Chapter #32A Couple of Couples Coupling Up by: Nostrum   You’re half-laying on the bed, with a naked and perturbed Jessica on your lap. Ashton and Allison mimic your pose – or are you mimicking theirs? – while facing you. You’re still absorbing her revelation that, somehow, weed gave them your memories.
“When I heard Ash telling me that you guys used us,” she begins her tale, “I was curious. And a bit disgusted, not gonna lie, but Ash insisted your boyfriend’s a good guy.”
“I told him I was sorry,” you remind them. “I felt bad for keeping it a secret.”
“I’m surprised you didn’t suspect.” Allison leans closer, mildly amused. “Say, you mind if I call you ‘Dave’?”
“I think Dave’s fine.”
“Nah. I think I’ll call you ‘Dee’. Sounds cooler. Anyways, why didn’t you tell her?”
“I wasn’t sure you were gonna do that,” you confess. “Wanted to give you the benefit of the doubt.”
“You’re too trusting,” she tells you. “But I appreciate it. And again, sorry about doing it without warning. You mind if I call you ‘Jess’?”
“That’s how everyone calls me,” your girlfriend tells them. You notice she’s still sore, and not even a rub from your arms soothes her.
“I don’t want you guys to get the worst first impression from me. I just felt it was fair.”
“That’s the problem,” Jessica tells Allison. “I thought it was some harmless fun. As long as you guys didn’t know, no harm no foul, right?”
“Like I said – if I was in the same situation as you? I’d do the same. I’m surprised you guys actually cared about everyone else.”
“I just wanted Mikey and Lindsey to be a couple,” your girlfriend laments. “I thought they were meant for each other – he has a crush on her, she told my friend Kelly he was cute--”
“That was a ballsy move,” Allison points out. “You wore one of your best friends?”
“I had to be there in case Davey chickened out. Turns out, without their memories, this was a lost cause.”
“I get you. See, that’s why I feel so bad. I thought you wouldn’t like it, but didn’t expect you’d take it so badly!”
“I know I deserve this, but... it was horrible. You know how it feels to see and hear things from the inside out?”
Does that mean Jess saw the same thing as me? “Like if you were underwater.”
“What did you hear, babe?”
“I guess them having sex.” You look at Allison and Ashton, startled. “You... had sex while inside our skins, right?”
“We did what you guys did. Sorta. Went to Lovers’ Hill, smoked some weed, then fucked. Second time in doggy style, even.”
“You told them!?” Jessica says as she slaps you.
“They asked,” you reply meekly.
“Don’t be so harsh with him! I even asked Ash to call me by your name, and I’d call him by your name, and...” She giggles, closing her eyes. “Fuck. That was magical. Almost like deja vu.”
“Yeah,” Ashton affirms. “It was like we felt what you guys were doing back then.”
“Babe, did you feel like something was getting pushed down there? Because I felt like--”
“Yeah,” Jessica confirms you. “Does that mean you guys felt our time having sex too?”
“No!” Allison exclaims. “That’s why it feels so weird! It was like... got our lights punched out, then we wake up at Ash’s school--”
“We also study there,” you clarify.
“I told Dave to leave you somewhere else, but he said he’d feel bad if you were someplace unsafe, and the football team was still training, so...”
“See?” Ashton exclaims. “They thought of everything!”
“Yeah, I agree. Thing is, we didn’t experience what we told you.”
“Then why did we experience it?”
You recall that eerie feeling when you ate the brownie - the emotions you sensed in this very same bed. “Hey. Ash told me you smoke weed for some sort of meditation thing, no?”
“Oh!” She covers her mouth, holding her giggles. “He told you that!?”
“I thought it wasn’t a bad thing,” her boyfriend states. “You know I only use it for the feels.”
“Well, since it’s already out... I don’t do just weed. I use all kinds of drugs to... y’know, get on the mood to attune with the world.”
“Could it be that smoking weed connected you with our minds?”
That shocks Allison to the core. “Yeah. That’d explain why I started seeing her memories when I started meditating on our way back here.”
“What else did you learn?” your girlfriend asks.
“I was trying to figure how I did that, figuring I’d learn where you got the pen, when I got this glimpse of you putting someone on, and that’s when I got the idea to check your phone.”
“Which means you must’ve seen the video.”
“Hold on,” you snap at Jessica. “Didn’t you ask Claire to erase it?”
“She did. Sort of. She thinks she’s smart, but she didn’t empty the trash folder – or the notification that she sent it to herself.”
