"ALL DONE!" I said to myself, as I finished writing down the contract. For the first time in a while, I was content with what I had done. This was going to work. This had to work. Being in love with more than one or maybe even two people was almost nightmarish. Although it might have been hell for me, I felt like they guys were hurting more, fighting harder, and more confused. I felt so guilty about letting my feelings go astray. Their pain was because of me. And I didn't want to let that continue. Once again, I read the title of the contract. It read: --CONTRACT OF 15 DATES-- I called all three of the guys over to Starbocks to get some coffee and tell them about my idea. I explained to them about the concept of the contract. Each person would get to have a date with me fifteen times. There would be an order in which they guys rotated. Unless it is their day, they cannot go on a date with me. Yes, it does sound a little conceted, but in my situation, anything would work. Sam, Ian, and Alek agreed to go along with the plan and sign the contract. It was a total relief because I thought at least one of them would object to the plan. Tomorrow was the first day of the next 45 days of dates. First would be Alek, then Sam, and finally Ian. This was a somewhat crazy idea, but I felt like it was the only way I could be sure about my feelings. When I got home, I went straight to my secret room to think and I'm not going to lie-I went there knowing Alek would show up. At first when he came in, it was awkward. We hadn't really talked since the night we slept together (last night). "About the contract," Alek started,"I'm not going to put any more pressure on you than you already have. I know this must be hard on you. No matter what you do or who you choose, I will ALWAYS be there for you. Because I love you and you're the best thing that's ever happened to me." I don't know what it was, but when he was saying those things, a warm sensation went through my body. As he got closer, I felt myself blushing. My face felt hot-like it was burning. "Uh..." I didn't want to stop him, but there was something stopping me from laying myself out to him. I think it was because Katarina. My whisper of an interjection wasn't heard because he didn't stop coming towards me. At this point I was against the wall. I didn't mean to recoil-I just couldn't help from feeling reluctant. He softly pinned me against the wall, but didn't kiss me at first. Our faces were as close as they could get, side-by-side. "I love you, Rachel. So much. I don't care who you choose or who you love. I will always love you. No matter what you say or do, there is no way to keep me from being with or near you. You're my best friend and my soul mate." He half-whispered, half-talked into my ear. The words were almost hypnotizing. Before I was too locked into what he said, Alek kissed me softly against the wall. Chills ran down my back and my body hungered for more. I pulled him back by his shirt when he started to pull away. My arms loosely hugged his neck as our lips met again and again. I didn't want this to end. I wrapped my legs around his waist as he carried me to the couch. There had always been a huge soft couch in this room and we hadn't figured out why, but right now, I was grateful for it. Alek laid me down onto the couch and pinned me down, not once interupting the kiss. This wasn't enough. I wanted more and in the heat of the moment I started to lift my shirt over my head. This was the night. Or so I thought.
