I didn’t know what woke me up. I could hear the traffic noisecoming from outside, but it wasn’t that. I could feel the sunlight on myeyelids, which told me it was morning, but it wasn’t that either. I raised myhead, blinking the sleep out of my eyes, only to see Tye’s chest under me,which I lately used as a pillow. It was a gorgeous, massive chest, and I was inawe of it. Tye was still asleep and deliciously naked apart from his erection thatwas wide awake and throbbing under my thigh. I smiled and lowered my head tokiss his chest when I heard a sound. Or rather, a voice.

“Carter, darling? Are you home?”

Was that Vicky? No way it was Vicky. Did she ever return my key? Icouldn’t remember.

I was trying to get my brain to function when the bedroom dooropened. I looked over my shoulder, only to see Vic standing in the doorway. Shewas wearing a designer blue dress with a golden belt and matching heels,looking like a million bucks. Her eyes slid down my body, every naked inch ofit, starting from my head and all the way down to my bare ass. Then her gazeshifted to Tye, who was equally naked under me.

“Vic,” I muttered, jumping out of bed and reaching for my boxers.I put them on, hurrying after her as she left the bedroom, stumbling slightlyon her way out.

When she turned to look at me, my cheeks heated.

“I c-came back to... talk, bu-but… I ca-can’t believe my eyes.”

I rested my hands on my hips, staring at the floor, not knowingwhat to say.

“Him?” she said, sounding flabbergasted. “You? Have you…? Areyou…?”

Finally, I raised my head and looked at her. “It just happened.”

Her eyes widened comically. “It just happened? It just happenedthat you… you… screwed a man? Or he screwed you…” She buried her face in herhands. “I can’t believe this. This is a nightmare.”

I rubbed my forehead in frustration. “What are you doing here,Vic?”

“I thought we could work things out. I thought…” She paused,looking at me in disbelief. “How…? Why…? I just don’t understand.”

“I fell in love with him,” I said, hoping to shorten the ordeal.“It’s as simple as that.”

She paled.

“With him?” she whispered, aghast. “You love him?”

I nodded. “Yes. I love him.”

She blinked. “Wait… Are you like… like gay or what?”

I haven’t figured it out yet, but I preferred sex with Tye to sexwith women, and Tye was a man, so…

“Yeah… probably.”

At that moment, the bathroom door opened, and Luz walked out, bucknaked except for the toothbrush in his mouth.

“Whassup?” he said, passing by Vic with his impressively long dickswinging between his legs. “I love your belt, girl. Dior?”

“What the hell is going on?” Vic exclaimed, looking at mewide-eyed. “How many naked men do you have in your apartment, you disgustingpervert?”

“It’s not what you think.” I tried to explain. “He’s aneyewitness.”

“To what? Your debauchery?”

“No, to… You know what? Never mind.”

“Oh, when my daddy hears of this,” she said, laughing bitterly.“You will never work in this town again, and the same goes for that blondbackstabber in your bed. Mark my words, Carter. You will regret this. I swearto God.”

“It’s not funny, Tye.”

“Actually, it’s hilarious,” I disagreed, still chuckling afterCarter told me what had happened. I slept through the whole thing, but itseemed that Vicky found out about Carter and me the hard way. Of course, it wasalso when Luz chose to show up naked, because… why not?
