Parts 37-39

_______________________

In the middle of the kiss, I heard a sweet, feminine voice say, “Hey lovely couple, am I interrupting something?”

I froze. My stomach dropped, and all the nerves I had managed to suppress came rushing back. I reluctantly pulled away from Gabriel and turned to face her.

There she was—Ms. Slippery Thong herself, standing right in front of us.

Even if I wanted to say anything, I couldn’t. Gabriel quickly pulled her in, without letting me go, said hello and kissed the top of her head as she instinctively lowered her head for his kiss. – "My kisses, you whore!" Rushed through my head, while I shyly smiled and Gabriel quickly said “Chrissie, this is Red.”

All sorts of things were going through my head.
How do I even say hello?
Do I put my hand out for her to shake it?
WTF!! I should’ve asked Gabriel what to do before she waltzed ger bubbly ass here.

She made eye contact and then looked at Gabriel and said “Sir, would it be OK if I hug Red?” wtf? She wants to hug me? Aaaarrrrggg!
Gabriel looked at me and calmly asked “Red, would it be OK with you if Christina hugged you?”
What the fuck am I supposed to say? “No, No Thank you”? I sheepishly said “Yes, it would be OK”.
She hugged me... I really don’t know what I was expecting, but her hug felt welcoming, warm… almost loving. I felt an instant connection. Not at all what I thought was going to be like.
And then it occurred to me, “wtf! Did they take hugging classes? Cause this is Red-iculous!”
The hug lingered, but if I am being honest, I did not mind.
I thought this was going to be one of those face-offs at high noon between two pistoleers, but apparently Christina is a hugger.

When the hug broke, she warmly looked in my eyes and with a smile said, “Hi Red, it is so nice to finally meet you. I’ve heard so many good things about you and you’re just as beautiful as he described you.”
I got shy and blushed; this was nothing like what I thought this was going to be like.
I just stammered a “you too”, she smiled and responded “Don’t worry, he mentioned that you are shy. It is OK.”

Gabriel then said “Chrissie, can you please get a table for us?” She responded “Yes, Sir. Anything specifically?” and he replied, “Please make sure they give you one of the round tables close to the tree.” She said “Yes, Sir.” And walked away.

Gabriel then shifted all his attention to me, pressed his forehead to mine again, making intense eye contact and said “Everything will be OK, beautiful. We’re going to get through this together. OK?” and I just nodded.

He then took my hands, stood in front of me and said “How are you feeling? Are you OK?” I responded with a sigh and said, “I am a lot better than I thought I would be, she is nice.” And he responded “She is nice. Are you comfortable?” I replied “yes, Sir” and he said, “That’s my girl, give me a kiss and let’s go inside?”
I was still shocked and whispered “Right here? What if she sees us?” He started laughing and said “Red, we’re not cheating. It is OK, just give me my kiss so we can go inside.” I kissed him and he held me for a minute.
Being held by him, felt especially good this time. I felt so protected.

I think that’s one of the things I really enjoyed about him, he was protective of me. I had never felt protected before, it felt good. It wasn’t just about feeling physically safe, I also felt an emotional protection I’d never experienced before.

We then started to walk towards the café.

When we arrived inside, I saw Christina just standing behind a chair by a round table waiting for us to get there. Gabriel guided me to one of the chairs and pulled the chair for me so I could sit, I did and then he kissed my forehead, then he repeated the same thing for Christina.
It was awkward, but not as bad as I thought it was going to be.

It was surreal, there I was sitting across from this girl whom I saw as a rival. Her flawless, deep brown skin had a radiant glow, making her even more striking as she sat there with her big smile, sparkling brown eyes, and pretty braids... looking very athletic and fit, in her yoga pants and fitted workout shirt. Made me sick! Put in a sweater girl, we can see your nips!

Gabriel broke the silence and asked me how I was feeling and if I was comfortable with everything, I said “Yes, Sir” and then he asked Christina the same thing and she replied in the same way.

