The Renga Project

Joe

So, I slept with Kaoru, and it wasn't so bad. And I suggested being friends with benefits. Why did I even say that? I've never slept with a man before, but when I did it with him, I liked it. I don't remember everything but from what I do, it sounded like I had a good night. I wonder how it would be to do it again, but actually remember it? But I don't like men. I mean I don't? It doesn't really matter right? It was just sex not a long term thing. And it's Kaoru its not that bad. Shit I have no clue what I'm going to say to him now. Should I apologize again? No he said he didn't care so it won't matter if I do.

Cherry: I'm done showering

Joe: Did you get everything out

Cherry: I think so

Joe: That's good

Joe: (in thought) What the hell do I say now

Cherry: About what you said. The friends with benefits part

Joe: Don't take it too seriously I just woke up and-

Cherry: I'll do it.

Joe: Wait what

Cherry: I mean I didn't hate last night

Joe: Ok. I have no idea how those things work

Cherry: You're the one who suggested it

Joe: You're right. We stay friends, but when one of us wants to do it we tell the other and if they're ok with it we do it.

Cherry: That's ok. Also why were you mad yesterday

Joe: When?

Cherry: When you brought me Here you were mad about something but I'm not sure what

Joe: I mean I don't really remember. What were we talking about?

Cherry: We were talking about my client I think. Out of nowhere you started getting mad and you said something about "using my body"

Joe: So I really am the one who started this

Cherry: Yes

Joe: But why would I get mad over that

Cherry: I don't know you tell me

Joe: I have no clue

Cherry: You should probably get showered it's nine already and we have plans with Reki and Langa at 10

Joe heads into the bathroom

Joe: (in thought) Why the hell did I get so mad. It's just about his client, Mr. Usui. Why did he make me so upset?

"Cherry: Me and Mr. Usui are really close.

Joe: How close are we talking?

Cherry: We talk at least once a week about our lives.

Joe: On the phone or in person

Cherry: Depends on our schedules

Joe: When you meet in person where to you usually meet

Cherry: A hotel

Joe: That bastard

Cherry: Why is he a bastard?

Joe: Is he using you just for his body

Cherry: In a way I guess so

Joe moves his chair closer to where Cherry is sitting

Joe: (whispering into Cherry's ear) Then let me use you too

Cherry: What do you mean

Joe: Do you like men

Cherry: Yes I've told you that before. Why do you even ask?

Joe: Put the bill on our tab

Joe grabs Cherry's wrist and they leave the bar

Cherry: Where are you taking me?

Joe: To our room"

Joe: (in though) Wait did I really say those things. Kaoru said it was his first time. Does that mean he didn't sleep with Mr. Usui? Why meet in a hotel then? He has a chain of resorts and hotels; it was probably just a restaurant in the hotel. And Usui used his body by having him write his signs. I feel stupid. So was I jealous? Me jealous over Kaoru? Why? I've never been interested in him that way. Why now? Did Usui trigger something? No, I don't like him. I was probably just horny. Yes that's what it was. I was horny and I slept with him because of that, not anything else. And now we're friends with benefits. I hate that title because it sounds over-used.

Joe finished showering and gets ready for his day
