For The Love Of Clair

Part 20-Clair

    A year ago I would not have expected to end up in this situation. The day I met Robyn I knew she was the love of my life. The way she looked into my eyes with her perfect smile. Her hair tied in a high ponytail so I was able to see her face and every perfect part of it. I wanted to stay with her and have her in my life. She was my first friend after moving to Chicago. I was excited to see what our friendship would turn into. The way she first looked at me I knew she felt the same. There was a spark. The spark got stronger, so strong it became a lightning bolt. I soon learned to love her and want nothing but her.
I found myself staying up at nights thinking about her. Writing poems about her and letters that I'd want to send her. I even painted her without a picture reference because her face was engraved in my mind like it's always been there. I could never tell her all this because I didn't want to scare her away. I wasn't even sure she was into girls until the night we went to the club. She had been waiting outside for me all night before heading in. I knew she cared about me at that moment and had to show her I cared back, with a kiss. I went in and pressed my face onto hers not ever sure she would kiss me back, until her mouth began to move with mine. The butterflies fluttered all throughout my body and I knew she was the one.
However, there was also Enzo. The moment I met him I thought he was just like the other men. He looked at my body, my legs, as if he was seeing if I was worth having around. I was quick to judge him by his initial reaction because he turned out to be one of the sweetest men I know. He may have been the first man in my life to ever treat a woman with such respect. As we walked around the office building she shared facts about himself as if he wanted to make a great first impression and try to amaze me. He told me about how he travelled a lot in his 20s and had a lot of drunk mistakes before settling in Chicago where he grew up with his brother, Cameron-who is now my brother-in-law. He told me how he got into business and that he always followed what his father told him so he wouldn't be a disappointment. How he had a soft spot for his little brother is what got me. He looked like he was about to cry after telling me about how his brother is treated by his parents. Even had me tearing up.
He was empathetic and so caring on the inside that his muscles and beautiful eyes and the floppy brown hair never mattered to me. He was the supportive type that dropped everything to come and see me when I found out my mother had passed. I felt bad for not calling him first that night because of how he treated me. I liked how when we had sex it wasn't him who pused for it. I knew he wanted it because he let me know through his body language but still was respectful by not mentioning how he wanted to fuck me.  I knew I needed him too.
I was still trying to decide who I should go for when they found out I was seeing both of them. My heart beat out of my chest that whole week, I was afraid it would stop beating. I thought I was going to lose both of them. I felt evil about getting in the way of their marriage even though I didn't know they were married. I hated that I wanted them to risk their marriage just so I could get the treatment both of them were giving me. They were the only people I had in Chicago, I couldn't lose them.
When Robyn suggestded the idea of a polyamory relationship I wanted to burst out in tears of joy. She wanted things to work with us and I was so grateful that she still wanted me after finding out I slept with her literal husband. I was even more happy when Enzo said he'd give it a try.
Later on in the relationship Robyn told me that This whole situation actually made her and Enzo stronger together and that she appreciates me coming along. It felt like she was thanking me for being the mistress to both sides of the affair but I didn't tell her that.
Five months later we got married and it was one of  the best days of my life. I was confused on how it would work but it all went perfectly. The dresses, the venue, everything. My family is still adjusting to the fact that I have a husband and a wife but I'm sure they'll get used to it eventually.
I love where we ended up and how we work so well. I was able to quit my job at the office and work with Robyn in the cafe because Enzo was bringing bigger money to support us anyways so it would work. I moved in with them in their house and we got a bigger bed to fit all three of us. It was very comfortable too, except we had to install a ceiling fan because of how warm it would get because of our body heat.
Their families are very supportive about the whole situation as well. Robyn's family more than Enzo's. But I'm not concerned. Enzo's mother will be more than happy to find out I am pregnant.
Robyn and I stayed asleep in the mornings while Enzo would get ready for work. He loved to wake up very gently and softly. Today I woke up to his mouth pressing against my belly and his hand brushing through Robyn's hair.
"You can't sleep all day my loves," he said. Robyn and I groaned tiredly.

The End!