Gabriel just sat back and said “Good, I am glad. How is everyone’s day so far?” Christina jumped ahead and said “Sir, may I please take a moment to say something and be honest with you both?” and Gabriel said, “Of course you may.”
Christina took a deep breath and nervously said, “I just want to be honest and say that I am very nervous, and I am so jealous right now.”
Wait what?
This is allowed?
She gets jealous?

Gabriel said “Thank you so much for your honesty and vulnerability. And I am so proud of you for handling it the way you are.” Then he looked at me and said “Red, is there anything you’d like to say?”

I stammered nervously and said “I am nervous too, but I feel a little better knowing I am not the only one… And I don’t know if Gabriel has told you, but I am a bit jealous too.”
We all chuckled a bit and Gabriel said “Thank you so much Red, I especially know how difficult this is for you. So, thank you so much for being brave and strong.

I am hoping that we all see that while this is uncomfortable and difficult, it will all be worth it.”

I jumped in without thinking about it and said, “You’re just happy that you can have your cake and eat it too.” Christina and I started laughing. Her laughter was bubbly and full of joy, with every little bubble of her laughter her boobs jiggled. I thought to myself “I guess it is safe to say that Gabriel is ‘a boob’ man. Are those things even real?” Just saying, I noticed.
Gabriel chuckled and looked at us with playful disappointment and said, “I have never made a secret of that, you two calm down.”

Gabriel then said, “I would also like to take a moment to say that while I am not as nervous as you may be, I am jealous too.” Christina and I looked at each other in confusion and she asked, “jealous of what?”
Gabriel responded “I am jealous of ME! My life is sooo good!” and we all laughed… loudly.

The waiter came along and asked what we wanted. Gabriel ordered tea and two pastries for us all to share, and honestly, I didn’t mind.
Christina on the other hand, playfully pouted like a child and said, “but I wanted my own.” Gabriel said “it is OK Chrissie, if you want more when those are done, we can order more. Is that something you can live with?” Her face lit up and said “Yes, it is!” We all chuckled.

Gabriel then said “Chrissie, tell us about your day, we want to know.” – he then turned to me and said – “Right, Red?” and I said “Yes, we do”.

She started telling us about her day and how she was overwhelmed with some of her client’s situations and that the city just kept adding more to her workload, but overall, it was OK because she enjoyed her work and was helping people.

This obviously triggered my curiosity, but I did not know if it was OK to ask questions.
I figured I would ask if I could ask questions, so I said to Gabriel “Sir, is it OK if I ask questions?” and he said, “Of course it is OK, we’re all in this together.” – he turned to Christina and said – “Right Chrissie?”
She just looked at me and said “Of course, Red! What do you want to know?”

They just opened pandora’s box, I am going to ask questions until they get tired of me.
I asked Christina about her work, and she said that she had just started her career as a therapist and was working for the county, working with people with low resources.

Wow! So grown up!
I was curious about her age, so I asked, and she said while smiling, “I just turned 26, you missed my birthday, but I am still accepting gifts.”
Garbriel stepped in and said “Chrissie! You have to ease her in, you can’t just jump people into the extravaganza that is your birthday. No gifts.”
Christina just smiled and said “Alright, but next year you’re on the hook, deal?” I said “Deal, Chrissie!” hey, why not, right?
Of course, Mr. Gabriel did not let that one slide and said “Look who’s coming out of her shell! Great job, REDiance!”
I just blushed while he and Chrissie had a laugh at my expense, but I was OK. I was getting comfortable.

Gabriel then asked Christina about her class, and she said, “It was good, a lot of fun. Red, you should join me sometime!” while looking at me.

I knew, hugging classes!
“What kind of class?” I asked.

She glanced over at Gabriel and said while laughing, “What? Gabriel hasn’t tried to force that upon you yet?”

Gabriel just looked at her in playful shock, as if saying “how dare you?” and then just laughed. Then, something awesome happened — Christina and I looked at each other and, in unison, said, “We’re going to need you to use your words.” We all laughed.
Apparently, “I’m going to need you to use your words” was something Gabriel said… a lot.

This was such an unexpected turn of events. Since I found out about her existence, I had created an image of her in my head that made her my rival. Yet here I am, laughing with her and enjoying her presence.

