Kate pov
After a few minutes I was all ready to go. I grabbed my jacket and put it on. "Sorry for taking so long."
Sophie frowned at me this was the fourth time in five minutes that I had apologies for not being ready on time. "Really Kate it's no worries." She said as she rolled her eyes at me and laughed… we started to make our way out the door. When it was time for me to lock it I realized that I had totally forgot my bag on the inside so I opened the door again… I went in and grabbed it from the kitchen counter. "I almost forgot my bag." Sophie started to laugh. "What are you laughing at?" I asked lifting up my eyebrows waiting for her reply although I was pretty sure I knew what she found so funny.
"I swear if your head wasn't attached to the rest of your body you would leave it all over the place." I looked back at her pretending to be really offended. "Oh shut up I'm offended now; I would so not lose my head." I said closing the door and locking it before we started to walk down the street towards the cafe place.
"Erm… I just wanted to let you know that you really helped me out last night Soph. I feel a hundred times better now about the wedding and the doubts I've been having…" Sophie didn't reply… she was just looking down at her feet smiling so I continued talking. "And you know if there is anything you need or if you just need someone to listen I'm right here for you." She still didn't say anything, I started to think that maybe I had blocked something out from last night… Maybe I had upset her or hurt her a way. Finally, her eyes left the ground and they met mine. There was something in her eyes that I hadn't seen before and I can't put my finger on what it was. I think she was holding something back, something she did want to talk about but wasn't sure if she should.
"Thank you Kate. I might take you up on that one day." I stopped in my track a little bit whilst she kept on walking. I reached out and took a hold of her lower arm very gently. "I mean it Sophie. I'm your mate." She turned around and looked at me. "I know you are." She frowned and I let go of her. "Good… I just wanted to make sure." I beamed with a huge smile on my face.
"So did you get in touch with Caz last night?" She asked me. "No I didn't… I tried calling her but she must have turned her phone off because it went straight to voice-mail and I'm pretty sure I passed out as soon as I got into bed." I confessed.
"Same here. I didn't even get all my clothes of." She said and laughed. I honestly didn't really think twice about what I was about to say next it just kind of slipped out of me. "Well I got out of my clothes but I didn't get any new ones on." I guess without thinking about it I might have had a little bit of a suggestive tone, leaning towards flirty even. I could tell she started to blush a little bit at my statement… I swear her eyes even went one shade darker than normal but this was most likely just my imagination. "I'm sorry, but in my defence that was the god honest truth." I tried to laugh it off but there was a little bit of an awkward silence before I was about to open my mouth to speak again I got interrupted by someone shouting out my name in the far distance.
"Kate… Kate!" I whipped my head around to try and locate where the voice was coming from. Down the street I saw a very familiar face and a big smile formed on my face when I realised who it was. "Oh my god Caz!" I started walking towards her.
"I can't believe you are here already!" I said right before we shared a sweet soft kiss and then falling into an embracing hug.
"I tried to call you last night but your phone was off." I stated.
Caz started to smirk. "You know that meet with the officers. That wasn't real. I had to go to catch my flight here. Are you surprised?!" She asked.
"Am I surprised?! Of course I am. I can't believe you are here!" I squeaked as I wrapped my arms around her neck and gave her another peck on the lips. During our little exchange I forgot about the fact that Sophie and I was on our way to grab a coffee. I glanced over at Sophie who was standing next to us… I could tell she wasn't really sure where she should look, it looked as if she was feeling a little bit awkward by the scene that had been playing out in front of her.
"Caz you remember Sophie right?" I said and gestured towards the brunette.
"Yeah I do, nice to meet you again." Caz said glaring at Sophie and she put on a fake smile. I could tell she was stilling being a little bit hostile towards mine and Sophie's new found friendship. But I must be allowed to have friends right. I gave Sophie a reassuring smile who was looking even more uncomfortable now than before.
"Come on babe lets grab some breakfast." She said as I frowned.
"What?" I said almost as a whisper as I was a bit shocked that she assumed I would just ditch my friend at the drop of a hat.
"I figured now that I'm here we could grab some breakfast together before you are off to work." She stated leaving me a little bit taken back.
"Me and Sophie were actually going to grab some coffee." I expressed as I looked over at Soph.
"Yeah I can see that but I'm here now so…" She said and took a hold of my hand but I wasn't really in the mood for hand holding right now so I slipped my hand out of her hold.
"So? So what's that supposed to mean? You just want me to ditch my friend because you decided to show up early?" I snapped at her and she took a step back, she could clearly see how upset I was getting.
