Honey

Sweet dreams honey.

"Hey, I brought you a blanket and a pillow, the cushions aren't very comfortable..." I chuckle nervously.

"Also, you're welcome to anything in the kitchen, you know if you get hungry or something..." I train off as John slips his shirt off, leaving him in sweatpants and socks.

Sweatpants and socks have never looked so good.

I shake off the inappropriate thought, the reason he's here is to watch over us and keep us safe not for me to ogle at him.

"Cara it's fine, I'll be fine." His voice pulls me out of my thoughts, I catch his eyes sweep my body, pj shorts that should be illegal and a grey tank top.

I feel heat flow through my body and come over feeling a little overwhelmed. I'm not long out of a relationship albeit a shit one, but here I am with another man in my house, eyeing my body like I'm his next meal.

We both smile at each other like neither of us can feel this tension. I wring my hands together and nod to myself.

"Well I'll let you get some sleep, thank you again for this John..."

As I'm walking out the room he speaks up.

"Anytime Cara. Anytime." He speaks softly.

I don't turn around as I smile and head over to Lex's room. I stand by the door, watching her sleep peacefully surrounded by all her teddies. My hearts melt a little every time I see this.

I shut off the light and head to my room, my phone buzzes as soon as I'm in bed.

Nick: John told me everything, are you okay? Is Alexandra okay? I was gonna come and stay too but I didn't want to overwhelm you and John offered first so I didn't.. But I wanted to.

Nick and John are like chalk and cheese. So, so different.

Me: We're okay Nick. No it's okay, I wouldn't have minded either way, I think you know that though.

Nick's response was immediate,

Nick: Do I?

Me: Its pretty obvious, I mean apart from today, I'm never with just one of you. I'm always with both of you. I'm starting to think you two plan it...

It's way too early for me to be telling them both that I sort of, maybe like them. I mean, I'm still wrapping my head around the fact that I'm able to feel something for both of them simultaneously.

Nick: We can't help but be drawn to beautiful things. Couldn't let him have you all to himself.

I stare at the message until the screen goes black. 'We can't help but be drawn to beautiful things. Couldn't let him have you all to himself.'

Me: I guess not... Goodnight Nick.

Nick: Sweet dreams honey.

I huff and run a hand down my face, placing my phone on the bedside table. I roll over and drift off into dreams- fantasies of Nick and John.

"Are you a giant? Do you know jack?" I hear Alexandra ask as I make my way into the kitchen after following a delicious smell.
