Kate fell asleep after her orgasm and Aiden lay beside her. Although, sometime in the middle of the night he got up and left, not without dropping a soft kiss on Kate’s forehead. He knew that this isn’t Kate’s place and his presence might be discomforting her friend. As a result, he decided to drive home.
His drive home was filled with joy…that was until he remembered the rivulet of tears that splashed on Kate’s face when they were together.
Why would she cry? Aiden’s face was crestfallen when his mind rattled that Kate didn’t trust him enough to confide in him.
Whatever it was that made her cry, it must be something strong. Something that burrowed so deep into her bones.
He can’t make guesses. He can only hope that maybe someday, Kate would trust him enough to share her bitter truth with him.
When he arrived at his apartment, Aiden gladly went to sleep, drowsing like a new born baby.

Loud snores filled the very air that filtered in and out of the small living room of Angela’s apartment. She snuggled on the couch with blanket draped over her, arms tangled together.
Kate took cognizance of the loud, nerve-grating snores and clasped her hands over her eyes to quiet it.
Ineffective, she strode over from the doorway to Angela’s side, then. She clobbered her bicep a little. Hard enough to wake Angela but not strong enough to leave a sting.
Angela muttered words of protest like a toddler whose parent wanted to wake up so he could prepare for school. She tossed on the couch, aiming to find a better position so she could continue.
Unfortunately, her attempts failed as Angela fell with thump on the hardwood floor.
Angry sighs and hisses tore from her lips and she snapped.
“Kate, the heck did you just do?” She pulled her lids open and bashed her tired eyes at Kate who loomed over her, laughing uncontrollably.
Kate fell on the floor beside her friend, still oozing off laughter as Angela rubbed her hurting forehead.
“Hell, you pushed me.” Angela chirped again, her voice tangled and coarse from her all night snores.
“I swear to the heaven and the earth, Sophia. I didn’t push you. You were snoring like a buffoon.” Kate ground out in between gales of laughter.
A long sigh, then Angela let out. “At least, I’m better than the one screaming ‘there, oh yes. Fuck me that way. I love it. Oh, Aiden….hell…what are you doing to me.’”
A blush crept to Kate’s cheeks as Angela parroted her bed words just precisely.
“So, you were eavesdropping?” She chirped accusingly.
Angela wriggled her shoulders in a shrug. “Hell, why would I?” She yawned long and loud, making Kate toss her head back.
Right after Angela yawned, Kate followed , hers louder.
“I’m too innocent to eavesdrop on sinners of Sin city. Sinners of Brazzers.” Angela blurted, mirth intended.
Okay, that got Kate brushing into bouts of laughter.
“Seriously, Angela!! You’re damn shameless!” Kate took at swipe at Angela’s arm before surging to her feet.
She paced across the room and into the kitchen where she rinsed a mug and helped herself with Espresso.
Then Angela emerged to her feet as well, bundled the blanket together before walking towards the kitchen.
She helped herself with Espresso as well and they sat on the stool nestled against the Island.
“How was the sex? Hot…from the looks of it.” Angela spewed.
“You already answered your question.” Kate chuckled as she spoke.
“Wow…Kate. Those two guys are fucking into you. No cap!” She saluted Kate, both giggled.
Indeed, Angela never thought it possible at all that the sex gods could nurse feelings for a woman. Well, too bad, they nursed feelings for the same woman.
It’s good really, because Kate has a thing for them. Equal amount of love. Nothing begs to differ.
She gazed at her friend and rubbed her arms. “One side, I’d say you’re lucky, Kate. But on their side, I wonder how they’ll take it. Because they are both wooing you individually. Can they share you even if that’s what you want?”
Kate practically sighed, her mug hanging in the air. The air that clouded them filled with thoughts.
Truthfully, Kate doesn’t know what to answer to that at all. She just shrugged.
To clear the tension in the air, Angela changed the topic with her own story.
The way she clasped Kate’s hand made her eyes widen.
Angela thinned her lips, putting effort to douse her grin but it was impossible.
“He proposed, Kate.”
For a moment there, Kate was lost, wondering who the ‘he’ was until a flicker of realization dawned.
Kate took a loud gasp, hands flying against her mouth and eyes in utter dilation. “Are you fucking…kidding my ass now, huh?”
Earning a no from Angela, she gripped her friend’s arms and blurted. “Give me the full gist. Leave no single detail out!”
They both giggled as Kate settled deeper on the stool, ears puckered to hear the whole story.
Then, Angela went into details on how Joe approached her at Brazzers down to when he proposed to date him at the restaurant.
Oh…oh….that had Kate giddy with excitement for her friend.
At least, Angela had given love a second chance. Who knows, it might be her turn soon.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Hours later, both Angela and Kate arrived at Brazzers. Their bodies fully clad against the whooping Christmas weather.
Brazzers is buzzing with crowd, the pornstars patrolling around, jackets covering their body.
The sex gods….especially Alex had taken it upon himself to invite decorators and now they’re giving Brazzers lobby and most filming room a new look with the Christmas trees, balloons and string lights.
“Kate! Kate!”
Hearing her name, Kate swiveled her head without turning and there was the receptionist rushing over with her thick Jacket and shawl.
“Oh, Esther. It’s good to see you.”
Yeah, finally Kate managed to know the lady’s name. She didn’t ask, she saw it imprinted on a shirt she wore. Since then, she noted it in her mind.
“I was looking everywhere for you and Angela. I thought you wouldn’t come again today. Thank goodness you’re here.” She rushed the words out.
Angela had filled Kate in about the nude Christmas party that was supposed to be held Tomorrow. So they had come for name picking as regards to the gift exchanging.
“Oh, she told me. So I had to come.” Kate chirped.
“Where’s everyone going?” Angela asked, brows quirked.
“Oh, the ballroom. The name picking is about to start!” Esther, the receptionist replied. “C'mon, c'mon. Let’s head there. The sex gods are already waiting for everyone to gather.” Quickly, she added.
At that, all three of them began moving away and towards the ballroom.
The whole place was already filled up, all the pornstars grinning from ear to ear.
All the names of people had been written and twisted in tiny ruffled papers and now, when it gets to the person’s turn they pick a name, and secretly check the name of the person they picked.
It went on and on until everyone picked the names.
Kate picked Aiden.
Aiden picked Alex.
Alex picked Kate.
Lisa picked Alex.
Mira picked Lisa.
Angela and Joe were lucky as they picked themselves. It was as if fate was working its course.
The moment Kate found out she picked Aiden, she worried her lips, thinking of the best gifts to offer him.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Oh, Lisa’s boiling with joy. Her plans are slowly setting into place and tomorrow it shall unveil.
The sex gods will remember how she handles them and come running back to her.
Indeed, it’s a game she can’t wait to play.
She watched as Kate chattered away with Angela, her body zinging with anticipation.
She was mindlessly walking across the room, to reach the exit but surprisingly, she bumped into someone.
A gasp tore from the person’s lips as she fell on a heap on the floor.
“Mira!?” Lisa gasped, dropped to her haunches to help Mira but the lady snapped her hand away.
“Don’t touch me!” She ground out, anger laced her words.
She hates the fact that a harmless touch as that ignited something inside her.
Mira hadn’t been herself since their last banter. She had tried to get her mind off Lisa, drinking and fucking around with Clark but it doesn’t work.
To make matters worse, Lisa is the person she ended up picking. She hates it. It makes her seethe.
She can’t continue loving someone that doesn’t love her.
Snapping to her feet, Mira pulled herself together and dashed off, leaving Lisa confused.
