The last two weeks have been the greatest of my life. Not only was I married to the man of my dreams, but also my mom was back in my life! Gina and Austin had gotten us a room at the hotel for our wedding night. I had a very hot sensuous night with my husband. Just thinking about it now made my face turn tomato red. That man amazed me every time we had sex. He could write a flipping book! One of the best things has been all the time I’ve been able to spend with my mom. It was wonderful to get to know her. She is such a sweet and compassionate person. I had a blast showing her around the city and playing tour guide. Unfortunately she hasn’t been feeling well the past couple of days. We made her leave the hotel she was staying in and come stay at the apartment. This way I could take care of her. Of course everyone else pitched in and helped out.
I was lying across one of the couches sipping my coffee and having a smoke. I was watching one of my morning talk shows as Austin came into the living room.
“Morning, bro. How is it that you are always up before me?” he asked.
He stood next to the couch.
“I’m always up first cause you can’t get your lazy ass out of bed.” I said with a grin.
He motioned for me to move so he could sit down. I leaned up a bit giving him some room. As he sat down though I plopped my head down in his lap and made myself comfortable. This had actually become sort of a morning routine for us. Gina and Bailey could sleep forever, but Austin and I were always up early. It was always good bonding time for us.
Austin glanced at the TV.
“So is Kelly giving Regis hell again this morning?”
“I wouldn’t be watching it if she weren’t.”
Anyone that lived with us would have thought the conversation was scripted because we said that every morning. It was nice though. Comfortable. We sat through the rest of the show without talking. We just enjoyed each other’s company. The past few weeks Austin and I seemed to be getting closer. At first I thought that Gina or Bailey would be jealous of the bond Austin and I had formed, but they weren’t at all. The two of them seemed to have bonded in the same way Austin and I have. The four of us had really become a family. That meant so much to me because it was something I never got the chance to have but always wanted.
I heard movement in the kitchen and looked up to see my mom getting some coffee. I started to get up to help her, but she was already on her way into the living room.
“Lay back down, Miah, I’m fine. I am not an invalid. I’m just not feeling well honey.”
She smiled at me.
“I’m glad to know though that you are concerned about me baby.”
I grinned back at her. Bailey stumbled in and plopped down on the couch opposite us. You could tell that the boy was barely even awake. He glanced over at us.
“Austin, you better not be getting fresh with my husband over there.”
My entire body flushed with happiness. I loved hearing him call me that. I was a very lucky guy.
“I’m not getting fresh, B, besides, Miah is the one who put his head in my lap.”
Bailey shot me a look.
“If you feel something poking the back of your head you better remember that it’s not me, baby, I am the only person who gets to enjoy your talented…”
I cut him off quickly.
“Bailey! My mother is sitting right there. You just be quiet about what goes on behind closed doors.” My mother grinned at us.
“Your door may be closed, honey, but it isn’t sound proof. From what comes out of Bailey’s mouth you are obviously doing something right.”
Bailey turned the brightest shade of red. I’ve never seen him blush like that.
“If you stand by the door it’s almost like you are right next to them.” Austin said with a laugh.
I looked up at him.
“And how would you know that, bro?”
It was Austin’s turn to blush.
“Well…I was on my way to the kitchen to get something to drink and I can’t help it that you two were going at it like rabbits and…”
I raised my hand up and put it over his mouth.
“Just hush, Austin, before you get your other foot stuck in your mouth.”
Bailey stood up and stretched and headed towards the kitchen.
“I’m going to make some breakfast for us.”
My mom stood up and followed him.
“I’ll help make sure you stay awake, Bailey.” She said with a laugh.
As they went into the kitchen I sat up and looked at Austin. He looked back and forth between the TV and me a few times, and I grinned at him.
“What, Miah?”
I licked my lips and giggled.
“Did you really stand by the door, Austin?”
He blushed again and looked away from me. I leaned over to look at him, but he moved up against the arm of the couch away from me. I moved over and tapped him on the shoulder. He ignored me. What the fuck? I tapped him on the shoulder again. His snapped towards me.
“What, Miah?” he snapped at me.
Oh shit. I shouldn’t have teased him about it. I put my arm around him and rubbed his shoulder.
“Don’t snap at me, buddy.” I said in a low, but kind voice. “You want to tell me what’s going on?”
He sighed and looked away from me again.
“I did stand by your door, but not for very long. I couldn’t help it. It just sounded so hot. I am so fucking embarrassed.”
His face turned red again, and I could see the tears build up in his eyes. I reached over and turned his head. I looked him straight in the eyes.
“I’m sorry I teased you about it. I can understand you’re embarrassed, but why are you crying, bro?”
He tried to turn his head away again, but I kept my hand on his face. Our eyes locked together.
“Tell me, Austin.”
“I’m jealous.”
My eyes widened in shock.
“Austin…”
He interrupted me.
“Don’t misunderstand me, Miah, I’m not saying that in a sexual manner at all. It’s just that…”
His voice trailed off. I moved a bit closer to him and tightened my arm around him.
“It’s just what, bro?”
My voice was barely above a whisper.
“You mean a lot to me, Miah, I know we are friends…”
“Best friends.” I said interrupting him.
He smiled at me.
“I’ve had close friends before, but this is different. It’s hard to explain. I feel connected to you, Miah. To be honest, I was freaked out about it. I talked to Gina about it and she suggested I talk to Bailey. I would have done that even if Gina didn’t suggest it. I didn’t want Bailey or Gina to think I was trying to make a play for you or something because I felt drawn to you. I just wanted to be close to you.” He sighed and ran a hand through his hair. “This isn’t coming out right.”
He might have thought it wasn’t coming out right, but I understood exactly what he was saying. Since day one Austin and I seemed to click. We had similar personalities and we seemed to be in sync a lot of the time. It was weird at first, but then it became comforting. It’s very rare to find a friend that you have so much in common with.
“I know what you mean, Austin, I understand completely.”
His face lit up with a brilliant smile. I didn’t want to ruin the moment, but I had to ask my question.
“Why are you jealous though?”
He looked down at his lap, and I was barely able to make out what he was saying.
“I was jealous because Bailey is able to show you how important you are to him. He shows you that you are special. I can’t do that the way he does. I know I must sound stupid, but you’re very important to me, Miah, and…I feel stupid.” He shook his head and wouldn’t look up at me. I leaned over and rested my forehead against the side of his head.
