Click hereWithout asking, Alex opened a bottle of wine and poured it into four glasses. Making a lame toast, he put everyone at ease. He knew enough to see we were going to be spending plenty of time together as family and friends.
*****
Alex and Morgan stayed the day and into the evening.
Everyone had to work the next day and, for Alex and Morgan, it would be their first day back since their wedding, so staying over probably wasn't the best option. But Haley did stay.
I wasn't counting, but we were closing in on the twentieth night of sleeping together, and tonight, my lover wasn't taking no for an answer. She wanted to make love in the shower. A shower I had once deemed to be cursed. But it was what Haley wanted, so shower sex it would be.
*****
Surrounded by darkness, Haley cuddled up to me, using my arms as a safety harness.
"Are you okay with everything that's happening?" she asked, breaking the silence.
"I am."
"What if I wanted to stay longer?"
"I don't ever remember asking you to leave."
"Are we a couple?"
"We're a couple of somethings."
"Are you ever planning on telling me you love me, mister?"
"Is it something you want me to tell you?"
Her elbow caught me in the ribcage.
"I'm being serious."
"So am I." My arms tightened around her as I gave the back of her neck a light kiss. "Haley, for the last month, I've never felt so alone as the times when I wake up and you aren't beside me."
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"It means, I love you."

We weren't perfect.
In fact, we might be the furthest thing from perfection there is. But what we have together seems to work.
It was a fresh start for both of us. It was what we needed. Something and someone willing to accept what your past entailed and is not embarrassed by it. Someone that would help you overcome your downfalls and shortcomings in life. A friend and lover who would help you move on from them. Perhaps motivate you to be a better person. Not for them, but for yourself.
Although Haley never asked me to, I listed my condo. Like she had told me months before, it was a hot market, and it sold in two days for well over the asking price.
After sixteen viewings of similar dwellings, we found 'the one'. It was different, but it was in the same area we both loved. When the offer we made was accepted, we had picked our new place. A place we would call home.
It would be a place for us to start our new lives.

Anonymous6 days agoDidn't like Haley at all - I would have run, not walked, from her. Way too manipulative and controlling. Even with sex, everything is her way, and she's a big tease.
Also, the very last part, where Haley claims that Morgan knew about all of Lauren's infidelities while she was with m/c, but Morgan never metions it to Alex??? Not too likely. But she's a real piece of work, too. Good riddance to both sisters! And throw in Lauren, and you've got 3 really messed up women characters, where none of them are likable.
Anonymous8 days agoLoved it, belongs in an actual library. But we need a part two. Marriage, kids, more Lauren drama
Anonymous15 days agoGreat story but Morgan is a bitch. Wouldn’t have anything to do with her. If I was Alex I would be having a very difficult time not kicking Morgan to the curb for treating his best friend that way! LM
Anonymousabout 1 month agoReally enjoyed this— definitely some laugh out loud moments. Haley’s transition from batshit crazy to vulnerable to probably going to be ok was well done. Hopefully Morgan will do some reflecting on past choices, but Tyler and Haley are going to be ok anyway.
(Does the author follow soccer? I did a double take when I read Alex and Morgan!)
Anonymous2 months agoI love Haley, she's a pink diamond that has many rough edges, but hides the biggest reward. I'm meh on Tyler, the first chapter doesn't paint him good. I'm bigger meh on Alex cause he's a simp that ignores how his bitch of a wife treats his friend and her sister. And I'm fuck-that-bitch on Morgan and Lauren, they are the same.
I originally started reading the story with chapter 2 and finished it, then read chapter one and realized that Tyler was some emo pussy simp. Moved in with that blond bitch AFTER FIRST DATE (wtf?! is he an idiot?), she leaves him after a couple of weeks (big surprise lmao) and that gives him a complete meltdown, OD, therapy and PTSD???! DAFUQ?! Hell, the way she left him wasn't even that catty, more indifferent (though she made up for that with her later appearances).
Morgan and Lauren can marry each other, since they value the other above everyone else, xcept themselves. Morgan can eat shit and die for how she treats her younger sister and will sooner believe a "friend" than her own blood. Lauren is a twotiming two faced hypocrite who will fuck around, but will not tolerate being the one betrayed.
Also, fuck friends who will fuck in your guestroom on the other side of the wall preventing you, the host, from being able to sleep. Inconsiderate asshole. They have their own home and hotel rooms for that. Not gonna wash cum-stained sheets after other people, not even friends.
Through all the story Haley was the only person about whom my opinion never got worse, even after second and third read. She's lovely and her fake craziness which she used to hide her true feelings was adorable and sometimes entertaining. In the end she turns out she's the most well adjusted and normal of the entire group, lmao.
Anonymous3 months agoAbsolutely loved the story. Your ability to bring the characters to life is a true gift. The roman e between crazy and psycho was fun and erotic. Some complain about Morgan and her loyalties, I would say you had her controlled by the mystery that was Lauren.
Thank you for sharing your talent.

Anonymous4 months agoGreat story except for Morgan’s actions or lack there of. Morgan’s lack of doing anything after how her sister was treated isn’t compatible with how she’s presented everywhere else in the story. Just doesn’t flow. Bottom line is that we see why Morgan and Lauren were such good friends. Two peas out of the same pod. I feel sorry for her husband. LM
Magic_Cap4 months agoWell, I tend to have an opinion somewhere between @Purplefiz and @AspernEssling : Even if the story has the weaknesses pointed out by @AspernEssling, the plot is nevertheless coherent and excellently told.
In addition, the various characters are perfectly (yes !) worked out in all their (human) strengths and weaknesses and described very sensitively. It's easy to empathize with the characters and their respective feelings, and the descriptions are - unlike in "Speed Dating", for example! - are absolutely credible without exception - chapeau!
This is actually one of @Frankenstein1962's strengths, for which I appreciate him and his work so much.
That's why I'm giving this story 5/5 stars despite the limitations mentioned! 👍
AspernEssling7 months ago"I hugged your grandma too, and you don't see us hooking up, do you?" That's a great line.
This story has so many good elements, and so many good characters, but Morgan is a problem. It was only a minor irritant at first, but I wondered why she would invite Lauren to be her maid of honor if Tyler was going to be the best man. And Alex was okay with that? Then there was Lauren cheating with Haley's husband: did Morgan not know? Did she not know that Lauren was cheating on Tyler? Unfortunately, these little plot details became a gaping hole by the end. She did know. Morgan repeatedly chose Lauren over her own sister, and over her fiance's best (damaged) friend. The resolution at the end was too little, too late. What she did was unforgivable. A continued relationship between the four of them makes no sense.
