I nodded, looking over at the massive Christmas tree beyond him. The lights twinkled, illuminating the ornaments hung among the branches. I directed my attention back to the two of them as they were waiting for my full response. “She was perfectly fine with it. She doesn’t want us to risk anything by trying to get home tonight. I told her I would keep her posted on what happens and that we would be home tomorrow for Christmas.”
“Mine basically said the same,” Miles offered from where he was sitting.
“So did mine,” Julian added.
I shifted my weight on my feet as I looked between them. “So, now what?”
A smirk played on Julian’s lips. “How about we get you that drink you were saying you needed?”
“A drink already?” Miles laughed. “Isn’t it a little early for that?”
“Not at all,” I told him. “We haven’t had breakfast yet and mimosas are perfect for any time of the day.”
Miles rose to his feet and they both stepped to either side of me. “Let’s go see where we can get you what you’re looking for.”
I half choked on the breath I was trying to inhale. I didn’t have to go far to find what I was looking for…

We were all seated around a table, waiting for the breakfast we had ordered to be brought to us. I slowly sipped my mimosa while Julian did the same. Miles opted for a Bloody Mary, though the thought of vodka and tomato juice just never seemed appealing to me. The three of us had fallen into a conversation, talking about how it would be perfect to ski after the snow finished falling, but there was still the elephant in the room.
I had addressed it with Julian… kind of. But nothing had been said between Miles and I. It was a conversation that I wasn’t sure how to approach and I couldn’t help but feel a little strange with Julian sitting here as I considered bringing it up. The whole situation was fucking bizarre. I mean, I’m sure it was a lot of girls’ dreams.
There was never a point in my life where I considered the possibility of having to choose one or the other when it came to Miles and Julian. It was something I never imagined happening with either of them, so the fact that they both wanted me and wanted to share me made it even more difficult to wrap my mind around. One of them never felt like an option…
I was still walking around in a bit of a shocked state. My mom’s words rang in my head. She wanted me to live my life more instead of focusing on work. This wasn't how I pictured living my life would look, but it was time for me to stop playing everything safe. It was time to start taking risks.
And I was going to start with my two best friends.
“Miles.” I said his name softly as there was a break in the conversation he and Julian had slipped into while I was lost in my own mind. “Julian and I already addressed the elephant in the room, but I have questions for you.”
He tilted his head to the side, a mischievous grin playing on his lips. “What do you want to know, sweets? I’m sure Julian probably spoke enough for the both of us.”
He was right. I didn’t need any more confirmation from him. Between what happened last night and what Julian said this morning, it was confirmed. Miles wanted me just as badly as Julian did. But he was still my best friend and the last thing I wanted to do was ruin that if it wasn’t something he was truly comfortable risking.
“Are you sure this is what you want?”
His eyebrows tugged together. “What do you mean?”
“Me,” I said quietly, not fully trusting my voice. “Are you sure you want me when your best friend does too?”
“Oh, sweets.” Miles smiled brightly, shaking his head as a chuckle rumbled in his chest. “I’ve wanted you since Ireallynoticed you in high school. Since you transformed from our best friend to the girl every other guy was staring at with a bead of drool dripping from his mouth. It was a lot of fucking work chasing those assholes away.”
“Wait… you guys are the reason why no one ever wanted to date me in high school?”
Julian laughed softly. “If we couldn’t have you, they sure as fuck weren’t going to.”
“You guys are assholes.” I snorted while rolling my eyes. I looked back to Miles, finding his eyes already on mine.
His blue eyes burned holes through mine. “To answer your question, I’ve never been more sure about anything else in my life.”
I swallowed roughly as I glanced between them. “And you both want to share?”
“Sharing is caring.” Miles smirked and winked at me. “Yes, Raegan. Stop overthinking this shit. Just go with it and see where it takes all of us.”
“Are you okay with this?” Julian asked me, his voice soft like velvet. “I know it’s a little unconventional…”
My chest rose as I inhaled deeply, before exhaling slowly. My gaze shifted from Julian to Miles before returning to Julian.
