Blair, Boys and Butterflies

26.

     "Guys, let's meet up after school. I've got something to tell you." Edie says, going into class.
     Abby and I look at each other weirdly. "Alright" we both say simultaneously.
     "What are you gonna order?" Abby asked. We arrived at a coffee shop that sells ice cream with coffee. It's my favorite coffee shop in town.
     "I'm thinking of a latte with chocolate ice cream. How about you?" I say, looking through the menu. I suddenly crave chocolate.
     "Yeah, same. Edie?" she turns towards her, propping her head on her hands.
     "I don't know. Maybe macchiato. I'm not sure" she answers.
     "What? No ice cream? You're no fun" Abby says.
      "Says the girl that orders the same every time" Edie scoffs.
      "Hey! I like it. I'm going to drink it until I get sick of it" she defends herself.
     "Okay, I see we're ready to order then" I say, raising a hand for the waiter. Abby crosses her hands but she's one of those people that forgive easily so she's back to her bubbly self in a second.
     We order and Abby and I turn to Edie, waiting for her to tell us the news.
     "Okay so, I have something to tell you" Edie starts, looking down at her hands and she starts playing with her fingers.
     "Yeah, we know " I say, eagerly waiting. She's making us nervous.
     "Um, remember Maddie?" she looks up at us as we both nod. "Um... We kinda..."
     "What? You what?!" Abby shouts in despair. She really is impatient.
     I look at her a give her a sarcastic smile as I pat her on the shoulder "Calm your horses down, she'll tell us"
     "We're dating" finally Edie says and I snap my head towards her.
     "Wait... so that means..." I say. Addy is left speechless.
     "Yep, I'm gay" Edie confesses and at the same time I say "WE'RE GONNA BE SISTER IN-LAWS"
     "Wait, what?" Edie asks confused.
     "Oh... well" I start " I'm kinda dating Eliot?" I innocently smile. They'll probably won't kill me right?
     "And when did you plan on telling us this information?" Edie asks, crossing her arms.
     "Well, we started dating like yesterday soooo... Plus this turned out great. Right?" I turn towards Abby to see her with her mouth open, looking at us back and forth.
     "Please say sike?" she starts pleading us.
     "There is no sike honey" I rub her arm.
     "Okay fine, but I have to confess something too" she says.
     "What is it?" Edie asks. What does he have to confess?
     She sighs and looks down. After a while she raises her head and puts on a big smile "I love you guys too much" she hugs us.
     "Awww Abby, we love you too" I say, hugging her back.
