Four Years

Chapter 26 Explanations

"You know if you are going to do the deed and don't want people to know, you should really lock your door" I say, "And not be so loud." Their faces are still red and Natasha is still laughing her ass off. "I'm just kidding about the loud part" I say laughing and they look a little relieved, "But seriously, you should lock the doors." After the awkwardness leaves the room, we are all sitting at the table eating breakfast and laughing about what happened.

I say, "Let me guess Ian, when you and Mark were trying to figure out the person behind breaking up me and Natasha, during that time is when it started." Mark asks, "How did you know?" "Lucky guess" I say. Mark just stares at me and I roll my eyes. "I say, "You two were spending a lot of time together, if something was to happen, that is when it would." Ian says, "Pretty much." I say, "You are not going to leave me hanging, if I have to go into details, so do you." "Well it started out as us flirting back and forth just for fun. One day I finally decided to man the hell up and kiss him. Let's just say I hit a home run" Ian says.

Everyone laughs. Natasha says, "Wait a minute, what do you mean you tell him details?" I say, "Nothing bad. He mainly asks questions and I would answer." Natasha says, "Harley." "Babe, nothing personal" I say, "He would just ask me if I grew some balls and kissed you. Or if I manned the hell up and asked you to be my girlfriend. Those details. Nothing bad, I promise. So how come you never told me?" Mark says, "Well I said we shouldn't say anything til we were official. Last night Ian asked me to be his boyfriend and I said yes. We were going to tell you today." "How the hell do you even remember that" I ask, "You were drunk off your ass." "Honestly" Mark says, "I have no idea how I remember. Actually, that is like the only thing I remember after getting drunk."

Elise, Stacy, and Natasha giggle. I chuckle and roll my eyes. Natasha says, "I'm happy for you and Stacy dating Elise, but I'm just hurt that you never told me, I'm your best friend." Elise says, "I wanted to tell you, but Stacy wanted to keep it on the down low." Natasha says, "I forgive you as long as you answer this one question." Stacy says, "It better be appropriate." "It is, relax" Natasha says, "When did this start? Because last I heard you were thinking about getting back with Antonio."

Elise asks, "Remember when you did karaoke with Harley and then after she ran off. Then you started trying to find her again?" Natasha nods her head. Elise says, "During that time, me and Stacy started hanging out and talking more than we normally did. And one thing led to another thing and now we are dating." Natasha asks, "Who made the first move?" Stacy says, "Elise made the first move and I asked her to be my girlfriend." Elise says, "I said yes."

"Your what now" we hear from behind us. We all turn around to see a shocked and hurt Antonio in the doorway and Annabel standing next to Antonio unsure of what to do. I look between Elise and Antonio and say, "Well, this is awkward." "Shit" Elise says.

Thanks for reading.  Sorry it took so long to post, I've been busy.  What did you think?  What do you think is going to happen next?  So we get the backstories behind how Mark and Ian and Stacy and Elise got together.  What did you think?  Looks like Antonio heard something he wasn't suppose to.  What do you think is going to happen now?  If you have any suggestions or questions let me know.  As always votes and comments are appreciated.
