Alex Cirsten


Samantha 'Sammie' Ford
______________


Blake


Matthew 'Matt'


Skylar 'Sky'

Daniel opened his apartment door up, guitar case in one hand and his car keys in the other. He murmured a groan and set his guitar down next to the open door before closing and locking the door. He flicked the lights on and sighed heavily when he was meet by a dive bomb of a place. He hadn't cleaned his place up since Sammie had come over a few weeks ago to hang out. He'd been to busy with band practice, performing small gigs, working out, working at the music store as a part-timer and sleeping to really bother cleaning. He kicked rubbish and other questionable things out of his way and slumped onto his couch wondering what he was going to do with his life to make it better.

--

Alex rubbed his stubble before loosening his tie a bit to allow himself to breath easier. Alex worked as social worker, a lot of the times he enjoyed his job because he felt like he was doing something to help improve the lives of others but there were some cases he had to take on that were heart breaking and hard to deal with. He lived a comfortable, modest lifestyle, and a lot of people looked up to him because he always did the best he could in the situations he was given. He didn't bullshit people around and was respected for it.

--

Sky stepped into her house and stretched. She was dressed in a sports bra, gym shorts and running shoes because she's just been for a jog around the area. Her long hair was tied up in a ponytail and headphone where plugged securely in her ears. She glanced around, at the moment she was in the long, spacious hallway. There was the garage door on her left and then the hall opened up at the right to the kitchen. Directly in front of her at the end of the hallway was the large lounge and dining area. Just before the lounge on the left side were stairs leading up to a decent entry that held the master bedroom, a large office space, two spare bedroom and the second bathroom sat between the spare rooms.

Sky locks the door behind her and beelined for the master bedroom, she goes in and heads for the bathroom where she takes her pick out of a bath or a shower and washed the sweat and dirt from her body. She finished and stepped out of the shower, drying herself off she gets changed into comfy shorts and a t-shirt and sweater before drying her wet hair.

Sammie ran her fingers through her hair as she looked down at the notes she had been taking. The school was forcing her to evaluate all of her students to make sure they were on the right track. Sighing softly, she buried her face in her hands as she tried to relax and just do it. Looking out the window for a moment, she wished she was outside with her kids while they were out at recess. Grabbing her phone, she texted Daniel wondering if he would be willing to meet her for a much needed drink tonight.

__________

Blake looked up from his place on the bed when he saw Skylar come home. Pushing himself up, he walked over and wrapped his arms around her. "How was your run?" he asked as he placed a kiss on the side of her neck and looked down at her. He was home because his shift hadn't started yet. Looking down at his girl, he ran his fingers through her hair before stepping away slightly. "You just missed Matt," he said gently. "He had to get to work early today."

__________

Matt drove through the streets, music playing from the radio. He worked at a local library, helping restore old books. It was the best job in his opinion and although people made fun of him, he wouldn't change it for the world. Pulling into the parking lot, he wondered what Blake and Sky were up to. He shook his head and smiled fondly as he thought of those two before climbing the steps and using his card to get into the locked section.

Daniel was dozing off when he recieved a text from Sammie. He replied with a sure before getting up and going and having a shower. He took his time then got out and dried himself off before finding clean clothes. Once he was done he found a rubbish bag and started cleaning his messy apartment up.

"Looks half way decent now." He mumbled to himself. He'd cleaned up in case Sammie ended up coming over to his.

--

Alex sat talking to one of his cases, a teenage boy who lived with abusive parents. The teen had tried to run from his temporary foster home and Alex had been called in to sort the boy out. Others looked at the kid like he was a misbehaved youth that needed some sense knocked into him. Alex saw the boy as a misguided teenager that felt neglected.

"I'll visit as often as I can but for now you need to stay here until your relatives get back to us, no more running away." Alex instructed, he farewelled the calmer young lad and left, deciding to go to a bar and have a drink.

--

Sky blushed when Blake hugged her and she wrapped her arms around his neck, feeling better after her shower. "I didn't see you there," She smiled sweetly "It was uneventful, but good." She replied. When he pulled back and spoke about Matt leaving she nodded her head in understanding. "That's okay, he's doing what he loves." She grinned.

