*SOMEWHERE IN A CAFE*
Chris had summoned his crew mates for a little come together at their favorite Cafe. Chris is the first person to arrive as he reserves their seats already. Shortly after, a handsome blonde guy gets into the cafe. His smile turned many heads and his presence was marked by the loud 'hey' he said as soon as he saw Chris.
"Hey Jones, over here!" Chris quietly told Jones indicating towards their usual seating spot.
"Hey bro!" Jones says as he seats besides Chris on the curved sort of chair in the Cafe. They both greet with their signature handshake, the same as with James.
"Let's order something while waiting" Says Jones as he motions for a waiter to come towards their table.
As the waiter wanted to ask for their orders, James and Samantha arrived. Then Jones dismissed the waiter and told her to keep an eye on them because she would be shortly back to serve them. The waiter pouted cutely but went as soon as Jones gave her one of his over flirtatious winks.
As soon as Samantha and James settled, the group of four start discussing about their days and how they anticipate the fourth coming year.
"... seriously? nah you can't be serious...all I found in my old dormitory were posters that I don't even like anymore..." James said after a fit of laughter provoked by Chris.
"Okay guys what do you think of the new arrangements made? I on my part am completely for...I need to make girl friends." Samantha said with a lingering smile on her face.
"So you are tired of having us nearby?" Jones asked with a fake sad expression.
"No...that isn't the case after five good years here I don't have a real friend...well female friend..."
"But you have us..."Chris said with a concerned expression."Or are you tired of us already...we will make amends and follow you for shopping if that is what you need..."
"I can even take you for shopping" James added.
"Thank you guys but...*sighs* we are going to be sharing rooms for this year...since our school is facing a crises...I hope they'll put me with someone nice...not just one of those girls who think I'm snobbish and have it all.." Samantha quietly said while sipping her iced tea.
"I equally noticed that the new dormitories were slighty bigger but there were no beds yet. All I want is that they shouldn't separate us as usual." Chris continued.
"My shopping offer still holds Sam...if you have time of course" James whispered close to Samantha's ear. Which made her blush due to his breath on her ear. "Ok..." she whispered back then smiled.
"Why are you guys being all 'lovey dovey' suddenly..." Jones chipped in with a teasing smile. James didn't answer but just smiled quietly.
*********
The day went by smoothly as Jones saw off Samantha with his driver while Chris and James decided to take a walk back home to Chris' place. Upon their arrival, they met Jessica and Ninah quietly snacking on the pancakes Jessica made earlier while enjoying a slow background music.
*door creeks and closes*
"Hey Mon, Hi Ninah..." Chris greets his small family while heading to wash his hands.
"Good evening ma'am Ninah, mom Jesse..." James equally greets as he also gets to wash his hands.
"Hey boys! how was it?" Jessica greeted back after cleaning her mouth with a tissue paper upon ending her meal.
"All good. Can we have some too mom?"
"Come on here boys, join me at table" Ninah asked.
The two boys walk towards the tables settle down and eat while having small chats with Ninah. The old woman still has a sense of humor of recent days. As they all finish their meal Chris and James climb up to Chris' room.
