Hey everyone, I know it's been a few months since my last update, and
a lot
has happened since that day of discovery.
Where do I even start? I suppose the next couple of days and weeks?
So after that day, I stayed over another day. Obviously. Vanny and I did fuck a lot more too, mostly her pounding me relentlessly, other times I'd fuck her. We discovered that if I wanted it, she could make her whole giant fuck rod vanish temporarily, which made it easier to do. But we also spent a lot of time gaming and talking. She asked if I'd join on her stream and I did, though we only had two viewers. Apparently streaming as a gamer isn't as easy as streaming as a 'gamer'.
When we did finally go back to work, I took Gemma aside and talked to her. It was...well awkward is a word for it.
"Ace...I..."
"Gem, it's fine. I meant what I said in the text; I'm not mad and I forgive you. Plus, I think we both know there's something...irresistible about it." I said it and meant it, though I would be
very
careful about the two of them being around each other. I'm not vindictive or anything, but...well if
you'd
been cheated on, I don't think you'd want the two players around each other either.
"I...I didn't mean to! I promise!" Her lips, those big pillowy lips that I'd kissed a lot those last couple days, though on
Vanny
(gods that thought is still weird, even all these months later), trembled and she looked like she was going to cry. In all the years we'd been friends, I'd only seen her cry a small handful of times, so it threw me for a loop.
"I believe you, I do. It's ok, Gem. We're ok, don't worry." I wanted to tell her about Vanny and the whole witch thing, but that wasn't my place. I'd have to at least
ask
Vanny first.
I pulled her into a hug and she shuddered a bit, then took a couple deep breaths before pulling away.
"So...what now?" There was the Gemma I'd come to know. Straight shoulders, confident stance. I know she isn't
just
what she portrayed, of course, but it's always good to see.
"Now nothing. I might be a bit weird here and there, but it's ok, don't worry."
"Worry about what?"
We both flinched as Jake turned a corner, having heard the very tail end of our conversation. I love Jake, I really do, but he is
not
someone who could handle...well any of this. If he found out about Gemma and Vanny cheating, he'd probably explode. Not violently or anything, but when his dad had cheated on his mom, he'd cussed him out for a solid
hour
, his dad couldn't get a single word in. Then he'd thrown his dad's clothes - his mom had packed them - out the window of his second story bedroom and hasn't talked to him since.
And everything else? I don't even
know
how he'd react. Witches, magic, impossible genitals? Even if he had proof, I don't know if he'd even believe it.
"Nothing, you eavesdropper." Gemma said before I could say anything.
"Well that just means something juicy. Tell me later, Ace?" He looked to me and winked. I just shook my head, trying hard not to smile at his antics. Honestly, it felt really good to return to a sense of normality, as...abnormal as Jake is.
"Really nothing, dude. Locked up." It was a thing we'd come up with, years ago. The three of us share a lot. Most of the time, we talked to each other like diaries; telling our inner thoughts and feelings, everything. But we also learned
really
early on, that sometimes we needed to keep something to ourselves, or to one other. So, if we just didn't wanna talk about it at that moment, we'd say 'unlocked, open later' and if it was something that we
never
wanted to share, 'locked up'. And that was that. Honestly, I think it was probably the healthiest thing we'd ever agreed on.
His face fell a bit, but then he shrugged.
"Fine, fine, ok. So, rumour has it that you called in yesterday, two days after your date? You stay over a little extra, huh?" He nudged me and I couldn't hold back my grin. Even Gemma cracked a small smile. Jake, while a little...extra at times, well he holds us together as a trio.
"Something like that, you goof."
"So...tell me! Did I miss out on a primo lady?" Gemma coughed and rolled her eyes and I just smirked.
"Grow up, weirdo. But...yes. Vanessa is...well, I think she's one of a kind." Metaphorically and literally.
Gemma nodded, her eyes glazed over a bit, but then shook her head.
"Sorry,
bros
, but I have a
job
to get to, so I'mma leave the whole
guy talk
thing you got going on here. Toodles." And she walked off, drawing all the same eyes as always. Part of me smirked, internally, knowing I could tap that whenever I wanted, albeit in a...different way.
Another part of me was appalled that I'd even think like that.
"She's right. We also gotta work." I murmured and Jake rolled his eyes but nodded.
"Fiiiine, be no fun. You free later? I was thinking about hitting up that new video game bar down town?" He asked as he shrugged on his uniform and I frowned.
"Maybe. Me and Vanny were thinking about going out, though we haven't picked a place."
He groaned.
"Ugh, I'm gonna be third wheeling again, aren't I?"
I just grinned and walked off.
"Traitor!" He yelled back, and we both laughed.
We did end up going out to it, it was pretty cool. Arcade machines, pinball, alcohol? They go together like PB&J, mac and cheese, Mario kart and competition. We had a hell of a time, drinking cocktails like the Pikachu and Sonic, and pizza that they make in house.
It was more expensive than you'd think, and definitely over priced, but not egregiously so. Plus, Vanny paid her own way, and even offered to pay for the next date. She would've paid for this one, but she hadn't budgeted for it so soon. I hugged her at that, and we shared a deep kiss that only ended when Jake made a sound of supreme annoyance. We'd just laughed at him.
Gemma joined us part way through, and the four of us hung out for a while, before getting cabs home. Vanny invited me back to her place and I didn't even pause to think before agreeing.
Not sure if I made this clear last time, but Vanny
can