Sammie smiled as school let out and soon she found herself walking into the bar that her and Daniel almost always went to. Smiling softly, she looked around before heading to the bar when she didn't see him. Hopping up on a bar stool, she caught the bartender's eye and ordered a martini and a beer for Daniel. Looking around, she ran her fingers through her hair as she tried to relax some after the long day.
__________

Blake looked at her and smiled fondly as he thought of Matt. "Yeah, the little bookworm." he said fondly as he kissed her cheek again before moving past her into the shower. "I have to get ready for work." he said as he pulled off his shirt and kicked the door shut with a smirk on his face. He pulled off the rest of his clothes before getting into the shower and allowing the warm water to cascade down his body. Soon afterwards, he found himself leaving Sky and heading out.
____________

Matt sat through his shift, working on an old book with a leather cover that had water damage. He worked carefully on nursing the book back to health, barely paying attention to the time that had passed nor the fact that others were beginning to leave. Feeling someone clap his shoulder, he looked up to see his boss who told him to go home. He said thank you before heading out. Soon, he found himself walking back through the door.

Daniel saw the time and grabbing his car keys he left the house, locking it and going to his car. He texted Sammie to let her know he'd left and he started his vehicle and begun driving to the bar. He cursed at the heavy traffic and sighed. He sent here another text telling her he'd get there as soon as possible and apologized. He turned up the music to drown out the honking horns and tapped a beat against his steering wheel as a form of entertainment.

--

Alex stopped of at a bar and parked his car. He got out and locked his vehicle before proceeding inside, he was thankful to see the bar was rather quiet with only a few guys and a couple of women. One of the ladies sat by herself, he noticed she looked quite beautiful and she had breathtaking eyes. He made his way over to the bar and ordered a drink, sitting next to her. He sighed heavily and was happy when he got his whiskey. He loosed his tie a bit more and took a few sips of his beverage. He glanced over at her and smiled politely.

--

Sky bid Blake good-bye, kissing him on the lips and waving as he closed the front door behind him. Once he was gone she turned on some music and spent her time in the kitchen, looking for ingredients to make a lasagna dish. When she found everything she set to work. The kitchen was spacious and large, it had to be to accommodate to Sky's job as a professional cake decorator. She was only 22 but she had been working with cakes since she was 13. She looked really young for her age but she was told it added to her cute factor, whatever that meant. While the lasagna dish was cooking in the oven she decided to bake. She took her time baking cupcakes and chocolate chip cookies. She managed to finish off all the baking and the dinner by the time she heard the front door open as keys jingled.

Sammie looked up when someone sat next to her and she was greeted by the sight of a very handsome man. She smiled back at him as she took another sip of her martini. Glancing over at him again, she allowed her eyes to trail over his strong chin and look at his other features. "Hi," she said with a soft smile as she turned slightly to face him more. "Rough day?" She asked curiously as he loosened his tie and she looked at him, tipping her head slightly to the left.

________________

Blake got stuck in traffic and he groaned as he waits. Tapping his fingers on the steering wheel, his hand inches down to the horn and he couldn't help but blast it a few times. It was ridiculous, he thought as he finally pulled into the parking lot of his job after a hour if being stuck in traffic. Walking up the steps, he frowned slightly when he saw more people than usual around. He didn't exactly hate people, he just strongly opposed most people's existence on the universe.
____________
Matt walked into the house and smiled as he was greeted with a house filled with delicious smells. Setting his stuff down, he headed to the kitchen. "Hello," he greeted Sky as he walked over and pressed a gentle kiss to her forehead. "How are you?" He asked as he took a step bac to look around and see what was happening around his kitchen. "I see you have been busy." He said with a smile.

Daniel was almost to the bar and he was all but jumping in his seat. "Come on!" He yelled, getting more and more agitated. When he finally got through the traffic he let out a breath of air that he didn't realize he'd been holding in and relaxed a little bit. He arrived at the bar and found a car park, relieved he got out.

--

Alex glanced over at the woman and nodded his head gentle "Being a social worker has it's ups and downs." He muttered, taking another swig of his whiskey. "Yourself?" He asked noticing that she looked a bit tense as well. He couldn't remember the last time he'd had a proper conversation with someone and it felt nice.

