“Well, only during her breakdown. I mean, I don’t see Natalie when she’s checking us all out like we are a snack.” I smirked, hoping to break this tension.

Aiden chuckled while Callum shook his head while he said, “I really hope she doesn’t remind you of your sister because that would be fucking weird dude.”

“I am really jealous, though. You get her to yourself for an entire weekend.” We all sat back down at the table.

“I don’t think it’s going to be like that.” Callum looked unsure of himself. “It’s like I can’t get a good read on her and then I feel guilty, like her dead husband is watching her.”

“That’s creepy man. I get it though. Sometimes I think this is a good idea and other times I think it’s a horrible idea,” Aiden said, taking a sip of his beer.

“I made out with her last night or well, I think it was this morning,” I felt sheepish admitting it. Something rare for me to feel.

“Well shit, did she kiss you back?” Aiden looked a little surprised.

“Yeah, with maybe a little grinding and I got to second base?” I felt like an idiot telling them this.

“Second base?” Aiden asked looking confused.

“Yeah, I touched her…”

Aiden interrupted me. “I know what second base is,” he snapped at me. “I’m just confused how the hell you managed to get her to make out with you. Did you fake getting drugged to get into her pants?”

I chuckled. “I’m not that desperate but for Jane, I might just sacrifice going through it again.”

“She didn’t freak out?” Callum looked suspicious.

“Well, she did stop us. She said she felt overwhelmed, but I didn’t feel like she was freaking out.” I shrugged.

“Jesus Christ. We are gossiping about her like we are schoolgirls. What has she done to us?” Aiden sounded upset, but his face held some mirth.

“At this point I could care less, but I’m enjoy having her here and I think we should really talk about this foursome with her,” I finally said what I’ve been thinking for the last week.

“Dude, we don’t even know if she’s even thought about all of us that way. You know this isn’t a typical relationship, but I think Callum should test the waters this weekend.” Aiden rubbed his beard.

“Me?” Callum looked scared, and I laughed.

“Well, you’re going to be with her all weekend. I’m sure you can figure out a way to put it out there.” I knew he probably was thinking we were crazy. Aiden was our best bet at this working.

Callum looked at me and then at Aiden. “I think you guys forget, I just do sex; emotions and figuring shit out like that isn’t me.”

“We know, but I feel you guys might have something that might make her more willing.” Aiden looked deep in thought, but chuckled. “I think we are thinking about this way too much. We should let this happen, but I think if the opportunity arises, maybe mention sharing.”

“I hate you guys, but I think I like her enough that I’ll see what I can do.” Callum scowled, but it wasn’t as harsh as usual.

“I think we all like her enough that this might work,” I said, thinking that this was a first for us. We’d never agreed about a girl before. I guess it’s about damn time.
