Dark affairs

"The only good thing about this tour is, you and Alex will be gone for a while." I teased.

Again Jack had spent the night at my place and we were currently taking a shower together, strictly to save water and time because, you guessed it, I'm running late, again!

"Hey, Mickey, that's so unfair! Don't you like me being here?" Jack pouts while reaching around me to get to the bottle rack where he fumbles around to find shampoo and knocks over everything else in the process.

"Urgh, I would like you so much better if you wouldn't take up all the space in here, it's a small shower after all." I elbow him to make him move out of the way.

"Ieeek," he shrieks as his butt touches the wall. "fuck these tiles are cold as shit."

I giggle and pull him under the spray again and his soapy hands start roaming my body.

"Well I guess we need a bigger shower then to fit the three of us in there." He mumbles in my ear and then proceeds to kiss down my neck.

"Arrrrgh, don't you dare and start with that shit again. I don't want to think about it now and also don't try and seduce me, I'm already late as it is." I slap his chest.

I push myself away from him and he tries to hold on to me but luckily I'm slippery and wiggle myself out of his grasp. He growls and wants to grab me again but I scream laughing slapping his ass and running from the bathroom stark naked and dripping wet.

"Oh, you gonna get it now, Mickey" he threatens.

He chases me down the hall yelling and all around the living room, when I see no other chance as to run back to my bedroom and jump in my bed trying to hide under the covers.

By now I can't breathe because I'm laughing so hard and when Jack comes through the door, naked but with a stupid predator face, I'm snorting so much, I nearly piss myself.

I giggle hysterically as he creeps up to the bed and suddenly takes a start and jumps on top of me.

"Ow, fatty, get off me" I howl and we wrestle for a few moments but he gets a hold of my hands and pins them above my head then he looks into my eyes and suddenly turns serious.

"Aye shithead, you have now idea how much I love being with you." He says smiling and softly kisses my nose and then my lips.

That's about as romantic as Jack gets and I know what he means so I smile back and pull him down again for another kiss. We lazily makeout for a while just cherishing the moment and the closeness when I suddenly remember I need to get to work.

"Oh fuck, Jack! I need to get ready, I'll be so late, they gonna flip their shit."

I hastily push him off and this time he rolls to the side letting me get up and his eyes follow me as I run around naked to find some clothes I can wear in the office.

I get ready in record time while he still lies in bed his arms folded behind his head and a smirk on his lips as he is checking me out.

I bend down to give him one last kiss while I grab my phone and keys from the nightstand and dump it all into my bag.

"Okay, I'm off. Be good lazy fucker. Talk to you later." I say in a rush.

"Bye baby. You know, I'm not sure that I really want to share you. You're mine." He growls gripping my hips and pulling me close. He pushes up my blouse and places a kiss to my belly button while staring up at me.

I grip his chin and pull myself close to his face.

"Me neither, babe." I say and bump his nose with mine, then I straighten up, tuck my blouse back into my jeans and rush out.

....

While I'm at work analysing demo tapes and writing reviews for the CEO's I start to think about Alex's proposal.

This happens a lot recently. I believe it was Alex's intention to sort of plant this seed in our minds and let it grow.

I can't help to imagine what it would be like to be in this polyamory. At the moment I have suppressed my feelings for Alex successfully but they could easily be reignited. My attraction towards him was never really gone, I just didn't allow myself to feel that way after he broke up with me.

And then there is Jack. I love being with him, he is like a male version of myself, we just click on so many levels, everything comes easy with the two of us.

I'm not an overly jealous person but am I willing to share my boyfriend with someone else? Even when this someone else is my other boyfriend?

I groan in frustration. This is all so complicated! I'm not sure I want or need all this trouble in my life.

But deep down I can't deny that the idea of it also excites me, although as the good girl that I am my morals tell me to run away from this as fast as I can.

I sigh and push away the thoughts and re-start the demo from track one because I hadn't paid attention to what I was hearing.

I am typing away at my comments, working concentrated for the first time in days, actually I don't really know why they haven't fired me yet, when someone clears their throat behind me.

I swivel around in my chair to be met with two sparkling brown eyes and a cute smile.

"Hey, beautiful," he says and his voice is smooth. "you look like you are working too hard."

"I am," I reply reserved. "What can I do for you Alex?" I eye him cautiously, recently he managed to catch me off guard too many times.

"You can join me for lunch, that's what I'm here to pick you up for and I also had a chat with your boss Martin and he doesn't mind if it takes a little longer." He beams and takes a bow waving an imaginary hat.

I roll my eyes and huff as if that is the biggest favour to asks but deep down I get a giddy feeling in my stomach.

Am I nervous or excited? I don't know probably both but there is no time to contemplate as said man already pulls me up and out the door to the elevators, he throws his arm around my shoulders checking with a little sideways glance if that is okay and grinning smugly when I can't suppress a smile.

"I have discovered this cute little Italian diner, it's so authentic, you'll gonna love it, Mickey." He babbles excitedly and pulls my head closer to kiss the top of my hair.

The elevator dings and as soon as the doors open I am dragged inside. He pushes the ground floor button five times as if that would make us go faster and I have to shake my head.

Maybe he feels as giddy as I do, so I throw all my reservations overboard and let my arm slip around his waist and rest on top of the waistband of his jeans.
He looks at me and his smile becomes even wider and he starts to hum happily on our way down.

We decide to walk as the restaurant is apparently not that far away and I could use the exercise.

He takes my hand and entwines our fingers and let's our arms swing a little while trying to not tread on the cracks in the pavement. His playfulness is such a change to his mood these last weeks that I can't help but note.

"You are one happy little bunny today, aren't you Gaskarth."

He looks up smiling but then pouts. "Of course I am, I'm with one of my favourite people but stop calling me by my last name, it makes you sound so nasty, Mickey-Mouse."

I feign hurt holding a hand to my heart shocked. "Me? Nasty? How could I ever be nasty to you? Ally-Pally!" I tease.

"Whaaaat? No, that sounds even worse, like a two-hundred pound old auntie of yours."

He pinches my sides and I shriek in shock. We both have to laugh at that and he suddenly stops in the middle of the sidewalk and turns to me pulling me close gently.

His hands rub up and down my arms and he lays his head on my shoulder. He is cautious and his touch is feathery as he mumbles. "I have missed this so much, darling."

I hesitate but then my arms snake around his middle and I pull him into an embrace, my face is pressed into his chest and I inhale his scent, it relaxes me immediately.

I don't feel anxious any longer cause I familiarise myself with Alex again and the memories of how we were resurface. We had an awesome time and we were a power duo back then.

Could we pick up where we left off?
