep olive colored eyes wash over Natalie for just an instant. "Not with a girl. Here is the thing, I see how Spencer and Rylee are stumbling around their relationship and that's not my thing. They have so much to figure out with their powers and their lives. I propose that we stay friends while we explore other relationships. That we keep an open mind to life and enjoy it."
Natalie eases back into the chair. Is this Jayden's version of having an open relationship? Jo and Amy had tried that once and it had backfired on them both.
"I don't want to sleep with you," says Jayden looking over the menu nonchalantly.
Natalie feels the blush rise to her cheeks again. Jayden isn't attracted to her? She's confused. "You don't?"