--

Sky grinned at Matt "I'm great, how was work?" She asked giving the final touches to her cupcakes before turning her full attention onto him. "Sorry for the mess I'll clean it up as soon as I'm done." She promised, wiping her hands on her apron.

Sammie looked at him and nodded. "I don't doubt that it would." she said honestly. "I'm a third grade teacher." she said before taking another sip of her martini. She glanced to the door, wondering where Daniel could be before looking back at the man next to her. "What's your name?" she asked curiously.
____________
Blake moved through the building, not acknowledging the people who called out to him. He hated the talking part his job to be honest because it required way more interaction than he ever wanted. Sighing, he pushed open the door to his lab and walked inside. This part of his job, he loved. Walking inside, he looked over to equipment before heading toward his research.
____________
Matt looked at her and smiled softly. "Don't worry about it. Work was good." he said as he leaned against the counter. "What are the cupcakes for?" he asked as he looked at them. "They smell delicious" he complimented before moving over to her and kissed her cheek gently.

Daniel stepped inside the bar and glanced around, finding Sammie talking to another man. The man looked like the stereotypical "tall, dark and handsome". To say Daniel wasn't jealous would be a lie. He's known Sammie for awhile now but never had the guts to voice his interest. Not that she'd be interested anyway. He approached not wanting to interrupt. He went behind her and took a seat, making sure she'd seen him but acknowledging she was having a conversation. He ordered a beer and waited patiently.

--

Alex gave a soft grin. "My name is Alex, pleasure to meet you." He spoke with his husky voice. A man brushed past them and he realized that the woman in front was probably there to meet up with him. It seemed she already had a boyfriend at least. Alex couldn't help but feel slightly disappointed but asked for her name anyway.

--

Sky blushed when Matt kissed her, feeling warm inside. "The cupcakes are for us" Sky explained, she was bored being at home recently but her boss had forced her to take paid leave off of work because Sky never took time off unless forced too. Sky had made a list of all the things she wanted to get done while on "holiday". Including gardening, chores around the house and other things to occupy her time. She was a 55 year old woman in a 22 year old body. She pouted sullenly.

Sammie smiled when Daniel walked in and she nodded before looking at Alex. "My name is Sammie." she said before glancing at Daniel. "Daniel, this is my new acquaintance, Alex. Alex this is my friend Daniel." she smiled at both of the men before she ordered another martini. "One of you handsome boys want to buy me a drink?" she asked with a smile on her face as she looked at the two of them. She reached over and touched Daniel's arm gently and smiled at him in a private hello.

Blake looked through his research and sighed softly as he tried to make sense of his own hand writing. Running his fingers through his hair, he made a face when he finally figured it out. Walking around the lab, he got his stuff together before looking at some of his research as a reference again. He was the lead scientist trying to figure out a cure to cancer. He hated dealing with people but he also hated the idea of people hurting through something they couldn't control.

Matt looked at her and kissed her again. "You are beautiful," he whispered as he smiled at her. "Thank you for the cupcakes." he said with a smile. "They smell delicious. So how is your forced vacation going?" he asked as he grabbed a cupcake, leaning back against the counter. He watched her with a smile on his face.

Daniel nodded his head in acknowledgement towards Alex and felt Sammie touch his arm, he visibly relaxed. He quickly paid for her martini before the other guy had a chance. Sammie was his close friend and he'd be more than happy to buy her drinks or whatever else she wanted or needed. No new guy was going to push his way in and steal Sammie before he even had a chance to tell her he's liked her for a long time. He drunk his beer and moved closer to Sammie so he could hear their conversation.

--

Alex raised his eyebrow at Daniel and wondered if he had heard correctly. Friend? Was Daniel written off into the friendzone with Sammie? Alex looked Daniel over. He was a rough looking guy but in no means ugly or unfit. In fact Daniel was a pretty good looking guy... in his own way. Alex noticed that Daniel didn't like the look of Alex talking to Sammie and concluded he had an obvious crush on the female in front of him though he wondered if Sammie knew that her friend had feelings for her.

