My Triplet Lovers

My Turn (Travis' POV)

- Travis' POV -

"Maya... A name simple yet beautiful, a beauty a girl like you possess"

That's what I felt I should tell her but it came out differently and it went more like...

"Nice to meet you Maya! I hope to get to know you better."

It wasn't all bad but there was actually more to it. It never occurred to me that I'd been holding her hand this whole time the two of us were talking but I gotta be honest, That was a heavenly feeling, as if I was holding hands with an angel such as herself.

I never thought once of letting go but I had to at some point, I didn't want to scare her or make her feel uncomfortable with me, especially since this was our first meeting.

When I finally let go, I couldn't help but just smile the whole time and I guess she saw it too so somehow in my embarrassment, I looked away slowly but still took small glances at her from time to time during and after Trevor was talking to her.

All I could do was wait and see their interaction 'cause aside from what she made me feel, it may be different for Trevor but to my surprise, He was holding her hand the way I did looking like we never intended to let go.

It's been a while or more so a rare thing I've seen from Trevor.

He never thinks of actually holding someone's hand that long.

He looked like he was stuck in a pause just staring at her and that look Trevor gave, I knew she captured his heart as well.

I know these things about him well since me and Trevor got more closer growing up where he tells me everything specially when he's uncomfortable or whether there's a secret he's hiding but even without pointing it out, it's obvious to me when there's something up with him whether it's a problem or he's been attracted by a beautiful maiden which is what looks like what's happening now.

I love my brothers but I hope what thoughts I have now isn't what's really going on.

I hope they don't think of Maya the same way as I do...

At this point, I'm just trying to be hopeful that things aren't what they would seem...

All of us were done introducing at some point and she was looking back and forth with all three of us, I didn't bother to ask why 'cause it seemed obvious she was trying to familiarize all three of us just not to get all confused with any of us I assume.

When she was ready to talk again, she went to Troy and whispered something to him.

I understood immediately that it was something personal or private since after she told Troy something, he right away came close to us and asked if we could step outside just for a few minutes and of course explaining to the other friend that came with them what he just missed.

Once the door shut close, sure I wanted to give them some space but I couldn't help but wonder if what they're talking about was us or more importantly, I wondered if I gave off a good first impression to her 'cause I think it would be easier to perhaps talk to her after this. I mean, I do really want to get to know her first but even so, before all that, my feelings for her came in first.

In the end, I just decided I'd meet their friend first.

It seemed like more than 10 minutes has passed and they still were inside talking.

I didn't want to think too much into this so I just thought I'd ask a little bit more of Luke.

After what felt like an hour, we were done getting to know some bits about each other but they still weren't so again, I just chose to distract myself by doing something else since Trevor and Luke's busy talking to each other this time, I decided to just listen to Trevor and Luke's topic which is to my surprise, the topic was actually Maya.

"Wait, are you two talking about Maya? why?" I asked. Trevor got all shy before telling me that...

"I just got a little curious about Maya so I asked Luke since they're actually childhood best friends!" Trevor happily informed me.

"Yeah, we actually just got to see each other a few months ago because of Troy" said Luke.

Hmmm... A childhood best friend?

Another thought came into mind, was Luke ever enchanted by Maya's charms like how I am now?

I didn't want to ask too directly or they both could find out what I feel for her so I put it in some sort of joke or more like teasing him about Maya to see how he'll react.

“Hmmm... childhood best friends? or could it be childhood sweethearts?”

I smirked at him at the end of what I said but deep inside I wish I was wrong and luckily, I was! He started laughing and said something that somehow relieved me.

“Hahahaha, Maya? Never. Believe me, she'd say the same too although we do get that a lot when we were younger but both of us would just say yuck since we treat each other more like family like she's a little sister to me”

Well, it did sound and feel like the truth so I'll be trusting his words for now.

After I got that all cleared, I was still wondering why Troy and Maya were taking too long.

In the end, I broke. I couldn't wait any longer and just chose to lean in on the door and listen.

I couldn't hear anything because apparently they were done and I just found out right at the moment I heard a “click” sound come from the door knob as the knob turned and the door opened slowly making the wood surrounding it make a creaking sound like in horror films when something's about to go wrong...

“Tick tock as the clock goes, heart keeps racing

Am I ready for what I'll be facing?”
