"How long has it been?" Paul asked, as he stirred around his coffee, always decaf, always no sugar.
"How long has what been?" Katherine asked admist sips, she was more of a sweet tooth, ordering her usually, double cream, double sugar.
"This, us, just hanging out." He clarified and she sighed inwardly.
'Whose fault is that?' She inwardly accused him as well, not brave enough to convey her feelings.
Paul thought about it, but she hadn't expected him to be so blunt. "Yours actually, not only did you leave for a while you actually got a boyfriend." He said in disdain.
Should she hope? Was that jealousy in his voice right now? "Why? I'm I not of age to date?"
"... well yeah, bu-"
"But what?" She asked.
He sighed, "never mind." He said dismissing the issue but Katherine was determined.
"No, Paul, but what?" She insisted.
"Why did it have to be someone I dislike?" He almost whined.
