“I don’t understand.” Brady’s head popped out of his room again and that time the rest of his body followed.
“You don’t understand a reward?” That didn’t sound right but I humored him. “I worked very hard at keeping Cash distracted so he wouldn’t worry about his date and hard work should be rewarded. And since I can’t give Bates a blow job at the moment, I’m going to have an early lunch of ice cream.”
Wagging my finger, I frowned at him. “And you’re not going to tattle on me.”
He liked tattling a bit too much.
“No.” Frowning, he sighed like Cash and came out to sit on the couch. He wasn’t little but he was holding one of his stuffed animals so he was sending mixed signals. “I don’t understand you being happy about sending Cash off on a date.”
Oh.
That was confusing?
“I don’t understand what you don’t understand.” I wasn’t trying to be an asshole so I went over and sat down beside him. “Try to explain it to me again but use different words.”
Because just giving me the same ones over and over wouldn’t help…we’d done that song and dance before and it was just frustrating.
“Okay.” Bringing his teddy bear up higher, he thought for a few seconds. “I don’t understand why you’re not worried or jealous or something like that. Your boyfriends went off without you. I don’t like being left, and if Jude went out on a date with someone else, I would be very upset.”
He’d probably toilet paper someone’s car.
“Well, that would be Jude dating a stranger and you not being involved. You like being involved.” Understatement of the year right there, but he nodded and looked less confused. “I was involved because I planned their date and I got to help Bates surprise Cash.”
I wasn’t sure if I was doing a good job of explaining it, but Brady turned and leaned against the side of the couch, resting his chin on his knees. “But you got left.”
He seemed stuck on that part.
“Bates said that we’re like a triangle and the internet said the same thing.” I’d actually found threesome stuff that wasn’t weird or creepy and it’d been educational. “If each side isn’t strong then the whole thing collapses.”
It made so much sense even Brady had to nod, so I kept going.
“My side with Cash is really strong. I know that won’t break. But our sides with Bates are new so we have to work harder at those…like those extra supports they add when building stuff until everything is finished.” We’d seen them building a lot of new stuff across the street so Brady’s head bobbed up and down. “Eventually they’ll be as strong as mine and Cash’s, but we’ve got to be patient and have special time together to build it up.”
Or our building would crash and no one wanted that.
“And according to people on the internet, the two people on a date can do stuff that the third doesn’t like. So I sent Bates and Cash off to the NASA museum over by the coast.” Space was supposed to be exciting, I knew that, but Cash would want to read every single sign and would talk about it all day long.
I loved him a lot but Bates could love him more when it came to museums.
“Oh.” Brady straightened and leaned back. “You can do that? Like if you don’t want to watch a movie but Cash does then Bates could take him and you wouldn’t have to feel guilty?”
“Yeah.” I wasn’t sure why more people didn’t have relationships like it. “And if he wants food that I don’t think sounds good then Bates can take him.”
There weren’t enough blow jobs in the world to make eating raw fish worth it.
“Oh, that’s…” Brady cocked his head. “You should’ve explained that first.”
I thought that’d been obvious.
“There are a lot of benefits. What if I want to suck on a dick but Cash is busy? Well, there’s always a spare lying around now.” I shrugged as Brady’s mouth fell open. “I know. And there’s always someone to give me attention or to do stuff with or to cuddle. There are even more people around to divide chores.”
There were endless benefits and it looked like Brady hadn’t thought of any of them.
Well, it seemed like I’d figured out something else to do besides studying…educating Brady.
Chapter 8
Cashel
“Do I want to know why your phone is exploding or are we just going to ignore it?” Bates was trying not to laugh, but his grin made it clear he was finding the whole thing funny.
“Ignore it…in one second.” Shooting a quick text to tell Gareth that Brady was driving me insane, I quickly put it in a private mode where only Gareth’s messages would come through. He knew better than to drive me nuts by sending me a thousand texts in a row.
