24) Dinner For Three                            23) Insecurities          

 

            Give me delight. Give me tonight.
            You may not see me falling but lend me your hand.
            Touch me for a moment and you will understand
            the language of our heartbeats as they pound in strange delight.
            Knowing the words are coming for you now give me tonight.


                                                                                                Malcolm Mohil
                                                                                                "Tonight"


            Cami arrived at their house, bringing two bottles of merlot.
            "One's for me and the other's for Becky!" she teased.
            Becky and Cami hit it off from the start, confirming Malcolm's suspicion. He felt so lucky to be with two people he felt tremendous love for. They all felt open, as if they were great friends.
            They drank their wine, listened to some lively music and talked about their dreams and beliefs. The girls found out they had mutual friends, allowing them to feel closer. They also felt a sexual attraction for one another, occasionally flirting with each other. Malcolm picked up on this and joined in the fun.
            They ate dinner, talked and decided to play the mind reading game. This time, two people would know while the other person drew. They rotated, giving each of them one chance to draw and two times to know.
            They must have had a good connection between them because each got at least one drawing right per round. Cami got three right in one round for a perfect score. Both Malcolm and Becky were in awe with her.
            "She's pretty cool, Malcolm!" Becky whispered in his ear. She was being fresh with him, arousing him, but also making him feeling uncomfortable since Cami was sitting in front of them.

            Cami was aware of what was going on and did her best to encourage it. She was now flirting with Becky and Malcolm. Becky was able to flirt back, but Malcolm kept his distance. He didn't mind kissing Cami alone, but he didn't want to make Becky uncomfortable, even by touching Cami.

            Becky went into the kitchen to bring out some ice cream. She motioned Malcolm to follow. She grabbed him when they were out of site and gave him a passionate kiss.

            "I like her," Becky said. "I can see why you love her, too. How come you don't touch her in front of me?"

            "I don't want you to get jealous."

            "I think you should touch her. I want to see if I get jealous. If I do, I'll deal. Besides, I'd rather have you touching her in front of me than alone, I think. You don't have to, but if you want to, I'm giving you permission," she said, giving him a sweet kiss on the lips.

            "Are you sure? Tell me if it bothers you, OK?"

            "Don't worry, I will," she lied.

            They went back into the living room to find Cami sitting on the couch. Becky gave her a bowl of ice cream and sat next to her on the couch. Malcolm sat next to Becky, putting his arm on her leg.

            They talked a bit more while enjoying their peanut butter and chocolate delight. After eating, Becky began to play with Cami's hair.

            "I remember being in grade school, doing my friends' hair. I miss those days," Becky said.

            "I'd love it if you did mine," Cami responded.

            "What do you want?"

            "How about pig tails?" Malcolm said. "I think they're cute.”

            "Me, too," Cami said.

            "OK. Pig tails, coming up."

            Cami sat on the floor in front of Becky, resting her left hand on Malcolm's foot and her right hand on Becky's foot. He wanted so much to help with her hair. Becky looked at him and said, "Do you want to do that side?"

            Malcolm smiled and began to play with Cami's hair. He wasn't sure what he was doing, but he enjoyed playing with her hair more than finishing the pigtail, so he took his time. Cami was in Heaven.

            When they finished, she got up to show off her new hairdo. She danced around the room, letting the pigtails fly up and down. Every one was cheerful.

            "OK! My turn," Cami spoke. "Can I do your hair now, Becky?"

            "Absolutely!"

            Becky got up. Cami sat next to Malcolm, pressing her side right against his. He put his arm on her leg. Becky felt a twinge of jealousy, but let it slide away. She gave Malcolm a kiss and sat down in front of Cami, resting her left hand on Malcolm's foot and her right hand on Cami's foot. Malcolm was in Heaven.

            Malcolm and Cami braided Becky's hair, caressing her scalp along the way. When they finished, Becky paraded around the room. Cami got up to join her. They danced together, prancing around Malcolm. They took his hands and pulled him off the couch so he could boogie woogie with them.

            They danced for a while and drank more wine. Becky brought all three of them together for a slow dance. They all felt love grow and flow inside. They all were in Heaven.

            When the song ended, they hugged each other. Becky gave them each a kiss on the cheek. Cami followed, as did Malcolm. They moved to the couch to sit in a dog pile, bodies sprawled over each other. They all felt very natural this blissful love.