Gabriel laughed too and said, “This isn’t the kind of tag-teaming I was hoping for, but it’s a start.”
Chrissie and Gabriel both laughed, but I did not understand the joke, so I said, “What’s so funny?”

Something told me to dig deeper into this joke, but by the time I had made up my mind to find out, Gabrial was already jokingly saying “First of all, I don’t force anything on you, I make strong suggestions backed by carefully articulated arguments.

Red, I did tell you that you would start training martial arts and that is what Chrissie’s class was – she does Brazilian Jiujitsu and Muay Thai a few times a week, in fact she just got out of class before coming here.
I do expect you to start taking classes as well.”

What the hell was this? A cult? And don’t think for a second that you’re going to get away with not answering my question about that joke.
The whole martial arts thing really didn’t bother me, like most people, I’ve always secretly wanted to try it, but did not have the drive to do it. The thought of walking into a room full of strangers and letting them touch me, and possibly hurt me, was just physically and socially overwhelming to me.

I said “You did mention it and I am willing to try it. But why? You want to keep us nice and skinny?” and he said, “Fitness is a good reason, but I just like the peace of mind that comes with knowing that if someone threatens your safety when I am not around, that you at least have a fighting chance.
If something were to happen to you, the last thing we want to be thinking about is ‘we could’ve prevented this’.”

Hmmm… he did make sense. Though looking at Chrissie, I could tell there were definite benefits to this. She was FIT!
Though the thought of stepping onto a mat and getting thrown around by strangers… yeah, that was still terrifying. But if Chrissie could do it, maybe I could too? I will not be out-girlfriended!

I said, “Alright Mr. Gabriel, I will give it a try.” Chrissie jumped up and said “Yay! We can train together! It’ll be fun.” I just smiled.

I just sat there thinking about how this whole thing was not as bad as I thought it was. Chrissie was really nice and so bubbly, perhaps annoyingly so, but not that bad. However, from thinking she is nice, to spending time with her in a class, I may need some convincing.

Our tea and pastries got there, Chrissie was super excited and, honestly, so was I.
Chrissie and I jumped at the pastries while Gabriel just looked at us, smiling and drinking his tea.

There was a moment of silence, but it was not awkward. It kind of felt like Chrissie and I were freely enjoying the sweets while being cared for and protected by Gabriel.
It certainly was… different.

After a few minutes of Chrissie and I eating everything and leaving nothing for Gabriel, I decided to engage Chrissie directly. These people were going to regret making me feel comfortable.
I said “Chrissie, can I ask you another question?” She quickly, and bubblish-ly, replied “Sure, what’s up?”
I said, “Are you really jealous?” I could see Gabriel just silently observing out of the corner of my eye.
Chrissie nervously said, “umm Yes”.
That was baffling to me, why would SHE be jealous? I simply asked, “Why are you jealous?” she took a deep breath and said “Red, have you looked at YOU? Do you own a mirror? You’re stunning.”
If you are thinking that I blushed, then you’ve been reading this story and are getting to know me too well, because I blushed, HARD. I looked down at my empty plate wishing that I could just hide underneath it for a minute. I could not say anything coherent, so I settled for saying “Chrissie, I am shyyyyyy!” and that led Gabriel and Chrissie to start laughing while I tried to find my composure, I am sure I left it underneath the table somewhere.

For the life of me, I could not make eye contact with Chrissie, so I looked at Gabriel, I was more comfortable with him. I still wanted to know “How do you deal with that, the jealousy?”

Chrissie took a deep breath, cleared her throat and said “Ok, ok, ok… I know that my jealousy comes from insecurity. It has nothing to do with Gabriel or with you, so please don’t feel bad.” – I noticed her getting small. I knew that feeling too well – “I understand that all the things I am about to say are a direct result of my desire to move on to a monogamous relationship with someone else. I understand that.
I know because jealousy was not something I felt before I decided to pursue a monogamous relationship.

I love this relationship, and I know that THIS is part of it. There’s just a part of me that thinks that you may be prettier than me, or that Gabriel will prefer you over me.

