Too Hard To Choose

Chapter Forty-Five- Where is my invite?

(Please check out the author's notes at the end of the chapter before getting mad at me, lol)

Arlo

Alannah left not too long ago. It was a one-night thing. She was lonely after her boyfriend broke up with her, and I was horny. It worked for us both. We had hooked up a while ago before she got with her boyfriend. It was fun, but now I am bored. I have no idea where everyone is. Alison and her girlfriend left about an hour ago. I heard everyone coming in and out, but I was too busy to focus on who and where they were going. The place is too quiet.

I wanted to do something tonight, but I needed to find them before I could. I search for my cell. I try calling Violet first, but it rings out. I groan, trying Parker, but the same thing happens. Why are none of them picking up? I sigh and try Tyson. I don’t know if he is still at work or if he was one of the people who came in earlier.

I try him, and it rings, but there is an answer this time.

“Hey, bro.” he greets.

“Hey, are you still at work? I can’t seem to reach Parker or Violet. I am bored.”

He chuckles, “Sorry, buddy, you are on your own tonight. The three of us have other plans.”

What does that mean? Are the three of them together?

“Are the three of you together?”

“We will be soon,” He answers.

“How, what are you all doing?”

“I am on my way to a hotel to meet Violet and Parker.”

Hotel? Why would they be at a hotel?

“Hotel? Why are you going to a hotel?”

“Because the three of us have plans for tonight. We have booked a room.”

I can’t see his face, but I know he probably has a smirk on his lips.

“Wait, the three of you? Are you all hooking up? Why a hotel when you have an apartment?”

I already know the answer, but I wanted to make sure.

“Yes. It was Violet’s idea. There was enough s*x going on in the apartment with you and whoever she was, along with Alison and her girlfriend.”

“And where is my invite?” I huff.

I know I already did it with her and Parker, but I would happily have joined them.

“You were busy. It is why we all left.” He laughs.

I chuckle, “I should have changed my plans. It was fun the last time.”

“Do you really think she is ready to handle the three of us, Arlo?”

I sigh. He has a point. I don’t think she is quite ready for that yet. I am not saying she won’t ever be, but now isn’t the time.

“No. I guess not. Why are you going to meet them? Weren’t you with them?”

“I had to go to the store to pick a few things up.”

“Oh, okay. You two better be good to her and take care of her, or you will have me to deal with me.” I warn.

I know they will. They always do. I shouldn’t even have said it.

He sighs, “Arlo, you know we will. Are you bothered by this?”

“No. I am not. Have fun. I will see you all whenever you get back.”

I hang up the call and toss my cell aside. I wonder what he had to pick up? How far do they plan on going? Are the two of them going to f**k her at once? That was me who was supposed to do that with Violet and Parker. Why am I so bothered by this? I shouldn’t be. At least I know she is safe with those two and not with some strangers.

Did she walk in when I was with Alannah? Did she see us? Did it bother her? No, why would it? I groan, frustrated at myself. I pick my cell back up and open a text to her. I start to type but change my mind. I don’t want to be that guy. She may get mad at Tyson if she finds out he told me what they planned on doing.

I am sure the guys will tell me all about it. I need to find something to distract myself. I groan and pull my ass from the sofa. I need to clean it because we made a mess. I need to clean myself up, too. Is Alannah free? I could do another couple of rounds. I will text her once I have showered and made some food.

I would rather be at the hotel with them or even somewhere only with Violet. I grab the stuff to scrub the sofa. We really need a new one; there has been a lot of action on this one.

I head for a shower, resting against the wall and close my eyes. My body is tense. The warm water will help with that. I get lost in my thoughts. Is this what jealousy feels like? Am I jealous because I am not invited or because they are with Violet? No, I am not! It isn’t like that. I blame everyone else for this; they have all gotten into my head with accusations and questions. I snap myself out of it and focus on showering.

I have no idea when they will be back. Will they come home tonight, or will they all spend the night together at the hotel? It has been a while since I have had the apartment to myself. I don’t know what to do. I am used to someone usually being around. I finish up in the shower, changing and ordering Chinese food.

I text Alannah as I wait.

Hey, you want to come back over, or I can come to you? I have another few rounds in me x

She may have other plans. If she does, I will find another distraction. A reply comes through a minute later.

Hey, I can’t tonight. I have plans. I will text you tomorrow x



I leave the conversation there. If she texts, she texts; if she doesn’t, it doesn’t matter. It is probably for the best because the person really on my mind right now is not Alannah. It is Violet. It will pass. It is probably because I haven’t been with her much recently. I will put it down to that anyway. There can be no other reason for all of this craziness.