“Wait,” Allison asks. “Dee's sister knows about the pens?”
“You didn’t tell them?” As you shake your head, Jessica can’t figure whether to be surprised or disappointed. “Claire’s the reason we got into this mess.”
“Oh... so that’s the name I was curious about. And yeah – I saw it. That’s how I figured you’re just as good as Dee over here.”
“How come?”
“Because of the video. It was to help your sis. Y’know, I also got a little brother.”
“You’re not gonna believe who is it,” you boast.
“Allen?” And immediately, those hopes were dashed brutally. “C’mon, babe. Allen Tennison? Even the first name has some similarities!”
“Well - I didn’t think of it at first! Besides – I never heard from Claire that Allen had a sister!”
“I wouldn’t blame him. That’s probably Dad...” You see Allison close, and Ashton immediately bringing her closer to his embrace. “Nevermind.”
“It’s alright,” Jessica says while stretching, eager to take her hand. “If it’s that painful, you don’t have to say anything.”
She sniffs, flashing a weak smile. “I guess that’s why Ash and I get those vibes about you.”
“Which vibes?”
“It's... hard to explain. Ash just knows when someone’s good or not, and I just know when someone’s meant for each other. And when I saw you guys at the party, that’s the vibe you gave me.”
“But you were thinking that about Mikey and Lindsey,” Jessica points out. “Not us.”
“Doesn’t matter which face you were behind, Jess. I sensed you, not them. You’ve got one hell of a boyfriend.”
“Uh...” You flinch, not expecting such a compliment. “Thanks.”
“And since that experience was so bad for you, I want to help you heal. So, uh...” Allison exchanges looks with Ashton, who nods in approval. “I was gonna make a suggestion. If... you don’t mind, that is.”
“Is that about my sister?”
“Oh, no! That’s a different thing. It’s something more...” She bites her lip, grimacing. “Personal.”
“Ally really liked what we did,” Ashton explains, “but feels guilty that she didn’t ask you. So she was wondering--”
“--if you’d agree to letting me wear you every now and then. And, in exchange... you could use me.” She looks at you, then at Ashton. “The same goes for our boyfriends.”
“If you don’t mind,” he immediately adds.
“We’ll call you when we want some ‘you’ time,” she continues. “We’ll set a date. If you got a test or something to study, or a reason you don’t want to, I won’t bother you. And the same goes for you – when you guys want to wear us, give us a call.”
You know Jessica was thinking about the idea. You didn’t expect Allison was the one that’d offer it.
“Just so you know, I’ll try to get a copy of my keys so you can use this place – y'know, in case you find your rooms too uncomfortable when you need to have sex.”
“Or I can give you mine,” Ashton immediately offers. “For the time being, that is.”
“And we can keep the pen hidden here. When you wanna use it, you can just come in and look for it, or... I dunno, tell Ashton to give it to you.”
“I can look for it.”
“And since the pen’s yours, if we wanna use it for someone else, we’re gonna ask you for permission. We’re gonna make this our little secret, alright? And, uh... hell, I’ll even add helping your sister with her crush on Dee.”
“You’re forgetting somethin’,” Ashton adds.
“Oh, right! Um...” You notice how Allison grows increasingly nervous at the advent of her proposal. “So, you know what’s a polyamorous relationship?”
--
Ashton and Allison gave you privacy to discuss things. They offered to buy food for you, but since you’re close to dinner, you agreed on some shakes.
You notice Jessica’s rather nervous by the idea. “I can’t believe they’re agreeing to let us use them.”
“That’s gonna be in exchange for them using us.”
“You know I was itching for another time like last Friday! They’re basically letting us!”
“And? You’re chickening out?”
“I...!” Jessica huffs, exhaling her frustration. “I dunno. I think it’s fair. They’re a pair of horndogs – they'll probably be asking to wear us almost every day!”
“Maybe when Ally’s free or something. And we can always convince them to wear someone else.”
“True. That’s not what’s worrying me.”
“It’s the other offer, right? The offer to be a ‘shared couple’.” She lowers her head, hiding her face. “I don’t think our relationship will survive if we accept.”
You recognize she’s right. The temptation is too much to resist. Jessica will be humping a kind-hearted hunk like Ashton day and night, while you’ll have Ally whenever you want to. And with the pen in place, things can go darker. Jessica deciding you’d look better as Ashton – or worse, preferring him over you. Or Allison could decide she’d make a better Jessica.
But it’s a huge temptation. And every relationship must be tested in fire. This could be the perfect opportunity.  indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
