“We’re going to miss our flight.” Zach caught up to me before I took more than a couple of steps.
“Do you really give a fuck about getting on that plane?” I turned to look his way as I continued walking.
“No—I don’t.” He shook his head and his jaw tightened. “Okay, fuck it—let’s go get the woman we love.”
Love? Maybe. It was certainly more than just an attraction, even if I was more attracted to her than anyone else I had ever laid eyes on. I had fallen for Holly, and I couldn’t let her leave the airport without hearing me say those words out loud. I saw the pain in her eyes. I knew she felt the same way. We could figure out the rest of it together. We might have to spend some time apart, but that was okay if I could at least leave her with a promise—one I would never break. I was coming back to Georgia when I graduated from college, and it wasn’t just going to be for a visit. If I decided to go to law school, then there were plenty of schools in Atlanta that I could attend. Atlanta was certainly big enough for Zach to find the kind of company he wanted to work for. Maybe his dreams had changed too. The only thing that mattered was laying out a new plan—one that involved Holly.
“Fuck, I hope she hasn’t left already.” Zach started walking faster when we approached the exit.
“Then we’ll chase down the fucking SUV on foot if we have to,” I growled under my breath and matched his pace.
Nothing is going to come between us again.
Holly
The key was in the ignition and I was finally ready to crank up the SUV when I looked up to see something that I was almost certain was a mirage. There was no way Andy and Zach were walking towards me. It was a dream manifesting while my eyes were wide awake—one more torturous illusion before I faced the harsh reality of going home alone. I had gone insane and I was seeing things—a hallucination of fantasy that would never be real. I rubbed my eyes and sighed, wholeheartedly believing that when my tears were wiped away that I would see two strangers that had created the visage I would never see. Instead, they were still there—it was them. It couldn’t be? Could it? I grabbed the door and opened it. By the time I got out of the SUV, there was no denying what I saw was real. They started running—I started running.
“What are you doing? You’re going to miss your flight?” Andy hugged me first, and Zach hugged me as soon as he let me go.
“We’re not leaving.” Zach put his hands on my shoulders. “We’re staying here with you as long as we can.”
“What about your parents? They’re expecting you.” I was confused, but the joy was pouring out of me.
“They’ll understand.” Andy smiled and nodded. “We have unfinished business here, and we need to figure it out before we go.”
We exchanged more hugs, passionate kisses, and eventually, we managed to get back in the SUV so we could head back to their place. Their feelings were as strong as mine—too strong to ignore. I struggled during the entire drive, wondering if I was still trapped in a hallucination created by my own delusions. It was no delusion. They really were right there with me. I finally started to believe I wasn’t lost in a dream when we were back in the house and things seemed to be back to the way they were. I gathered the stuff they had packed for me to take home, stuffed it back in the refrigerator, and sat down with them in the living room after we each had a drink. There was silence for a moment, and I wasn’t sure what they were going to say.
“This isn’t going to be easy, but we’re going to find a way to make this work.” Andy sipped his beer and nodded. “What happened between us meant so much—it just can’t end with the two of us getting on a plane and never seeing you again.”
“We fell for you hard.” Zach nodded and smiled. “I don’t think any of us went into this with any expectations outside of what was right in front of us, but that doesn’t change how special it was.”
“I’m so happy to hear you say that.” I grabbed my beer and twisted off the top. “I tried to convince myself that it wasn’t going to turn into anything serious—but that got harder every day.”
“We will both graduate soon, and obviously you need to finish school, which means it will be easier for me to move to Atlanta.” Andy looked over at Zach. “I can go to law school here.”
“It is a nice city.” Zach nodded and sipped his beer. “I’m sure I can find somewhere to work.”
“Or—you could still go to law school with me ” Andy smirked and lifted his beer.
“Nah, I don’t think that’s the right direction for me.” Zach chuckled. “You are going to start believing that at some point.”
“If you guys are here in Atlanta, it’s a short drive for me. I can come to visit you every weekend!” I felt the excitement inside me start to grow at an exponential rate.
We worked out a few more details ov
er several beers, and I was overwhelmed with happiness. We were going to make it work. The gorgeous men that had stolen my heart weren’t going to leave and forget me. They wanted to see just how far the relationship could go, and they wanted it to be permanent. I was already dreaming of weekends in their arms, spending long nights without worrying about what would happen when the sun came up and facing all of the challenges ahead of us together. I didn’t care if the relationship was unconventional. They were everything I wanted, my ultimate fantasy, and two of the most amazing men I had ever met. If they could both love me, then I would love them with just as much ferocity. Andy called his parents to let them know what was going on and made sure they wouldn’t be waiting for them at the airport. I hoped they wouldn’t be angry, but the conversation did seem to go well, based on what I could hear.
“Okay, naughty girl.” Andy grinned as he walked back into the room. “I think it’s time we celebrate our homecoming the right way.”
“Definitely.” Zach extended his hand to me as he rose to his feet.
“I guess it wouldn’t be fair for me to hold out on you since you basically blew off your parents to spend a few more days with me.” I smiled and took Zach’s hand.
“Yeah, you kind of owe us.” Andy walked up behind me and started kissing the back of my neck.
“I’ll make sure it’s more than worth it.” I reached back and started stroking his cock through his pants. “I’m going to be really naughty tonight.”
“I have no doubt about that.” Zach exhaled sharply and traced my lips with his finger.
