Bailey turned back toward the boys. “I am glad you both are here,” she said. “I’ve missed you.”
“I missed you,” said Andrew before his brother could make a remark. “I’m sorry I haven’t called or messaged you. Life just got so crazy.”
Bailey nodded. “Yes, it did,” she said. “And it’s fine. We all change after high school, but we’re back together now!”
Andrew nodded. “I agree, but I still feel awful,” he said.
Bailey played with his necktie. “Well, I think someone has fallen into their own money,” she said playfully. “How about taking a girl out to lunch to catch up.”
A sly smile flashed over Andrew’s face. His eyes darted to his brother for a moment who clearly did not like her suggestion.
“Yeah, I think that’s a great idea,” said Andrew. “I want to know everything.”
“Great!” said Bailey. She turned around and looked at Jacob. “And you’re coming too right?” Andrew’s smirk was wiped off his face and slapped onto Jacob’s. Jacob looked as if he had just hit the lottery.
“Oh!” he said. “Sure, I’ve got no plans today.”
Andrew took a step forward. “Are you sure?” he asked. “I mean, Bailey and I are clearly on vacation, but don’t you have work around here to get done?”
“Actually,” said Jacob. “Dad gave me the weekend off so I wouldn’t have an excuse to miss his birthday.”
Andrew looked at Frank. “Dad?” he said, warily. “Is that really the wisest decision now? Especially after what we talked about this morning?” Frank waved his hand away.
“I want your brother to be well rested for the party,” he said. “People are coming from all over town to this thing and I don’t want people to think your brother is some sort of black sheep of the family.”
Andrew glanced at Jacob who kept his smile. A moment passed before Andrew smiled back and turned his attention back to Bailey.
“If you want it to be the three musketeers again, then let’s do it.”
*****
Andrew waited by his rental car for Jacob, so they could go and pick up Bailey. As usual, his brother was less than prompt.
Sometimes, it amazed him that he and Jacob had been such good friends. After they got college, however, things changed. While Andrew was not about to throw away his shot, Jacob had gotten sucked into the party lifestyle at college. Night after night, Jacob would come stumbling into their dorm room with some half-naked coed that he intended to screw. Andrew could live with that, but it was his attitude about their inheritance that truly made him mad.
To Jacob, their parents’ wealth rightfully belonged to he and his brother. There was no point in going to college if you already had a spot on easy street. Andrew couldn’t abide by that. Especially after hearing that their father had been diagnosed with leukemia. Andrew knew people handled bad news differently, but he never imagined that his brother would be so insensitive. He stopped talking to his brother and not too long after that, Jacob dropped out of school and ran back home to Sawyer Bay.
Andrew was furious and refused to speak to his brother after that. What made matters worse was that he could not understand why his parents allowed him to stay. No doubt he had filled them with lies. As a result, Andrew worked his ass off to make his own money in business so that his father could see that if anyone was going to inherit the resort, it should be Andrew, the responsible, hardworking son who stuck to the plan and saw it through.
Jacob came out of the front lobby wearing what Andrew could only assume was what he wore to the nightclub, or to meet some lowlife drug dealer.
“Were you waiting long?” asked Jacob. Without saying a word, Andrew put his sunglasses on and proceeded into the car. He was hoping Bailey would just stay until lunch, but she insisted on dropping her things off at the apartment first.
As the two brothers sat in silence, Andrew let his mind drift to Bailey. Admittedly, he’d always had a crush on Bailey. She was sweet, they had similar interests and she was incredibly pretty. Today, however, he saw a drop dead gorgeous woman that he could not wait to see again, even if that meant spending more time with his good for nothing brother.
He was immediately smitten with Bailey when he saw her again after all these years. Truthfully, he let her out of his life, just as he had all things that reminded him of his youth. He did not want to be reminded of the time when he, his brother, and Bailey were the best of friends, his brother wasn’t a dead beat and his father wasn’t sick.
“So, what exactly are your intentions with Bailey?” asked Jacob.
Andrew sneered at his brother. “Can we not talk about this?”
Jacob smiled. “Why?” he asked. “It’s a simple question. You didn’t seem too excited about me tagging along.”
“Oh! Was it that obvious?” asked Andrew. “Besides, what’s it to you? It’s not like you stand a chance anyway.”
Jacob laughed heartily. “That’s rich!” he exclaimed. “You know I get way more women than you on a nightly basis.”
