- CHAPTER 17: Encounter -

After Serenity's agreement to 'share me' with my girlfriend -- technically fiancé, since we'd sort of just jumped straight into the deep end -- the three of us all fell into a short awkward silence, before I cleared my throat and excused myself to take a shower, so we could head to the bank.

Normally, under different circumstances, I might have used the opportunity to jerk one out while I had the chance, to ensure I was level-headed while out in public, but right now I was far from horny.

Instead, I was nervous as fuck.

Scared too, if I was being honest.

Because what if my best friend changed her mind?

I mean, all this just seemed too good to be true, and I felt like at any moment Serenity might slam on the figurative brakes and suggest she couldn't go through with it. But then again, I was almost glad we weren't crossing the line physically first, like we almost did earlier that morning, because it would really hurt to go too far, only for her to then change her mind after we'd fucked.

Or after we'd at least done oral, or something.

So I knew it was better to let her sit on the idea for a while, maybe sleep on it too, before we let it go beyond where we currently were.

However, I also had another problem.

Being this nervous made it difficult to look normal, prompting me to realize I needed to change my mindset and focus on something else. Thankfully, I was able to do it, but it was only through letting the lingering depression to set in, that I managed.

A somberness that came with the fear of being let down.

When I finally got out of the shower, seeing that Gabriella had changed into one of Serenity's black t-shirts, which almost didn't fit her because of how busty my fiancé was, both of them knew something was up. However, when they asked, I just shook my head.

"We ready?" I wondered simply.

They both hesitated before nodding, following me down the stairs as I went to go collect my wallet, phone, and keys, before heading out the door. Similarly, my housemate grabbed her black leather purse and followed after us. Outside, when I opened the driver's door of my silver car to climb in, I was a little surprised when Gabriella offered for Serenity to sit up front with me, only for her to decline and say that she could sit up front instead.

Gabriella hesitated then, before looking at me. "Kai, which would be easier on you?"

That gave Serenity pause, speaking up before I could answer. "Wait, are you worried about him transforming, or something?"

Gabriella nodded. "Yeah, that's part of it. I just want everything to go smoothly, and I'm pretty sure it's a little stressful for him to keep it together when he's around me. Plus, I really don't mind taking the backseat, although I admit I'm not sure if it would help."

I finally spoke up. "If you really don't mind Gabriella, it would probably be a little easier if she sat next to me."

Really, I just kind of wanted my best friend to be at my side, afraid that showing signs that I had preference for Gabriella would mess things up.

My fiancé focused on me, nodding confidently. "It really is fine, Kai," she said, moving to the rear door to climb into the back.

My housemate met my gaze for a second, before giving me a tiny sympathetic smile and following suit, popping open the passenger's side door to climb in.

Once we were all buckled, and I began backing the car up, Serenity glanced back at Gabriella to give her a similar smile, glancing down briefly before turning her head partway.

She then froze solid, looking back and down a second time.

"What is that?" Serenity asked seriously, her deep brown eyes wide.

I was just in the middle of stopping to shift into drive, glancing back myself, realizing that Gabriella had her hands on her knees, a brand-new engagement ring in plain sight on her finger.

Serenity quickly looked back at me before Gabriella could formulate a response.

"Wait, Kai, you already asked her to marry you? You're engaged?"

"Sorry," Gabriella blurted out. "I know it's fast, but I've never been so sure about someone before."

Serenity stared at her in disbelief. "Okay, I get it, but you guys just started dating!"

I took a deep breath, pushing on the gas to begin heading down the driveway. "We can make another trip to the jewelry store," I said quietly. "I'll get you anything you want, Ren."

She gawked at me, putting her hand on my arm. "Wait, stop."

I looked at her in confusion, slowing down about a dozen feet from the road. "What?" I asked seriously.

She took a deep breath, taking her hand back as she glanced forward at the gravel driveway. "Kai..." She sighed, focusing on me, her tone somber. "First of all, you don't need to rush all this. It's okay to take things slower. And second, you can't marry two people Kai."

