Chapter 383

“Well, we already talked about Becca,” Gemma said. She’d been lying down on the couch with her feet in your lap but now she sat up. “Unless you’ve changed your mind about last night?”

“No,” Sabrina said quickly, shaking her head. “I’m still OK with everything you guys described about last night and this morning. Honestly, I wish I’d been there. I just want to make sure you are OK with it since we’re running through everyone.”

“I am,” Gemma said. “I like Becca a lot, and Charlotte too, but Becca’s made it clear she’s interested in us.”

“This morning you said you were worried about messing things up between them,” you said. “Is that a serious worry?”

“I don’t know,” Gemma sighed. “You guys were right that I need to just trust them to be adults and know their own boundaries. They are both explicitly not in a relationship, they just happen to live together in the same room and bed and bang it out on a regular basis. It’s ... weird, but most people would think we’re weird so I can’t exactly judge.”

“Still, if you’re worried we can pull it back,” you said. “Or at least talk with Becca more specifically before we do anything else.”

“Maybe,” Gemma said. “How do you feel about it?”

“I feel ... I feel like Becca is a pragmatist,” you said. “When she first flirted with me hard, it was a test because she wanted to make sure I was good for you and not going to hurt you. Then when I passed her test, she just flirted with me a lot because she liked getting a reaction out of me and she’s really comfortable with her own body and sexuality. I think if we were to do something, it would be a lot like our stuff with Becks except maybe even more casual.”

“But do you want to bang her?” Sabrina asked with a teasing little smile.

You chuckled and nodded. “Becca is hot. Maybe not traditionally hot, but she’s fun and sexy. I’d love a Mallory-style night with her and you two.”

“Well, let’s just leave it where we did with her this morning for now,” Gemma said. “So flashing and groping is on the table, but no actual sex. Is that OK?”

“Of course,” you said. “Is this about teasing her more though?”

“Yes,” Gemma smirked. “Honestly, she needs a taste of her own medicine after the way she went at you.”

“I love it,” Sabrina giggled.

“OK, then we’re set on Becca,” you said.

“Tasha next?” Gemma suggested, and you and Sabrina agreed. “I think, if Mosche hasn’t talked to her today, we need to tell her she should break up with him.”

“Are we telling her about the new girl?” Sabrina asked.

“I would want to know,” Gemma said.

They both looked at you.

“I ... am conflicted,” you sighed. “It’s a loyalty thing. Mosche is my roommate, but I agree he’s acting badly and Tasha deserves to know. And I like Tasha and don’t want to see her get more hurt than she already is.”

“Are you OK if we tell her?” Sabrina asked. “Then it’s not you betraying him, but Tasha still knows.”

“I...” you had to stop and swallow. It was uncomfortable not feeling a hard loyalty in either direction. Mosche was the one fucking up big time, but he was also the one you’d known longer. Tasha, on the other hand, was the aggrieved party and just a lot more ... She felt like someone you could be friends with longer term, or outside of the roommate relationship you had with Mosche. You doubted that after the summer you would be reaching out to him, but you could see the girls remaining friends with Tasha. “You guys should tell her if he hasn’t had a proper conversation with her,” you nodded.
