In Love With Them Both.

Chapter 3

Chapter 3

Paul's POV

I've seen the way he looks at him. Even now when I'm sitting on the couch next to them he's playing with his hair causing him to make little whimpering sounds. Smiling softly at him I had instantly made up my mind. Now here I am, sitting on the couch still waiting for Alex's answer.

"Is this some kind of joke?" He was looking at me with a half-smile trying to read my face to see if I was telling the truth or just playing.

"No. Trust me this is hard for me too but I know what Adrian wants even if he doesn't want to admit it. He has a crush on you for a while now and that's why we rarely ever see you guys. It's easier to stay away from you and Elle then for him to see you two being extra happy around him all the time."

"I didn't know..."

"Well that's how he wanted it. He didn't want anyone to know because he would never want to hurt anyone. He wouldn't even tell me because he probably thought that I would absolutely hate him for liking someone else as well as liking me..."

Thinking about the situation itself I had to laugh about it all. He hid all the hurt he felt from seeing Alex with his sister this whole time and put on a brave face for me and them both. I started watching how he interacted with Alex and everything started to make sense. That's why I came up with this plan.

"...but I don't because I know that he's just filled with love that needs to be shared with others. It just so happens that the love he has for you is kind of equal to mines."

"This is all so much. Not to mention that I'm in a relationship with Elle...his sister...And I'm straight, I think." That last part he mumbled lowly and I almost missed it.

"Listen, me and Elle spoke about it briefly earlier at the house when you two were in the kitchen. She's not hurt but she feels that you have some sort of feelings for him and I know that he has feelings for you. She says that she wants you two to be happy and as much as she loves you she says that she's surprisingly okay with it."

"She's okay with it? She's okay with me leaving her for her brother? She's okay with me having feelings for him? Even though I'm not sure I do...You know what that tells me? It tells me that she doesn't really love me like I thought she did and she just wants to get rid of me."

"You can talk about this with her later but I'm telling you what she told me. She sees the looks you give him and so do I. Elle told me that she rather you find out what your feelings truly are and find out who you are before she falls in love with you. She loves you Alex but she's not yet in love with you yet so she doesn't want you to love her simply because she's the only option."

The hurt in his face was softening slowly but a little bit of it was still there. His hands were still in his hair but he was no longer tugging on it slightly instead he was running his fingers gently through his hair as he thought about it all.

"So she loves me but she's not in love with me and she rather I am happy then to be stuck with her simply because she's all I know?"
