When I woke up, I realized I was alone. I resisted the urge to find out what was going on too quickly. However, my bladder was working against me, and I was left with the choice of getting up or peeing the bed.
Pulling on some track pants I went for a pee in our ensuite bathroom. However, flushing meant everyone who was here would know I was up. Wondering into the kitchen I was greeted by two smiling women. This had been my first concern. What if there had been regrets in the early morning light.
"Good morning?" I said testing the waters.
Tina came over and gave me a kiss and a hug.
"How are you this morning?" She asked me.
"I am good, how is everyone else?" I looked over at Sherry.
Sherry smiled back, took a sip of her coffee, and nodded.
"We have been talking," Tina said, "we discussed a lot of things we probably should have discussed before last night. Don't worry, all good. I thought I would have to deal with jealously and was a little surprised that I didn't feel jealous at all. I just love you both so much."
Tina gestured Sherry over to us. We stood in the three-way hug. Sherry gave me a loving kiss and Tina made an 'Aww' sound.
"I love being a part of this," Tina fawned, "Mitfreude."
"What?" I asked, confused.
"It's German, means 'with joy'," Tina explained, "It means joy derived from the enjoyment of others. I was researching something the other day and came across it."
We put together some breakfast and spent some time smiling at each other.
"Can you drive Sherry home?" Tina asked me, "she needs to pack a few things. We thought it would be easier if Sherry stayed here for the next week."
"Sure," I quickly responded. This was always going to be a multi-part exercise, but I guess I had been so focused on the first time and hadn't allowed myself to think past it. Sherry and I would do 'it' again tonight, and the night after. I wondered for a moment; did it have to be at night. We could do it right now I assume. Today was still a workday, so probably not in the middle of the day.
Plans were made, I would drop Sherry at home and pick her up there after work.