"I disagree," Gabriella chimed in, causing us both to look back at her, prompting her to elaborate. "I mean, obviously he can't marry two people legally, but what really is marriage? Think about how they did it thousands of years ago. Nowadays you just have to go to the courthouse and sign a piece of paper, but back then they didn't have that." She paused, only to repeat her first question. "So then, what really is marriage?"

I turned forward to think about it, deciding to press on the gas again, while my housemate kept her gaze on me as she considered it.

After a minute, once we were on the road, my best friend finally spoke up. "I guess..." She sighed. "I guess you have a point. Marriage boils down to a lifelong commitment." She glanced back at Gabriella. "And really the reason why the government doesn't allow someone to marry multiple people is for tax reasons, since people could abuse the tax laws that way."

"Oh. I didn't know that was a part of it," Gabriella admitted. "But that's exactly what I'm saying. Honestly, I already feel like I'm married to Kai." She scoffed. "I mean, what's signing a piece of paper going to do? We could have easily done that yesterday too. And it's not going to change how I feel, whether we do or don't. Not to mention, someone could just as easily sign when they didn't really have their heart in it."

Serenity took a deep breath, finally sitting forward in her seat. "Well, I don't think I could wear a ring," she admitted. "I'd get too many questions at work about who the guy was."

I spoke up again. "I could get you something more simple if you want," I offered, sincerely desperate to take that step with her -- to make it feel like this was really going to happen, instead of being afraid she'd change her mind. "And you could wear it on your right hand," I added.

"Or just your middle finger on your left hand," Gabriella said in agreement. "Whatever works best for you."

Serenity sighed heavily. "This is all just so fast. I honestly can't even believe I'm seriously considering it."

"Considering it?" I repeated, my depression obvious in my voice.

Serenity focused on me in surprise, before seeming somber herself. "Kai, it's not that I don't want to. It's just a really big deal. Like, I might lose my job if people found out, even if we technically aren't doing anything illegal. And even if I didn't lose my job, I'd lose all respect from my coworkers. No doubt the guys at work would probably start treating me like a slut." She scowled then, clearly frustrated at the idea. "No doubt I'd get under-the-breath comments wondering why I won't sleep with them if I'm so slutty that I'd sleep with the guy I've been living with, and been taking care of, all this time."

"Isn't that harassment though?" I asked seriously.

She nodded with a frown. "Of course it is. But that won't stop them from doing it and denying it later." She scoffed. "They would never let themselves be overheard. And while I'd like to think that most of the guys I work with are decent, I've seen signs that it might turn out like that if they found out. They'd at least call me a slut for sure."

"You're not a slut," Gabriella said firmly. "And no one has to know," she added. "Besides, it's not like you're going to stop being good friends just because you become more romantically involved. Like, he's still the same person you've lived with all this time. That will always be your relationship, whether you're married or not. And whether it's recognized by the government or not. You're still best friends, and in many ways, I feel like that is more important than every other relationship either of you have."

Serenity shook her head in disbelief, focusing straight ahead. "Gabriella, I really don't understand why you're okay with this. I mean, how are we even supposed to live our lives from now on? Like, are you wanting to move in? And how do we do sleeping arrangements?"

When Gabriella didn't respond right away, my housemate glanced back at her.

My fiancé shrugged. "It's a lot to consider," she agreed. "And honestly, I wouldn't mind moving in. I'll even pay rent if you want. But I'd rather us all be in this together, and figure it out together, instead of making sure it's 'easy enough' before making it official."

Serenity faced forward again, mumbling, "I wouldn't make you pay rent," under her breath. She was then quiet for a few minutes, glancing at me. "I guess let's stop someplace so I can go in and get my ring sized, and then go someplace else so you can pick out a ring."

"Really?" I said hopefully.

She nodded, seeming more confident now, her tone gentle. "Yeah, really. I think my hesitation just comes from making this transition to you going from being a person I can't date, to now being someone I can date. But Gabriella is right. We are first and foremost best friends, romance or not, and there's nothing actually wrong with us being together as adults."

