eight: do i like juan?

Sydney
A yawn escapes my mouth as I watch the boys run out of the tunnel to start the second half. They've been in the lead the entire time which is why I'm ready to go home. Jordan and Juan have been playing so good which is a plus meaning nobody will be upset in the house. I've been sitting with Sydel, Ayesha, Mychal, and Hazel during the games and I honestly love it. They took me in like a sister and have been giving me great advice when it's comes to life, men, etc.

"So how is it living with Juan and Jordan?"

"It's going good my shoulders just hurt."

Widening my eyes I turn to them realizes how that might sound.

"Before y'all stop the nasty comments it's not like that. We just have sleepovers and they both lay their heavy ass head on my shoulders."

"Oh ok", Hazel side eyes me.

"What? I'm telling the truth."

"Whatever you say girl."

Everyone takes a sip from their drinks and I take one from mine avoiding eye contact with everyone. I know I said Juan just got out a relationship but he has been looking cute lately...no cuter than Jordan though. I had went in his room the day time he was getting out the shower. The way the towel hugged his waist I had to cross my legs just thinking back on the memory. The way the water glistened and glide over his abs and tattoos it was like a scene right out of fifty shades of grey. It's just something different bout Juan and I honestly think it has to do with his age. Jordan is very mature for twenty three but Juan I just don't know it's like the level maturity I didn't know I needed in my life. With the boys I get something different from each of them, but they are similar in certain aspects. They both make me laugh which is major because I can't be with a boring man.

Oh my god.

Do I like Juan? The way I'm talking is really taking me by surprise. I've never seen Juan that type of way and always look up to him as a big brother. Please save the sweet home Alabama jokes. This is not how I have my life set up. I can't be liking on two men I just can't do it.

I look over to Mychal and see that she's already staring at me. She places her hand on my knee giving it a quick pay before smiling at me.

"It's going to be ok. Other people have gone through similar situations don't stress about it."

"Yeah I guess so."

I look towards the bench to see Jordan looking back at me. His chubby cheeks break out in a big smile as he gives me a small wave. I playfully blow him a kiss and mouth to him that he needs to pay attention. Being the goofy boy he his he gives me a salute before turning his attention back on the court.

The boys won which is good, but know I'm just waiting for Juan to come out of the locker room and Jordan to be done with his post game interview. If it was up to me I would've been left but they just had to see me before they saw me again at home. Make it make sense right. If I had a medical degree I would say these two have separation anxiety real bad when it comes to me.

"Hola princesa."

"Hey Juan you played good tonight."

"Thank you thank you."

He joins me on the floor since there are no chairs out in the hallway.

"Did you have a good time tonight?"

"I did, but I'm hella tired now."

I lay my head on his shoulder releasing a yawn so he can get the idea.

"Yeah me too."

"I'm going to sleep in tomorrow since I don't have any meetings I just have to the office."

"Why?"

I shrug my shoulders but I know the answers. When I was in college I was diagnosed with ADHD so my attention span isn't that great and I tend to get bored with things really fast. That's why I'm so strict when it comes to my everyday life so I can stay on track. Jordan is aware of this, but not Juan...eventually I will tell him.

"Just to have a new atmosphere to work in. The office is getting kind of boring."

"Understandable."

Jordan exits the press room and runs over to us to give me a hug.

"You played good tonight."

"Thank you thank you."

They are twins and don't even know it.

"I think we should celebrate and finish the wine bottles we have in the liquor cabinet."

"Y'all had me at wine let's hurry up and get home."

Omniscient
The three of them sat on the couch watching Netflix as empty liquor bottles covered the entire coffee table. It was safe to say that they were drunk, but still holding a conversation.

"And then I texted her saying she's never going to find another nigga that's going to please her the way I do."

Syd and Jordan shake their heads laughing at Juan as he was telling them about the argument he and his ex had.

"Or niggas."

Jordan and Juan turn their heads at their roommate shocked that she even said that.

"Please elaborate on what you mean."

They had an idea of what she was trying to say but wanted to hear her say it for clarification.

"I'm just saying what if she participates in a threesome", she shrugs her shoulders.

"Would you want a threesome", Jordan asked.

"Hell yeah having two fine niggas just fucking me...that's a dream", she smiles.

"You don't want it to be one guy and another girl."

The young woman turned to Juan and gave him a dumb look. He couldn't help but laugh because she most definitely looked tipsy and was going to regret it the next morning.

"Would you want to have a threesome with us?"

Jordan wasn't playing around unlike Juan and meant business trying to get the answer out of her. He's been having a crush on her since he moved in and he wasn't going to miss this opportunity.

"I mean I wouldn't mind."

The two men nod their heads and give each other a look. On the other hand, Sydney was slowly falling asleep laying her head in Juan's lap. Jordan grabs a blanket placing it over her body.

Jordan
Shocked not even the right word to describe how I feel.

Juan
When I tell you a nigga is baffled a nigga is baffled
