The clock struck ten thirty in the morning and I was still on my bed, looking out of the window and thinking about whether to go downstairs or not, as I was already aware of what would happen. 

It was going to be super awkward!

I wasn't ready to face Lily and Zinnia after what happened yesterday. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't control myself from being irascible. 

I sat up and ran my hands through my mussed hair. I got up and did my morning routine before going downstairs to face Lily and Zinnia and also to get my coffee. Not a day passed without it irrespective of what happened. 

I went to the kitchen to see a filled coffee pot and my mug next to it. There wasn't any sign of Lily and Zinnia. 

Did they abandon me because of what happened yesterday? Then they should've done it a long time ago. 

I took a seat, poured coffee into my mug and began to drink it when Zinnia and Lily came from the backyard, laughing, with a pile of clothes that were out for drying in their hands. Upon seeing me, their laughter faded. Lily smiled at me while Zinnia didn't even glance at me. I smiled back at Lily and looked down at the mug, circling my fingers on it's rim. They went to the laundry room to array the clothes while I was chewing my bottom lip nervously. 

"Good morning," said Lily, walking to the counter.

"Morning." I smiled. 

Lily was standing across the counter without saying anything but smiling. I returned her a smile and took a quick glance at Zinnia who was sitting at the dining table. 

Super awkward. 

"How's the coffee?" Lily asked me.

"It's good. As usual," I replied. 

"Hey," I called Lily after a few minutes of pin drop silence. "I'm sorry."

Lily looked at me and smiled. "It's fine, El. I get it that you were frustrated about something yesterday and with that we..." she trailed off.

"Don't blame yourself everytime guys. It is me. It is always me," I said.

She sighed. "Let that be anything. How is your headache? Are you good now?" she asked.

"Yeah." I nodded my head. 

Lily's eyes went sideways to where Zinnia was and then to me. I got it right away and turned my head towards Zinnia who was reading a newspaper. 

"Zin," I called to which she snapped her head towards me.

I patted on the wooden chair next to me and flashed her a genuine smile. She walked towards me with the newspaper in her hands and sat down with a blank face. 

"Sorry..." I sang, gritting my teeth.

"Fucking bub." I chuckled and gave her a hug to which she didn't respond. "I'm still mad at you," she said, crossing her arms.

"No, you can't," I said as I looked at her with my puppy dog eyes and a pout on my lips, my hands still wrapped around her.
