As I sat on my bed typing away at my computer keyboard my mind had continued to wander and take the focus away from my work that needed to be done. It turns out there was a job opening close by to work inside the office for the company that had hired me to write for them. They liked my first two articles and said that they were interested in having me apply for this position. I was a little nervous about doing it since I had never worked in an office setting but it came with a pay raise and I could certainly use the money. I figured there would be no harm in at least trying to apply. However, the simple paragraphs they wanted me to write weren't so simple since the only things that could come to my mind were the events of the last few days and more importantly the past few hours. Things had not gone the way I had planned for that morning in fact, they had taken a turn that I wasn't foreseeing at all.
Jess and Rocco had spent basically the entire day on the couch. I wasn't sure if she had skipped work or if she just didn't have to work today but either way I was glad to see her happy. I had awkwardly avoided Rocco's question earlier and for that reason I hadn't left my room. I wondered if he had mentioned it to Jess at all but it was better for me to just hide out in here until later tonight when we watched the movie. I was surprised when I heard a knock on our door and Jess called for me to come out. It wasn't that late already was it? I hoped not since I really needed to get this done and I wasn't even close to being finished. I placed my computer down and stepped out of my room. Murphy was standing in the living room making some comment about how Rocco and Jess hadn't moved from the couch all day and teasing them. Why was he here so early and…by himself? I didn't mind when the two of them weren't together. In fact, I might have actually preferred it but I knew my work wouldn't get done now.
"Back so soon?" I asked him and he turned to look at me with a smile on his face. I'm sure I didn't look very presentable right now in sweatpants and an old t-shirt but I wasn't really prepared for him to show up.
"I got ta leave work earlier than usual, Connor stayed." He said as if he knew my next question. "Thought I'd come by." He shrugged.
I nodded to him and Jess grinned widely at me from the couch. "What?" I asked her.
"Nothing, nothing."
I was guessing she had some kind of idea what was going on. Besides that she had mentioned the comment sometime before, about how if it were her in this situation she would have the both of them.
"Well, I have this article I have to finish so I can't promise it will be a very entertaining day for you." I said. It was around three in the afternoon so it would be a while before Connor would be over to join us for the movie. Murphy shrugged not really seeming to mind that he wouldn't be occupied.
"You can stay out here with them if you want." I said. It wasn't that I didn't want his company, I just really needed to get it done.
"Nah, s'alright. I'll just watch ye write." He said. This seemed kind of weird to me and I was never comfortable with people reading over my shoulder but I shrugged and motioned for him to follow me.
I sat down on the edge of my bed and was about to pick up my laptop when Murphy sat next to me and kissed me quickly. I gave him a stern look.
"I have to finish this article." I stressed.
"I know, women. Calm down." He said laying back on my bed. I rolled my eyes at him and turned to pick up the computer. I was typing for a while, I had almost forgot he we there and then I started to feel his hands at my back. I stopped writing for a minute but then tried to push on. I was almost done. He was sitting behind me now his hands running along my shoulders and my back.
"Murph, I told you-"
"I know." He stopped me in the middle of my sentence. "Keep writin'." If only he knew how hard it was for me to concentrate on this without him being right here. It seemed all my mind wanted to think about was him or Connor or both of them. I sighed a little trying to do as he said and finish writing but now he was inching closer to me and he had started to kiss my neck.
"I'm not gonna be able to write with you doing that." I huffed.
"Ye can so, just focus." He mumbled into my neck.
Why did it seem like he had no idea the effect that just a look from him could give me? I sighed and turned back to the screen and started typing as much as I could to try and ignore the feeling of his hands around my waist and his lips on my skin. My words on the screen weren't even making sense now since I couldn't focus on what I was supposed to be writing. I finally finished it, not even caring that it wasn't perfect. I was too distracted for that now. I saved the file and closed the laptop quickly placing it on the floor by my feet. I turned to him and he gazed back at me giving me an innocent face. I grinned to him and pushed him backwards on the bed straddling him.
"Your work better be done." He scolded and placed his hands on my hips.
"It is." I nodded to him and leaned over to kiss him gently. I knew there wouldn't be time for much now since the article had taken me about an hour and Connor would be coming over here soon. He slipped his fingers into the waistband of my sweatpants and I looked at him.
"No." I scolded. I was not risking Jess or anyone else walking in here on us.
"Aw, c'mon Annie." He begged. I just loved hearing him say my name.
