Good Morning – Part I

17 min left

Juniper woke feeling squished and her mattress lumpy and hard.

Somehow, through the night, she managed to get herself to lay completely on top of Phineas. It explained the hard and lumpy but the heavy was the surprise. Adil’s leg was thrown over her and Beni’s arms were wrapped around both her and Phineas. They were in some kind of pile–up, with Phineas being the bottom and the rest all wrapped around and on him.

Quiet mumbling made her squeeze her eyes shut. The alcohol was long gone from her system and embarrassment at some of the things she’d said and done the night before while her inhibitions were down now running rampant through her brain.

“We’ll need to sit down and really discuss ground rules.”

Beni’s voice, sleepy yet serious as he stretched his body closer around her atop Phineas.

“Mm,” Phineas grunted quietly. “I want rule number one for her to always sleep like this.”

“Did you pull her there?” Adil asked flexing his feet against her calf.

“Nope. She climbed me about half an hour after we all fell asleep. Crawled right on top of me, snuggled in, tucked her

hands under her chin, and started snoring. Cutest fucking thing

I’ve ever seen.”

“I swear she’s half cat,” Adil agreed. “You know those little. kittens who like to sleep next to a heartbeat. She simply curls up there all warm and content.”

“Yesterday was a hard day for her,” Phineas said quietly. “She did her therapy homework by forcing herself to go out alone. She then was confronted by Denise and then Kyst. She was seeking comfort and needed to be held. I’m glad we stayed.”

“Me too.” Beni said softly as he stroked her back gently. “I’ve never been one for physical altercations, but holy fuck did I ever want to beat the fuck out of Kyst last night. Did you hear his bullshit? You’re my wife,” he mocked Kyst’s voice. “Winy pathetic motherfucker. He didn’t seem to remember he had a wife when he was putting his dick in your wife, Phineas.”

“Don’t call her my wife,” Phineas sighed. “I hate her. I hated her a few weeks before the wedding and my grandfather insisted it was cold feet because I didn’t want to be tied down. The fucking wedding fiasco proved to me she was nuts. The stealing the morning after confirmed she was not anything like she ever portrayed to her parents and grandfather, especially her grandfather. The last year has been the most miserable of my life.” His lips pressed against the top of Juniper’s head. “I can’t believe I get to hold her in my arms after the hell of the last little while.”

“Not that I’m saying I want anything sexual with either of you,” Adil cleared his throat, “because the notion of fucking or being fucked by either of you makes me want to blow chunks but I like this.”

“This?”

“I feel she’s the thing which connects us and makes us the family the three of us always swore we were. Look how good the three of us fit together. It’s like one of those weird little puzzle boxes with all the pieces and parts which look like the belong together but without the one little key piece in the middle, it simply doesn’t stay together. Now, we fit. We fit together like we’re meant to be together. She’s the key holding our puzzle together.”

“What you’re saying Adil,” Beni’s voice took a teasing quality. “is you’ve always dreamed of sleeping wrapped around Phineas while I am wrapped around you?”

“Fuck off,” Adil laughed lowly. “We all know we’ve slept like this a million fucking times when our fathers would drag us camping. They used to laugh at us because we’d zip our sleeping bags together and then throw the extra one on top because it was far warmer. I swear they bought us the cheap ass bags and left us to freeze while they bought sub thermal ones for themselves, cheap fuckers.”

Beni laughed at Adil’s griping. “Remember the time we found out your father was shoving hot water bottles in his sleeping bag and refused to give us one?”

Adil grunted, “Adil, you need to toughen up. When you’re a grown man and can afford luxuries on your own, you can buy them.” His voice was edgy, “he still is a condescending prick. He is not going to understand our little quad.”

“No, he won’t,” Phineas said quietly. “My mother will. My father is going to call some bullshit though.”

“My parents will understand.” Beni’s hand was tracing little patterns on Juniper’s neck. “My mother was surprised when we sold our college apartment, and each bought our own places. She said she thought we’d be co–dependent forever.”
