Tea-time

I ordered mint tea for Mia and myself while Sasha ordered black tea and Diane ordered juice for herself as we found quite comfortable seats near the window in café on the corner.

"So big bro, I can call you that right? What do you want to know?" Asked Sasha as she blew her tea to cool it down a bit.

I took a sip of my tea before I responded "Of course, I don't mind you calling me that but it seems like my little princess is getting a bit jealous here." I chuckled as I saw Mia getting restless in the seat beside me, after my words she blushed a bit and bowed her head down.

"I'm interested in the storied my sister told you about me?" I said and I noticed Mia raised her head and sent a glare in the direction of Sasha who just ignored her with a chuckle.

"Of course, it's not a problem at all; she talks a lot about you so this might take some time to recount."

"We have a bit of time, school just started and I doubt you have too much of homework to finish, that is if you don't mind wasting time feeding the ego of mine." I said but soon enough I feel pain coming from my left hand and I noticed Mia was pinching me hard with blush on her face, hoh seems like my sister is embarrassed with me.

"Seems like Mia has something to say." Sasha said with a sly smile on her face, looks like she is enjoying the current situation my sister is in.

"N…no, I don't have anything to say." Mia replied quietly, it sounded like mosquito buzzing unlike her usual confident and cheerful voice, now I really want to hear what she told about me.

"Well she talks about you on every chance she gets but most of it is just bragging that's why I wanted to meet you, unfortunately little Mia here was reluctant on introducing you to us, that's why I thought she overpraised you but seeing you now seems I was wrong, she looks like she's afraid of her brother being stolen from her." Said Sasha while Diane started giggling beside her.

Mia sent another glare but upon noticing me watching her she bowed her blushing head once more and kept quiet.

"Oh I didn't think she would be praising me so much that you would have to check it personally." I added as I scanned them once more, they were quite beautiful girls for their age, of course I have no other thought about them because they are same age as my sister and are also her friends so I behaved like they were my sisters too. Sasha had long golden hair that ended up in locks and her brown eyes seemed to shine with wisdom of someone above her age. Diane on the other hand seemed more shy girl, she had long black hair with bangs covering her forehead trying to hide at least a little her beauty, unfortunately that was far from enough. I switched my sight to Mia and her long wavy chestnut colored hair, she raised her head and looked at me with her brown colored eyes full of youth and vigor, I chuckled at that sight and continued sipping my tea.

"So what fables did my little sister tell you about me?" I asked cheerfully while I tried to imagine what kind of story my sister had to tell to make these two so interested in me.

"They were fables indeed, but that was until we met you that is, it turned out her words held more truth than we guessed. You were handsome knight with short golden hair and most beautiful smiles of all, with strength to defeat all and courage to fight anything and everything against all odds. Well that is most of the things she repeated through the multiple of her stories about you." Sasha said with her eyes on me waiting for my reaction.

"Oh interesting, I didn't know I was such a mighty hero in her eyes, I'm afraid I might disappoint her one day if she keeps that image of me." I chuckled once more; I am chuckling a lot don't i? Well it is quite hilarious hearing this story about me.

"Oh but I don't find anything wrong with what she said now, you are indeed handsome and courageous as she said." Sasha said as she underlined words handsome and courageous.

"Haha you must be joking, you met me for the first time and you decided I was courageous, I must thank you for the compliment of my looks though, even though I find my looks quite average." I said with the shake of my head, I slowly raised my hand and petted my sister's head; she was like a little kitten raising her head asking for more.

"Not at all, it doesn't take much to see your extraordinary bearing and attitude, so great yet so humble, oh my I think I'm falling in love with you." Said Sasha with a smile and the tea I was drinking almost went full reverse once I heard the last part of her sentence. I look at her with disbelieve in my eyes as she chuckled noticing my reaction.

"You must be joking, it's not nice pulling my leg like that, and you almost gave me a heart attack there."

"Oh you seem to think I was joking, how may I prove it to you then?" She asked with the same smile on her face, I kept looking at her trying to find any sign of teasing but without luck, she seems to be serious, but that can't be, how can a 15 year old girl fall in love with me as easy as that. I switched my vision to Diane and she didn't have any unexpected reaction on her face but I can feel strong pain coming from my left arm.

"Let's switch the topic then, I'm afraid I can't reply you currently." I answered, to be honest I was little embarrassed right now, I mean this is actually first time some girl told me she liked me, even though it might turn out as a joke later.
