135. Coffee time
It had been weeks since she had coffee with the girls. This afternoon, she wanted to give time for Rocco and Rockford to spend time alone, just the two of them. Dee could see that things between the two men were still a bit distant. It was all Rocco, though. Her boyfriend had always been the sweetest guy, the man kept on going back and forth with everything between him and their new third. Rocco always seemed reluctant and too shy to instigate things unless Rockford was giving him instructions. Dee knew it was because Rocco was still not sure about him and Dee, and their new man. Tomorrow it’ll be her turn to spend time with their third.
Dee didn’t realize that being in a triad requires so many extra hours in a day. In her case for recuperation and lots of snuggling time afterwards. The sex between them had been amazing, so amazing that Rockford had been coming over to their place almost every night. And when he didn’t it was because he needed to do his laundry and stuff.
Dee’s friends already knew about her new man. Their group chats had been all about Dee and her men for the last couple of days. This was also why she set up their coffee date. Bree obviously knew her situation from her husband, Gage. Yup, people might say Dee and her boyfriend Rocco are the biggest gossip in the club, but Gage and Jojo were another pair of the second biggest gossip in the club. Okay, they might talk because they need to know what is going on with their employees. Not fun. But still, they talked.
So, because of that, Dee was gathering the girls to meet up at their usual coffee place. Bree, Cassidy, Charlotte, and Mara were already there when Dee arrived ten minutes late because Rockford went home with them last night. And every time he stayed the night, lazy morning sex became a longer affair. With them waking up at almost noon, it makes Dee most definitely late for her coffee date with the girls.
“Well… well, you look vibrant this late afternoon, glowing, I must say.” Cassidy was the first to comment, while Bree and Mara giggled, Charlotte was shaking her head telling the girls that they were acting like a bunch of high school girls.
“Umm… we are,” It was Bree who interjected, “I mean we’re happy for Dee and her men,” she cleared her throat trying to sound more like an adult, but failed when she burst out another fit of giggles.
“Damn woman, all of you are really supporting me on this, aren’t you? So, who wants to throw the first question? I’m not promising that I’ll answer truthfully or I even going to answer, but I will try.”
“How are you not tired?”
It was the first question and Dee had to laugh before answering Charlotte’s question. “Well, I am exhausted, Rockford is just so ugh…” She exaggerated her answer with a visible shudder. “And Rocco has always been tireless, so sometimes I just watch them,” Dee gave her devilish smirk and all the women sighed simultaneously.
“So jealous… oh my gawddd,” Cassidy fanned herself with her hand, overdramatizing Dee’s words while the rest of them giggled.
As Dee talked to the girls and they shared their new coupled life, Dee realized that she wanted what her friends had. She even contemplated ending her career as a stripper. If a stripper is categorized as a career, ugh… she reminded herself to see what other choices are available out there.
Although they gushed about her polyamory relationship, it was all still too new. Anything could happen in the next couple of months. Things could fall apart and Rocco could break up with her. Rockford might decide that it’d be too much for him. So for the time being, ending her career as a stripper was out of the question since Dee didn’t have anything else to fall back into. It was pathetic and she knew it.
Two hours later, Dee realized that she was really lucky to have her men. She just hoped they feel the same way about her. It had been a known fact that she and Rocco had been together for years, yet still, he hadn’t asked her to marry him.
They did talk about it once, but then Rocco was asking about her future plans as in when she would stop dancing and stripping for strangers. Dee didn’t give him any clear answer because she loved performing. She loved dancing and putting smiles on people’s faces.
When it was time to part from her best friends she was a little envious of them. All of her friends would go back to their husbands, their forever guys. Dee had longed to have one of her own, but she kept her feelings buried deep inside. She smiled at her friends and went to Babes to start her shift.
Work used to be an escape for her. She loves to dance, and she loves showing off her voluptuous figure. But now, she’d give it all away for her happily ever after. For someone to want her to be their forever. She loved Rocco, but she was not sure that he wanted her to be his forever. Now, she started falling for Rockford. It was a dangerous feeling and she knows she needs to keep herself in check.
It was bad enough that she was hurting from one man, and now she might double the hurt. She wiped her tears angrily and decided to go for a detour to calm her nerves.
The park has always been a peaceful place for Dee. She fished out her sunglasses from her purse and shielded her teary eyes from people. Dee sat on an empty bench and looked at couples having lazy afternoons in each other’s arms. She cursed silently knowing Dee longed for that too.
She drew a shaky breath and put herself together before she walked towards Babes. Dee was a master performance, she’d put on a good act and disguise her inner feelings perfectly. She was all smiling when she greeted Elvis by the door. Dee was not feeling better even after going to the park, but she was hiding it flawlessly.
The rest of her shift went as usual until it was time to go home. Rockford was not coming home with them, saying he had some chores to finish around his place. The man kissed both of them before they headed back to their place.
“Hey, how’s coffee with the girls?” Rocco asked as they entered their apartment.
“It was fun. They’re totally jealous that I get to have two men in my bed.” Dee let out her fake giggle, and Rocco bought it when he laughed. He can be so oblivious sometimes.
“Oh my god, why would you tell them?”NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.
“I’d never.” She grinned and defended herself. “But apparently Bree heard from her husband. Turns out Gage and Jojo had been talking about us.” She winked and Rocco shook his head looking a bit amused while supporting a cute blush on his cheeks.
Her man looked hot, he was perfect and Dee would do anything to keep him in love with her.
