thing I can see coming out of that is a low kick to that precious area of yours.”
    Joey walked over and got close as he reached behind me and put the helmet back on my head. When our eyes met, he smiled, displaying his bright white teeth. “It’s goin’ to happen.”
    “Fat chance,” I said as he climbed on the bike in front of me.
    When he started the motor I knew he was done talking. It was just enough conversation to have me stewing the rest of the ride home. He was so arrogant that I wondered how anyone could give him the time of day. I’d never met someone like him and I hated it. Part of me wondered if it was all some game he was playing with my head. At any rate, he’d succeeded to get me all roiled up.
    When we arrived back at the apartment, he waited for me to climb off of the bike first. He turned off the ignition and followed behind me. Knowing that he had no furniture in his place, I wondered what he was doing. “Are you planning on sleeping on the floor?”
    Joey turned me around to face him. He caught me off guard and my hands went slamming into his chest. As I looked up in his eyes, I could sense his intent. His breath was on my face and I was certain that he was going to lean over and try to kiss me. While preparing my hands to react to his boldness, Joey leaned over and kissed me on the cheek. “Thanks for the company. See you around, gorgeous.” He turned and walked back down the sidewalk, applying his helmet before he started his bike and pulled away. He didn’t wave or wait for me to respond. He just left.
    Once inside the finally quiet house, I climbed into the guest bed and stared at the dark ceiling. My heart was still beating fast from the excitement of the ride and I couldn’t stop thinking about his tender thank you when it came to an end. It made no sense and seemed out of character, but it was sweet aside from who was giving it to me. I reached up and touched the place where he’d kissed my skin. I got chills when I pictured his lips touching me. As difficult as it was, I finally fell asleep. For the first night in a long time, Shayne wasn’t what was on my mind.
     
     
     
    Chapter 5
    Shayne
    After hours of sober euphoria, I was passed out with two fine ladies in my arms. My fantasy had been fulfilled and as much as I thought I’d feel better about being single, I actually felt worse. In fact, I felt so guilty and I couldn’t understand why. After much consideration and an emotional fight with my own conscience, I climbed out of bed, leaving the two naked girls, and gathered up my clothes.
    What should have been something that I wanted to gloat about had turned into something that I didn’t want to admit to doing. By the time I made it back to the hotel room, the sun was starting to come up. Thankfully, my sister was wrapped in the covers of her bed, sound asleep. I plopped down, still in my clothes, on the other bed and put a pillow over my face.
    Why couldn’t I lay there smiling about what I’d done?
    What was causing me to feel so bad?
    I knew what it was, but I didn’t want to admit it to myself, and especially to anyone else. Doing that would just remind me of how I’d definitely never have it again. I’d fucked that up and with my newest conquest under my belt, and it was undeniably setting the result into stone. I thought I wanted two women and to be able to do what I wanted when I wanted, but what if that wasn’t what I needed at all? What if I had that one thing and let it go?
    I slept for about an hour before my parents were beating on the door for us to get up and meet downstairs for breakfast. We were taking my brother and his girlfriend out, so my parents could get to know her more. With his big secret leering over my head, I didn’t feel that great about starting a relationship with the girl.
