At night with Grace and Alice.

That night I went to bed in a state I had never been in: happily drunk. A dangerous sensation, that one. In my **** state after a few drinks, I contemplated that this might be the feeling a lot of people look for when they drink without restraint. My joy didn’t come from the ****, though. It came from being satisfied with myself.

Went into the bedroom with Grace and Alice that night. I threw myself back on the bed and let out a sigh of content. Alice sat next to me, close to my head and started petting my head while grinning down at me.

“I love seeing you like this. Had fun?”

“Kind of,” I said, laughing. “I was stressed out until I went on stage. After that I felt relief, then I started to feel the itch to do it again. I don’t mean singing another song there, but… go on stage again sometime, whenever.”

“You’re so weird,” Grace told me, laying on her stomach next to me and resting her head on my arm. “You’re a geek who loves games, an artist who loves music and a gym rat with the body of a god. Those three things don’t usually mix.”

“They don’t?” I asked.

“Or maybe I should say that people don’t normally have time to be good at more than one or two things, but you manage three. It’s impressive.”

Alice nodded. “Yeah. You’re kind of a prodigy, aren’t you?”

I laughed again. “Nah, don’t say that. I like games, but it’s not like I’m actually good. Frey gave me a huge head start when it comes to working out, and even now a lot of what I can do is thanks to her, so I take no credit there beyond having the discipline to keep going. But I’ve been playing music for years now and I’ve been pretty dedicated to it, so I can at least admit I’m good at that. Can’t wait to get to university and find people way, waaay better than me.”

Alice giggled and caressed my cheek with the back of her fingers. “You’re amazing.”

“I’m telling you, don’t compliment me too much or I’ll get complacent.”

“Shut up, accept it once in a while,” Grace said, leaning in and kissing me along the neck.

“We’re proud of you, love,” Alice said, repositioning and leaning down so that her face was right in front of mine. “Keep going so we can continue bragging about how cool our boyfriend is.”

“You sure you want to brag about the 1.70 meter guy you’re dating?” I asked them, grinning.

Alice laughed. “What? Did the encounter with that idiot by the river leave you with a complex?”

“...A little,” I admitted with a light shrug.

“See? You’re weird,” Grace said. “It’s never bothered you before.”

“Well, before I had so many things to worry about that thinking about the ones I couldn’t change was pointless.” I chuckled. “But I suppose if I’m worrying about being short now, it means I really have come a long way.” I looked at Alice with a teasing grin. “I mean, I doubt you ever looked at me back when we didn’t talk at all and thought ‘ yeah, if he was taller I’d totally date him.’”

“Can’t say that thought ever crossed my mind, no.” Alice chuckled, rubbed her nose on mine and kissed me gently on the lips.

As Alice and I made out, Grace continued kissing my neck. I got my arms around the two girls, fondling Alice’s butt and groping Grace’s boob. We went quiet, enjoying each other for a good, long while… until I realized I had completely zoned out.

Alice and I had stopped kissing, my hands were no longer moving and Grace was breathing softly against my neck. I blinked and felt my eyelids heavy as I tried to keep my eyes open, then saw how Alice had totally fallen asleep on top of me.

…How much did we drink?

“Alright girls, we’re all tired. Let’s go to bed,” I said softly.

“Mmm. No, I can go on…” Alice muttered, her eyes still closed as she snuggled against me. “Just… give me a couple minutes to rest my eyes. Then we’ll rock…” she yawned, “...your world.”

Yep, not happening.

The girls muttered complaints as I escaped their grasp, yet didn’t even move to follow me. I realized that it wasn’t just the drinking that got us sleepy, but that the day had been pretty busy. The games, swimming in the river, Grace played padel in the morning…

I helped the girls out of their clothes, and doing it while they were half asleep made me feel pretty weird about it. At least they were helping a bit, lifting their hips, raising their arms… It made helping them put their pajamas on a little easier. A little. I had the slightest suspicion they could’ve done this themselves but were enjoying having me undress and dress them like this.

Oh well.

The next morning, when we woke up… it wasn’t morning. It was Diana’s knocking on the door that woke us up.

“We overslept…” Diana said, rubbing her eyes. Her hair was a disheveled mess. She was wearing only a t-shirt and her panties. “We all did, apparently…”

“Wait, what time is it?” Alice asked, sitting up and rubbing her eyes.

“It’s noon already?”

Grace and I sat up like someone had poked our butts with a needle.

“Noon!?” we asked.

Diana sighed. “Yep. I think we had a little too much fun yesterday. Anyone hungover?”

I rubbed my face. “No, I’m good. Just thirsty.”

“Me too.”

“Same.”

“I’ll bring you some water.”

“We love you,” I told her before she left.

“Noon? I can’t believe it…” Alice said while yawning.

“I haven’t overslept since before Frey came into the picture…” I said, a little stunned.

Grace groaned and shook her head. “Damn, did we really waste our night AND our morning sleeping?”

Alice chuckled. “A little disappointing, yeah, but it’s not the end of the world. Besides… I’m gonna have him all to myself one of these days, so I can let this slide.”

I gave her butt a soft slap as she got out of the bed. “What do you mean ‘let it slide’? You’re the ones who fell asleep first.”

Alice laughed. “Okay, okay. Then I’ll make it up to you.”

Grace followed Alice with her eyes as she walked to the bathroom. “Wait, what do you mean you’ll have him to yourself?”

“Oh, who knows?” Alice sang without looking back.

“Hey, come back here!” Grace jumped out of bed and followed Alice into the bathroom.

I threw myself back on the bed and just closed my eyes for a couple more seconds. My stomach growled.

“We missed breakfast…” I lamented.
