Threes a crowd

I walked out of work, my handbag close to my side and smiled. Sebastian’s car was directly outside and I felt my heart flutter. I opened the passenger door and he looked over at me, putting his phone back in his pocket. “Hey” I said quietly, putting my seatbelt on. “How was work?” Sebastian asked me, starting to drive. I looked him over, wearing his usual dusty work tracksuit. “It was okay” was all I said. I had a rubbish day, but Blake was usually the person I spoke to when I needed to off load. “What happened? Tell me” Sebastian’s voice was soft and I jumped when he put his hand on my knee. I shook my head, he didn’t want to hear it. “Ollie, what happened?” His eyes flickered over to me and I smiled. Maybe he did want to hear it. “Talk to me” he said again when I didn’t respond. “I just had a bit of a rubbish day. That's all”. I squeaked out. “Someone died?” Sebastian guessed correctly. Stuff like that never got easier, I had been a nurse for three years and end of life care w

I opened my eyes and it was pitch black. I was facing Blake, his curly hair in his sleeping eyes and I smiled. Kissing his cheek before I turned around. I sat up, Sebastian wasn’t next to me and I got up out of bed, looking out in the hallway. He wasn’t there either and I slowly walked down the stairs, feeling a relief as I saw the living room light on. As I got to the bottom I called out. “Bash”“I’m in the living room.” Came his response and I walked in, Sebastian was sitting on the sofa, playing PlayStation. He had no shirt on and only a pair of boxers. “Why aren’t you sleeping?” I asked him, sitting next to him. “I couldn’t sleep. Why are you up?” He paused his game and turned to me. I shrugged. “I woke up and you weren’t in bed”. I looked into his eyes and they didn’t look okay. “What’s wrong?” I asked him. Sebastian sighed, putting his head back. “I need to talk to you.” He spoke softly and my heart smashed out of my chest. “Okay”. I mumbled out, panic consuming me. “Ol

I had no idea what was going on with Sebastian. He hadn’t been right for a good while but I refused to believe he wanted to end this. He cared about Olivia a lot, fuck we both did and I had to get him back on side. I know Olivia wouldn’t carry on with just one of us and I wasn't messing up my friendship with Sebastian over it. He had been distant but at the same time was doing stuff with Olivia we would never do with any other girlfriends. Even the other night, Sebastian sitting watching a film with a girlfriend? Never happened, usually after the sex he left, it was then up to me to keep her occupied. I never minded, I loved spending time with women and some of the girlfriends we had, had been amazing. I took a deep breath as I knocked on his door. He smiled weakly as he opened it, moving to the side to let me through. “Hey" is all he grumbled. I closed the door behind him and followed him into the living room. “What's up with you?” I asked as he threw himself on the sofa. He shrugg

I smiled as Olivia’s half asleep head hit my shoulder as the three of us watched TV. She worked way too hard and way too much so I gently moved my shoulder to wake her. “Hmmm" she said, not opening her eyes. “Lets go I’ll take you home” I said getting up, I caught Sebastian’s eye and it looked like he wanted to say something but thought better of it. “Yeah I have work tomorrow” Olivia said, standing and stretching her arms out. “Bye Bash" she spoke softly and went to kiss him. Sebastian grabbed her chin and kissed her, his tongue slipping into her mouth. His other hand went to her cheek and I rolled my eyes. Sebastian could never help himself around Olivia, he always acted like he had a point to prove, like she liked him better. I didn’t care and I didn’t care to know if that was the truth. Sex doesn’t solve problems and I wished Sebastian knew that. He might have forgotten what he said and Olivia clearly had too but I haven’t. He wanted out and I wasn’t going to let him get himse

Five years laterI knew it was coming but as I had it in my grasp my hands were shaking, my mouth dry and I was definitely getting a migraine. I took a deep breath as I tore the envelope open and pulled it out. I smiled, it was very much like him.To Olivia plus one.You are invited to witness the wedding of.Blake Castle and Stacey Brown.The 12th of August ceremony starts at two in the afternoon.I grinned down as I looked at the fancy as hell paper, Blake was always slightly a show off and although I was freaking I was happy for him. Blake kept his word and we remained good friends, we had lunch together, he and Stacey had dinner at my house most months. Although it was never discussed and I don’t believe Stacey knew anything about me and Blake's past it was easy to be good friends with Blake. He was that nice. I groaned as I took the other paper out of the envelope, the wedding was far away and Blake and Stacey had provided me with a discount to book the hotel everyone was staying
