Girls Talk [Girl x Girl]

Chapter Thirty-One- Invitations and robotic voices

A day after not talking very much to Victoria later, Fox texted me.

F: Hey Kate, want to go get coffees?

I quickly texted back that I would see her there soon, and I met in her in the carpark and the two of us went to get out drinks at a local coffee shop, that just so happened to be the one that Victoria and I had been to before.

That last time and now, so much had changed since then.

Fox and I got our drinks and went to sit down next to the window.

"So, update me. Are you two or are you two not girlfriends yet?" Fox asked.

"Neither,"

"Neither?" Fox nodded, her tone not-so-certain.

She paused for a moment to take the coffee from the barista's hands.

"Define that," she continued.

"I don't know, we both like each other but Victoria's..."

"Let me guess, giving mixed signals," Fox said.

"It's not that...yeah,"

Fox gave a small smile.

"Margo, too,"

"Yeah," I replied, and I knew the reason as to why.

"Margo told you something, didn't she?"

I needed to stop being so readable and start getting better at reading other people. I nodded.

Fox rose an eyebrow.

"I think she should be the one to tell you,"

"Oh? She doesn't like boys now does she?" Fox joked.

"I don't think that would ever be possible," I replied.

Fox faked a sigh of relief and then her eyes met mine again, she smiled after a few moments.

"Hey, Kate,"

"Hey?" I questioned.

"I'm glad we met...I mean, who else would we tell each other all this unnecessary drama to?"

I smiled at that.

"Me too," I replied.

Fox finished her drink and moved onto her cake, then looked back to the drink halfway through eating her cake to look at the drink cup once more, as if somehow, she could magically make the contents of it rise.

"They really need to make these things larger,"

I laughed lightly.

"Huh?" Fox asked.

"Margo said that,"

Fox smiled and nodded.

"Yeah, sounds about right. Except, I'm a tea lover and she's a coffee enthusiast," she replied.

I gave a nod.

My favourite thing to have at coffee shops was a frappe, or tea, but there were too many options to settle on one...

Fox took out her mobile when it began to vibrate in her pocket.

She gave it a look of interest before answering.

"Go? Yeah, Margo I'll be there in like twelve, Kate and I are having coffee...okay, it's urgent? Sure."

Fox ended the call and 'helped' me to finish my cake.
