I wake up with Livia curled around me. A smile spreads across my face.

Livia stirs in her sleep, her leg brushing my dick. If morning wood weren’t already a thing, that one small touch would be enough to get me rock hard. She is so sexy I’m almost constantly turned on by her. It’s gotten me into awkward situations many times.

I want to wake her up so we can have sex but she looks so peaceful in my arms I’ll let her wake up on her own.

Josh stayed at his new girlfriend’s place so we shouldn’t have to worry about him coming back to the room any time soon and interrupting anything. And Sara currently hates me so it’s not like she will come barging in. Not that I can blame her. What I did to her was pretty shitty. Especially knowing how she feels about me.

Livia wants me to make up with her. And while I want to, and I love having Sara as a friend, I’m not sure how to go about it. And I’m not sure Sara will forgive me. I know I have to talk to her before this whole situation gets out of hand and Sara lets it slip to Livia, which would in turn send her right into the arms of her lost love, but I’m chickening out when it comes to talking to Sara. She’s hurt and she’s mad and I know she’s going to yell at me and I’m honestly not ready for that. But it’s about time I man up and confront what I did.

I’ve known for a long time how Sara has felt about me. Mostly I wished she’d have gotten over it by now. It would be easier, and less painful for all of us, if not more for her. But there is a small part of me, a shit part of me, that was fond of the idea of two women being in love with me. I can’t deny the fact that I’ve fantasized about a threesome between the three of us. I’ve even entertained the idea of being with Sara if something were to happen between me and Livia. But that was a worst case scenario kind of thing.

I am in love with Livia and never want to be apart from her. One hundred percent of my heart went into asking her to marry me. I still want to marry her and spend the rest of my life waking up to her every morning.

When I found out Livia once had this epic love story with Jean-Luc it nearly killed me. The way he looks at her, the way she looks back at him, eats me up inside. Punching him the night he arrived, the night he kissed Livia, was tame compared to what I wanted to do, and might have done if I hadn’t been pulled off him. Finding out that Livia could love someone just as much, if not more than me was enough to take the breath from my lungs. She says she wants to be with me, that she won’t leave me for him, but it does little to soothe the jealous monster in me. It’s not enough that he kissed her upon their reunion, but then he kissed her again, fully knowing she had a boyfriend. I hate it. I hate him. I want to punch him again. But what stops me is knowing she didn’t initiate anything with him, has stopped him from doing anything further. What stops me is knowing that I cheated on Livia. There is no other way to describe it besides what it is, that I cheated on her, with her best friend. I hurt them both and there is no way to take that back. I did it because I was hurt, and angry, and dejected, but there
