Borrowed Time Part 2

Chapter 211

Aww... Thoughtful.

"Ha... Okay..." They wandered in, and Juliette squinted at the high light, frowning as she did. She really fucking hated florescent lights like this, they made her head ache if she was around them for too long. Juliette looked up, seeing Jasmine leaning against a wall as she scrolled through her phone. She nudged Shelby lightly, getting her attention. "Jasmine, hey." She called, and Juliette saw her look up with a wide grin before she bent down to the bench next to her to grab the coffees.

Oh, I could marry you if I wasn't already dreaming of marriage with another person... You would have a smooch coming your way, trust me.

"Hey! How was your hotel?" She asked, and Shelby shrugged, leaning in to kiss her cheek before pulling back. Juliette didn't miss the blush that spread across her face from that, and she could hardly blame her. Shelby was gorgeous, and Jasmine had seen all of her, obviously even a chaste kiss like that would probably bring back memories.

Plus, Shelby was sweet as hell, who wouldn't blush from a kiss on the cheek from her? Well, she didn't, but that was because she'd known Shelby for so long - obviously it didn't really work on her anymore. There was a time that Shelby's charm had a huge effect, it was just gone now. Jasmine would either fall hard for it or get over it like she did.

"It was pretty good, clean, slept alright." She said, and Jasmine nodded, clearing her throat as she pressed her coffee into Shelby's hand, grinning up at her as if she was looking at her like she held up the fucking sun.

Juliette frowned... God, was there anymore who didn't look at Shelby like she was a deity? That seemed to be something that was just constant for her.

"For you." Jasmine said, and Shelby took the cup from her hand, lingering for a moment as she rubbed her finger over Jasmine's knuckle, leaning closer to her. Juliette cleared her throat, looking away when they stared into each other's eyes for a moment too long.

Please remember I am here. This is my personal hell and I want to die every time I have to watch you be all romantical with each other.

"Thanks." She felt a tap on her shoulder, and looked up with a sigh of relief... No more romance, nothing to make her throw up on the ground, this would be a very awkward time to have that happen considering they had to sit through a lecture... She'd still do it if she threw up, but like... Yeah.

It'd just make it worse.

"And Shelby said that this is your order." Jasmine said, and Juliette took the cup with a grin, swirling the ice around... She had to have gotten it recently, it wasn't too melted which was good because melted coffee tasted like water even if it was a little bit of ice melted into the coffee and syrup, it ruined it.

This was a big step in a good direction. Juliette took a sip, sighing with a wide smile... It was good, not too sweet, not too creamy... She did good, Shelby had given a really good explanation of what her order was, and Jasmine had executed it perfectly.

I could kiss you both. I could. I'm too gay for kindness.

"Jasmine, I'm going to be so honest with you right now." Juliette said, watching Jasmine's eyes widen as she took a step back.

Oh. Well, that can sound ominous, can't it? She wasn't actually trying to be ominous, she was just trying to say something really fucking gay - that was part of the deal of being friends, right? Sometimes they had to be a little gay with each other.

As a treat.

"Uh oh... That's never good."  Jasmine said, letting out a nervous chuckle as she did.  Juliette placed a hand on her arm, looking her deep in the eyes.  I'm gonna tell you something that I hope makes your day and doesn't make you think that I'm some kind of freak.  Because I'm not, I swear to God I'm so fucking normal.