--

Sky blushed. "It's no problem." She said as she took her apron off. She wrapped her arms around Matt's neck, kissing him on the lips before she pulled back slightly but was still pressed up against him. She sighed in displeasure "Lonely," She answered honestly. "You and Blake have been working consistently at different times of the day and I miss us all being together all at the same time." Sky sighed sadly and pouted.

Sammie looked at Daniel and smiled at him as he paid for her martini. "Thanks," she said before taking a sip of it. Looking at both men, she knew that they were both very handsome in their own rights. Biting her lip gently, she trailed her finger around the rim of her martini glass. "So we already established that Alex had a rough day, that I had a rough day, what about you Daniel?" she asked as she glanced over at him and smiled gently. She had had a small crush on Daniel for a while but honestly thought that she wasn't pretty enough for him or anyone else for that matter to be interested in her.

Blake ran his fingers through his hair as he blew air out in frustration. It was ridiculous as he watched his new assistant run around the room trying to do everything, not realizing that Blake was going around fixing everywhere the assistant went. Blake was hard o people and everyone knew it. The longest an assistant had ever lasted with him was three weeks and that was pushing it. "You are fired!" he yelled out as the girl dropped glasses everywhere. "Get out!"
________________
Matt frowned and nodded. "I know." he said as he finished his cupcake before wrapping his arms around her. "But it is only for one more week and then Blake will be back on normal people hours instead of the graveyard shift." he said as he kissed her forehead gently. "It won't be too long." he said as he kissed her cheek gently and smiled down at her. "It'll be okay." he promised as he smiled down at her.

Daniel shrugged his shoulders. "Didn't get up to doing anything except band practice." He stated but wondered if he should have talked about something more interesting. His life was so boring, if it weren't for Sammie he would probably just be a robot going to and from places, with no emotional attachment anything. "So what's the plan for tonight?" He smirked. Even thought he couldn't admit his feelings to Sammie whenever they got drunk things always became really touchy feely between them.

--

Alex left like he was intruding on Sammi and Daniel but Sammie was nice enough to include him into her conversation with Daniel, he didn't have any intention of barging in and trying to take another guy's girl. And there was definitely chemistry between the two. He wondered if he should let them get on with their night. Although they'd make it clear when they went to leave. He didn't mind, he wasn't really a social butterfly.

--

Sky wondered how Blake was doing, she worried that he'd come home stressed and tired. She shooed Matt out of the kitchen and went about quickly cleaning it, it was late now as she finished cleaning the kitchen and storing the cupcakes neatly into containers and placing them in the baking cupboard where Sky put all the baking she makes for the boys to come and eat it whenever they wanted sweets.

"Don't you have tomorrow off of work?" She called out to Matt, he usually did but wondered if things where hectic at his work as well. If he had time off of work then at least for a little while tomorrow morning they'd all be together until Blake had to go back to work.

Sammie looked over at Daniel for a moment and bit her lip. "I have no idea what is going to happen." She said honestly. "I guess we will see what happens." Grinning, she clapped her hands when a song came on. Getting up, she pulled Alex off his seat before heading over to the small dance floor that the bar provided. Pressing here led against Alex, she began to move her hips and body to the beat of the song while looking over at Daniel. Occasionally, she would looked up at Alex and smile
--------
Blake moved around the lab, trying to clean up the mess and ignoring his boss. His boss was yelling at him for smiling another assistant cry but honestly Blake couldn't care less. The girl made one too many mistakes, it was that simple to him.
______
Matt pouted as she shooed him away and he walked to the living room. Sitting down, he watched TV before hearing Sky call out. Turning the TV down, he yelled "yes, I have tomorrow off." He wondered what she was planning although he smiled. He knew that what ever it was it would be nice to have all of them together.

Daniel watched Sammie grab Alex and drag him off to the dance floor. He knew she was just doing it too get a reaction out of him so he watched both their bodies dance together. He felt strange, he liked seeing them together but knew it'd be even better with him up against them both. Both? The thought appealed to him. He got up and strided over to them, he moved in and danced against Sammie, wedging her between his body and Alex's.

--

Alex was caught off guard when Sammie grabbed him and dragged him to the dance floor, he was enjoying himself as they danced together but couldn't help but wonder if Daniel would come over and join them. When Daniel finally did he surprised himself by being happy about it.

