Waiting For You

Chapter Fourteen

"A soulmate is someone who appreciates your level of weird".

Hunter had fallen sick, the day after we had colored Aurora's hair, and he had been out for the rest of the week. Freeing up all my afternoons and my weekend. We stilled talk through our bond, but even mentally he sounded exhausted. Seeing as my week had been so empty without him, I had managed to film three of the songs he had given me for my birthday.

I was, in fact, uploading one of it currently, the song "Dying in LA" by Panic! At the Disco. As it was being uploaded I reminded myself to thank Hunter the next time I saw him, for introducing me to them. I had heard some of their songs before but for some reason, I hadn't gotten hooked. With Hunter, everything had changed.

I started getting dressed, and once I was sure the video was up, I left my house and headed towards Vicky's. She lived fairly close to Hunter, on the outskirts of the city. Normally, our gatherings featured a lot of people from Matt's and Beth's extended cycle of friends. This Saturday night, though, it was just us.

Don and Beth were cuddled up, opposite of me, while to my left was Matt, and to my right was Vicky. The night sky was filled with stars, while the bonfire between us was warm enough to not need blankets.

"So, guess who had their first threesome last night," Beth said with a big smile. My eyebrows went up. I wasn't aware Don liked to share.

"She gave me the first time, so it was with another girl," Don added. I wasn't aware Beth liked to share. "Next time will be with another guy," he assured her and gave her a quick kiss.

"Oh, do you have anyone in mind?" Vicky asked, wiggling her eyebrows.

"Yeah, but I'm not so sure whether he'll be interested..." Beth answered, sadness in each word that fell from her lips.

"Please, with you two? He'll be an idiot if he doesn't accept," I replied, sitting back in my chair and taking a gulp from my beer. Immediately she beamed at me.

Would Hunter be interested in a threesome? With another girl, he wouldn't. But with another guy... He did say his reputation mirrored mine, only with college students. Maybe he already had had a threesome. Maybe he'd want one when our relationship started getting more physical. Hold up. Why was thinking about threesomes? We hadn't even had sex yet.

"Threesome with another guy," Matt noted, a little bit disgusted.

"Hey, as long as he keeps his lips and dick away from me, I'm game. It's all going to be about her, either way," Don replied with a shrug.

"Anyway, I started talking with my soulmate this morning," Vicky announced.

"No way, who is he?" Beth exclaimed.

"His name's Ricardo, and he's from Spain. We did have some issues with communicating at first, but we figured it out at last. We already planned on him coming over during Christmas so we can see each other up close".

"Mm, talking about up close. Alex, Libby told me she saw you last week and you blew her off. Again," Beth said and I took another gulp of my beer.

"Yeah, I already had plans".

"With another girl. She told me. You know how she feels about you!" she scolded me.

"I didn't want to lie to her," I replied with a shrug.

"Another girl... who?" Don asked, now very interested. I felt a blush creeping its way up my face and I tried –and failed- to hide it.
