My Triplet Lovers

Our Little Joke (Trevor's POV)

“Ooh, that didn't go well-”

I thought to myself as the look of grimace started to form on my face because of another awkward moment born.

“Well, at least it wasn't my fault this time.”

I thought to myself but it didn't change the fact that this moment was still awkward.

I couldn't say a word to either of them...

Because of this, I decided to scoot over to sit right behind Travis because this was too awkward to bare with her being quiet with the joke Travis pulled off after it failed or didn't go well as it usually did.

It didn't take long for Travis though to notice that it made her uncomfortable at least so he of course apologized as soon as possible, but the way he apologized at first was more of an assurance that she didn't get it wrong but he could still tell that she's still bothered by it.

He isn't usually a person who's straightforward when it comes to apologizing since he doesn't want to make the feeling too serious that's why he'd go for jokes when he's trying to say sorry.

Don't get him wrong, he's sincere and definitely feels bad whenever something like this happens specially when he causes it, he just doesn't know how to put it into words.

Knowing Travis this way, it was much of a surprise when he starts being serious and started sharing what this little joke of ours was and what it meant to us just to lessen the confusion for her.

After he explained, she wasn't mad at all which was good to know but now thinking about it, how did the others react when we used to do this when we were much younger?

I mean, sure as kids it might've looked cute to our family and just some silly joke we did when it came to our friends but now that we're at least around our teenage years, what would the others think when we start doing this joke again?

Knowing that all three of us have done this through the years, we've become better at acting or pretending to be each other that you can't really tell the difference between the original than the one who's pretending.

Seeing her reaction, it's like she's already doubting whether she'd trust us, not a smart thought to be honest for meeting someone for the first time but I might've done the same because when Travis started the joke on her, it didn't seem as bad not until I saw that look on her face that I started to realize it was REALLY bad. I was still worried for her after what happened but I didn't want to worry any longer because pretty sure if she noticed it was bothering me too, she'd look twice as worried from before so I shifted my attention to something else.

I decided that I'd try catching small glimpses of her again to see if Travis' choice of words this time changed anything.

It eventually did and she didn't look so worried anymore.

When Travis noticed it too, he didn't want to waste any more time and went straight to asking more about her.

I can hear the excitement in his voice when he started asking and the twinkle of anticipation in his eyes awaiting her response.

I was glad to see him this happy so I let him do all the talking for now because aside from him happy to be talking to her, I still didn't know what to say to either of them so I just sat there in the corner listening in on them so I could pick up some ideas of what to say from what Travis was asking her.

There I just thought long and hard 'til I could come up with something while Travis carried on asking.

Not long after though, I noticed Maya looking in my direction and no one was talking. I was thinking too much into this that I didn't notice whether they spoke to me or asked me anything.

I was panicking at the thought that they might've said something to me and I didn't even answer it and could make me look like I didn't care about either of them at all or even meeting her.

I was too embarrassed that I couldn't even ask either of them if they said anything or asked anything.

But now looking at them, only Maya was looking my way while Travis was still focused staring towards Maya's direction so maybe it was just Maya that said something to me.

It still didn't make things any better because it didn't change the fact that it looked like I wasn't paying attention.

What do I do??

WHAT DO I DO??

Soon enough Travis noticed Maya was busy with something else and saw that she was looking at me.

Travis got worried something was wrong so he asked if I was alright.

“Y-yeah, I was just thinking of a question to ask... sorry I'm taking so long...”

I answered.

After what I said, Maya scooted over closer to us and said...

“Hey it's alright, We've got plenty of time and if you want, I can be the one to do the asking this time if that's alright with you?”

she said with her voice making every word sound like a sweet little symphony which helped calm my mind.

My thoughts were at ease and I finally spoke a little more comfortable around her now even if she is pretty new to me.

“Oh, it's alright with me. Thank you! I'll be ready to answer!”

I answered very much happily!

Travis looked at me all surprised and with a proud smile he said...

“Ooh! haven't seen that side of you for a while, glad to see you comfortable with her already which is a really great sign, I'll let you do the talking for now with Trevor”

He stood up as if he was about to leave and patted me on the back before he did.

Sure I was comfortable around her now but it didn't mean that I finally had a lot to say to her!

Luckily though, before he opened the door and leave, she stopped him on his tracks and assured him no one was gonna get left behind and she'd share an equal attention to both of us when we talk to her and just like that, Travis sat back down near us and continued on with getting to know one another.
