A/N: Sorry for the long wait, I wrote this in between my exam study-breaks. I'm not all too happy about the turn out of it… something seems to be lacking, but that's probably just me and my lack of brains nowadays.

I thank all who graciously took the time to write me a review! THANK YOU so MUCH!

And to that one person who suggested me to write an intimate scene between the girls – I get what you mean, how it could be all extra sensual and stuff with Katie being blind, but uh… I don't feel ready to right anything too intimate. So sorry, but it was a good suggestion!

Anyways, hope you guys like reading this more than I!

It has been over a week since she's met her, but all she seems to ever hear in the back of her mind is that same voice, over and over on repeat in her head – weirdly enough, she's yet to tire of it. To be frank, she wouldn't even mind hearing that smooth flowing voice; not too high pitch not too low, not raspy or coarse. Of course, she couldn't think of any possibility that would allow for that to happen, unless Tad invited her over again, and she was there.

Katie sat on her bed, taking slow bites on what she presumes to be her favourite Fuji apples, just bored in general as she listens to her new playlist, thanks to her second brother. Her parents were out, Jake was probably tending to his café, her eldest brother was probably busy at the hospital; he was after all, a neural surgeon. Sighing, feeling that she has thoroughly had the last bite of the apple, she walked out of her room, situated downstairs for all safety purposes. She kept her clean left hand on the wall and walked to where she knew her kitchen was situated and threw away what was left of her apple core. Taking the same route back to her room, Katie decided that she'll go out for some fresh air, so she reached for the remote control in her back jean pocket and turned off her sound system. After a while of feeling her way around her room for her phone and cane, she made her way out of her room and out the front door.

Walking along the pathway, she decides to take a little trip to the coffee shop to see if her brother's in. Smiling, Katie takes in her surroundings; sunny, with a slight breeze of cold wind, kids laughing and shouting, probably playing street hockey – it was a good day.

"Good afternoon, Katie." A woman's voice could be heard from her right.

Waving her left hand in the general direction, she returned the greeting, "Good afternoon, Mrs. Norris."

After what she believed to be her standard 30 minute walk to the coffee shop, she has finally arrived unharmed and unscratched. Counting her steps carefully from the last crossing she pushed into, what she hopes was the right shop.

"Hey Katie," a young male voice sounded.

"Hi," the girl frowned, "Albert?"

"Yup, you got me right again."

"Hey Katie," this time a girl's voice called from behind the counter.

"And hello to you Sarah."

The girl giggles a little, "you never fail to remember."

"How can I ever forget?" Katie flirted lightly.

"So, you came in to look for Jake?" Sarah asked.

"Well no, I was hoping to see you, but don't let my brother know; he likes to feel that I came all the way to see him." The tall dirty-blonde grinned cheekily.

A clear of throat announced Jake's presence, "I heard that."

Katie chuckles and heads over to him, dodging slowly past the round tables. "Awww, you know I always come to look for you."

"Yeah, yeah, that's what you say now." Jake plays hurt, giving his sister a gentle hug, "you just say it to suck up to me now."

"Damn, did my plan just fail?" she feigned shock.

Chuckling, he touched his sister's shoulder, "So did you wanna see me about anything in particular, or did you come in to snag a freebie?"

"Jakey, you know me too well."

Katie was just about to go and take her usual seat but Jake quickly held her before she sat down. "Sorry Kate, I've got a customer on your table."

Katie smiles apologetically a spot on the table, "Sorry, didn't know there was someone here already."

"It's alright Katie, you can sit with me." The customer said.

Frowning, her head tilted to the side thinking, 'So familiar… but not quite familiar enough. Smooth voice, soothing, just the right pitch.' And a light bulb goes off in her head, and her jaw nearly drops at her realisation, "Jessie."

"Wow, you remember." Surprise etched on the blonde girl's face, not quite believing that this girl has managed to memorize her just by voice after one meeting.

Jake looked between the two, "Oh, I guess you two have met then."

"Oh yeah, just last week, she's Tad's girlfriend, Jessie." Katie informed her brother, "Jessie, meet my brother, Jake."

"Oh!" Jake turns to look at the blonde sat in the booth, "You're the girl he never stops talking about." He stated, successfully bringing a blush to the girl's porcelain face, "Glad to finally meet you," He extended his arm for a hand shake.

After all polite bantering was done; Jake excused himself, saying he was busy with his book keeping, leaving Katie and Jessie at the booth.

"So." They both started simultaneously.

"Where's Tad?" Katie quickly asked to avoid those awkward, 'you go firsts'.

"Oh, he's coming soon… or so he said an hour ago." Both girls chuckled, "And how'd you get here?"