There’s also the fact that I am looking to find a monogamous partner, so there’s that little voice in my head that says ‘why should he bother’ since I am leaving the relationship, you know?

I also know that it is because I don’t know you that well yet and I guess it just makes me feel afraid, you know?
I am afraid that since you’re going to be spending more time with him, I will be neglected or forgotten.

Consciously, I know that he won’t let that happen, because he loves me and he knows that I love him, but my jealousy is irrational.

I also think you may be the person who will make him go the monogamous route, you know?
I know that he won’t, trust me, I tried for a long time… but the fear is there.”

I interrupted and asked, “You tried to make him monogamous? How did that go?”
Chrissie swiftly, quickly and sarcastically said “Worked out great! We got married and live in the suburbs with 3 kids.” We all chuckled.

Oooh! I did not like the sarcasm. It is good and funny when I do it, but when it is done to me, it lacks… funniness.
I could see battles of the wits between us in our future.

Gabriel jumped in and said “Nobody has tried to convert me with so much vim and vigor as Chrissie has. She was relentless.
Anyway, Chrissie, please continue your thought.”

Chrissie continued, “So, the way I deal with it is that I know they are just thoughts, and they are irrational.
Gabriel has shown me time and time again that he will be there for me, no matter what. So that makes it easier to deal with.

One of the things that I have learned from my, excuse me, OUR Sir is that just because it crosses my mind, it does not make it true, and I don’t have to act on it. They are just thoughts, I can just let them go and focus on what is fact, tried and true.
I know that I shouldn’t treat you, according to my negative thoughts, you know?

On the other hand, I know that it will go away as I get to know you better, because I know you’re a good person.”

Seeing Chrissie so vulnerable made me feel bad about all the nicknames I had given her.
I was also amazed at how in tune she was with her thoughts and emotions, at that moment, I admired her and hoped that at some point, I could be like her.

Gabriel was right, she is a person, just like me and had the same insecurities as me.
I felt connected to her, we were pretty much on the same boat. I wanted to reach across the table and grab her hand, but I could not bring myself to do it. What if she moved her hand away or just shooed me off?

Gabriel reached over to her, grabbed her hand and sympathetically said “Chrissie, you’re doing great. I am so proud of your growth and ability to express your thoughts and feelings.”
Then he reached for my hand, made eye contact and said “Red, I am so proud of you. You are being so brave and strong.”
He then looked at Chrissie and said “Chrissie, would you mind if Red holds your hand?” and Chrissie sheepishly said, “I would like that.” and extended her hand to me, and all three of us held hands for a few seconds. It was almost overwhelmingly intimate, almost. It was also… really good.

Gabriel let go of both our hands and said, “We’re going to be so good together.”
Inside I said to myself, “eeeehhh slow down buddy”, but I knew that was just me being an asshole, because I knew I felt REALLY good at that moment.

I decided to reengage Chrissie and said “Chrissie, why do you say that I am good person? How do you know?” She perked up and said “Because I trust my Sir. If he has chosen to bring you around me, he has already thought about everything and knows enough about you to be OK with this.
I don’t think you realize how protective of us he is.”

I looked at Gabriel and said, “I am starting to see that.”

That moment felt so… irrationally, good.
I mean, everything I had grown up with said “this is abnormal and a horrible idea”, but how could this be wrong?
I will grant you, everyone at the café was probably looking at us and most likely eavesdropping, but I did not care. I was too engulfed in the moment.

I wanted to say something, but I did not know how to word it in a way where it would be understood. Ah fuck it! I am just going to say it.

I said, “Our Sir and his damn cake, right Chrissie?” and we all laughed. Granted, Chrissie and I laughed more than Gabriel, but it was funny.
Well, I laughed, Chrissie jiggled, and Gabriel just looked at me with playful disapproval and laughingly said “Is this going to be a constant thing now? The whole cake thing? Because I did not approve it, and it is not that funny.”
Chrissie and I just looked at each other and said “yeahhh, it is.”

