Black Silk II

I spent the night with Veronica and the girls watching a horror movie.

It was annoying, Emma and I couldn't understand it. We saw Jean, Annie and Veronica jump, scream, and cry. Why pick up a movie you can't put up with? It is said cowards draw each other down so they couldn't accept any more of the blood and decided to switch the movie to something else. It was Sunday, the following day we'd be having that excursion to the science lab of British Columbia University, they couldn't stay for the night.

"Hmn, I want to sleep!–" Annie complained, I pulled her cheeks to wake her up, she's cute. She had already fallen asleep on my shoulder with Jean on the other side.

"I'm taking you home, little sloth".

I first carried Veronica into her room, she mumbled, kissed my cheek good sleep and waved me goodbye. She was out for the night.

"Do you want me to drive them home instead?"

Emma leaned on the door frame, trying to act cool with her eyes half-open, it was already eleven o'clock, but we had a lot of fun and also, she must still be tired from our 'exercise'.

"*cough!* It is my responsibility as their boyfriend".

"Oh my, you're already stacking a claim, huh? Aren't you a shameless boyfriend?~" Emma giggled and lifted her skirt, wearing no panties... something me and the girls all knew but no one said a thing.

"Leave those two and come back to me; we can continue where we left off" She tempted me with that hazy lusty breath up my ears.

"Aren't you tired?" I sighed, now that we crossed that line, there was no stopping this ravenous momentum, I wanted it too. Even as we watched movies all I could do was look at her as she sent sideline peeking glances back.

Both of us hoped to be alone in a room again.

"You don't need to sleep at all and I don't need to wake up tomorrow early for anything. Isn't that very convenient?~"

There was a lot of logic behind her words, I decided the best course of action was for me to drive like a madman and jump all the traffic lights. I drove both Jean and Annie, the streets were clear, and the finish line was in sight.

"You did it with Emma", I heard Jean say, when I turned around it wasn't only she, Annie was awake too.

"Aren't you tired? Just sleep for now" I deviated, feeling a bit awkward, still not used to this whole sharing deal. I know they're happy with each other, we have come a long way and it makes me happy...

But if I had told Lana one night that I had slept with another girl. I don't know what would have happened to me, she wouldn't cut my dick... she'd be losing as well, but I know Lana would have probably stabbed that girl.

"And you will do it again," Jean remarked, her voice neutral.

"..."

"It doesn't bother me".

"Really?" I asked, a bit suspicious, it sounded like a test where I lowered my guard and then you stab me in the back. I choose to believe Jean for now since she's a very sincere girl. If she's not okay with something, she will say it, but what about you...?

"What about you, Annie?" I asked the girl who pretended to be asleep with one eye half-open and a blushing countenance. Throughout the night she's been quite chummy with me, I also touched her here and there, and Jean witnessed all that.

"E-Eh? me what?" She played fool.

"Don't try to act like a fool, you two have talked it out–".

"Hmph, even if we did, why do we have to tell you? women can have their secrets" Jean hissed like a snake, a cheeky little thing. I put my hand on her tight and she yelped, all that for nothing, Emma has been influencing her.

"So you talked or not?".

"... we did" They both looked down like I was giving them a scolding, I wasn't.

"I don't mind you both having your little secrets, but I will tell you this... sticking with me is the same as a path of no return" I warned one last time.

"You're both important to me, I like you both and I am in no position to impose anything so I will let you decide what our relationship is going to be. That said, once you decide there is no going back".

Annie, this crazy-ass chick, turned my head and kissed me while I was down more than seventy kilometres an hour on the road.

!!!

"Girl, are you crazy? you're not crash-proof!"

"That's my decision".

"..."

Annie held my hand on the gear stick, it was warm... it has always been, she's always been there trying to get closer to me with kind gestures, Jean too. I don't know if the reason is just that I saved their lives that day, but they were in the process of saving mine little by little.

Because they make me feel full, even though I am empty.

"Even if Jean didn't accept... I still want to be with you, Ray" Annie smiled at me through the visor, leaned forward and kissed my cheek moderately.

"Thanks, Annie".

I looked at Jean to see what she thought about it, she didn't express an opinion.

"I guess that makes you my girlfriend".

Annie celebrated that like she got some reward, how long had she been expecting me to formalize it? the asshole all this time had been me, playing with her feelings. Not anymore.

'Can you drop Annie first? I want to talk with you in private' Jean sent me by telepathy and I accepted it, it must be something important.

...

As I promised, I dropped Annie first.

"Good evening, sir" I saluted my new father-in-law. Annie's father.

"Would you like to come in for some coffee, Ray? We can discuss the marriage arrangements" He invited me in, I didn't catch his words at first since they were so swift.

"Excuse me?"

Annie's dad, compared to Jean's dad, looked like he was eager for me to marry right away. What's more shocking is that Annie didn't stop him. Her eyes shone, wondering if I was going to accept.

Girl, we're teenagers.

"If you bring my daughter back home this late. It means you're ready to take responsibility, right?"

"…"

I don't know if he's shrewd or dumb, I'll bet on the former.

"If there is anything to take responsibility regarding Annie, I'll do it, sir. I like her".

"Hehe, good boy! But I'm afraid it is not my approval you're after, but her mom's"

"I understand, I'll be looking forward to meeting my mother-in-law".

What I understood is that her mom was the one with the pants in the house. I kissed Annie goodbye and drove back with Jean also waved at Annie and her dad.

Mr Shrewd watched me leave with Jean, trying to put two and two together.

…

"What is it that you want to tell me?"

I didn't drive straight to Jean's place, I stopped somewhere to listen to what she had to say.

Jean sat there, as if countless thoughts ruminated her mind.

"You know I love you… I love you so much, Ray. You know that, right?"

"… you're willing to accept Emma, Annie… you're willing to put my happiness above yours. Yes, I believe I have a fair understanding of how much you love me".

"And do you feel loved by me? Is there anything that I can do to make you happier?"

I didn't get where she was trying to get.

"I think you're doing more than enough, Jean. Is there something wrong? Something worrying you?"

"Do you sometimes feel like you want to destroy everything? J-Just asking…"

I frowned, with a swift move I pulled Jean. She struggled until I had her straddling me.

"Tell me what's wrong, you wouldn't usually ask those questions".

"Emma told me you act very violently sometimes, behind us… I just want to know what you're thinking, why do you do this?"

There is something she knows that she doesn't want to tell me. But who am I to judge?

"Kiss me and find out" I said, Jean gasped.

"Ray, don't deviate it!"

"Kiss me, Jean… otherwise I will kiss you and I won't be kind".

"…"

A moment of hesitation, enough time for me to act and plunder her lips and thoughts.

We both may have a reality we don't want to share, to protect the other. It doesn't matter so long as I can hold her like this. I hope with this I can convey to her that I'm okay, even if that thought of sometimes wanting to erase everything still lingers.

"I love you too, Jean".

…

I arrived back home quite late. My face was covered in lipstick. Veronica was already sleeping in her room.

I entered mine and there she was, sprawled on my bed, all naked and desire-inducing.

Emma was there, presented for me; but she was snoring like a bear.

So I lay down with her, put the quilt on us and embraced her to sleep, perhaps, I could manage to enter slumber again.