"Walked." Katie stated as if it were nothing.

Albert came to the table and placed Katie's iced chocolate in front of her, "here you go my lovely lady, the normal. Enjoy."

"Thanks." Katie smiled, reaching for the cup.

"So do you live near here?"

"Um," Katie licked off a bit of ice-cream residue on her top lip, "about 30 minutes walking distant away."

"Oh, and you walked here alone?"

"Well yeah, it's a ritual for me." The dirty-blonde thought about it, "I come here nearly every other day, mainly to you know, snag some free drinks." Katie smiled, her eyes smiling with her. "So, tell me about yourself, we didn't have much time to talk last time."

"Um," Jessie paused unsure of what to say, "there's really not much to say," she quickly diverted the question, or so she thought.

"C'mon, there's always something to say," the older girl urged, "like; where'd you grow up? How old are you? Uh, what did you major in and why? I'll even bear with your take on how you and Tad met…"

"Okay," the blonde chuckled, she took a deep breath "well, I was born and raised here in this neighbourhood. I have one older brother and two step sisters, one older one younger," Katie nodded taking note, "um, I just turned 22 and studied medicine… mainly because I, uh, wanted to."

"You don't sound so sure about your reason for studying it," Katie noted.

"Well technically, my parents chose it for me, and I didn't mind."

"But what would you have preferred studying, what would you have chosen?"

The blonde was definitely surprised at this, no one has once questioned her reasons for studying medicine, this was probably the first time. "I don't know, probably psychology."

Katie nodded accepting the answer.

"And that's about it for me, I'll spare you the details of how Tad and I met."

"Thank god! I was really afraid you might plunge into the same ol' story," the dirty-blonde joked. "This may sound weird, but can you describe yourself… as in your physical features."

"Okay…" Jessie replied unsurely.

Another while has passed and Tad yet to show up, Katie has a vague picture of what Jessie would possibly look like. Jessie on the other hand felt that she knew nothing about the girl, having just done all the answering.

"Now it's your turn," the blonde announced, looking at older girl. 'She has really nice eyes…'

"Fine with me, what would you like to know?"

"Um… everything you have to tell me."

"Alright, well I'm 23 turning 24 sometime soon. I've got two brothers, both older than me, I was born and raised here. Um, not sure if Tad told you, but we grew up together and went to school together, our parents even arranged our marriage from before we were born… sadly their dreams were shattered." Katie laughed, remembering the time she came out to her family and Tad's during dinner.

"Yah, no thanks to her, my parents were devastated for the rest of the year… they even started blaming me." Tad interrupted, finally arriving.

"Oh please Tad, there was like six…? Seven days left of the year."

"Still a very long time," he took a seat and placed a soft kiss on Jessie's cheek, "sorry, the boss kept me in."

Katie heard the kiss, and rolled her eyes. "Say, why aren't you working Jessie?"

The blonde turned her head, "well I don't start my internship at the hospital until next month, something about taking a nice long rest after graduation."

"Hmm, that makes sense."

"Hey, you know you can go shopping with Katie in your free time." Tad looked at her girlfriend, "She just graduated and probably has nothing to do right now."

"Ehem," Katie coughed, "I am, after all, sitting right here." She took another sip of her iced chocolate.

"Sorry Katie, but seriously, you wouldn't mind hanging out with Jessie would you?"

"Fine with me, as long as she doesn't mind me tagging along."

"No, not at all, definitely wouldn't mind the company, way better than waiting for him to come out to lunch with me." Jessie nudged her boyfriend in the chest for making her wait.

"Ow," Tad rubbed his chest faking hurt, not that it really did, "can't blame me for not wanting to get fired already."

"Excuses." The two girls said together, and chuckled.

"Damn, you guys only met twice, and already you're both on the same side." Tad chuckled, infinitely glad the two most important girls in his life are getting along. "Oh Jessie, please help me keep an eye on Katie, she always has a handful of suitors trying to take advantage of her."

'Yeah, I would think so too,' Jessie thought looking over at the other girl.

"Hey, I could look after my self, thank you very much." Katie said faux indignantly, "plus, by the way you describe Jessie over there, I'm sure she's quite the attractor herself."

The said blonde blushed, not sure whether she was blushing about Tad saying that she was pretty or Katie.

Lunch continued on with Katie and Tad bantering as always, and Jessie just listening on, contributing into the conversation whenever she needed, but mostly she stayed quite and chuckled at the other two's interaction.

A/N: Exams are coming up for me in less than a month, so no more updates until after those are over! But rest assured, after exams, there will be much more updates…THANKS for reading!
