10: Embarrassing Times & Dresses

The following morning for you had been what you'd expected. An early start to your day as you changed into a pair of regular clothes you had kept for special occasions, eager to start the day. Stifling a yawn, you packed everything you needed, including two tickets for the train you'd managed to get the other day as you rushed over to Biddick's cot, nudging him awake.

"Wake up, Curt." With a whisper towards him he wakes with a grumble, surprised you were awake so early in the morning like he'd forgotten what you both planned together. Rubbing his face with his hands, he gets out of bed with bags under his eyes but nonetheless focusing on you. "Why are you excited this early in the morning?"

"Don't you remember the deal you made to help me? The weekend passes, going to London for a surprise.." You trailed off with a shrug as he massaged his temples. He remembered as everything you talked about started to connect and make sense, shaking his head at the idea of how well you thought this would turn out. Putting up with your antics, he gets changed and with a packed bag ready to go, you start to leave the base to head towards the nearest train station.

"I hate lying to them, Biddick, I could see it on their faces how they knew something was suspicious. I just need to spend the day with my closest friend who would help me with what I have planned for a weekend to finally relax and have fun, you know?"

Biddick nodded along to your words with a contempt expression on his face. "I know you hate keeping this secret from them, but you keep saying it's all for a good cause. Remember that."

You contemplated this. You planned a surprise for the both of them at this hotel you picked, your mind immediately going to the gutter. "Not to mention that Cleven's been acting really handsy as of lately? Which is surprising coming from him instead of Egan."

A smirk couldn't help but make its way up to Biddick's face. "Well, I can't say I'm surprised. Though it does make me wonder why he's suddenly acting like that, because from what I've known about him, he's never been the one to act like that ever."

You shrugged your shoulders lightly as you thought of the reasons. Only one had to have made sense to you as of what happened recently with the three of you. "Probably because we had sex, but I dunno."

Biddick paused himself as he stared you down, the smirk of his only growing as he laughed out. "That checks out now. After all three of you went at it, I wonder if it's because it was your guys' first time having a threesome with each other."

Your eyes widen at his words, the instant flush of embarrassment to your face making itself known. You couldn't help but whisper the last part, embarrassed to the core. "Are you saying everyone heard us?"

"Oh, yeah. We could hear it from the outside of Cleven's room. The walls are thin and you three are very loud."

"Fucking shit." The cursing under your breath only got you to realize how more careful you should've been around the base. How stupid you were. You pinch the bridge of your nose, thinking over everything.

"You can say that again. What's this surprise by the way? It's obvious enough you're planning to be with Cleven and Egan tomorrow, hoping they'd join. But why'd you force me along?"

You give in, telling him with butterflies thinking of how it might go down, hoping it'd turn out well anyways.

"For one, your opinions are honest, but I bought a room at one of the hotel's in London that has shops around the corner. I heard the city has the best taste in dresses so here we are. Was hoping to surprise them both at the hotel with the dress. Do I need to go into more detail?"
