“I had a few, but I’m not drunk.“
Drunk enough to say some bullshit you don’t
I bowed my head. “I always thought your tongue was bioser when youre drunk and you say what you truly mean, 1-1 really know you felt that way about me. I’m sorry. I thought we’d tackled that lurdle early on. If you need me to back off-
truly don’t feel that way about you, Cassie! With his Seth swore viciously. “That’s not what I meant. I’m sorry. I’m angry and shoulders sagging he turned towards me and tucked his fingers into the bolt hole Hoops of my jeans. I like having you between us, he finished with his lips against mine.
1 let
him kiss me, but I didn’t return the kiss..
“Cass,” he started, trying to coax a response from me. “I’m upset. I’m upset because my life will suck without Ethan.
Mine
too,” I whispered, ignoring the fact that he didn’t include me that statement.
“What happens when Ethan’s out of the picture for you? You wanted him, not me. That’s how we started. If he goes, what’s to keep you from leaving too?” He finished with a tremble in his voice and his hands clutching either side of my face.
ve and Cassie loses interest in you and what we three have?”
“Is that what you think is going to happen? I leave
Seth kept his watery eyes on me. “It’s part of it. Neither of you can deny it’s true, I was a packaged deal with Ethan. If you wanted him, you had to have me. You settled ”
“I did not settle!” I growled. “You’re crazy!”
“Don’t call me crazy, it’s such a dismissive term,” he whispered against my lips with a half–hearted smile.
“I love you. I love you both and if I can have you both, then I will be stingy. I’m going to wait for Ethan, but at least I’ll have you here with me, Seth. Ethan won t have either of us, but we’re all going to wait and be patient because that’s what people do when they’re in love.”
Seth’s hands dropped from my face to wrap around my waist. He bowed his head into my shoulder. “And how many times have you been in love, miss expert,”
Twice, and I’m still in love with them.”
1 felt his head nod against me and the warmth of this breath spread through my shirt as he exhaled. “So, we’re gonna do this?” he
asked
Ethan took a step forward so that Seth and my side were facing his front and he wrapped his arms around both of us. “It was never a question for me. I was always in for the long haul. For both of you, Ethan said, kissing the side of Seth’s next and then doing the
same to mine.
“Me too,” I said without hesitation.
Seth laughed.
“So I’m the odd one out?”
“You’re always been an odd one, but you fit with us. So we’ll take the good and even the bad if you will,” Ethan said.
Okay, Seth paused and lifted his head from my shoulder. “Even the bad?”

“Especially the had,” I said Back, with a large smille. Llenned forward eqturing his lips, the sting from his earlier words washing away at the fear of losing slipping from his eyes.
We laughed for a while, but we talked off night and into the early mining about the opportunity Ethan was being given, about my Insemination, about how Seth was going to try his best to be there for me, but most importantly we talked about life. Cur life and how we were going to spend it together,
Ethan clutched my hand, Seth held the other and just as I was aboud to slip into sleep Ethan whispered, “You guys should live together while I’m gone. In my apartment, so when you to both together you’ll have a bit of me too, at least until I come hack,”
Seth grunted in agreement. The warm feeling of belonging and the tab of living together with Seth bulled me to sleep. Everything was right and I’ve never been happier.
