More than just a friendship

Chapter 7 - How cute

I wake up the next morning to the sun shining through the large windows. I reach for my phone to text Josh but instead I get hold of a folded piece if paper. I fold it up and then reads what's written in it.
"Good morning, sleepyhead. Breakfast is served on my balcony from eight o'clock. I hope you're hungry. /J"

I go straight to my bags that still aren't unpacked to find myself something else to wear. I find a pair of shorts that I change to and then I'm threading a hoodie over my head. I walk over to the mirror in the hall to inspect myself. I look terrible but this is how I've been looking for the last couple of days and Josh has already seen me like this so why bother?

Josh opens the door with the same big smile he always has on his face.
"Look who's here!" He shouts to someone but when I enter the balcony I find that "someone" isn't only one, but two people. It's Sam and Jena and they're wearing terrible sun hats and sunglasses.
"Well hello!" Jena says with a smile when she sees me "How are you?"
I sit down in the empty couch, stretching my legs out so that no one else than me can fit in it "Never been better." I say "I can imagine that you've had some really tough days now that I've been away though."
Sam laughs at my joke "Really tough. You should have seen us yesterday when we were drinking cocktails on the beach, it was so.... exhausting."
"Ha-ha." I fake a smile "I bet that Francis is pretty upset with you guys though now that you've got yourselves tans."
"Don't joke about it." Jena rolls her eyes "He was the one who forced us to wear these stupid hats."

Josh joins us on the balcony a few minutes later holding a cup of steaming coffee in one of his hands.
"Make room for me." He says to me who's taken up his seat in the couch. I pull in my legs just so he gets to settle and then I put my feet in his lap without warning him "Careful with the coffee!" He laughs before giving it to me "Here."
"Oh, thank you." I say, starting to blow on it to make it cooler and easier to drink.
"Do you remember that I came in to you yesterday?" He asks as he reaches for his own cup on the table.
I bite my lip "When?"
"After the dinner." He takes a sip of his coffee.
"No." I shake my head "What were you doing?"
He smiles "I told you I'd come back for you."
"Awwww," Sam says while smiling before I even get the chance to respond to what Josh was saying ", how cute."
Both me and Josh stare confused at him.
"What?" I ask before recognizing Jena smiling in the same creepy way as Sam.
"You two," he explains ", you're cute. If I didn't know that you're nothing more than friends, I'd definitely think that you guys were a couple."