"No." I grinned. "You want them to hear us or come in here and figure out what's going on?" I asked him.
"Who cares if they know?" he said. "Gonna find out sometime." He was right. With the way they had all been so close lately they would find out eventually. Jess wasn't dumb and she would pick up on things quickly. I went to move away from him so he wouldn't be more tempted to continue on with what he was thinking but he wasn't letting me. He grabbed me around the waist and pulled me against him.
"Oh, were ye goin' somewhere?" he asked me smirking.
"Ugh, let go, Murph." I squirmed. I didn't really mind actually, I was kind of comfortable. Sure enough there was the familiar knocking I knew we would hear.
"That doesn't sound like working to me." Jess called from behind the door.
" 's research!" Murphy called out and Jess laughed. I hit him playfully and Jess opened the door.
"Oh." She said raising her eye brows at us.
"It's not what it looks like." I mumbled, my face close to Murphy's chest.
"Mhm…Please tell me what is it then?" she grinned as I saw Rocco poke his head through the door behind her.
"What's it look like to you, Roc?" Jess asked him.
"Don't answer her!" I squirmed again trying to get free. Murphy obeyed this time and let me go. Just as he did and I got up off the bed the front door opened.
"Perfect timing." Jess said looking at me and then toward the door. "Hey Connor." She said walking away from the door. Maybe she hadn't caught on just yet after all.
I walked out of the room just as Connor approached me and kissed me quickly. I was glad we were out of the door frame. For some reason even though we had all agreed upon this being that way with either of them with the other seeing it just made me uncomfortable. Murphy came out of my room soon after and both of them looked at each other giving one another a small nod.
Jess made her way quickly over to the couch with a bunch of movies placed out in front of her on the table. I walked over and took a seat on the smaller couch and both of the boys took a seat on either side of me.
"So, what should we watch?" she asked. None of the movies she had picked out really seemed interesting to me and I actually had a bad habit of falling asleep during movies.
"Just don' go pickin' one of those girly movies." Connor said rolling his eyes.
"You don't like chick flicks? Strange, I took you as the type." I joked.
"Yer so fuckin' funny." He said nudging me with his elbow and I laughed.
Jess finally picked something up off the table and placed it in for us to watch. I was most likely not going to pay much attention to whatever movie she had chosen. My thoughts were elsewhere. On my article, on everything that had happened earlier that day, on the fact that I was sitting in the middle of these two guys. Jess got up happily to hit the lights off and our apartment grew eerily dark with only the light of the television. The movie was only a few minutes in and Connor had already placed his hand on my leg. He was so touchy but I didn't mind it. His fingers moved up and down against the fabric of my pants. I was much more focused on this than I was with the movie. I had barely noticed the feeling of Murphy taking my hand in his and holding it tightly. This moment, it wasn't anything sexual. However, it gave me butterflies. Maybe it was the fact that both of them were giving me attention at the same time. I stood up rather fast and grabbed a blanket from the side of the couch tossing it over the three of us. Jess shot me a look but I tried to ignore her. I couldn't just be cold?
The boys resumed their positions and I glanced back and forth between them. My guess what neither of them knew that the other has been touching me but for some reason I felt that they had some weird kind of twin connection where they did know and they were just doing this to drive me crazy. It didn't seem like their intentions had been to do anything more than just be close to me which I had been fine with. Midway through the movie I started feeling tired which I knew was going to happen. I yawned lightly and rested my head on Murphy's shoulder. To get myself more comfortable I repositioned myself and placed my legs over Connor's lap. He turned to me and smiled placing both his hands on my thighs. Murphy wrapped his arm around my shoulders and I nuzzled up to him. It was obvious that I was going to spend the night here with how comfortable I was getting. I glanced over at Jess just before my eyes started to close for good. She seemed so happy snuggled up to Rocco on the couch. It was nice to see her that way. I wiggled a little inching myself closer to Murphy and finally I couldn't fight it anymore. My eyes closed and I drifted off to sleep.
A/N: I am sorry that this is absolute shit. You guys deserve better from me. The next chapter I have planned will be better, I promise. This was more of a filler. I've been having some issues with real life things. Work and some groups I'm in where people are being not so nice so it's really been a struggle for me to push this one out. Please be patient and I promise you that you'll enjoy the next chapter. It might take me longer than a week to update though but don't worry. I love you all for reviewing so much. Thank you! 3
