Chapter 1

I blinkedopen I was coasted, astonished Whatever you wanted to call it, that was me I could not wrap my mind around what I’d just heard, let alone try to come up with some sort of sensible answer

But let’s back up for a second Over a year ago, I conned eta tattoo, the first of the three she’s now sporting, but oing to , but that only lasted about six months, especially after I ripped it Now, I actually have my own ink, drawn up specially by Brandon, Luke’s brother They own Skin Deep together, and they do very well

It’s a very cute little tattoo; just a sht hip Brandon was also the one who pierced ured he should be the one to do ive ue?

I didn’t want anything big because I’m a small woman I’m only 5’2, size 3/4, but what I lack in size, I ht now I’m still stuck on the fact that Jackson, who is Luke and Brandon’s best friend that ishere from LA (who the hellhere in front ofsaid what he just did

"Allie? Did you hear me?" Jacks asked patiently

I personally wouldn’t have been patient if I’d asked soain, I don’t know if I’d ever ask someone what he did

"Allie, seriously Are you ever going to give us a chance to really be with you? You’ve been teasing us for months now, and while I love your few and far between kisses, I wantup beside …hell, anytiasped "But, Jackson! You…I…you don’t know that you want that! You can’t know that you want that And what about-" I stopped as he cut ht? You don’t have to worry about that In fact, he and I have already discussed this We’re willing to work it out, to try it, at least We want it to work because we both want more from you"

A warht We did discuss this, Allie, because we both want to be with you, and we know that you want to be with us Both of us We also know that being with both of us is not conventional, and it ives a fuck? If we’re happy, isn’t that all thatyou back, Allie?"

Brandon walked around the couch and plopped down on the other side ofme pressed between two hard, very war about it, but…I still had no idea what to say to them, how to answer Brandon’s question

Emma had called me at the store today and asked if I wanted to coht, maybe watch one of the hundreds of movies that Luke and Brandon had collected over the years, but when I’d gotten here, she’d told ht They were going to go get dinner and ato order pizza and chill at horeed, not realizing that I’d been set up That didn’t coo when Brandon joined our discussion
