My Brother's Brothers

*Knock Knock Kncok*

"Who is it?" I yell

"It's Jack" I hear back

"Just a second!"

I get up off of my bed and put on my tee shirt and underwear.

"Hide" I whisper to Daniel.

"How the fuck am I-"

"There's enough space underneath my bed".

Daniel gets underneath the bed and I stuff all of his clothes underneath with him.

"Hey" I say out of breath as I open the door. I look down and notice Daniel's underwear and quickly kick it behind the door before Jack see's it.

"I got a text form Jonah wondering if you were still here. He got an email that your house is ready. I didn't know if you had left either so if you want help moving stuff in then I'm totally free."

"Uh, yeah! Thanks! I got a call that the moving vans were gonna be here in...what time is it?"

"1:30ish"

"Two hours ago!" I remember that I rented the vans to come to my house for around 11. I felt like an idiot for completely forgetting and making them wait.

"Well, you are in your underwear so I'm assuming that you were asleep?"

"Yes" I said quickly.

Jack put his hands in his pockets and his head down a little to hide the fact that he was blushing a little.

"Do you wanna like, maybe get dressed and like, maybe like, walk down there with me or something?"

"Of course" I said. Jack's face went into his big smile and he went downstairs to wait for me.

"That was so fucking close" said Daniel as he came out from under the bed.

"Daniel, I cant do this. This is wrong and I know you saw how happy I make Jack. We cant just soil it."

"Eve, I don't know if you were here for the past hour but, it's kinda too late for things to be 'soiled'".

"I don't care. This never happened okay? I realize that things cant just be casual between us and then be serious between me and Jack."

"Oh c'mon Evelyn! I know you feel something for me. You cant just do something like that with someone and then turn your back on them!"

"Something like what?" I said

"SOMETHING LIKE SEX" he yelled back.

"Daniel" I said.

He looked at me.

"I'm sorry but I just can't do this to someone."

"Stop lying to yourself Eve" he said.

He was right. I was lying to myself. It felt so good to be with Daniel. It felt so right. But it also felt that way with Jack.

"Dani...this is so hard...you don't know how bad I feel..." 

"Why do you feel so bad? You would've wound up sleeping with Jack too at some point"

"I was a virgin two hours ago Daniel"

Daniel looked like he had stopped breathing.

"Jack's waiting for me downstairs" I say as I put on some shorts. "We'll continue this discussion when I get back."

I leave the room and close the door behind me. I walk downstairs and meet Jack in a hug.

"It's so cool that you live so close now" he said. I nodded and kissed his cheek.
