Are you assuming these girls are into you and want more from the relationship, or have they directly approached you and said they want more, putting you in the position of directly refusing them?
If the former, there's no problem. Don't read into something that may not be there.
If the latter, and they request a direct response, I'd say something along these lines...
"Hey, Anna, I think we have a really good friendship. For me, it's about perfect right as it is. I don't want to take it any further, but I would hate to lose what we have, because I really appreciate you as a friend. Does that work for you?"
And maybe it will work for them, maybe it won't. You won't find out unless you're direct. Maybe you're one of several possible options they're considering, and hearing that you're only looking for friendship will help clarify their options. Maybe they'll be put out and won't want to be friends at all - that's up to them. Maybe you're not interested now, but somewhere down the line you'll change your mind when you get to know them even better (or your options become more limited). Just be clear, and things will be okay.