"I thought you'd be happy that I'm here." She stated.
"I am! Of course I am but I'm not just going to drop everything as soon as you come. Sophie is my mate." I said a little bit louder than I had meant to, I could tell that both Caz and Sophie was a bit taken aback by how loud I had started to speak. So I took a deep breath and tried my best to calm myself down.
"Yeah I know…" Caz said with a hint of hurt in her eyes which I could tell Sophie reacted too as she flinched a little bit as well.
"It's fine Kate. We can just grab coffee another day." Sophie jumped into our conversation and she put a reassuring hand on my shoulder.
"No I asked you to grab a coffee with me so that's what we will do." I smiled at Sophie as she removed her hand from me probably due to the face that she noticed that Caz was giving her a death glare.
"How about the three of us grabbed some breakfast before work?" I continued and glanced over at Caz. She didn't look very pleased but what was I supposed to do? Just drop everything I'm doing whenever she decides to come home and surprise me. No I don't want to be that kind of person or friend for that matter and I certainly don't want to be in that kind of relationship. It's not healthy everyone knows that.
"I was kind of thinking it could just be the two of us." She tried again.
"Caz if you want to grab breakfast Sophie will join us and that's that." I glared at her. It was almost like we had started our own little staring contest in the middle of the street.
"Oh no Kate really, it's okay. I have already had breakfast and I should probably get to work anyways." Sophie said knowing that she was the main reason for our little dispute.
"Are you sure?" I said quietly and looked into her eyes. She smiled at me reassuringly.
"It's fine. Caz is here now and you should spend some quality time together." She stated before giving me smile and walking away.
"See… she's fine with it." Caz stated as my eyes was following Sophie walking away towards the garage.
"Yeah because you made her feel like she wasn't welcomed!" I snapped my head around and shouted at her. She looked back at me and there was so much anger in her eyes.
"Yeah well that's because she wasn't!" She shouted back at me as I started to walk away.
"Where are you going?" She shouted.
"To breakfast isn't that what you wanted…" I answered and kept on walking.

I walked over to the garage. My dad and Ty was already there hard at work. I could still hear Kate and Caz bickering in the distance… I turned around to look at them I saw Kate storming off and Caz went after her.
"Hey Sophie… I thought your text said you was going to be a little bit later today than usual instead you are early. Wasn't you going to have coffee with Kate?" Kevin asked me while he was looking at a car that had just arrived at the garage.
"Yeah I was but Caz came back early so..." I started saying and looked down at my feet.
"So what she just ditched you when she got something better do to?" He interrupted me. I could tell he didn't approve of it.
"No it wasn't like that. Kate wanted me to join them for breakfast but I didn't really feel up for it." That wasn't entirely untrue. I didn't feel very welcomed but mainly I just didn't want to come between them, I didn't need any more drama in my life. Besides Caz kept glaring at me and it was making me a little bit uncomfortable so I figured the best thing would be for me to leave the situation and let them sort this out on their own.
"Okay… well that worked out for me because I could really need your help with the papers on the car we had in here last week." He stated pointing into the office.
"I will take a look at them." I rolled my eyes and walked into the office.

I don't understand why Kate was being so unreasonable and I certainly don't understand why she was the one who was acting all annoyed and irritated. I'm the one that flew miles just to see her and she rather go to coffee with her mate then eat breakfast with her fiancé… That's just not right.
"Why are you acting like this? Shouldn't you be the one in the dog house?" I stated as her eyes met mine across the table.
"Why should I be? You are the one in the wrong here…" She said trying to keep her voice down not to get any unwanted attention.
"How do you figure that?" I asked her with a frown on my face.
"Well for a start you assumed I would just ditch Sophie as soon as you came here." She sighed.
"You did say you need someone in your corner while I wasn't here…" I muttered and took a zip of the water I had in front of me.
"Yeah and that's true… but that doesn't mean I don't need or want to have friends outside the two of us even when you are around." She said before reaching out to grab my hand that was placed on the table. "Do you understand what I mean?"
"Yeah I guess. I just don't like the idea of sharing you." Kate smiled at me. "Are we okay?" I asked her whilst she started to stroke her thumb over my hand.
"Of course we are. You just need to trust me. Just because I have mates doesn't mean anything will come between us." She leant over the table and kissed me. She's so intoxicating and I will always fight to keep her and even if she was telling me that I have nothing to worry about… I didn't believe her. I know girls like Sophie, just because her former relationships ended in disaster doesn't mean she can butt into mine and Kates relationship.
