The room is spotless when I came back out, deliberately I wear my white shorts, but all male focus is the Xbox.
There's a bowl of cut fruit left on the kitchen bench and I lean over the counter to eat some melon and watch them play.
They sit side by side, stupid headsets on, and they bark orders and give each other shit. Nothings changed.
They laugh loudly and elbows are often thrown as they chase something important, it makes no sense to me.
There's nothing new from Lucy, I'm dying to talk to her, to tell her about last night.
I'm voluntarily seeking out her head shrinking.
Obviously I need my head shrunk.
Donny and I are solid, we're strong. We didn't even hesitate to buy a house together when this place popped up on my listings.
This is your dream home.... You're my everything, all you need to do is ask, it's yours, baby.
That's what he said, anything... and he made it happen.
I didn't think that extended to extra bed partners.
But it wasn't me that asked, was it?
I'm not sure how we got started last night.
What do we do now?
Are we one and done?
One night, and now I stare at that blonde head and those blue eyes and pretend I don't want to bite those sexy, sexy lips?
Cause I do.... Fuck, I really do.
Donny seemed to be the one calling the shots last night, he definitely made the rules this morning. I guess I relax and take it as it comes, Donny always does what's best for me.
I trust him, so I'll trust him now to lake the lead on this.
I take my fruit and find a place on the sofa, I sit on the opposite side to them both and watch them play.
They don't seem to have noticed my entrance, and I shook it as I passed.
I sit there unnoticed for twenty minutes while they banter.
I pout, I toss and turn. Nothing.
Fuck?
Maybe Donny is mad at me now he's had time to reflect... I fucked his best friend.... They were bros long before I was a ho.
Oh god... he's chosen Jerome over me.
I bite my lip and stare at my man, how do I fix this?
I can't lose him.
"Dude! Victory is ours" Donny booms and holds his fist up at Jerome who bumps it almost violently.
"Man, that was intense" Jerome laughs.
For such grown and serious men, they sure do act like children around this thing.
"Man, that was long... oh hey babe? You're back" Donny notices.
"Are you serious? Thea blocked the screen like half an hour ago" Jerome laughs harder.
"I'm sorry, baby. You look lonely over there all own your own" Donny pulls my hands and places me in his lap.
"Well, yeah... these arms aren't over there" I snuggle into his neck and breathe him in.
He's not mad at me.
"Your choice, what do you want to do?" Donny offers as he rubs my back.
My minds goes straight to the bedroom, I want more, more Donny, and more Jerome.
"I dunno, watch a movie I guess. I can grab a blanket and some chips?" I say instead.
"Yeah, I could nap" Donny chuckles, he always falls asleep watching chic flicks.
"Manners... guests choice" I look at Jerome.
Jerome looks at us both, it's clear he's deciding who he wants to impress here.
"Grab those chips and pass me the remote" Jerome smirks.
"Alexa, it's show time" Donny says out loud and smacks my ass with a laugh because he knows Jerome better than I do.
The blinds come down automatically, the lamps all turn off and the surround sound speakers come to life. The AC pumps out colder air from the ducts overhead.
When we moved in together, the only thing Donny insisted on was home automation, I do admit it's very convenient and flashy.
