I Thought Three Was A Crowd

Chapter 8: Now You See Me

I didn't really know how to answer that. We both had feeling for Ashley. We couldn't deny that. But we both loved each other. We were inseparable. We weren't about to break up over a girl. But it was still contemplating with me because I liked Ashely. But I also liked Jordan. What did that mean? Was I Bi? Did I really like the same sex? Did I truly have feelings for another girl. It was pretty surreal. Me and Jordan just sat on the side of the bed. Thinking. Thinking about what we were going to do in this situation. We didn't even know if Ashley liked girls? If she liked boys? If she had feelings for one of us or for both of us? I told Jordan about all the tiny things I caught on to about Ashley. How she would look at me a certain way and when she watched me leave Le Pizza. It kind of showed signed that she was attracted to me, I guess. Thinking about this was so weird though. I'm having a conversation about a girl I like with my boyfriend. Like, who does that? My boyfriend likes the same girl I like. We were both just fucked up in the head at this point. We both eventually drift off to sleep and woke up later than usual. It was 8:34 in the morning and we were late for school. I woke Jordan up and we both rushed to get ready. As soon as we were done, we hopped in the car and drove to school. No breakfast for us. We were driving at about 60 miles per hour. Way past the speed limit. Fortunately, no cops were around to pull us over. When we got to school, we both rushed to our classes. We made it at about 30 minutes into first hour so it wasn't that bad. Throughout the day I had just this aggravating nerve. I knew it was because of everything between Jordan and I and how we felt about Ashley. I was in a slump all day. I didn't talk to anyone except for Brianna. She was back from her trip to Florida for a College Lock-in. I told her about what was going on and she just looked at me as if I was making it all up. She gave me this big hug and just hoped for the best for me. When school was over, I decided to go over to Le Pizza. It was a tough decision that took a long time to come up with but I made it. I told Jordan that I was going to talk to Ashley and he looked at me with a sigh look knowing what I was going over there to talk about. He insisted on going with me but I denied him. I wanted to know if she liked me or not. If I could figure that out then I came make all my future decisions off of her feelings. Jordan drove me to Le Pizza and wished me luck. He said that he would be in the area for when I'm ready to go. I walked into the restaurant and saw Ashley. As soon as she saw me, she smiled. I smiled back at her and gesture for her to come and eat with me. I was seated by the receptionist and Ashley came to sit and eat with me.
"I really wanted to talk to you, so I won't be long. I'm sure you have to get back to work."
She shook her head in agreement.
"Yea. My manager says I have to be back in 10 minutes."
I realized I had only 10 minutes to tell Ashley that me and Jordan liked her.
"I have something to tell you, as well." She said smiling.
"Oh. Well then you go first. I can wait." I said.
I don't know why I told her to go first. She might say something so unimportant and waste time on me trying to get my words out.
"So, you know that we have become very good friends and all. We hang out a lot and have gotten to know each other. And it's really great."
I couldn't tell where she was going with this. I didn't know if she wanted to stop being friends or become best friends I was clueless.
"But...I don't want to be friends anymore."
A frown immediately hit my face. She didn't want to be anywhere near me. Lots of emotions came over me. The feelings of not being wanted. The feeling of being rejected and neglected. I was saddened. I had sudden flashbacks of my past. I was all over the place. She looked at me and smiled. What was funny? Did I miss something she said?
"I don't want to be friends with you because I want to be with you." She said with a little scared look on her face. She didn't know how I was going to react.
I just had this moment of question. This is what I wanted to know so why am I not happy. I thought about it and said, okay she likes me. What now?
"I'm sorry." She started to apologize.
"I don't know what I was thinking. You have boyfriend. You don't even like girls. I was stupid to think that. It's okay if it's weird for you to see me again."
She started to get up and leave but I intervened and grabbed her arm. She turned around and looked at me and we just stared into each other's eyes. After about two seconds we stopped staring. And we started kissing. It was weird. Me kissing another girl. My mind was even saying, woah, hold up. We stopped kissing and she looked at me with a confused look.
"Wait, you like me? You like girls?" She asked in a high pitched voice.
"I do like you and yes I like girls." I said with a smile on my face.
"Since when?!"
"Since now!"
"So, I'm the first girl you've liked?"
"Yes."
She smiled and hugged me.
"My boyfriend likes you, too."
"I know." She said smoothly.
"You do?!" I asked confused.
"He was very easy to read yesterday. He gave off the whole, I like you vibe. Tell-Tell signs, you know?"
I smiled and laughed.
"I like him to though. He is really cute and seems like a nice guy."
"He is." Jordan said suddenly.
We both jumped and saw Jordan. He just came out of nowhere. He came and hugged me and Ashley. He gave me and her a kiss on our foreheads. We talked for a minute until it was time for Ashley to go back to work. After she got off, we all came to Jordan and I house to talk about our relationship. After a short but what felt like forever time, we came up with the conclusion. That we, were all, going to be, in one relationship with each other. And then, it all started. Kelly, Jordan, and Ashley. The thruple. The loving and most wanted relationship anybody had seen. Everything went uphill form there. We actually functioned very good since then. It was kind of weird getting used to sharing Jordan. And the whole, three people relationship thing. It took some time getting used to. But eventually we made it work. Years passed. We all graduated high school and college. We are all pursuing our dream jobs. I am a well known business owner around the world. Jordan is a professional football player and trainer. Part time coach as well. Ashley is a beloved teacher and professor. We are all making it. Plus, the sex we have is literally amazing. We moved out of our place and bought a house on a hill that could accommodate for all of us. I got my drivers license so Jordan could stop driving me everywhere. We all bought our own cars. We were living out best lives. I love it and it's so beautiful. I don't think anything is better than this. Nothing can make this life any worse.
