“It’s a slow night boss, why don’t you let me make you guys some drinks?” Lacy asks while wiping down the bar because she doesn’t have anything to do.
“Because usually when it’s a slow night you start flirting with Bobby,” I answer. “And I don’t want to stand in between you two.”
She smirks at me, letting me know that’s exactly what she does on a slow night. She might think I don’t notice, but I’ve been raised to notice shit like this. Maybe I should really reconsider and become a shrink or something. But with O going back to school, that doesn’t seem like the best option right now. Maybe after.
Finishing up the last drinks, I take them with me when I get out from behind the bar and join the guys. O’s resting his head on his folded arms when I reach him.
“Is college making you sleepy?” I ask, handing him his drink.
“No, these two are annoying. They keep getting their dicks out trying to outdo the other in who’s making Mor come the most, and I just can’t deal with this all the fucking time.”
“Oh, someone’s grumpy,” Dean remarks, also grabbing his drink from my hand.
“It’s just that you don’t ever stop. When we’re in the house, when we’re out. Give me a break, man,” O says with a pained face.
“Or maybe stop boasting about it to each other and have a serious match to settle the score,” I say.
“Like a game?” Jonah asks with a cocked brow.
“Yeah, I’m sure you could get Mor to go along with it,” I answer shrugging. “I mean, it’s a win for almost everyone. Mor gets orgasms, one of you wins, and O can get some peace and quiet for his poor old soul because you two can stop arguing about it.”
They look at each other like I’ve just invented light, and I know for certain that they’re going to do this.
“Don’t you want to settle the score and get in on the game?” Jonah asks.
I scoff. “I don’t need a game to know I can make her come the most.”
“Oh god, not you too,” O whines.
We all laugh, letting the subject be and have a drink. I grab my phone, sending a text to my next door neighbor asking her to feed Missy. She’s elderly and she loves that cat. She already has seven herself in her tiny apartment which I’m glad of, because I’m sure she would steal Missy if she had room for any more.
While waiting for an answer, I see a text from Mor in our group thread with a picture of Mor and Meggy making funny faces above a sleeping Shelby. I’m betting Meggy made her send it. Those girls are good for her. Meggy to let her live a little, Shelby to ground her some. But in the end, Mor will be Mor and there’s nothing anyone can do about that. It’s something I love about her.
My neighbor sends me a short text back that she’ll do it, and I pocket my phone again. When my hands are empty, Jonah suddenly jumps on my back in a piggyback ride.
“Whatcha doing?” he asks.
“Asking Miss Halstein to feed Missy. Doesn’t look like we’ll be home on time.”
“Noooooope,” Dean answers loudly, emptying his drink.
“Don’t you get tired of having to make arrangements for Missy? You’re hardly ever home anymore,” Jonah asks, still sitting on my back.
“A little,” I say, because it’s true that I’ve hardly been home. I guess that’s not totally fair to Missy, she deserves a human to have at her beck and call. “Jesus Fuck, you’re heavy, get off man.”
Jonah laughs in my ear and jumps off of my back again. “You should work out less, all those muscles are heavy.”
“Damn right,” he says, showing his guns off.
Dean punches him in the gut while he does so, making him bend forward and exhaling with a loud oomph.
“Got those by jerking off?” Dean smugly asks while he grabs Jonah in a choke hold from behind.
“You’re the one who jerks other guys, not me,” Jonah teases.
It’s kind of awesome how accepting Jonah and O have been of the attraction between Dean and me. I know plenty of guys who’d be freaked the fuck out. The way Dean has just given into it blows my mind. He had an exact two minutes of confusion before giving into his bicuriousness.
Me? It had simply never been an issue. Ever since I started getting interested in everything having to do with attraction, I’d been attracted to both guys and girls. So this whole arrangement where everyone is on board with us fooling around was more than I could have hoped for.
