He was dressed all casually in jeans and a tee shirt, so I knew he didn’t plan to go anywhere for the day.
“Are you doing anything today?” I asked him over the kitchen fan.
“Nope. You?” He asked me back.
“Uh. No, as usual.”
I heard him laugh and ignored him, but laughed too. At least it was the weekend, so I wouldn’t think just because I didn’t have a job, I had nothing to do. I cleaned up in the kitchen and took my own little portion of food and met him on the couch.
“What are you watching?” I asked him as I took in a very good-looking carpenter on the television.
“Some home improvement show.” He shrugged.
We had finished eating and sat just watching the television. But the tension was in the air about that night at the club. I really hadn’t seen him since. He wasn’t home when I got back and I never really bothered him if I didn’t see him, especially if I knew he was working. So that was the first time we could really talk about it and I knew it was coming.
“So, you want to tell me what that was last weekend?” Denton smirked and faced me on the couch. I sighed and rolled my eyes as I turned to him.
He grinned and waited patiently.
“What what was?” I feigned cluelessness.
“Tell me! who were those guys? Who I may add, came right out of anyone’s wet dreams.” He held his hand up.
“Okay… and yeah you’re right. I interviewed for a job with them, and I can’t really tell you much else. They’re very… private.” I figured that was enough of an explanation.
But Denton gave me his hard look that told me he wasn’t buying it. “They dragged you out of there. I almost called the cops… but it was more fun to watch.” He laughed.
“What? What if they were kidnapping me!?!” I smacked him and he just shrugged away.
“You said it was fine! And you told me you would explain later—so explain!” He shouted.
I rolled my eyes and sighed. It wasn’t that I was shy around Denton, we talked about everything and sex was one of them. But this was different. It was unconventional, and I knew not everyone would understand it. I could barely understand it, and I was the one living it. I mean—two men? It wasn’t exactly ideal for most people.
“Okay. Well, they interviewed me. And then later on they gave me a different sort of um—agreement. That’s what I can’t really talk about, but we just… have this sort of thing going on.” I stuttered. Denton frowned at me and searched my eyes, but I tried not to give away too much.
Denton could be overbearing and opinionated and I didn’t know which way he would swing on this one.
“That doesn’t make any sense babes. What’s going on, Henley?” He touched my arm gently, forcing me to look at him.
I sighed deeply and gave him as little detail as possible. “I’ve had sex with them. Both of them—um, at the same time?” I squeaked.
Denton didn’t say anything and his voice didn’t even change before he suddenly switched gears and started laughing. I didn’t know what could be so funny, and I didn’t know why he thought anything was funny. I thought it was rather serious.
“I’m sorry babes, it’s just you’re—you! And I always thought you were a prude, or the missionary in the dark type. But two guys? And those two guys? Jesus… how are you walking and sitting normally?” He looked me over in mock.
I swatted him away. “Stop, I’m not a prude. And we haven’t done that yet.”
He snickered, “You are a prude—it’s not that it’s anal.” He started laughing and I just laughed with him, even though he was making fun of me.
But I didn’t mind because he is my best friend after all. Our moment was interrupted by a knock at the door, and I couldn’t imagine who would be coming here.
“The man of the house has got it.” Denton joked, standing and he kissed my forehead before going to answer the door.
It opened and I heard everything before I stood to investigate.
“What the fuck are you doing here?” I gasped at the voice.
Jude.
