Grace's Gap Year In Australia

Grace's Gap Year In Australia- Part Twenty-Six

I beckoned the boys to follow me and they quickly said their goodbyes to the girls before jogging down the stairs in tow.

Once we were all strapped into the Golf, I turned in the passenger seat. “To your house, please,” I told Beau.

He stepped on the gas and we were sat comfortably in their living room within five minutes. I was sat cross-legged on the armchair whilst the boys were on the long couch, all turned toward me in anticipation for a suspected speech.

“This needs sorting out,” I stated. “I can’t juggle all three of you. I don’t want to, anyhow.”

“I knew it!” Jay shouted, slapping his thighs.

“Knew what?” I asked curiously.

“That you couldn’t juggle!” he grinned. I shook my head at him but couldn’t help but laugh at the lame attempt to lighten the mood. Got to love him for trying though.

“Shut up, idiot,” Beau said, pushing him back against the sofa and returning his attention to me. “You were saying.”

“Right. I was saying that this needs sorting out. I just don’t know how to sort it out.” My mouth twisted awkwardly as I looked at all three brothers. How the hell had I managed to become attracted to more than one guy at a time? Let alone brothers! In my defense, they were all gorgeous…

“Well who do you feel most attracted to?” Luke asked quietly.

I shook my head. “I don’t really know. I love you all. I just don’t know who I’m in love with.”

Jay clucked his tongue and then rose from his seat and began pacing the room. “I have an idea,” he said after a few moments of pacing. “But we all have to agree to it.”

We all waited patiently for him to come out with it.

“What about Gracie dates all three of us?” he suggested.

“Dude, what?” Beau asked, looking stupefied.

“What about us three take it in turns to date Gracie? We can each have a day and a night of being her boyfriend. If that’s okay with Gracie, of course.”

The number of times my knee-weakening nickname had been used sidetracked me slightly, so it took me a while to reply. “Erm, I’m not sure that’s very fair on you guys.”

“Pft. Fair schmair. I’m up for it!” Jay announced.

“Me too,” Beau said.

“If it means getting to be your boyfriend for even only two days, I’m in, too,” Luke said, his hands linked together and hanging between his legs.

“So it’s settled. One day and a night each and then we’ll rotate. Who’s to go first?” Jay asked, rubbing his hands together. He made it seem like a game, and- in all fairness- it was probably going to be like one anyway. A very fun, yet unfair, one.

“Why don’t you go first, baby bro?” Beau suggested, clapping Jay on the back.

Jay’s face lit up and he smiled at me smugly. “How you doin’?” he asked me in a voice like Joey’s from friends. I had to give it to him; he was insanely good at impersonations and always up for everything.

“Are we really doing this?” I questioned, making sure before anything was put into action.

They all nodded and smiled at me reassuringly.

“Okay then!” I chirped, switching back to my normal, less-serious self.

“So we’ll start tomorrow so I get a full day with you. Now who wants some ice cream? It’s Ben and Jerry’s!”
