My Best Friend's Girlfriend

Be There in Twenty

Matt's POV

So I guess I should give you a little more background. That way you can really understand the predicament I was in. I was...er...in love with my best friend's girlfriend.

Which was a bad bad thing. You see Brian had just come off of downward spiral from his relationship with Michelle.  They'd been together since we were teenagers and she'd always been a lot to handle. Brian wasn't exactly the model boyfriend and Michelle had read enough teenage love stories to create an idea of what the perfect boyfriend should be.  A model Brian could never quite live up to. So they made up and broke up more times than I have fingers and toes to count. But this last time...geez...to say Michelle broke his heart was an understatement. She'd blindsided Brian with the fact that she'd been cheating on him for years with an investment banker that lived in LA and she was sure she was pregnant. Brian begged and pleaded in a way none of us had ever seen but she was adamant that she wanted the baby and wanted the banker. 

So the fact that he finally snapped out of it with Andi was a good thing..well for Brian. And for us too...he'd been in a creative slump ever since the Michelle fiasco but now we could finally get some work done on our self titled album.

As for me, I'm not gonna lie...Brian and Michelle's relationship falling apart didn't do well for me and Val who were dating at the time. As Michelle's sister, Val defended her sister's honor and I defended the wreck that Brian had become. To say we were doomed was a bit of an understatement. So we broke up too. But even though Val had moved in with one of the banker dude's friends, we occasionally still hooked up. It doesn't matter how much money and stability that dude has...having a bigger dick trumps that every time. I always win that contest. No I'm not being cocky...for the lack of a better word....I'm just being honest. So she'd play the perfect girlfriend during the day and ride me like Seabiscuit almost every weekend. Not that I minded. It satisfied my sexual frustration without having to be in a real relationship.

So that lead us to the Saturday after I met Andi. Val called and hoping like hell she could erase the thought of the other woman's perfect face, I excitedly invited her over. Val is a beautiful woman...no doubt but she let her long blond hair free and released those perfect breasts, I couldn't help but think of Andi and that deep chocolate colored hair. I closed my eyes and imagined her setting that wild mane free and it spilling over my face as she slid her body against mine, kissing me with those perfect lips. I shouldn't have pictured Andi at that moment because I came way faster than I wanted to. Damn. Now I had to put in the extra work for her to get off...something I rarely ever had to do.

Afterward, I laid on the bed and watched her as she dressed quicker than usual. Pulling her jeans on she gave me a curious stare "So what was that all about?" she asked after a few minutes of silence.

"What are you talking about?" I asked playing stupid.

"C'mon Matt...you haven't been that quick on the trigger since we had sex the first time," she said buttoning her sweater.

"You were just too good," I replied hitting her with the dimples that would have normally charmed the pants off of any other girl but Val knew me too well.

She frowned and stuck out her tongue at me. "You're a dumbass."

I nodded my head as I placed behind my head "I'm the dumbass you screw every weekend though."

"A nasty habit that I have every intention of breaking," she said quickly.

"That's what you say every week," I replied.

"Yeah but apparently you've got someone else on your mind," she said dropping herself into the chair to pull her shoes on "So it's going to be time for me to move on. "

I shook my head "What are you talking about?"

She gave me an incredulous look "I don't know who you were imagining there but I know it wasn't me."

I frowned. She knew me too well. I shrugged my shoulders.

"It's okay...you don't have to tell me," she said with a slight smile as she walked over to kiss my cheek before grabbing her purse and heading for the door.

I opened my mouth to speak...to stop her....Val after all was my friend and I didn't want her to leave mad but my cell phone rang. I picked it up to see Brian's ugly face and name flash across the screen. "Hello?"

"Hey Shads," Brian's happy voice called. "What are you doing?"

I looked at Val carefully as she walked away and replied "Not much...hanging out."

"By yourself?" he asked suggestively and I could imagine the eyebrows waggling. "You mean Val didn't swing by for her weekly workout."

I laughed. "Yeah..by myself."

"Well...Andi is over here cooking and she made enough for a fucking army. Want to come and get some food? Johnny and Lacey are out on a date but Zack and Gena should be on their way over here and I think they are bringing Tara."

Tara...I'd heard from Zacky that she thought I was hot so I smelled a set up a mile away.I shouldn't. I shouldn't go..it was trouble. It was going to be torture. Torture to have to pretend I wasn't attracted to Andi. Torture to have to feign interest in Tara so I wouldn't hurt her feelings. Did I want to spend the evening that way? Fuck no...Just say no, Matt.

"Yeah I'll be there in twenty."
