Gems

" Spill, tell us every little thing," Alex demanded while sipping on her coffee.

" Yes woman, start talking," said Nat with her eyes fixed on me.

The three of us had decided to meet. More like I was forced to come out of my room on a lazy Sunday afternoon because these two wanted to know about my potential love interest.

I told them everything. From watching Crazy Rich Asians to talking about sensitive things.

" And..? What happened after that?" Nat asked me, hoping for something more.

" Nothing happened after, you dirty minded human. We slept. He offered to sleep on the couch and insisted I take the bed," I told them as I watched their expressions fade.

" So you went on a date with gorgeous eyes huh?" Alex asked, leaning on her chair with her arms crossed.

" No it wasn't a date," I clarified while looking down at my coffee.

" Of course, it was a friendly date," Nat said

exaggerating the word friendly.

I frowned as I saw them mocking and laughing at me.

" Okay you both, that's enough. Who wants cake?" I quickly tried to change the topic.

It was a day well spent. Although I'd prefer sleeping in my bed all day long , spending time with Nat and Alex was my most favourite thing to do.

Natasha and Alexandra, the gems in my life made their dramatic entry into my heart in June 2017. I don't know how I got so lucky when I found these two. Both of them basically adopted me when we first met. We had nothing in common and yet we grew close.

Natasha is the tallest among the three of us. She is like my second mother. Her dark brown curls are the most gorgeous thing about her and I envy her for them. She's the sweetest, most caring person you could ever come across.

Alexandra or Alex, as we like to call her is the most creative and artistic person. She's skilled in digital art and looking at her work always leaves us in awe. She's bold, confident, funny and the most supportive person I know of.

Nat and Alex have always been the more outgoing kind of people. Both of them possess mom-genes. They consider and treat me like their child. And they are the most supportive people I've ever met and could never trade them for anything else.

They're my second home. The only reason I come to college is to see their pretty faces. Talking, cracking stupid jokes and telling each other about our day is something I'll never get enough of.

We had our fair share of arguments but couldn't stay mad at each other for long. One could just buy the other their favourite ice cream and we would all be back to laughing and teasing each other.

I was walking back home when I got a text from someone who I was talking about the whole afternoon with Nat and Alex.

It was Zephyr.
