She pulled back from my lips and screeched as she said, “Oh my God, yes. I love you, Jack.” Her ass fell back on the horn and I let it go to the annoyance of everyone within earshot. I held her to me as tears formed in my eyes. In that moment I realized that if Donna had married me even though she was in love with Priya, I would never be here now and suddenly I was okay with what had happened six months ago. Suddenly, there was a God after all. I was no longer terrified to see Donna or Priya again. They were as much in the past as Anna was.
I drove straight home and to Frankie’s surprise, I coasted on past and stopped in Priya’s driveway. Frankie looked at me and smiled when she realized that I had made some peace. I got out and without hesitation, knocked on Priya’s front door. It took minutes before the inner door opened and when she saw me, she screeched out, “Jack. Oh my God. You’re okay. She threw open the screen door and jumped up in my arms. I was sincerely happy to see her and I hugged her to me and we kissed.
Inside Priya’s house, I heard a thunder of footfalls pounding down the staircase and Donna, dressed in a mid-calf length flannel nightshirt hurried to the door. She was huge with child. She stood at the screen door and cautiously smiled at me. I understood why. I put Priya down and pulled open the screen door and stepped inside toward Donna. She stepped back not sure what I was going to do. I reached out to her and she flinched when I put my hand on her hard, distended stomach. She stepped back away from me. I stepped closer and wrapped my hand around her back and pulled against her resistance until she was pressed up against me. She arched her back so she could still scan my face to determine my intent. I bent forward and gently kissed her. She hesitated with her response and then she threw her arms around my neck and kissed me hard as she burst out crying. She tucked her face into my neck and sobbed as she held me tight.
The screen door opened behind me and Priya and Frankie came in and Priya closed the inner door to keep out the cold. In the middle of Donna’s sobbing she said, “I’m sorry Jack. I’m so sorry. I’ve been terrified that I’d never see you again and then terrified that I would and you’d still hate me. Thank you, God. Oh my God. You’re here.” She pulled my face down for another kiss and Priya joined us in a three-way hug and kiss. Frankie was all smiles as she watched the three of us.
I guess Priya noticed my new physique from the workout therapy, because she was running her hands over the ripped muscles on my back, shoulders and chest and stomach. I’d never been ripped like this before and Frankie sure liked it. I wouldn’t have been surprised if Priya had run her hand down into my pants but that was more Sylvia’s style.
When we separated, I introduced Frankie. Both Priya and Donna were giving her sultry looks. Frankie knew the entire story so she was aware of their sexual proclivities and she was amused by their stolen glances. Donna asked where I had gone and I told her that it didn’t matter and offered no further information.
