"Bro? Sis? What the fuck is going on?" I asked my roommate Annie and Marc her 'brother' who I'd just finished having sex with.
Marc looked at me nervously and said, "I should've told you last night. God I'm such an idiot. I'm so sorry Chiara!"
I slapped Marc with all my strength and then got out of the bed and walked over to Annie and punched her in the mouth.
"You fucking manipulative bitch! Do you think I'm a plaything that you can wrap up in your lies?"
Annie touched her bloody mouth and looked down at me.
"I deserved that," she said. "But Marc is as much a victim of my machinations as you are. Don't be mad at him."
I stalked around the room like a caged tigress. "You expect me to believe you? When did you plot this thing out Annie? The day we met? Last week? Christ I feel like such a fool!"
"Kiki STOP!" Yelled Annie. "I'm going to be totally honest okay? Just sit down and listen."
I pouted but sat back down on the bed. Marc tried to put his arm around me but I brushed it off.
"Kiki I fell for you the day you walked through that door. I thought, no I hoped like hell that I could convince you to love me like I loved you. Unfortunately for me you couldn't feel for me the way I felt for you. That's when I knew you were the perfect girl for Marc, you're smart, funny, pretty as an angel and just the sweetest little thing. So I started setting things in motion for him to meet you at the Halloween party. But I screwed that up too and I'm sorry. I know you hate me but maybe one day you will find it in you to forgive me. I was just trying to look out for the two people I love the most in this world." Annie wiped her tearing eyes and sat on her computer chair, drained of life.
I looked from Annie to Marc. Marc looked hopeful, Annie looked like she was dead. I moved toward Annie and knelt in front of her. Now I was crying too. I couldn't see my dear friend hurting like this.
"Annie please don't cry. I'm so sorry for what I did!" I held her tight then kissed her bloody mouth, tasting her blood on my lips.
"No Kiki, I deserve what you did. But you didn't deserve what I did to you. You and Marc both should hate me."
"Sis, this is probably one of the lowest things you've ever done. But your heart was in the right place for once, and if you hadn't done the things you did, I don't know if I would have ever met Kiki. Even though you've burned me a million times in the past, I can't hate you this time," said Marc.
"I can't hate you either Annie. You've been a great friend and have taught me so many things in the time we've had together. But I think you were right when you told your 'stupid brother' that it was a perfect fit." At this point I smiled at Marc.
Marc looked surprised at my last statement. "So you're not mad Kiki?"
"Oh I'm still mad Marc, you're both just going to have to make it up to me now," I replied.
Marc grinned at Annie, "I think I may be in trouble sis, could you get my back on this?"
"Oh yeah little brother," Annie responded.
That's when they both pounced on me. Annie went low and Marc went high. We fell back onto Annie's bed, Marc was tickling my ribs and along my back. Annie tickled my hips and behind my knees. I was gasping and giggling uncontrollably, they had me completely at their mercy.
Annie and Marc finally stopped and I was able to catch my breath. "You fucks are gonna pay for that," I growled at them.
They mimed the 'Ooooh we're scared' faces at me then we all cracked up laughing.
Annie looked at Marc and I in our nakedness then said, "While it's great to see you both naked, Kiki is getting me hot but bro could you at least put your boxers back on? You've got a great package and all but really."
Marc blushed and quickly slipped his boxers back on while I put my shorts and tank top back on as well.
Marc and I snuggled up on my bed while Annie moved around to be more comfortable on her bed.
I looked at my two lovers and asked what I thought was the obvious question. "So how are we going to work this out?"
Annie and Marc exchanged a look, then Marc said in a quiet voice, "Kiki, would you like to be my girlfriend?"
I seriously thought about it for a minute, how gentle and caring Marc had been last night and today. Then I thought about Annie and how she'd taught me about loving another woman, and how wonderful that could be too.
"I'm very torn about this guys, I love you both. But I've got an idea that may work if you can play nice together." I said.
"Well what is it?" they said in unison.
"Marc I will be your girlfriend in every way that implies. But, only if you accept my relationship with Annie too. I won't dump either of you for the other. It's all or nothing. Sorry guys."
Marc and Annie shared a look then they both got up and went outside. My heart sank as I thought that they'd decided that I wasn't worth the compromise I was offering. I began to cry and feel totally miserable about losing them both to my own selfish needs.
After almost ten minutes of utter hell, Marc and Annie came back into the room. I sniffled and snuffled, wiping my nose on my arm. They'd come in with very serious faces, but when they saw the state I was in they both rushed to me, hugging and kissing me.
"Kiki why are you crying baby?" Annie asked with deep concern.
