Chapter Seven
âOkay did any of you know that my brother was gayâŠand if so why didnât yaâll tell me. I mean heâs my brother, didnât anyone think that I might wanna know something this fucking important?â Matt ranted.
Jeff, Nikki, Willow, and Xander had retreated to the bedrooms of the suite to dress, after Linda brought them out of their post-orgasmic haze by closing the door of the suite with a loud thud. All four of the loverâs heads came up in exhausted suddenness.
âHoly fuckin shit. Donât you people knock.â Jeff yelled as he and his mates ran to the rooms to dress. As he reentered to hear his brotherâs query, Jeff replied. âWell First of all, itâs not necessarily any of your business. I mean yeah youâre my brother and I love you, but since itâs my love life I donât really have to tell you anything about it. And second of allâŠIâm not gay, Iâm not even bi really. Iâve never been attracted to a guy other than Xander. Probably never will be.â
Willow joined Jeff. The extreme wrestler had settles on the back of one of the roomsâ large armchairs. The redhead sat on one arm, while Xander sat in the seat of the chair. Nikki hopped onto the other arm. They presented a happy, unified front. Once more Jerichoâs voice filled the silence, âso basically, you are in love with Xander the personâŠnot Xander the gender, and you were just expressing that physically.â
âAnd what a beautiful physical expression that turned out to be.â Amy and Linda said simultaneously. Both women were having wonderfully naughty thoughts and images of the two men together.
âWould you two please stop imagining my brother and his male lover in indelicate situations?â Matt Whispered painfully. âJeff isnât this a little fast? I mean youâve only know them for like six weeksâŠI get love at first sightâŠreally I do, but with three people one of them a male? When youâve never shown any previous desire for one before. I mean are you really, absolutely sure about this?â Mattâs concern and love for his brother was beautifully evident in his voice.
âBelieve it or not I wondered the same thing. But God, Matt, you have know idea how right this is. How right it feels. And I know that you are never gonna believe me butâŠMom told me that this is where I need to be. Loving and being loved by these three people.â Jeff admitted abashedly.
âUm let me be the first one to say HUH? Jeff youâre mom passed away quite some time ago, right?â Amy asked quietly.
âYeahâŠbut it was her and she and I were sitting at that old picnic table in the backyardâŠshe was glowing with this wonderful, warm light. She was dressed in this flowy, white dress thing. She told me that even though others might not understand, Willow, me, Nikki and Xander were destined to be and together weâd accomplish so much more than we could individually.â Jeff told her.
âBesides my grandmother has also been gone for quite sometime, but she came to me as well. She even went so far as to laugh at me cause I never could do things the normal way. God, Iâd almost forgotten how much my mother looks like her. And it was so nice to just be able to talk to her. To tell her exactly how crazy her other daughters have gotten. It was wonderful. She said something about the time finally being right.â Nikkiâs voice trailed off.
âThe time is finally right, everything is in the proper place. Iâd been hearing that in my dreams for a while before Kliq night out. It was constantly there. But I could never figure out what the time was right for.â Willow said perplexed.
âSame here. It was freakyâŠI was gonna ask you what you thought they meant but then they stoppedâŠI guess cause we had done what they wanted us to do. Still what was it time for exactly?â Xander wondered aloud.
âFor you and Willow to be together. I mean think about it Xander and Willowâs love for each other was strong enough to save the world, but the time wasnât right for them to be together yet cause that hadnât met the other parts of the equation. And if they had been together then, well then they would never have allowed themselves to fall for Nikki and Jeff too. But had they gotten together with just Nikki and Jeff, then their connection would have torn apart those marriages.â Amy statedâŠsounding a little Gilesian.
âAnd youâre okay with all of thisâŠwith sharing your wife with another man-with all these changes, because of a dream?â Matt asked confused.
âLook Matt, Iâm not saying that this is for everyoneâŠbut it is what works for us.â Jeff said simply.
âNikki, you are sure that this is what you want as well? I mean we all heard your aunts when you were only involved with one white guy but 2 and a white girlâŠarenât they gonna flip?â Linda asked, concerned for the other, younger black woman.
