Two's company, three's a crowd (Part 2) || Tara & Sam Carpenter

Sam and you had been dating for a few months now. Everything was going well; you both loved each other, you were happy together... Yet you couldn't help but think about Tara.

Lately, you had started to spend time with her again, and you couldn't deny you missed it. You missed her. You missed what you had. Which yourself you didn't understand considering it wasn't the best situation.

You didn't know if you should talk about it with Sam. Morally, it would be more correct to do it, but you were sure it would hurt her. On the other hand, if you didn't tell her and she found out by herself, it would be even worse.

She wasn't stupid, you were sure she'd notice something was off. And she did notice.

"You know you can tell me if something's wrong, right?" she told you one day while you were cuddling on her bed

"I-I know, but nothing's wrong..."

"Y/n..."

She stopped stroking your hair and looked at you seriously.

"... okay maybe not everything is fine..." you sighed and sat up, trying to find out how to phrase it "I love you, I really do... But I think I still have feelings for Tara as well..."

You could see she was hurt, and you felt bad for being the one hurting her.

"I thought you said you were over her...?"

"I thought I was..."

Sam sat beside you, visibly thinking about what to say next.

"... What do we do then? Do we... do we stop here...?"

"I... I don't want to stop seeing you... I love you, I-"

"But you also love Tara..."

You looked down, biting your lip, your heart sinking in your chest at the thought you might have ruined everything.

"... I think she likes you too"

You looked back at her, frowning.

"What makes you say that?"

"The way she looks at us, at you..." she paused "What are you going to do...?"

"I don't know... I- I thought about a kind of poly relationship before we started dating, but like- make it work so it wouldn't be weird..." you said quietly, almost to yourself "I'm a bit lost, but I know that I don't want to lose you..."

You took her hand in yours. You meant it; you just didn't know what you'd do if you lost her.

"... Would that make you happy? The 'poly relationship', would it make you happy?"

"I- yes, I think so. Why?"

"If it makes you happy... I'm ok to try"

You were stunned by her words, obviously not expecting to hear that. You weren't even suggesting to do that.

"Y-you'd do that...?"

She nodded.

You looked at her and hugged her tightly.

"Thank you!" you pulled away slightly "If you ever want to stop it, I promise I will. Just tell me. I want you to be happy too"

She smiled and kissed you on the lips.

"I love you" she whispered

"I love you too, Sam"

You were happy that your girlfriend agreed to try the 'poly relationship'. Now you just had to talk to Tara about it. You just didn't know how to bring it up. You were currently hanging out in a park near the flat.
