JAKE'S POV

Once I heard the soft breathing of Alicia's sleeping body I carefully slid myself away from her. I covered her with the comforter and slipped off of the bed. I grabbed a shirt from the closet, pulled it on and headed toward Luke downstairs. Luke was also still sound asleep. He could sleep through a train wreck. I knew that he wouldn't even wake up even if I had managed to have Alicia screaming my name with her legs wrapped around me. I chuckled at that thought before smacking Luke on the shoulder and plopping down on the sofa beside him.

"Ouch! What the fuck?" He said groggily. Luke sat up on the sofa.

"What do you want?" He groaned.

"We need to talk," I said.

"Right now? What time is it? Couldn't it wait till morning?" Luke yawned.

"No, we need to talk now. This can't wait."

"Okay, is this about our friendship? Cuz I don't want to fight with you and I don't want to lose you either. You're like a brother to me." Luke explained.

"No, well... not exactly. It's about us and Alicia. I... I love her too you know. I'm not ready to give her up nor lose you as a friend in the process of fighting over her. Your both important to me Luke." I sighed.

"I know man. She's fucking amazing. I don't blame you for feeling anything toward her. It can't be helped." He chuckled while scratching his neck nervously.

"But, if she's pregnant..." Luke started to say but I cut his words off before he could finish his sentence.

"So what if she's pregnant? I'd still love her and that baby as if it was my own and I'd still want to be with her regardless."

I could see Luke's shoulders tense up.

"Don't get me wrong man. I have no intention to take her from you. But at the same time, I don't want you to take her from me either. Man, this is so fucked up. If you weren't my best friend I wouldn't give a rat's ass about stealing her away but... but your too important to me, you're my family." I groaned.

Luke's shoulders relaxed and sagged.

"I know what you mean. I got into a couple of fights with her because of this same problem. I didn't want to take her from you and I didn't want to lose you as my brother at the same time. I even told her to keep dating you. I told her I'd be okay with sharing her. She got really angry with me. I almost lost her because of pushing her toward you." Luke explained in a gruff voice.

"So.. I have to be honest with you about something. I almost finger fucked her right here on the couch while you slept. But she stopped me. Then upstairs I could have had sex with her if she didn't stop me. But she did. Even though I didn't want to do it behind your back I couldn't stop myself. She's torn between us. She was up there crying because she doesn't want to have to choose between us. I think she loves us both. So... what do we do?" I said.

Luke seemed tense when I told him what I did while he was asleep. I didn't blame him. But at the same time, I was a bit relieved that he wasn't punching my face in after I told him what happened. When I told him Alicia cried, Luke's shoulders went slack and he sighed. He sat silently for a while. He was thinking hard about something. I knew what he was thinking. Probably the same thing I was thinking. I was trying to figure out a way where all three of us could be happy. I was thinking we could both be with her.

"We both love her."

"Apparently."

"She loves us both back."

"Yup."

"So, it's not that hard to figure out." I threw my hands up in frustration.

Luke looked at me with a puzzled expression. His eyebrows furrowed.