I was feeling good, and I couldn’t deny that I was enjoying Chrissie’s company. She was funny and so nice. No wonder Gabriel liked her.
I was taken aback and remembered that video I had sent to myself and watched so many times about polyamory. Where the three people looked so happy and in love… I thought to myself “wow so this is what it is like… I can see why”.

I noticed that Chrissie kept looking at her watch. I started wondering if they had plans that did not include me. After all, I did crash their date night and who knows what they had planned.
Ugh! That thought came back!
What if he was going to do MY fingernail thing to her?
Was he planning on pulling her pretty braids and saying “things” to her?
FUCK! Why do I do this to myself?
The thought of them, in the park and her big brown eyes almost rolling back, like mine were and him saying “don’t you dare closing your eyes, let me look at them” drove me instantly insane.

When I came to, I realized that Gabriel was looking at me. There’s no way he could read my thoughts, was there? No, no way!
Gabriel then said “Red, are you OK? Anything you’d like to talk about?” I tried to calmly say “No, everything is fine. Why do you ask?”
He took a deep breath and said “Red, it is obvious that something has made you uncomfortable, look at your posture and body language.”
I did not realize that while I was inside my head, I had leaned back, and my arms were tightly crossed over my chest. Gabriel couldn't see it, but my legs were also crossed and tightly intertwined. My body felt tight and tense, almost to the point of pain.

I said “No, Sir, I am fine… I just got a little chilly.” I was hopeful that would be enough to deter his prying, and we could go back to enjoying ourselves. He looked at me and said “Red, remember I expect honesty. If are not honest, we can’t understand and help each other, right?” Sigh… I guess my poker face was not as good as I had hoped.
I nodded with a bit of resignation and he said “Remember what I said to you: ‘No matter what you say to me,

I will be here for you.
I will support you.
I will do my best to understand you.
I will not judge you.
I will not reject you.
I will not abandon you.’”

He paused for a second and without taking his eyes off me said “How about you Chrissie?” without hesitation Christina said “I am here with you and for you, Red.” Her sparkling brown eyes glued to mine as she extended her hands, inviting my hand to rest on them.
Chrissie then said “Sir, is it ok if I get closer to Red?” Gabriel then asked me if it was ok, I just nodded. Chrissie gently let go of my hand and quickly moved her chair close to mine and held me.

I felt comforted and warm, my body loosened up and I just sunk into Chrissie. I was battling inside, it was weird, I had just met Chrissie, but there she was, holding and comforting me, while Gabriel held my hand.

Gabriel then said, “What’s on your mind, beautiful?”

I was overwhelmed with a sense of comfort and safety, while at the same time feeling fear and shame for what I was about to say, or at least what I wanted to say.

I thought about just running away, but I took a deep said “It’s that… I noticed that Chrissie kept looking at her watch and I felt like she was waiting for me to leave so you guys could spend time alone and do what you had planned before I crashed your date night, you know?” – my eyes started getting watery as I continued– “I felt jealous because, you know… I got jealous because you guys would want to do… stuff…” I felt Chrissie’s embrace get slightly tighter around me. Somehow, I know she knew what I felt, maybe even felt what I felt.

Gabriel looked at me and said “I understand beautiful. Before we say anything else, I want to thank you for being so strong and brave to say this, it must’ve taken a great deal of strength. You make me prouder each day.

Would it be OK with you if Chrissie talks about this?
It is OK if you say no, Chrissie won’t mind. Remember, this moment is about you, not about us.”

I could not understand what was so strong or brave about this. If anything, I was showing that I was not strong enough.
I simply mumbled, “I don’t mind if Chrissie talks…”

Chrissie stepped in and said “Red, are you sure? I don’t mind just sitting here and holding you.”
I lifted my head and said “No, it’s ok Chrissie, I want to know what you think and how you would handle it. We’re in this together, right?”

Chrissie took my hand and said “Red, you have no idea how strong you are being right now.
To be able to be this vulnerable with me, it is amazing. Thank you for trusting me at this moment.
It took me months to start opening up to Gabriel… So, thank you for trusting him and allowing me to be here, in this moment.”
I simply looked at her and nodded.

