I never really considered myself someone who could be in a serious three-person relationship... Okay, scratch that, I never considered myself someone who could be in a serious relationship, let alone with two other people. My point is that as I begin to come down from the incredible high that was our first time together... I feel more and more out of my depth.

"We're completely missing school, aren't we?" Andi realises, noticing the clock that hangs near her door, but not moving to correct that issue. "I don't think my legs work anymore."

Echo snorts at Andi's comment. "I'm in no hurry... This is... Comfy." She replies, sounding as relaxed as I've ever heard Echo sound. "You know, for the record, I didn't just kiss you to push Andi away." She adds suddenly.

I can't say that I'd thought that much about it, but it's nice that she wants to reassure me, I guess. "Glad to hear it, otherwise I'm gonna have to revoke the sex, back to virginity you go!" I joke. "Don't worry. I like you too."

Echo groans at my sentimentality, but Andi just giggles at our back and forth. For a while longer we just lay there, resting on each other, naked both physically and emotionally... Maybe spiritually? Sure feels like I've died and gone to heaven.

"People are gonna freak out when we tell them about this." Andi sighs. I'm started for a moment before I realise she's talking about us being in a relationship, not the sex part. "Though, I guess my dad probably won't care, he's all... Free love, and stuff." Yeah, he seemed like it.

"Rosie'll be simple, Poppy might take a while to understand the concept... But she'll be happy for us either way." I speculate.

Echo just growls at the thought. "I doubt Ty will even notice, what with being bitten by the love bug and our mother coming home." She thinks aloud. Shit, it'd completely slipped my mind, I never really found out what the outcome was with their argument... Though, I suppose from the wording, it's safe to assume they settled on letting her return.

Andi strokes our girlfriend's hair and kisses her forehead. "It'll be okay, you've got us now, you don't have to worry." She coos softly, which seems to calm the rage inside Echo's mind. These two really do compliment each other... Makes me want to pull my weight, too.

"If you need time away from there or anything, you're always welcome at mine... We could use some commotion since the others moved out." I smile, taking Echo's hand in my own. I half expect her to slap me away, but she just holds onto it... I guess she trusts me now. Gotta make sure I'm worthy of it.

People underestimate how arousing seeing someone get dressed is, but it's always tinged with disappointment, now that I've seen my girls naked, I don't want to see anything else. Alas, we're **** to dress and return to the world... Or at least to my place. See, Echo felt left out that she hadn't met my Mum yet, so I didn't really have a choice but to invite them to dinner.

We enter and move through to the living room. Andi takes the opportunity to use our bathroom, leaving Echo and I to put something on TV... A duty which I am soon stripped of, which doesn't bother me, I'll watch whatever. What's chosen is a schlocky horror film, it's not so much scary as amusing, but that definitely suits us.

Echo decides to overreact to every minor edit and line, which is as cute as it is hilarious. I never realised how fun she can be to be around when she lets her guard down. One particularly loud scream, however, makes me draw the line. "Keep it down, my parents might be having a nap." I chuckle.

"That wasn't me, genius." Echo corrects me as we hear Andi's footsteps coming down the stairs and rushing into the room with us, shutting the door behind her. Her face is almost as pale as Echo's and her expression seems more terrified than the people who've actually been watching a horror film.

Andi stammers for her words. "I... Bathroom. The door was open, and I went in... They... I didn't realise they were..." Echo's hand lunges to cover her own mouth, hiding the gleeful look on her face. It takes me a bit longer to understand what she means, but the dawning realisation hits me like a chill wind.

"Andi... Please tell me you didn't walk in on what I think you walked in on." I plead, not willing to believe we're already in this level of awkward scenario. The footsteps coming down the stairs answer for her, and the door opening reveals my parents, both covered by dressing gowns. Oh, shit...

Mama clears her throat before speaking. "So, we didn't know you were home." She explains, clearly trying to stifle a laugh. Mum hides her face, forcing herself equally as hard to remain straight-faced. Andi looks so embarrassed that she's almost hiding behind me, while Echo looks between us with delight at the nightmare that is occurring. I decide that she shouldn't be the only one not feeling the tension.

"So... Echo, these are my parents." I decide to state, hoping to change the subject.

Please, please change the subject.
