Triple Threat
things can’t happen.”
    I got up and put my arms around him. I was starting to feel some confidence. “Maybe they can.”
    He looked down at me. “Why would you say that?”
    “Because we can make it happen.”
    He closed his eyes for a second then looked at me again. His mouth opened but no words came out. Then he put his arms around me too, before leaning down and kissing my lips.
    I was so glad he did it. I kissed him back, and soon we were kissing over and over. Our breathing got faster, and we ran our hands over each other. I pulled him towards the bed. Then I let him go as I lay down.
    Giovanni took a deep breath then got on top of me. We started kissing again while his rock-solid dick was pressed against my pelvis. I slid my hands into the back of his pajama bottom and kept them there. He ran one hand through my hair and the other he put under my top.
    “I never needed someone this much before,” he whispered.
    When he had just started exploring my bare breast, his phone on the nightstand started ringing. “Just ignore it. I want you. Please.”
    He pulled away and sighed. “It could be my mom. Maybe she needs me.” Then he got to his knees and grabbed the phone. His eyes closed and I knew he was annoyed. “Yeah,” he answered. “She’s fine… Chad, really she was OK… I didn’t stay long… I know you do… OK, I’ll see you later.” Then he got up off of the bed. “I can’t do this to him.”
    “Do what?” I sat up.
    He walked to his bag on the floor and picked it up. “You belong with him. This isn’t right. I can’t just have sex with you like this. It has to mean something… and you’re with him.”
    “No, I’m not!” I almost shouted as he left the room.
    I felt like crying. I thought I finally had Giovanni where I wanted him, but then Chad went and spoiled it. What did Chad say to him?
    By the time Giovanni was back in my room, I was crying. I couldn’t help it. I finally started to open up to Giovanni and it fell apart. He was leaving.
    The bed moved and soon after I felt a hand wiping away my tears. “I didn’t mean to make you cry. I’m sorry I started kissing you. I just can’t do this. I care too much about you to ruin our friendship this way. I know you and Chad are more than friends. I get it. It’s OK. I won’t stand in his way.”
    “But…”
    He put his finger on my lips. “I can’t hurt him this way. He was so angry at himself for not staying with you last night. If he knew I was in your apartment all night, he’d probably wanna hit me. And if he knew what we were just doing, he’d kill me. Please don’t feel bad. I… I gotta go. I wish things were different.” Then he kissed me again and left.
    I blew it. I should have kept my big mouth shut. I knew telling him how I felt was the wrong thing. Everything was a mess. How am I going to look at him tonight? We had another gig and I had to see him.
    Almost an hour later, Chad called again. “Baby, you’re crying. What happened?”
    “I’m fine.” I had been in the kitchen getting some water and trying to stop crying.
    “What’s wrong? I know you’re lying.”
    I couldn’t tell him the truth. It would hurt him too much. “Nothing,” I sniffled quietly. “I’m just watching a sad movie.”
    “Baby, are you sure? It sounds like more.”
    “Chad, please.”
    “When did Giovanni leave?”
    I took a shaky breath, feeling a new wave of tears about to start. “I gotta go.” Then I closed my phone.
    I ran to my room and fell on my bed, face down, as more tears started to fall. I wished I was able to convince Giovanni that Chad and I were only friends. But then I realized we were more. We had become lovers, too. I didn’t know it was obvious.
    Then I closed my eyes and cried even harder. I didn’t want to be without Giovanni. I wanted to be with him all the time. I was so angry that I ruined all my progress by… By what? What did I do wrong? I wasn’t sure. Maybe I was too aggressive or he just