--

Sky finished cleaning and then come out into the lounge with some chocolate and a glass of fizzy. She sat down beside Matt and put the drink down on the coffee table in front of them. Before leaning against Matt, Blake would be home soon, it was nearly midnight. Sky closed her eyes and took a short nap.

Sammie watched as Daniel came over and she smiled up at him. Moving against their bodies, she smiled. It was nice to think that they were both dancing with her. Looking up, she met both of their eyes for a moment before glancing away. She continued to dance for a few more songs before stepping out from in between them. Smiling softly, she went back to the bar and Saar down again.
______________
Blake gladly handed off to the next shift as he heard home. Driving through, he appreciated the fact that there was little to on one else on the roads. He got home in twenty minutes. Pulling into the driveway. He got out and walked to the door. Opening it, he smiled when he saw then, both asleep on the couch.
________________
Matt woke up a few moments after wards and he looked up. Seeing Blake, he smiled. "Hey Handsome." He said in greeting. He looked down and saw their beautiful girl still sleeping against him. Matt scooped her up gently and Egan to walk to the bedroom. "How was work?" He asked Blake softly.

Daniel was enjoying the dancing immensely so when Sammie left he was disappointed because he wanted to keep dancing. "Party pooper." He grumbled in an undertone and pouted playfully after Sammie. Daniel decided to keep dancing for a little while longer. During the dancing himself and Alex had moved closure and they weren't exactly grinding against each other but they were dancing with each other.

--

When Sammie left he wondered if he should leave too but ended up dancing with Daniel. He hoped no one was staring at them because they'd probably assume they're gay. Alex was surprised that he was enjoying dancing even though it was only Alex. His eyes slide over to Sammie, would she think they're gay and be disgusted? He threw her a lustful look aimed at her, to indicate she was still wanted.

--

Sky felt herself being lifted up and recognized Blake and Matt talking quietly to themselves, she then felt herself being placed on their large bed. She rolled over and sighed blissfully. She opened her tired eyes and covered her mouth with her hand as she yawned. "Blake's home" She mumbled tiredly and smiled. She took her shorts off then her jumper. She took her bra off from under her t-shirt then hopped under the covers of their bed.

Sammie watched the two men dance and she couldn't deny how hot they looked together. She sipped her martini before smiling as Alex looked at her. Taking another sip, she wondered if she should go join them. Biting her lip gently, she couldn't help but picture what it would be like to be in between those two bodies in more intimate ways. She blushed as those thoughts turned her on.
______________
Blake smiled when he heard Sky and he watched as she undressed. Walking to his closet, he pulled out some clothes and changed into a pair of clean boxers before climbing into bed next to her. He kissed her cheek gently. "Good night love." he whispered as he smiled. Looking up at Matt, he smiled as much as Blake ever smiled. "You coming to bed babe?" he asked.
_____________
Matt looked at the two loves of his lives in their bed and he smiled. "yeah," he said before going and changing. Putting on some pajama pants and a tee-sirt, he slipped into bed on the other side of Sky. Leaning over, he kissed Blake gently before kissing Sky on the forehead. "Good night." he said to both of them.

Daniel glanced over to see Sammie enjoying the show, he smirked over at her before turning back to Alex "Seems like Sammie's enjoying watching us dance." He heard a chuckle and both men looked around, noticing no one was paying them any attention. They got closer and turned so Sammie had a good view before they started grinding against each other. Daniel wondered why it didn't bother him as much to be so close to other dude. He couldn't be gay because he still wanted Sammie really bad, so was he bi?

--

Alex heard Daniel say how they were putting on a show for Sammie and he glanced over to her before the boys started grinding against each other. 'This is for Sammie's benefits' Alex tried to reason but he didn't deny he wasn't having just as much of a good time. He motioned Sammie to come back over and join them.

--

Sky curled up between her men and fell back to sleep, pressed between them but was use to it by now. When she woke up it was mid morning and she yawned. She was pressed up against Matt's back and Blake was spooning her. She noticed they were still asleep and relaxed, she begun to ponder about how they'd come to being in a throuple relationship. How they'd learnt to deal with harassment from their friends and family, and others who didn't understand.