I guess in a way, it was strong because I knew next to nothing about her, and there I was, super exposed. Don’t get me wrong, I did not think I was being strong, I just wanted to know how she would handle it.
I knew I wanted to be part of this relationship, I just did not want to feel this way and maybe she had a magic bean somewhere that would help me feel better.

Chrissie looked at me and said “Red, would you mind telling me how and what you feel?”

I took a deep breath and said “I just feel jealous. I keep thinking about what you guys are going to do as soon as I leave.
At the same time, when you kept looking at your watch, I felt like you were anxious for me to leave, I felt like I am an obstacle that is keeping you from doing what you guys want to do, you know?”

Chrissie replied “Red, I am so sorry if I did anything that made you feel that way, I promise you it was not my intention. I need you to know that you are not, in any way, an obstacle in this relationship.
You are a very important part of it and our Sir has made it super clear to me, and now, meeting you, I understand why… and I agree with him.”

Gabriel stepped in and said “Red, I understand how you came to that conclusion, and I am sorry that it came to that.
I think the reason why you felt that way after Chrissie looked at her watch is simply because you have not gotten to know Chrissie. When you do, you will understand that it is not in her nature to be that way or think about anyone as an obstacle, it is just not who she is, but only time will show you that.

Secondly, another reason you reacted that way is because you don’t know the reason she is looking at the time, so your mind just created a reason; and of course, it created a reason that would be negative thoughts. Our minds tend to do that.

The reason why she keeps looking at the time is because she has a date tonight with one of her monogamous hopefuls and is supposed to leave soon so she has time to get ready and get pretty to go meet her…” – in air quotes – “Monogamous Duuuuuuuuude.”
Chrissie jumped in and laughingly protested “That’s not he talks!”
Gabriel quickly and dryly said “Yes, it is.”
We all laughed, and I felt a rush of relief… but wait a fucking minute! Was there a hint of jealousy in there? Dare I say “insecurity” when he said, “Monogamous Dude”?
Where’s my notebook when I need it, I wanted to talk more about this.

Gabriel continued “I take full responsibility for the misunderstanding, I should’ve told you what was happening or asked Chrissie to clarify it at some point, but this is 100% my failure and I apologize to both of you for that. I know better, but I did not act accordingly. I am sorry.”

Chrissie and I both looked at Gabriel as he apologized for something that, in my opinion, was not his fault. I had made the assumptions. I was the one that worked myself up to a jealous froth and Christina was the one that kept looking at the time… but he was taking responsibility for it??

It took me a second to come up with the courage, but I eventually looked at Gabriel and said, “I am sorry too, I should not have made that assumption.”
Gabriel then said, “You don’t have to apologize to me beautiful, I should’ve handled the situation better and I will do better in the future.
And you don’t need to apologize to Chrissie because you simply don’t know that she is not that type of person.

But to put an end to this, we’re all sorry and we’re all going to be better. Right?”
Chrissie and I looked at him and each other, then said “Right, Sir”.

Gabriel sat back, took a breath and said “And since that we're here: What did we learn from this moment?”
He looked at Chrissie and she said, “We learned that you don’t like my date?” and we started laughing.
Gabriel looked at Chrissie and said, “My job is to support you at everything you do, but I don’t have to be Monogamous Duuuuuuude's biggest fan… so go ahead Chrissie, what did you learn?”

I felt like we were in school, lucky for me, I was good in school.
Chrissie said “I learned that when I am with you two, I should be transparent about what I am doing and my actions should reflect my trust and care for you, both of you.”

Gabriel then said “That’s very well said, Chrissie… I loved how you worded it, thank you.
And you, Red, would you like to say anything?”

He felt like a professor in class, a sexy professor that will discipline me when I mess up, and pull my hair, yeah! Let’s give that a go… focus Red, focus!

I said “I think I learned that my jealousy came from not knowing. As you said, I didn’t know that Chrissie is not that type of person. I didn’t know why she was doing it, and I let my insecurity create assumptions for me.
I am sorry, Chrissie.”

