Lance let his hands fall away from Justin as he watched Josh stand in the doorway. "Josh, I'm..." Josh held up his hand as he walked into the room further. "Lance, don't even try to get yourself out of this one. I saw what you two were doing. I heard what you two were talking about." Lance took a step forward and reached out his hand towards Josh. He had never meant for Josh to find out about Justin. Especially not like this. If Josh had to know, then he wanted to be the one to tell him. But instead, Josh knew and he had found out in the worst possible way. When Lance's hand landed on Josh's arm, Josh jerked away and turned towards Justin. "So since my boyfriend didn't deem it important enough to tell me about you two why don't you tell me. When did you two fuck?" Lance looked between the two men gasping at Josh's words. "Don't be shocked, Lance. I sort of expected you had slept with someone else. In fact, I almost was certain you had, but I didn't know who and didn't know when exactly." Josh turned back to Justin. "So tell me buddy? When did you and Lance meet up?" Justin sighed looking to Lance for a second before turning to Josh. "About six months ago." "That night you were gone all night, right, Lance?' Lance nodded. He moved toward Josh again. "Listen, I can explain." Josh shrugged his shoulders. "No, you can't. You meet some guy. I don't know even know where, and you go and fuck him that night. Then come home to me. Spend the last six months trying to make things work between us. Then the guy that you had this one night stand with comes back, and you want to make it a second night. Do I got this pretty much right so far?" Lance stood silent. He couldn't speak. He couldn't find the words that would this all okay. There weren't any maybe. He looked back and forth between Josh and Justin wishing he would have told Josh about that night before. "Why did you even come back? Why did go through the last six months working on us? Rebuilding our relationship on a foundation of lies." Josh moved to sit on the couch and lowered his head onto his hands. Lance sat down next to him. "Cause I love you, Josh. I didn't want to give up on us. Every couple goes through problems, and I knew we could fix ours." Josh looked up. "Do you still love me?" Lance looked up at Justin before turning back to Josh and answering. "Yes, I do." Josh sighed. "Then choose, Lance. Do you want this relationship to continue or do you want to end it and go with Justin? You can't have us both." Josh paused as he reached up to touch Lance's cheek. "I don't want to give up on us either. I know I should because you lied to me, but you love me and I love you. We can work past this. If you want to that is." Lance looked at the man sitting next to him. The man he had loved for almost three years. Josh meant everything to him. Justin was great, and maybe if they had met at another time things could have gone differently. He loved Josh. "I want us to work." Josh smiled and breated a soft sigh of relief. "Good." Lance looked up to find Justin to find him gone. He looked towards the doorway, but Justin was gone. He heard the front door close a moment and sighed. Justin was gone. Why did that bother him so much? continue menu
