More Touching Base

“It’s because if she jumps right into a relationship with you she won’t have time to properly grieve what she had with JC and she’ll carry shit over,” Cassidy explained to me quickly. She and Cattie were going to have a longer conversation with Terra since she’d gotten home, without me. “And she’s not ‘moving in’ because she might actually need time to live by herself for a bit once she figures out what she wants next.”

It made sense, and Cassidy made sure I understood before she’d given me a kiss and followed Cattie up to the bedroom where they could both talk to Terra some more without me accidentally listening in.

That left me to finish the cookie baking, which wasn’t so bad.

I was spared from being alone with my thoughts, though, by another phone call.

“Hey, Sugar,” I answered. “You get home OK?”

“Mmm, it’s so good to hear your voice, Robbie,” Becca groaned happily. “Yes, I’m home. Wanda is home too, and Heels is staying with her tonight since Wanda wanted someone to make sure she didn’t just start breaking shit. I think she’s going through the stages of grief in a weird order, but she’s hit Angry.”

“Fuck,” I grunted. “She-?”

“She loves you, wants you to know that, and knows you love her,” Becca headed me off. “But she wants to keep radio silent with you for now until it’s done.”

“OK,” I said, shaking my head as I leaned back against the counter. “How are you, then? Feeling better now that the trip is over?”

“Stress levels are definitely lower now, but not gone,” Becca said and I could hear the smile on her lips. “You know how it is.”

“I do,” I chuckled. Getting an event done didn’t mean the work was done, there was always cleanup stuff to handle. Not to mention how stressful things were right up at the end with everything else that had been going on. “Tell me where you are, what you’re doing. I want to picture you in my mind, gorgeous.”

She laughed warmly. “Do you want the truth, or something sexy?”

“The truth,” I chuckled.

“I’m naked in the tub, soaking in warm water and touching myself imagining that you’re in here with me,” she said. “Massaging me all over, kissing my skin, holding me tighter and tighter…”

“That's not the sexy version?” I asked.

She snickered and I could hear her moving around a bit. “I just wanted to give you that mental image,” she said. “No, I’m laying on my couch in the same clothes I travelled in all day, missing my panties since I think I forgot them in your truck, and I haven’t even unpacked my bags. The only thing I’ve done since walking in the door is make myself a cup of tea.”

“So tea, lay down, and call me?” I asked.

“Wanted to hear your voice,” she said. “Wanted to hear my boyfriend’s voice.” She laughed at that. “God, you have no idea how my friends who weren’t on the trip are going to react to the news I have a boyfriend, Tiger.”

“Good or bad?” I asked.

“Ecstatic,” she said. “Especially when I describe you. Then worried when I tell them it’s a poly relationship because they’ll be like ‘What the fuck, talk about 0-60 in five seconds!?’ and I’ll have to explain it all ad nauseum until they get to meet you or something.”

“I can’t wait,” I promised her.

“So how many times have you fucked those two lucky bitches who are with you?” she asked without a tinge of actual malice or jealousy.

I had to clear my throat at that question. “Are we being that open?” I asked. “I mean, I know all of you kind of knew everything that was going on as it happened on the trip, but is that the goal?”

“I’d like it to be,” Becca said. “I know it’s… Well, I don’t know if it’s weird or not for a poly relationship, but I never felt negative about things on the trip and I think it sort of helped being able to celebrate things for the other girls a bit? So unless you think they wouldn’t want to…”

“Cass and Cattie?” I chuckled.

She snorted. “Fair, they definitely wouldn’t mind.”

I finished the baking, swapping out trays in the oven, as I told Becca about our trip home, and the ‘tour.’ By the time I was finished, she was breathing heavily in the phone and I teased her about actually touching herself now, and she’d laughed as well. Then I told her about Terra’s call, and she immediately wanted to call the other blonde but I assured her Cass and Cattie were working on the phone with her.

I was almost immediately proven wrong by my fiancee and my other girlfriend coming downstairs, no longer on the phone, and I put Becca on speaker and pretty much lost possession of my phone as the three of them started talking. That left me with the job of cleaning up the baking and putting away the cookies (after stuffing my face with a couple).

Before I could go looking for them Cattie was coming back to find me, holding my phone as it vibrated in her hand with a new incoming call.

“It’s Ami,” she said as she slipped into my arms and gave me a kiss on the cheek. “I think this might be your nightly routine for the next while, by the way. I know I’ll want to call you every night.”

“Awkward as fuck, but worth it,” I said, giving her a little kiss back. She gave me my phone and I answered it.
