She continued devouring her bagel as if that news was not huge like the size of Texas. Asher and I looked at each other before bursting out laughing. I’m talking, full-on belly, falling off my bar stool laughing.
"I'm glad you guys think my love life falling apart is so funny. I'm glad my pain is hilarious to you." She drank some of her drink and muttered, "Assholes."
Asher was the first to get his shit together. "I'm sorry, firefly, but that is fucking hilarious." He looked at me and said, "I knew something was off with that guy."
In a more serious and sincere tone, he refilled Harp's drink and said, "Firefly, I'm sorry you had to go through that. But he was not the right guy for you."
She deadpanned, "Clearly."
Asher and I shared a knowing glance. Did he realize what I already had? That we all belong together. My gaze locked on the side of her face, and I said, "Babe, we're sorry for laughing. It's just that it makes a lot of sense now that you've said it. I mean, they were always hanging out together. And their movie nights you were never invited to." I cocked my eyebrow and gave her acome the fuck onlook.
She chewed before motioning between Asher and me, "You two are always hanging out, and you guys aren't fucking each other."
Her eyes flew wide, and she grabbed my arm and said, "Wait, are you guys together? Because that would make sense why you never-" Harper didn't finish her sentence because Asher cut her off.
"Fuck no firefly! I'm one hundred percent into pussy." He dropped onto his elbows and stared right into her eyes. His voice went raspy as he said, "There is actually a particular pussy I want."
Her hand was still clutching my arm, so I didn't miss her squeeze at his suggestive tone. I was still staring at her, so I also didn't miss how she clasped her thighs together. Asher turned away to refill his glass.
Harper's eyes were still locked on Asher's turned back; I used two fingers and turned her head so she looked into my eyes when I asked solemnly, "Are you really that upset about not being with Theo anymore? Or is there another reason?"
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, their relationship had always been odd to me. Whenever I was around both of them, they weren't overly affectionate with one another. I've seen them kiss once at midnight on new year's. That wasn't Harper's personality, she was excessively affectionate. Hell, she was always hanging on Asher and me, giving us hugs and kisses on the cheek.
If she were genuinely this upset about her and Theo breaking up, I wouldn't make a move on her while she was grieving the loss of their relationship. I didn't want her to think this was some rebound bullshit because I intended to play for keeps.
She tried to turn her head, but I held her chin. She was locked in my grip, she tried to avert her eyes before I gave her a stern warning, "Babe. Answer the question."
She sighed and I released my grip before she answered, "No. I have love for Theo, but I don't think I was in love with him. I mean, honestly when I walked in on them I was more jealous that Peter was getting to have sex with Theo, and I didn't."
My eyebrows shot into my hairline, Asher's too; now he was back to giving us his full attention. We both respond in unison, "What do you mean?"
I didn't know much about Harper's sex life. That's the only thing I didn't know much about and never have. She had never shared intimate details with me about any guy she had ever been with, and out of respect I'd done the same with her. Not that there had been many women.
She bit down on the corner of her lip like she was trying to find the right words. She reached over and grabbed my freshly filled glass before shooting it back. After she downed the drink, she placed the empty glass back on the bar top and said, "Theo and I have never had sex." The three of us sat silently as that statement hung in the air.
"Babe, what do you mean you guys haven't had sex? You lived together. You've been together for fifteen months. What the fuck have you been doing if you haven't had sex?" I wasn't sure why, but this little news made my heart race excitedly.
Harper didn't answer at first. She finished the rest of her bagel and slide her empty glass over to Asher for another refill. She needed to pace herself, or she would be puking within the hour.
She continued with a heavy sigh when her new drink was in front of her, "When we started dating, he told me he was saving himself for marriage. At first, I thought it was sweet; nice even. I've given him blow jobs and he's fingered me but that's it. So, when he asked me to move in, I thought this was the next step. Even though we weren't married I figured living together, he might change his mind. But even when I tried to suggest anything else, he'd brush it off."
She never looked up from the bar as she sipped her drink and muttered so softly, I almost missed it, "He's never even made me come."
Asher heard her too, because he balked, "He's never made you come. What the fuck, baby?"
Harper was mortified Asher heard her and he was so surprised at her admission that neither noticed the new little term of endearment he had let slip. But I did.
I leaned into her space, "Babe if you need someone to make you come, I volunteer as tribute." I was one hundred percent serious.
She was used to me flirting with her, but not to this level. She did an excellent job of acting like my words didn't cause her pupils to dilate or her thighs to clench, again.
Harper recovered quickly and rolled her eyes before she said, "Yeah, sure thing Micah. Why don't you and Asher go down on me, and I'll see who does a better job." She was being sarcastic, but the slight glimmer in her eyes told me she would also be very much into that.
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Asher smirk as if he was ready to lay her on the bar and do just that.
I leaned back against my stool and openly rearranged my dick. "Just say the word, babe."
She rolled her eyes again and tried to change the subject, but I noticed how she kept shifting in her seat. "Can you guys help me get my shit out of Theo's apartment tomorrow? I told him not to be there."
