"You're real," I said.
"I understand the feeling," she sighed and snuggled against me. "I woke up startled to see you. I thought…" She touched my chest and went lower. Her hand secured my morning wood. "That last night was a fever dream. I mean I used something I would normally use as an exercise routine, for sex. I'm convinced that I may actually be a pervert."
"You don't need to tell me that twice," I said as I stroked her hair.
"Look what you did," she said while showing me her wrists; they were still bruised.
"I'm sorry," I apologized. "In fact I have a lot of things to apologize about."
"Go on then," she said as she sat upright, but she didn't look at me.
"When you kissed me in Glen Allen, I felt, new," I revealed. "But when I realized that you meant that kiss for my brother, I was faced with two decisions, tell you the truth, or become what you desired. From previous experiences, I realized that I didn't have a chance if the person you were in love with was my brother. That's why I lied."
She didn't say anything, and she didn't look at me.
"Whenever you'd spend time withEthan,I'd get jealous of myself," I continued. "Which is why I started becoming more assertive as myself. Then when you showed similar interest in both my persona, I started to get confused. I planned on telling you the truth and hoped that since you were technically in love with the same person, you'd accept me as your true lover."
I took in a deep breath and exhaled. "I'm sorry for what I did. It is uncalled for and no way to get my feelings passed across. I should have faced you directly from the beginning."
She sighed, "That was really a messed up thing to do."
"I'm sorry," I apologized again.
"Then again, you're not the only one at fault here. While there were some similarities, in my eyes, both you and your persona were different persons," she explained. "I was involved with two brothers, and yes they were the same person, but I wasn't aware of it. All I knew was that these two people were brothers. Getting involved with both of them at the same time was the real disturbing thing that had happened."
I had no words for that.
"I'm sorry for confusing you, and for getting your hopes up," she continued. "I should have also considered the feelings of both of you and made a decision earlier. That way, we wouldn't have ended up the way we did. I'm sorry Ian."
"Apology accepted," I acknowledged.
"And yours has been accepted as well," she said with a smile.
At least that had been taken care of. I finally felt better after a month of battling with how I would settle things.
"You should have still reached out though," she pouted.
"I will right now," I said.
"Well, I'll text you my social media handles, you can follow any of them you want," she said as she played with her fingers.
"You're. on social media?" I blurted out.
"Don't have to rub it in. I just want to remain connected," she replied. "Besides, did you know there's this account on insta that shows cute animal fails?"
I actually did thank Chloe.
"No, I didn't know about that," I said.
Her eyes lit up, and a smirk formed on her face, "Of course, you wouldn't know. I'll send you all the reels I've saved. You better be grateful."
She may not act spoiled, but she did have her moments. I wanted to burst her bubble and tell her that I was already aware of such accounts. But she seemed genuinely happy.
"Do you think we can actually go back?" I asked the question that had lingered on my mind from the previous night up to the moment I apologized. "To the way we were in Richmond?"
"I don't know…" she replied. "Things are a little complicated right now, and to be honest, I may have forgiven you, but I may or may not have feelings for theEthanside of you. I might need to sort my feelings out."
"I see," I said softly.
