Communication is Key

I watch Piya usher Yui towards the kitchen and am a few steps behind them. Both of their firm peach-shaped butts swaying, Piya's a good bit higher than her shorter best friend's. Yui doing everything she can to just move her hungover body while Piya seems to be putting a lot more swing in each step, surely putting on a show for me as she rubs Yui's shoulders before sitting her down then heading over to the oven to fix her friend a dish.

"I'm going to go grab my phone out of your room," I announce to Piya, "do my girls need anything?"

Yui mutters without looking up from her plate, "ibuprofen, like, all of the ibuprofen."

Piya smiles as she sits down next to her friend and begins to brush Yui's wild and knotted birds nest of silky jet black hair with her fingers while Yui eats. "It's in the cabinet in my bathroom, baby."

I head upstairs and find my pants, pulling my phone out of my pocket before dropping my pants again. I see my battery is low but I have a few messages from Holly and Jess excitedly reporting to me exactly how much money they took in on their first night owning the club. Then Holly reminds me that she wants to see me a little bit early before work just to go over something.

A third text, time-stamped from four hours ago is from Aor. It simply reads 'I. HAVE. NEVER. CUM. THAT. HARD!!! NEVER.' She sent it to the group chat.

I respond to her privately to tell her how glad I was she could come out and see me, assuring her I came really hard too.

Almost immediately she responds, "Oh my God! I have something you have to see!"

The entire time I am responding to these messages I'm moving towards Piya's bathroom to grab the Ibuprofen. On the counter in the bathroom, I see a plastic bag half-filled with a familiar white powder sitting next to the sink. "I'm sorry I missed this," I say to myself as I think about what exactly went on without me last night. I put away the Women's Secret Friend and grab a bottle of pills for Yui and head back down to the kitchen.

I hear my girlfriends speaking to each other in Thai as I come down the stairs. Yui's energy seems to have perked up, I have no idea what she is saying but she definitely sounds like she is feeling better. I come by her, brushing her back with my hand as I set the pills in front of her and kissing her forehead, earning an approving look from Piya as I join them at the table.

Yui grabs the bottle and throws back a few pills before chugging a full glass of water, rivulets pouring out the sides of her mouth as she tries to soothe whatever is left of her headache. Her body must be **** for hydration

"So, what'd you two get up to last night?" I ask playfully, causing Piya to blush and Yui to **** on her water.

"Well, we had plans," Piya starts

"But someone took too long at work," Yui interrupts as she wipes her chin, "so we had some quality bestie time together, really caught up on everything."

"Yui showed me she's learned quite a lot from Holly and Jess. It was pretty... exhilarating."

"I bet, I'm sorry I missed it," I say honestly.

"I'm sure we're far from done," Yui answers before quickly stating, "but not now. I'm still not sure I won't die."

"It sounds like you had quite a night yourself, " Piya says knowingly, lovingly. "By the way, I sent Aor a bouquet of flowers and windshield wiper blades on your behalf."

"I love you," I say, it's the only thing I can think of saying, "I love you both so much."

In harmony, Yui and Piya say, "AWWWWWWWWwwww! That's so sweet!"

"Yui, Piya," I start up, my head filled with absolute contentment and the thoughts of what Aor was saying last night. "This is so great, all of us, together. I can't believe how happy I am with this. I just wanted to make sure you both feel the same way."

Yui is quick to answer, "of course." Piya doesn't say anything but I don't need her to, I think she knows I'm asking Yui. Piya just sits back in her chair and looks lovingly at both me and Yui.

"How is your checklist of experiences coming along, love?" I ask Yui, referencing the notes she has on her phone. "Feeling up to me skull fucking you yet?"

The clash of sentiment causes Piya to snicker, while the mental image causes Yui to dramatically swallow.

"I... I don't think that one is on the list anymore, honestly," Yui says, "there is no shortage of other things I want to do, with both of you."

"With other men?" I ask, as softly as I can but admittedly I'm worried about how it came out as I watch Yui's eyes go wide.

There is a heavy silence in the room as the three of us sit there for a moment before I step back in, "Yui, I want you to know we are all in this together. You two have made my life so much better than I ever thought possible and I want to be sure I'm doing the same for you." Looking at both of them, making sincere eye contact to emphasize how much I mean this.

"Nothing has to happen you don't want to have happen but just know I want us to be together and supporting each other's happiness. Whatever that means. It would be hypocritical and wrong of me to deny you the experiences you want to have. I want to be with both of you through whatever life leads us through. Just saying."

Yui looks like she is thinking this over before Piya pipes up with the same kind of calm confidence she seems to almost always have, "I know what I want. I want the three of us to go on a date. I'm officially asking you both out later this week."

"Absolutely," I answer, "I thought you would never ask!"

Yui looks stunned, admittedly its a lot to process with a hangover but when the stun breaks she is over the moon excited, "what'd you have in mind?"

"You'll see," Piya says coyly as she picks up Yui's dishes and takes them to the sink. "Now that that's all settled I'm going back out to the pool to enjoy the rest of this lovely afternoon. Join me?"

"I'll go get a suit from your drawer," Yui says, definitely feeling better.
