“Oh…I wasn’t sure if I should stay. I mean, I wanted to. I did. But…” shit, now I was rambling. He just smiled kindly at me and touched my waist gently.
“I get it. Don’t worry about it.” He shrugged.
“I didn’t want to leave.” I whispered. He smiled and nodded. He used his other hand to cup my face, his thumb grazing over my trembling lips. I wanted to kiss him so badly, but it was like he remembered we weren’t alone.
“I know. Last night was…it’s never that good.” He looked over my body like he was remembering it.
“Yeah, it isn’t.” I agreed.
He squeezed my shoulder gently and then walked off. I groaned and then got back to work. I actually settled the tab at the end of the night when we closed, and shagged all the bigger dishes to the kitchen. The place was empty, but when I got back they were all sitting at the bar again, their faces serious.
Oh no. They waited the whole night, teased me, and now they want to rip it all out from under me. I approached them nervously, across from the bar I stood and crossed my arms.
“Look, I don’t know what you guys have been planning. And I don’t know how much you know but if you don’t want me to work here anymore, then I’ll just go. I don’t want this to start any arguments between you.”
“We’d never fight over a girl. Even one as…incredibly sexy as you.” Joshua said. I gulped nervously, also reeling from his compliment.
I never thought there was anything that fantastic about me. I have a good ass, good boobs, but other than that I always thought I was just ordinary. But the way they are all looking at me now…I feel better than ever.
“I’m sorry that I…got involved with you all but—I guess I’m not really all that sorry. I mean I am attracted to each of you. I just didn’t know if I should tell the truth, or even wanted to. But I know it can be difficult if I still work here and I doubt you guys are okay with what happened…”
I was rambling again but I was having such a hard time saying what I wanted to. All I knew was that I was afraid of what they were thinking, of what they wanted to do.
“What do you think is going on here, Alexa?” Kellan says. I screwed up my face in confusion as I looked at them.
“I…I assumed you guys found out I was—that I had sex with you.” I swallowed nervously.
“Not all of us.” Austin smiled. I managed to laugh a little at his joke, but I was still very tense and nervous.
“I didn’t mean to…two time you or anything like that. I wasn’t thinking beyond my…um. I have a thing for all of you, I guess.” I stuttered and stared down at my worn shoes.
They didn’t say anything for a while, but finally Kellan broke the silence.
“Alexa, we don’t want to fire you. At all. That isn’t why we want to talk to you.” He said. I relaxed a bit.
I got to keep my job, which was good. I have wanted this for so long I think I would hit rock bottom if I lost this job and a chance at being with any of them. What’s worse was I don’t think I even want to choose…what has happened to me?
“That’s…good. I’m glad. But you guys know about everything?” I checked.
“Yeah. We’re not mad or anything.” Joshua said. I relaxed even more.
But the tension in the room was still so thick, I couldn’t tell what was going on. What they wanted or what was even happening. But I knew that technically everything was okay. I still had my job, and they didn’t hate me or anything like that.
“Oh. Okay.” I gulped.
They gave each other an odd look that I couldn’t place. Maybe they didn’t even want me at all.
“So…I guess whatever happened between us won’t again, right?” I asked nervously. They all chuckled like I had told some sort of joke.
“Uh, not exactly.” Joshua stood up and sauntered over to me, “we want you. We all want you.”
My eyes widened in shock as I considered it. I never expected it could be that good, that they would all want me. But I wondered if they meant…
“At the same time?” I asked. Joshua cocked a brow and looked over at Austin and Kellan, who were now standing.
“We like the way you think.”