Chrissie grabbed my hand and said “You don’t have to apologize, Red… I understand!”
Gabriel just looked at me wide eyed and said “Thank you, Red… That was perfect… if it was acceptable to give you a standing ovation right now, I would.”
We all chuckled, and he continued “I learned that I need to share as much information as I can with both of you to make sure we don’t have misunderstandings about each other; Included in that, I learned that I have to inform you, Red, that it is OK to ask questions. I know that you did not feel comfortable enough to ask Chrissie why she kept looking at her watch.
If I had told you that you could ask her, we could’ve all avoided this… again, I apologize to the both of you.”

We all smiled and looked at each other, like a happy family. I enjoyed that moment.

While I was just simmering in the moment, I saw Chrissie raising her hand, trying to get the waiter's attention and just asked “Chrissie, is everything alright?” and she said “yeah, everything is OK… Sir and you are out of tea, and I want to make sure you get a fresh cup before I go.”

I was flattered, I think.
Embarrassed, I don’t know.
I think I just felt cared for.
There was a part of me that wanted to compete with Chrissie and felt disappointed because she noticed the empty cup in front of Gabriel, and I didn’t… But I decided to let it go. I was feeling too good to let such a small detail bother me… but I think most of all, I realized that I liked Christina, and she was a person I would like to have in my life… maybe.

Chrissie took a minute to think and said to Gabriel “Sir, can I ask you something here, openly?”
Gabriel said “Of course, gorgeous, what’s on your mind?”
Chrissie took a deep breath and said “Would you mind If I cancel my date and stay here with you two? I am enjoying this a lot more than I will enjoy the date.”

Gabriel took a second and said “Chrissie, we are enjoying you as well and I think I speak for Red and myself when I say that we would love for you to stay… But you promised this gentleman that you would go out with him today and we keep our promises in this family. We do exactly what we say we are going to do, don’t we?”

Chrissie childishly pouted, looked down and said “I know, I know… We keep our promises… I know. But I had to try.”
Gabriel replied, “Of course you did, I wouldn’t have it any other way.”

Chrissie then said “Before I leave. Sir, do you mind if I stay in touch with Red?”
He looked at me and replied, “If Red is OK with that, I prefer that you do. Thank you for being so thoughtful, Chrissie.”
Chrissie then looked at me and said “Pleeease, can we stay in touch?”
I couldn’t help but get a huge smile on my face and said, “I would be happy to be in touch, here is my number.” I gave it to her, and she excitedly said “yay!”

Chrissie then put on her lip gloss, grabbed her stuff and started to leave. She looked at me and said, “Can I have a goodbye hug?”
Her big brown eyes looked so genuine and bright, with her arms extended in my direction, how could I say no? I got up and I hugged her… well, more like I received her hug.

Her hug felt warm, comfortable and there was a surge of connection that I could not understand or explain but I could certainly feel. She kissed my cheek, looked in my eyes and said “Red, it was great to finally meet you, and I can’t wait to spend more time with you.”
Feeling wonderfully vulnerable I said, “Me too.”

After the hug, she said “Don’t think I am not jealous leaving you two here… but whatever you do, take care of OUR Sir and enjoy yourself.”
I just smiled and said, “I will, Chrissie.”

Then, she turned to Gabriel and holy shit! Did I mention that she was a fellow boob girl?
Well, her butt was equally or more impressive!
I needed to get into the whole martial arts thing, NOW… cause not that I was into that sort of thing, but I could definitely appreciate it… wow.

When I was finally able to stop looking at her butt, I saw that she had pressed her forehead against Gabriel's and said “Sir, thank you for your guidance, thank you for allowing me to meet Red, thank you for finding her and bringing her to our lives and thank you for your love. I love you.”
Gabriel simply said “Good girl, I love you too. Please be careful and let me know when you are home safe.”

WOW! That was AWESOME! Holy shit!
How could this be wrong? I am sooo into this!

And then she looked at me, said “Red, look” and planted the most loving, sexiest, tender kiss on Gabriel.
My jaw just dropped, my mouth open and in disbelief thought “My kisses, you slut!”

When their kiss broke, she said to Gabriel “Good luck dealing with that, Sir.”

She sighed, composed herself and then she just walked away…
