"Dawson, did you piss in the coffee?!" Jason quips, causing the three of us to laugh.
I walk around the counter to give them each a hug. "What are you guys doing here?"
Caleb hugs me normally, while Jason picks me up and spins me around. I squeal in surprise, running my fingers through my hair when he puts me down.
"Well I didn't get a chance to talk last night, so I figured I'd come see you." Caleb answers. "He just came along for the free coffee."
"Free coffee, huh?" I say, eyeing up Jason. He gives me puppy dog eyes, causing me to chuckle and walk back behind the counter. It's not like anyone will notice anyway.
I get all four of us coffee and we move to sit on the couch. If business is this slow, we may as well be comfortable. Besides, it's nice getting to see these two idiots again. It’s been way too long.
"So, what have you guys been up to?" I question, lightly blowing on my drink.
Jason shrugs while C
aleb answers. "Killing myself at soccer practice. I’m captain this year.”
"Congratulations!" Dawson and I say in unison.
"Thanks. I'm pretty pumped about it. I'm also Vice President of Kappa Delta Phi."
Jason hits him in the arm with his eyes wide. "Dude. Ick'shnay on the Holden'ay"
I chuckle as Caleb whacks him back playfully. "That’s not Pig Latin.” I tell him.
“That’s not anything Latin.” Dawson corrects.
Jason waves us off and changes the subject, turning his attention to Dawson. "My friend Hannah thinks you're cute. She was at the party last night."
"He's engaged." I point out.
Jason and Caleb look surprised. "Seriously?" Jason asks.
Dawson nods, taking his phone out of his pocket and showing them a picture of him and Skylar in Aruba, right after he asked her to marry him.
"Damn!" Jason yells. "She's fucking hot."
Dawson laughs, knowing he has nothing to worry about. He stopped getting jealous when guys hit on her in grade ten. It's probably why their relationship is so solid.
The four of us sit around, talking about random things. Dawson tells them the story of how he proposed – a story I've heard at least three times but never get tired of hearing. Caleb and Jason talk about how cool it feels to be the big men on campus now. It isn't long before the subject of my ex comes up again.
"Holden said he feels like a king because he's President of Kappa." Caleb jokes.
I smile sadly, looking down at the cup in my hands. "That doesn't surprise me."
Caleb opens and closes his mouth a few times, before finally speaking. "What happened with you two?"
Dawson reaches over and squeezes my leg, making sure I'm okay. I take a deep breath, trying to compose myself before answering.
"We broke up." I reply simply.
"Yeah, I know that, but why do you seem so sad?"
"Why wouldn't I be?" I ask, confused.
Caleb and Jason share a look. "Because you broke up with him for being a douchebag."
"What?!" Dawson and I practically shout.
