"Peter!"
"Gabriel!"
They immediately wrapped their arms around each other and proceeded to hug for a good few minutes. It was as if I wasn't there.
Okay, this is gonna be awkward...for me anyway. Gabriel had the same stupid smile on his face as he pulled away from Peter. He turned to hug me but I was already pushing past him and into his apartment.
"We just wanted to come see you before you went to work y'know." Alright, it was a bit obvious I was jealous, but its not like they would notice.
"That's really nice of you guys." Gabriel was still staring at Peter, and Peter was still staring at Gabriel. Oh, I might just combust one of these days from jealousy.
"Yeah, well, we are your friends and we haven't seen you in a while..."
" I saw Peter yesterday Soph. He said you were working?" Fair enough, I was working, but that still made me mad.
"Have you got anything to eat?" I wandered into the tiny kitchen before they noticed my cheeks were bright red. I had a habit of doing that when I'm nervous, embarrassed, etc. I really hate it.
"Soph, can you make us some coffee? Please!" Peter sweetly asked.
I might as well, its better than watching them as they stared at each other. I didn't want to think of what they might be doing whilst I was out the room. I got as far as getting three mugs out of the cupboard though, when my curiosity got the better of me. I might not want to know if they're more than friends, but I just had to. I need to know things, another bad habit of mine.
Thankfully, the door was ajar, so I could peek through to the living room easily.
Gabriel was sitting on the cough opposite Peter. That soon changed though, when the conversation took a rapid turn to girls and relationships. Peter moved to sit next to him. They were just chatting, but there was an atmosphere in the room. I completely forgot about the coffee as I watched the scene unfold.
Peter made a joke. Gabriel laughed, a little too enthusiastically if you ask me, and they were hugging again in no time. This time though, when they pulled back, they're faces were serious. They froze, simply looking at each other; their faces must have been only two inches apart.
I ruined the moment by 'accidentally' opening the creaky door I was leaning against.
"Soph! Gave us a fright there." Gabriel acted as if nothing had happened and they instantly broke apart. Mission accomplished Sophie.
Oh, I'm evil.
"Any more progress on that coffee Sophie? We got to go soon, and let Gabe get to work." Peter announced the fact that we had to leave soon rather sadly.
"Um, yeah, sure. Gimme a minute..."
It must have been the worst cup of coffee I've ever had. It wasn't appreciated by Gabriel and Peter either, I could tell. When we left, I had a massive wave of deja vu. Gabriel went straight to hug Peter again, and he happily welcomed the hug. I stood there, awkwardly trying to direct my eyes anywhere but on them. Thing is, Gabriel's apartment isn't much of an interesting place. So, with nowhere for my eyes to look, they landed on them two again.
"Drop by anytime you want p..." He was about to say Peter. "...you guys. I love having company." No, you love having Peter's company.
"Yeah, we will" Peter replied cheerily.
He can come back on his own.
