I can't even believe this. This is NOT happening. If this is happening then I am going to be in jail with Gina by nightfall because I KNOW that we will end up killing them. That's all there is to it. I could feel the anger building up inside me. Sure I've been cheated on before, but this is totally different. Never have I felt like this before. I thought I was in love before, but I know now that I never really was. I didn't realize what love was until Bailey came back into my life. And yet I find him in here porking Austin?!? From the look on Gina's face as she lunged towards the bed, I knew that Austin was about to have his balls ripped off and fed to him right then and there.
Gina lunged onto the bed and ripped the covers off of them.
"YOU DIRTY MOTHER..."
The covers flew back and we all stood there wide-eyed in shock. They weren't naked?!? Bailey had on his PJ bottoms and Austin had on a pair of sweat pants, but they were pulled up above his knees. What the fuck is going on?
"Wha...Huh...Wha?"
I have never heard Gina this flustered and I had to admit I was in the same boat as her. I would have sounded just as confused if I could find my own voice.
"Lucy, you have some splaining to do!" Sara said in her best Ricky Ricardo voice.
Bailey looked at me and our eyes locked. I could see the twinkle in his eyes. And then it hit me!
"Gina..."
"What the fuck is this?"
"Gina..."
"Damn it, Miah, what?"
She turned and glared at me.
"I think Bailey just paid us back for all the times we got him. It seems he somehow talked Austin into helping him."
As soon as the words left my mouth Bailey and Austin started howling. Gina looked back and forth between them and me and Sara. You could see the recognition dawning on her face. I couldn't believe it myself. I knew that Bailey would eventually figure out a way to get one of us, but I never thought he would get both of us at the same time.
"Miah..."
I have never heard Gina this calm in the whole time I had known her. It actually frightened me. The guys looked surprised too.
"Yes, G?"
"You realize what this means don't you?"
She looked at me, a truly wicked grin on her face, and I knew.
"Yes I do, Gina, it means war."
We grinned at each other. It was the boys' turn to look scared.
"Oh, come on you two. You have to admit that this was fucking classic!"
Bailey had moved off of Austin and was sitting next to him on the bed.
"Oh we admit that, Bailey. You just don't realize that you are out of your league. And now that you've opened the floodgates...well...if I were you, Noah, I would try to start building that ark of yours. The flood is coming!"
Gina and I started laughing as we left the room to go eat breakfast. Sara followed us down the hallway.
"Aren't you guys pissed?"
You could hear the surprise in her voice.
"Not at all, Sara." I started to explain. "You see this whole gotcha thing is a game we've been playing. At first I thought they were really going at it, but now that I know they aren't I am not mad at all. In fact I am kind of impressed that they actually pulled this off. It is fucking classic. I wish I could have seen our faces though."
The three of us started howling.
"You're right, Miah. I am so proud of those two. I was ready to start killing people, but lucky for them it was a joke. Now we have to get revenge!"
We all sat down around the kitchen table and started to eat. Gina and I were whispering our plans to get them back. Sara just sat there wide-eyed. We had come up with an awesome plan!
"You guys are truly evil. I love it though!"
We all quieted down though as the guys walked in. They had both thrown on t-shirts. Bailey leaned down to kiss me and Austin did the same for Gina.
"Everything ok you two?" Bailey asked.
Gina and I just grinned wickedly at each other.
"Everything is perfect." We said at the same time.
The boys didn't know what they were in for.
* * *
The next few months had gone by rather quickly. Bailey and Austin were afraid at first of what Gina and I might have in store for them. After a few weeks though they weren't worried about it. Foolish boys. Little did they know that you had to have patience to play this game. And for our plan to work we needed some time. We decided that we would get each one of them separately. Austin was first on the list. We were still figuring out our plan to get Bailey.
I was glad things were going so well with Gina and Austin. He turned out to be a really awesome guy. He was over at our place more then he was at his own apartment. I knew it was only a matter of time before Austin was moving in with us as well. Bailey, Gina, and I were talking about it the other night. Gina was just waiting for the right time to ask him. Bailey didn't know though that Gina and I decided to spring our trap on Austin first. If he were able to handle that then he wouldn't have any problems living with all of us. We decided that I put my part of the plan in action first. We had to wait for the perfect time though.
Luckily one morning things fell into place without our having to even set it up. Sara had an audition and Bailey offered to take her. So that got the two of them out of the apartment. The night before Bailey agreed to take Sara to the audition and Gina looked over at me and winked without anyone seeing it. I knew that the next morning we would put our plan for Austin into action. I just hoped that it would work!
So that next morning I found myself standing by the coffee maker and smoking a cigarette. I could hear movement in the hallway and I knew it was Austin. Gina knew to keep her ass in bed. I had been up for about a half hour and had worked myself up to the point of almost tears. The boy had no idea what was going to hit him.
I kept my back to him as he came into the kitchen. I acted like I didn't hear him.
"Morning, Miah." He said cheerfully.
I spun around and wiped some of the tears off of my face.
"Oh...hey Austin...good morning."
He looked at me and I could see the concern on his face, and I almost didn't have the heart to go through with it. The picture of him in bed with Bailey though flashed through my mind. This had to be done. I had to tip the scale back in our favor. Austin was dressed like I was. We both had on PJ bottoms, no shirt, and were barefoot. I smiled at him, trying to make him think everything was ok.
"You want some coffee, Aust?" I asked using the nickname we had all given him.
"Sure, Miah thanks."
He came up behind me and stood there for a second. This was going to work out all too well.
"Are you ok, Miah?"
I felt his hand touch my bare shoulder. He rubbed his hand back and forth.
"Yeah, Aust, everything is fine."
I turned and handed him the cup of coffee. He took it, but set it back down on the counter. He put both of his hands on my shoulders and looked right at me.
"Miah, I can tell something is wrong. Come on bud talk to me. We're friends aren't we?"
I took a deep breath and gulped. He was walking right into this. I almost felt bad. Almost being the key word there.
"Of course we're friends, Austin. It's just that...well...Bailey and I..."
I tried to make myself look like I was getting worked up. Maybe I should have gone on that audition with Sara. I was doing pretty well.
"Is everything ok with you and B?"
His hands were rubbing my shoulders and his eyes were locked on my face.
"Yes...no...I mean...I don't know. I think things may be over with between Bailey and Me Austin. We are fighting all the time, and I just don't have the energy anymore..."
I let my voice trail off and I looked away from him. Austin pulled me up against him in a tight hug. He was whispering in my ear.
"Everything will work out, Miah. You and B were meant for each other. I've only known you guys for a few months, but I can tell that y'all have the real thing. You just need to talk to him and let him know how you are feeling. I know you can work anything out."
