This is short, and not my best. I apologize. This was prompted by justkeeptyping!


Jerome and Mara strolled down the sidewalk, hand in hand, to the café, Classy Brews.

"Classy Brews…have you ever looked at that name and think about it?" Jerome asks, holding the glass door open for his girlfriend. "It's stupid."

Mara giggled. "Jerome, that's mean."

"You giggled though," he pointed out smugly.

"Whatever," she rolled her eyes and pulled him into the café. They spotted a table for two in the back of the restaurant, but before they could make it half to it, Alfie Lewis stepped into their path.

"Hey, Mate, what are you doing here?"

"Mara and I are on a date—why are you here?"

"Amber and I are on a date, come sit with us," he shoved the couple toward a table in the corner.

"No, Alfie, that's alright." Mara protested, trying to dodge his shoves.

"Come on, Mara, just for ten minutes, then we'll ditch." Jerome murmured into her ear.

Mara took a shaky breath and took a seat across from Amber in the booth. "Hello, Amber,"

Amber gave her a blank stare and then turned her nose up at her with a huff. Mara looked at her lap sadly.

"Am I missing something?" Jerome asked, holding a smile back, his curiosity getting the best of him.

"I can't believe you, Mara," Amber ignored him. "I tried so hard to get our relationship back on track and you throw that in my face? I can't believe it! I was being nice; you just had to bring it up. Will you ever drop it? Just forget about it, we could be friends again. Tell each other everything like we did before. I mean, I'm obviously over Mick, and so are you, but you had to shove it in my face that he chose you over me? That's mean and low."

Mara opened her mouth and closed it, looking around the table in shock. Alfie stared at her wide-eyed and Jerome swallowed, raising an eyebrow.

"Amber, I never said that,"

"Yes, you did, remember, right after Alfie got his dog, Peanut Butter, and Jerome cheated on you." Amber scoffed, crossing her arms over her chest and giving Mara a look.

"I'm allergic to dogs," Alfie stated.

"And I never have, am not, and never will cheat on Mara!" Jerome defended himself.

Amber looked at the ceiling. "Oh, that was a dream…"

"Oh, wow…" Jerome muttered, running a hand over his face in exhaustion.

"What, Jerome?" Mara turned to him.

"Nothing, just Amber being an air-head," he sighed and Alfie nodded unconsciously.

Amber and Mara glared at their boyfriends and Jerome raised his hands in defense.

"I apologize."

"Yeah, he apologizes." Alfie jerked a thumb at his friend.

Then the fight started. Mara went off on Jerome for being mean to Amber and the blonde scolded Alfie for agreeing with Jerome. After causing a scene, splashing hot coffee into their boyfriends' faces, and threatening them never to do it again, they left the café arm in arm.

"I will never insult Amber Millington ever again." Jerome promised himself, running a hand through his latte covered hair.

"And I will never agree with anything you say ever again." Alfie grumbled.
