Triple Threat

by Bella Jeanisse

  “We had dinner and went out to a few places,” Giovanni replied.

  Chris looked at Giovanni, puzzled. “Since when do roommates do things like that?”

  “They’re dating now,” Chad interjected and then he walked inside.

  Chris quickly followed him, saying, “Dude, what’s wrong?”

  I looked at the door to the house. I felt guilty for being happy. How could I do that to Chad? As soon as Giovanni started up his bike again for Mark, I went inside.

  “How could she do this to me?” I heard Chad shout. It took me a minute to realize they were in Chad’s bedroom. “I’m fucking quitting! I can’t watch her with him.”

  While I walked down that hallway, Chris told him. “This band means as much to you as she does. If you quit, you’re gonna be even more miserable. Man, just suck it up and let them be happy. You know you want her happy, right?”

  “You know I do, but I gotta look at them all the fucking time. If I quit, maybe I can just hang out with her sometimes, without him.”

  “She’s still your best friend.”

  “Yeah, right.”

  Then I heard the doorknob turn and ran back to the living room. When Chad came into view, I stopped him. “I’m sorry.” I looked up at him. “Please don’t leave the band. We need to make it together.”

  “Baby, please.” He pulled away from me and walked to the kitchen.

  I quickly followed him. “Chad, I still care about you.”

  “But not as much as you do for him.”

  “You said you wanted me to be happy. I am.”

  “That doesn’t make it hurt any less. I’ll stay in the band ’til you get another guitarist, OK?”

  I stood in front of him and put my hands on his waist. “Please don’t. I need you. I don’t wanna do this without you. I wanna share everything with you.”

  “Everything but love.”

  “That’s not fair.”

  “No, it’s not. I love you and you left me!”

  “There was no us, and you know it, Chad. I told you long ago it was no strings attached. You agreed.”

  “Sorry, baby. I know that.” He touched my cheek. “Can you convince him to do another threesome? I can deal with him calling the shots as long as I get to sink into you again.”

  “I’ll ask him. I’d like that too. Having you both was so amazing.”

  He gave me a strong hug. “That’s all I can ask.”

  “Are you still quitting?”

  “No, baby.”

  As soon as Chad and I were outside again, I went to Giovanni and gave him a kiss on the cheek. He looked surprised. “On the cheek?”

  Then Chris came to us and put his hand on Giovanni’s shoulder. “You finally got up the guts to tell her you loved her?”

  “Did everybody know besides me?” I asked.

  They all answered together, “Yes!” Then they started laughing. Well, all but Chad.

  Giovanni put his arm around my shoulders and whispered in my ear. “We’re gonna make up for all that lost time, just like we started doing already. You got me now, and I’m not gonna let you go. It doesn’t matter how long it took us to get together. It only matters what we do from here.”

  After the laughter finally died, the guys packed up the vans. Giovanni put the Harley in Chad’s garage. Then we were off to our next gig.