"But what if you don't like what I get?" I wondered, referring to the fact that she implied I would pick something out without her being there. "Are you sure you don't want to at least take pictures or something to give me an idea?"

She shook her head. "I already feel uneasy about the possibility of being seen by someone I know, even if it's unlikely. I'd rather just do it quick." She then abruptly focused on me, her expression apologetic. "And I'll love anything you get me, Kai. Just nothing too flashy. Like, maybe even just go for a simple wedding band."

I pursed my lips as I considered that. "Maybe I could get you something a little nicer, and you could just say you got a family ring cleaned or something."

Serenity was pensive. "Yeah, actually that could work. I could say it was my mom's old ring, and if I'm wearing it on my middle finger, or even my right hand, then I don't think anyone would assume it was an engagement ring." She focused on me again. "I would still prefer it not be too flashy though. Really, I don't mind. Simple is better."

"What about a wedding band that has small diamonds all around it?" I wondered, recalling seeing a few such rings at the store when we got Gabriella's ring.

Serenity thought about it for a second. "Yeah, that could work. I've seen girls wear rings like that on their middle, index fingers, and even thumbs before. And if someone realizes it's a wedding band, then I still have the family heirloom excuse."

"Sounds good," I replied, feeling sincerely relieved now.

"Is this stressing you out?" Serenity asked quietly, sounding a little sad.

I sighed, glancing at her, deciding to be honest. "You potentially changing your mind is stressful. Really stressful."

My best friend gave me a sympathetic look, turning her head toward the road for a few seconds, before focusing on me again. "I really think we should take this slow, Kai. It's a big change." She took a deep breath. "But I won't change my mind. I think we're past that point now. I mean, even if I did change my mind, nothing is going to be the same again. We still kissed." She sighed. "So I don't feel like I even can change my mind at this point."

"Promise?" I whispered.

"Promise," she said more firmly. "I love you, Kai. More than anything." She sighed. "And I guess if I'm being honest, this is what I've been wanting too. I think it's why I decided not to date. Sure, I told myself that I just wanted to focus on making sure your life was stable -- to make sure you had all my attention..." She sighed. "But I think deep down I felt like you were enough for me, even if we always remained just normal friends. I was fine with never being with anyone."

"Me too," I whispered, only to clear my throat. "Well, that was the plan until I met Gabriella, and even then, I wasn't planning on starting anything with her." I sighed. "But she found out my secret, and was okay with it." I glanced back at her. "Not that I'd want someone else," I added, speaking to my fiancé now. "Obviously, you know you're amazing."

Gabriella nodded, giving me a small smile.

I sighed, glancing at Serenity again. "So, just wondering -- and I know this is kind of random -- but does that mean you weren't attracted to me?"

She frowned. "Kai, being attracted to you would have been a big deal, even if our parents were still with us. You are still a lot younger than me, and are only now an adult. So no, I wasn't thinking about you like that. Although..." Her voice trailed off, as she looked up at me with a grimace. "I did buy those pajamas with you in mind, when I got your other birthday presents...even if I felt really horrible afterward..."

"Which pajamas?" Gabriella wondered.

Serenity turned to look at her. "The ones I was letting you wear."

"Oh," she said in surprise, only to look apologetic. "I'm sorry. I would have picked something different if I'd known."

Serenity shook her head. "I wasn't planning on wearing them. And by the sound of it, if I had worn them, then he would have avoided me."

"Yeah, probably," I admitted.

"Why Kai?" she abruptly asked. "Seriously, why keep this from me? Why did you think I would reject you?"

I took a deep breath and let it out slowly. "Honestly? Because you always called me your little angel...and I look like a devil."

"Oh Kai," she whispered, tears abruptly appearing in her chocolate brown eyes. "I'm so sorry, I didn't mean..." Her voice choked up. "Kai, you are my little angel, no matter how you look."

"I fully agree," Gabriella chimed in. "We talked about this, Kai. It's not what you look like, it's what's in your heart."

