They went back to eating, and I went back to examining them for any indication that anything in our friendship had changed. Miraculously, it hadn’t. This breakfast was no different than any of the dozens of other breakfasts we’d had together. The only difference is I’d woken up naked in bed with them, rather than fully-clothed on their couch.
“We need to talk about something before you go,” Tyler finally spoke up. “If that’s okay.”
All three of them had been eating voraciously, like someone was coming to take the food away if they stopped. But at Tyler’s statement, their movements slowed.
“Alright,” I said, patting my mouth with a paper napkin. “Shoot.”
My choice of words elicited a round of instant smirks. I rolled my eyes.
“Holy shit, it’s going to be all innuendo and sex jokes from now on, isn’t it?”
“Yeah,” Axel agreed, still grinning. “It sure is.”
“Get used to it,” Zane nodded.
“Anyway…” Tyler butted in, eager to get back on track. “We never got around to… talking last night.”
I chuckled as I spread butter on my toast. “Talking.”
“Yeah.”
“But I thought we did that,” I said. “I figured we, you know, straightened everything out?”
“We did,” said Tyler. “But remember, there was a reason we asked you over.”
“Two reasons,” Zane added slyly.
I thought for a moment, then nodded. “Ah. Your proposition.”
“Exactly.”

“We want you to be our girlfriend.”
I literally dropped the butter knife. It clanged loudly against the plate and then flipped onto the floor.
But not one pair of eyes followed it.
“Your girlfriend,” I repeated.
“Yes.”
I was confused. Maybe they meant in the way of sex. They had to mean in the way of sex.
“I suppose I was your girlfriend last night,” I said slowly. Now that we were talking about it instead of ignoring it, the butterflies were back again. “But right now, everything’s back to—“
“No, not like that,” Zane interjected. “This isn’t about just last night.”
I stared at them for a long moment and blinked.
“You want to do it again,” I stated flatly.
“No,” Axel protested quickly. Frowning adorably, he corrected himself. “I mean, yes, of course we do. And we will…”
Thank God, a little voice in the back of my head breathed.
“But no, not in the way you’re thinking,” he continued. “We were thinking more like…”
