"He doesn't want me." I mumbled.
"Any man would be foolish not to want you, y/n."
"He can't see me with this." I said pointing to the hickey.
"I know just the thing." he said racing upstairs. He jogged back down with a bag.
"Lay on the couch I'll be right there, love."
I did as he said. I must have dozed off because I woke up to quiet a surprise.
••••••••••••••••••••••
"Would you like another?" Robert asked, I lifted my head from the couch
"I said only one." John mentioned.
I stood up and turned.
"So did she." Robert smiled.
"Well, what's a fifth-sixth?.... How many drinks have a had?" John asked Robert.
I don't know how it happened but, Robert managed to get John drunk. I checked my phone and saw in the reflection that the hickey was gone.
"Morning sleeping beauty." Robert smiled. John turned and stood up from his chair.
He stumbled over to me. I was stif.
He hugged me. He pulled me in tight for a great big hug.
"A-are you mad?" I asked.
"No, I get it he was your Jessica. I'm glad you didn't marry him though." John said.
"Um... We Gould go home then, right?" I mentioned.
"Yes. You drive, I'm knackered." John told me stumbling to the front door.
"Thank you Robert!" I shouted as I chased after John.
"Do you think if Godzilla had a cat things would have changed?"
"John, not now."
"Do you think if he just had a lady?"
"What?"
"I mean I she didn't run off with other men and they didn't fight all the time."
"John." I warned him.
"Would he have been happy?"
"I don't know! He's fucking Godzilla for Christ sake!" I shouted.
The rest of the ride was quiet. I got him sobered up as he forgave me.
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
John and I have been dating for months after the Robert thing but.... I'm still seeing Robert. Every once in a while he'll come over or I'll go there and we'll.... Yes I'm cheating on John. There's just something about Robert.
John is great, and so is Robert. Yet I'm not supposed to like Robert I think that's exactly why I do.
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Robert stood up, and slid his boxers back on. I got up as well and started getting dressed.
"You better be going." Robert said.
"Why?"
"He gets home in a bit."
I stood up and he turned around. I kissed him quickly, before gathering the rest of my things.
"You know we've never spent more than 48 hours together." Robert said, sadly.
"Well, that's because of John."
"No. Don't blame him. He did nothing wrong."
"Rob-"
"Maybe there's a reason we can't spend that time together."
"A part of me still loves you!" I shouted.
"What part?" he asked, "I can't just be a pit stop on-"
"You're more than that Robert!" I yelled.
"Look, I love you courage and-"
"Don't tell me what you love about me! You chose John you chose this-You chose him!" Robert started arguing.
"I chose a man I could love for more than a fucking week Robert!"
Silence.
"I'm sorry-I shouldn't have-."
"No." he cut me off. "Your right."
"I'm sorry but John I have a future with him and-"
"Then you should kill it." he said, "The part of you that still loves me."
He started to leave.
"Robert-"
"No." he said exiting.
