Freddie's POV

When the phone call ended I realized this might actually be a new beginning for me.  I had not known Jim long, but he was so much my type of man and we seemed to click with each other.  I loved his quiet nature but admired his belief in himself and easy going demeanor.  And - he makes me laugh!  I certainly giggled more than once during our long distance phone call.  He seemed to enjoy my tittering.  I sure did.  With a promise to see each other after the tour ends, we left things at that - promising.  I found myself considering the quick demise of my situation with Winnie.  Between the language barrier and the jealous games we seem to play with each other, it has become tiresome and lost its luster.  I was also tiring of Munich.

I got up from the bed and tightened the belt on my kimono and walked out of my room.  Curious to see if Brian and Roger were still in my suite.  The large dining table still contained our un-played game of Scrabble and the door to the other bedroom was closed.  I did see Roger's cigarettes still laying on the table and knew he was still here.  Him and Brian both.  I grinned with delight as I walked to the bar to get myself a nightcap.  I took a drink of vodka and it felt good going down my throat.  I went in search of my cigarettes and found Roger's were the closest ones so I stole one from his packet.  I grinned at the ignored setup for a night of game playing and walked to the large plush sofa and plopped down as I grabbed the remote for the television.  I flipped through the channels as I smoked and sipped my vodka and soon found an old classic film.  It was one I didn't know but I instantly recognized the star - Rita Hayworth.  I grinned as I adjusted the volume and proceeded to watch as I waited for my friends to finish their secret tryst in my suite.  Feeling devilish for instigating their time together.

Roger's POV

I was nestled against Brian's chest as we laid in the bed together.  Despite Freddie's obvious intent, we had not got naked and got busy with each other.  We had preferred to simply enjoy just being alone and being together.  Brian had his arm wrapped around me and we were silent as we savored the quiet.  We both missed these times.   I am not sure how much time passed before Brian spoke.

"I guess we have to go back..."  he finally announced.  I lifted my hand and saw it was almost 4 in the morning.  He was right.  We needed to return to our rooms.  We had been here for several hours.  It was time to get back to Dom and Chrissie.  I let out a sigh at the realization.  

"I guess so..."  I replied as I slowly pulled away from him.  Letting the bedclothes slide off me.  I had tucked in since I was cold.  Brian pulled me back down as I sat up and we shared a lingering kiss.  His hand stroking my arm as we struggled to let go of each other.  We finally parted and both slid from the bed to find our shoes.  Putting them back on as we pondered returning to reality.  I walked to the door and slowly opened it.  I peered out and saw Freddie had fallen asleep on the sofa watching a film.  I felt Brian peering over my shoulder and we both began walking quietly out of the bedroom and tiptoed to the main door of the suite.  We reached the door and we stopped.  Looking at each other and knowing we shouldn't leave together.  Brian nodded and opened the suite door and slipped out as I stood and waited for my turn.  I watched Freddie on the sofa and didn't want to wake him.  I counted to twenty and then slipped out the door.  Walking gingerly to my suite and back to my bed with Dom.

Freddie's POV

I woke up to the sound of knocking on my suite door.  I realized I was on the sofa and the television was showing nothing but the off air signal from the station.