âIt fits me so well. We all bring so much to the relationship that I donât think it could actually work in halves. As for my family-my sister will love it; she calls me a prude so that tells you where her mind is. My mom will think Iâm crazy, but sheâs always been a firm believer that there are two loves in this world that should be completely unconditionalâŠthat of God for all of us and a parent for their child. Sides, she canât possibly hate Jeff and Xander more than she hates Mindyâs husband Tony. As for the Aunts-if I let them know-will say that all four of us are gonna burn in hell for thisâŠwell, except Willow. Witches donât burn; they spend eternity performing sexual acts for Satan and his minions. You know if not for the whole slavery thing theyâd have fit in wonderfully in the 18th century.â Nikki chuckled. âMy aunts even refuse to read the Harry Potter books. âGarbage in is Garbage outâ thatâs TiTiâs favorite saying.â
Willow shook her head in consternation. âOkay kinda superficial question in the middle of a pretty deep conversation but what exactly are your aunts names. Iâve only ever heard you call them their nicknames.â
âWell Auntie is the oldest, her name is Mary Jane-Yes JerichoâŠlike pot. Next is Ursula-Ursi, as I call her. And finally there is TiTi, who is younger than my mom, Bettina, but youâd never know it from the way TiTi always tries to boss her around. Anyway TiTi is Tallulah, the youngest girl.â Nikki explained matter of factly.
âHey why did you guys come to our room anyway?â Xander inquired.
Jericho smiled. âWe just wanted to check on Nikki, make sure she was okay. See how she was doing.â The blond said from his seat next to Amy.
âThatâs so sweet. Iâm doing pretty well. Thanks.â Nikki said with a satisfied smile.
âYeah we could see that. We should all be so well.â Amy teased, ânot that I-I just meant. You know Iâm gonna shut up now before I find out what my knee tastes like instead of just my foot.â The taller redhead blushed furiously.
Jeff watched Matt as the others conversed around them. Finally he had to ask the question pressing on his heart and mind. âSo are we okay?â Jeff directed the question at the room at largeâŠbut mostly towards his older brother.
Jericho spoke first; mainly just so no awkward tension would build. âNot sure that you guys care about my opinion but weâre all still okay. Though I may have to start calling Xander and Jeff the pimp papas of the WWE.â
Everyone chuckled. Jeff studied his brother as Linda and Amy expressed their happiness for their friendsâ joy. The whole room was looking at Matt warily.
âWould yaâll stop looking at me like Iâm bout to turn this into a Springer moment? Iâm not. Gawd. Iâm okay with all of this. I was worried about him.â Matt looked directly at Jeff. âAll I want for you is your happiness. Plus Maybe Willow and Nikki can help me talk you out of your more insane stunts.â Matt teased.
Xander looked suitably insulted. âWhy donât I get to help? Iâve got plenty of experience of talking people out of doing dangerous stuff!â
âXander you picked up the Big Show like he was Rey-Rey. I donât think I trust you to not be right there with him. Anyway as I was saying.â Matt rolled his eyes at Xander. âIf this is whatâs going to make you happy, then Iâm happy for ya. Then this is what I want you to have. Of course now Iâve got two younger sisters and another younger brother to be fiercely overprotective of, man this could be fun. Driving all four of you nutty with the protective big brother stchick. I can the possibilities inherent in this. Now give me a hug and weâre gonna leave yaâll to whatever it is yaâll were doing before. You know what they sayâŠfourâs company, but eightâs a crowd.â
Jeff Gave his big brother a huge hug, and a big smile. The Willow, Nikki, and Xander all joined in. Amy laughed and called for a group hug, the others piled inâŠJericho dragged by Linda. They left the foursome alone, and the lovers soon returned to their earlier, pleasant pursuits.
After leaving the four lovers alone Amy and Linda began making plans for the evening. In a whisper Amy asked her friend worriedly, âwould it be bad of me to ask you to see if you could bunk with Matt tonight? Would I be being a big ole ho?â
âHell, I was gonna ask you the same thing. Why do you think I talked Jericho and Matt into sharing? You know that Chris usually gets a suite.â Linda smiled devilishly. âBut if heâd have had one tonight couldnât be sure he wouldnât be stuck sharing a two room with Regal again.â
Amy shivered in disgust. âAnd God Iâd hate to have Steven within hearing distance. Eeeewwww.â
Lindaâs face conveyed a sympathetic look of revulsion. âSo its okay for me and Matt to hear you guys is that it?â Linda taunted.
âGirl, please, you and Matt will be so busy that Chris and I could hold a bacchanalian orgy all around yaâll and youâd never even know it.â Amy smirked knowingly.
