“I’m here. Am I ruining your therapy?”
“I’ve been here three hours,” Juniper laughed. “I think its okay I have company now.”
“And Phineas, Adil and Beni, they’re the guys you were referring to?”
“Yes.”
“Is he as hot in person as on the magazine covers?”
“Hotter. All three of them are hot.” She looked away twisting her lips.
“What was that?”
“Nothing.”
“Something.”
“They’re incredibly hot. Mama put thoughts in my head and last couple of nights I’m dreaming things I shouldn’t be.”
“Like when we binged all the seasons of Supernatural and you accidentally called a certain actor’s name in your sleep?”
“Yeah, like that.”
Suki laughed loudly. “I love this for you! What did your mom say to put naughty thoughts in your head?”
“Mama overheard them arguing over which one gets to date me when I’m all healed up and they decided to make it a competition between them.”
“A contest?”
“No. Not a contest per se. More of a situation where three men want to be with me, and they love and respect each other enough they’re encouraging each other to be the best man I could possibly need. Mama said I should kiss them all before I make a choice.”
“Why choose? If they love and respect each other, take them all to bed.” Suki shrugged.
Juniper widened her eyes at the woman’s comment, “Suki! I’ve been with one man my whole life and now you’re telling me to have an orgy.”
“I’m telling you to have group sex with three hot men who want you. Turn it into one of those romance novel reverse harem things you like to read about. Since you were forced to see Kyst on camera, you should video it and send it to him, so he gets to feel it too.”
Juniper barked out a laugh, “oh my god you’re horrible.”
“Yeah, but tonight when you’re in your new bed all alone, you’ll be thinking of three men filling all your holes, making yo come and forgetting about your cheating little boy you left me.” Suki sighed, “I’m angry at Kyst. I can’t believe he would do this.”
Juniper watched as Suki pulled her phone out and dialed kys. number. What was her impulsive friend doing now?
“Suki. Hey. Are you back in Toronto? I need your help. Juni is pissed with me and left me. I need you to help me find her so I can sit down and talk with her.”
“Why is she mad, Kyst? It’s not like Juni to up and leave over anything.”
“It’s a misunderstanding. Her boss told her lies and she’s doubting me.”
“I saw the video.” Suki lied through her teeth. “The one where you were with the girl who just lays there. Is it a kink of hers to be treated so abysmally in the sack or were you really not caring?”
“There is no way there is video.”
“Juni put the cameras in herself, Kyst. Why do you keep lying?”
Kyst was quiet and then his voice was cold. “Fine. I fucked up. Okay. I fucked up massively, but Juni can’t just divorce me over this. We’ve been together fifteen years. She doesn’t get to walk away without talking to me about it.”
“Actually, Kyst, she does. She exactly gets to do this.
GETS you nothing. Time she wasted on you isn’t time she ever et to reclaim. I’m really disappointed in you Kyst. You’re m friend and I love you, but this betrayal tells me I don’t know who you are. Juni’s whereabouts and what she is doing and any information I find on her are not anything I will ever share with you. I was calling you this morning to tell you, we are no longer friends, Kyst. The callous and easy way you used another woman simply because Juni was trying to give you a family is revolting. Don’t call me again. Don’t text me.”
“You’re taking her side?”
“Yes. A thousand times yes. What did Juni ever do to you?”
“Nothing. She’s perfect. She’s utter perfection and I fucked up.
I know I did. I got stupidly caught up and I regret it. I’ll do whatever she wants. Marriage counselling. Individual counselling. If she never wants to have kids, I’ll stop asking. I swear.”
“You need help Kyst but not even with all the therapy in the world will Juni ever forgive you. I know her as well as you do. You needed to know before you dipped your dick inte the breathing blow-up doll, this would be something she’d never forgive.”
“She wasn’t supposed to find out!”
“That’s your problem, isn’t it Kyst. You don’t feel bad you did it. You feel bad you were caught.”
“No. I hated myself while doing it. I regret touching her. I regret it all.”
“It’s too bad regret isn’t something Juni will accept at this time. Maybe in a hundred years she can look at you without feeling the bitter sting of regret but ultimately, if you have any kind of soul left in you, you’ll do what you need to do and let her go.”
“I can’t. I’ll never let her go. She is my world, and I can’t live without her.”
