Eric
Mousse for Two
Last night with Aria was magical. Her touch ignites my senses and makes me sexually want to explode. There is so much about her that mystifies me. Her smell, the way she walks, how she talks, how she knows how to touch me.
As I sit and enjoy my morning coffee and get my head in the game for the workday, there is an abrupt banging at my apartment door.
By the sound of the knock, I know it is not Aria. It sounds more like it could either be the police or Jenna. My money is on Jenna. There is no reason for the police to be at my door that I am aware of.
"Eric, open the door! I need to talk to you right now!" Jenna's voice shouts.
Reluctantly walking to my door I open it. "Are you trying to wake the dead? It is seven thirty in the morning!"
Jenna holds up a suit tie. "Any ideas on this?" She glares at me.
"Whose tie is that?"
"I just paid your little girlfriend Aria a visit and to my surprise it was lying on her table," Jenna squawks.
"How do you know that is my tie?"
"Because I bought it for you last Christmas you idiot!" Jenna throws the tie at my face.
"Come in before you wake the entire apartment complex."
Jenna follows me inside and leans up against the kitchen countertop. "So, anything you need to tell me?"
"The last time I checked I am a grown adult. I don't believe there is anything I must tell you. My life is mine and what I do with it is my business not yours!" My anger begins to kick in.
"Oh, so fucking my best friend behind my back is not my business?" Jenna shouts.
"No! It is not. And why were you at her apartment this morning?"
"I wanted to tell her I was sorry for all that has occurred and for lying about Jordan. Then when I found your tie, I lost my cool and told her that I hate her and never want to see her again."
"Jenna, this is absurd. Just because Aria is your best friend does not mean you can act like this. Friends do not treat friends like this. If it was any girl off the street, you would not be this way. Are you jealous of the two of us?"
"Jealous? Hell no, I am not jealous. It just makes me sick that you two are shacking up behind my back." Jenna's eyes fill with tears.
"We have had to keep a secret from you as we both knew you would act like this. And the moment you began to catch on, you have proven the both of us right. We knew you would act like a child over this entire thing. Aria is good to me. Why can’t you be happy for us?"
"Like I said, it is weird! You are my brother, and she is my best friend. The vision of you two in bed makes me about half sick to my stomach." Jenna wipes a tear from her cheek.
"Listen, I cannot stand for this anymore. I care about Aria. In fact, I have intense feelings for her. I know she feels the same way about me. You will have to come to accept this, Jenna. That is how it will be!"
"Whatever, Eric!" Jenna storms out of my apartment and slams the door.
The feeling of rage consumes my body, and I know I need to warn Aria. Besides, she and I should talk this over to ensure we both are ready for this battle with my sister. Because I have to be at work soon, I call Aria rather than run across the hall to see her.
"Hello?" Aria answers.
"Hey, it’s me. I just had a visit from my sister."
"I know, so did I. It was very unpleasant to say the least." Aria sounds like she has been crying.
"I experienced the same. Listen, with all of this going on, I would like to talk in person. Would you join me for dinner tonight?"
"Yeah, I would like that," Aria's voice is almost in a whisper. "I feel terrible about all of this, Eric."
