Emerging from the closet i smooth my tousled hair down and look up my eyes meeting Mia who stands between a clothing rack.

"Hey! We've been looking every-" Tom steps out from behind her my eyes drinking up his tall figure and my throat tightens. My hands drop to my sides as Bill walks around inside the storage closet behind me, fastening his belt. Mia's words cut off when her gaze meets Bill redressing himself.

"Oh!" she says her hand slapping over her mouth, "Sorry, I- I didn't know, you were..." I glance at Tom his jaw tightening as he grits his teeth. A gut wrenching feeling of guilt hits my stomach pushing downwards. My mouth slightly ajar, Tom walks off towing Mia in his hand behind him. I actually feel guilty for having sex with Bill. I have every right not to, i should be proud to be with Bill, I AM proud to be with Bill. But there's just something with Tom that i can't seem to shake. I'm such a piece of shit for feeling the slightest bit of attraction i do for Tom, they're fucking twins for christ sake June. But my strange feelings for him aren't even reciprocated so i decide to shove them deep down where no one will ever find them. Lock them up and throw away the key. I can never think about Tom like that again, i tell myself. Never.

"What was that about?" Bill questions behind me, making me jump as i was deep in my thoughts

"Mia was looking for us i guess..."

"Do you think they know?" He asks as he side eyes me

"Mhm." i manage as i bite my lip, the guilt seeps back into my torso as i picture Tom's shocked face

"Good." Bill says weaving himself through the clothing racks and exiting the store.