I took another deep breath and let it out slowly, reaching over to rest my hand on Serenity's forearm. She immediately rested her thin fingers on top of mine.

"I know," I whispered, glancing at Gabriella in the rearview mirror, still speaking to Serenity. "I'm just saying that I was sincerely worried you would reject me if you ever found out." I focused on my best friend. "And I couldn't lose you. I can't lose you."

Serenity nodded, squeezing some tears out of her eyes before sniffling. "I'd never reject you. I love you, no matter how you look, or even if you really are a devil of some kind. I still love you no matter what."

I sighed with a nod. "Thanks," I whispered sincerely.

She let go of my hand then, pulling her arm away as she reached up to wipe her eyes. Likewise, I put my hand back on the steering wheel, not wanting to overdo it on the physical touch right now, though I wasn't at all in danger of turning gray. It was more like, I didn't want Serenity to become uncomfortable with me being too touchy.

Essentially, I was taking her advice to take things slow.

We were all quiet for a few minutes before Gabriella broke the silence.

"So what are we doing at the bank?" she wondered. "I didn't want to be rude, but was kind of curious."

Serenity took a deep breath, answering on my behalf. "Umm, his parents left him something, and he wasn't allowed to withdraw it until he turned eighteen. I'd forgotten all about it, but then randomly remembered this morning."

"Oh." Gabriella paused. "Any idea what it is?"

"Nope," Serenity replied. "Not a clue. Probably not money, but really could be almost anything else."

I frowned at that. "Part of me hopes it's related to my biological parents, just because it would be nice to have an idea of where I came from." I leaned back more into my seat. "But part of me also hopes it's not."

"Why is that?" Serenity asked seriously.

I grimaced, glancing at her from the corner of my eye. "Because I really care about you. I don't want to become too interested in whoever gave me up. Honestly, even if I had an entire family out there, I don't think I'd want anything to do with them. They didn't raise me. They didn't love me." I sighed. "And they weren't there for me. Not when I was younger, when it really counted, and I definitely didn't want to end up seeking them out after our parents passed away, only to get separated from you."

Serenity frowned, only nodding in understanding instead of responding. Because she probably knew that was exactly what would have happened.

If the courts had identified my biological parents, and I ended up living with them instead, then I would have undoubtedly been separated from Serenity, and probably never reconnected with her.

We would have spent the last five years apart, possibly eventually forgetting about each other as we moved on with our new lives, instead of growing closer together.

Thus, she didn't respond.

We were all quiet as I navigated through the city, drawing closer to the specific branch where the safety deposit box was waiting for me.

Gabriella spoke up again as I was pulling on the appropriate street. "You know, I just want to say, that this is really nice."

Serenity looked back at her, while I glanced at her in the rearview mirror, prompting her to elaborate.

"I mean, I don't want to speak too soon, since I know this has all happened really fast. But I'm really happy to be in this relationship with you both."

"Oh," Serenity said in surprise, seeming a little hesitant. "I hadn't really thought of it like that," she admitted quietly.

Gabriella continued. "Well, I just feel like we're all together now, a team of three, ready to tackle whatever life throws at us." She laughed then, though there wasn't much humor in it, her expression dropping. "Honestly, Serenity before I met you, I was getting kind of lonely. Not to the point that I was planning to try looking for someone to date, but I just don't feel like I fit in with most people." She sighed. "Part of the problem is that a lot of the people who want to be friends with me are either shallow, or they eventually get jealous of my appearance, especially if their boyfriends start showing interest, or something. Always something." She smiled then, refocusing on Serenity. "So thanks. For being the perfect friend, and for agreeing to be a part of this."

Serenity nodded slowly, not seeming to know how to respond. She then frowned, her voice quiet. "You know, I haven't really thought much about how this 'sharing' thing is going to work. We should probably discuss that later," she commented, glancing forward to see that I was pulling into the bank parking lot. "Once we're done here," she added.

The bank was a little busy, given that it was a Saturday, though most of the vehicles were waiting in the drive-thru, with only a few actually parked.