“Ah! So you are a man whore,” he said. “I thought Mom was just joking when she said that.”
Jacob turned up his lip. “Mom never said that,” he pouted.
Andrew shrugged, “Believe what you want,” he said. “But just know that you should probably get tested for STIs soon if you plan on inheriting anything.”
Jacob shook his head. “I love when we get to have these lovely chats,” he said. “Makes me remember why I stay away from New York.”
“Look,” said Andrew. “Just don’t ruin anything, alright? Bailey is our friend, first and foremost. If something should happen today, so be it.”
They pulled into a parking spot just outside of Bailey’s apartment. Andrew began to send a text to Bailey when Jacob looked over at his brother. “I’ll make a deal with you,” he said. “Whoever she seems to be feeling the most gets to spend the weekend with her. Loser has to stay away.”
Andrew looked at Jacob. It was clear that Jacob was serious. While he didn’t want to make Bailey a prize to be won, he was not about to lose out on something closer than friendship. Especially to Jacob.
“Fine,” he said. “You’re on.”
Just as they shook hands, Bailey came down the steps towards the car. She smiled and waved at the two boys whom she had no idea would be vying for her affection this afternoon.

The place to go for lunch in Sawyer Bay, especially after the age of 21, was Cherry’s, a bar and grill that was a favorite with the locals. When the three were younger, they would daydream about what it would be like to go in and sample the forty or so taps. Today was the day to live out that dream.
Despite being lunchtime, Cherry’s was not too crowded. They were seated on the deck next to the water. They ordered two pitchers of a local brew and enjoyed the sunshine and breeze. Bailey breathed in the salt air.
“God, I miss this,” she said. “I don’t think I realized how much I missed that smell until I moved to Atlanta.”
“How do you like it?” asked Andrew as he took a sip of beer.
“I like it just fine,” she said with a smile. “The people are nice, but nothing like here.”
Andrew chuckled. “That’s the exact opposite back in New York,” he said. “I can’t tell you how many times I have to curse out someone on the street.”
Bailey beamed. She always imagined Andrew being successful later on in life and he did not disappoint.
“So,” Jacob chimed in. “Are you seeing anyone?”
Andrew choked a little on his beer. “Wow,” he said. “Really, dude?”
Jacob frowned. “What?” he asked. “A man can’t ask his best female friend if there is someone special in her life?” Bailey giggled.
“Its fine, Drew,” she said. “No. I’m not seeing anyone. I’m a bit of a homebody still. Even my girlfriends are worried about me.”
Jacob shook his head. “That’s a shame,” he said. “A pretty girl like you needs a man on you
r arm.” Bailey blushed. The line was a bit forced, but it did the trick.
“Yeah, I guess,” she said sheepishly. Andrew slugged him in the arm which made Bailey giggle more. “What about you two? Anyone I should know about?”
“Not me,” said Andrew promptly. “But Jacob here had a girl over last night.”
Bailey looked at him in surprise.
“Oh?” she asked, trying to appear excited for her friend. “Is that true, Jake? You have a girlfriend?”
Jacob laughed nervously. “I wouldn’t call her my girlfriend,” he said.
“No?” asked Andrew. “What would you call her then?”
Jacob turned and looked Andrew square in the eyes. Bailey could see that Andrew was trying to goad Jacob into something and, as usual, Jacob was ready to meet the challenge.
“She was a fuck buddy,” he said. Bailey snorted at his bluntness.
“Jake!” she said embarrassed. Jacob turned and shrugged.
“What?” he asked. “Bailey, please, we’re all adults here. You mean to tell me you’ve never had a one night stand?” Bailey’s face turned a deeper shade of red, but she smiled coyly.
“I suppose,” she said. “…maybe once or twice.”
Jacob laughed and took a swig of his beer. “Did you hear that, Andrew?” he asked. “Bailey’s had a couple of flings. It’s no big deal.”
Bailey threw up her hands. “Hey! It’s not like I do it often!” she exclaimed. The three laughed, but she could see that Andrew was a bit alienated by her comment. She knew Andrew was a lot more straitlaced than Jacob. She reached over and took his hand. When she had his attention, she gave him a wink.
“Don’t worry,” she said. “I’m still that same nerdy girl who used to hang around you guys.” Andrew smiled kindly and took her hand. Bailey felt so comfortable holding his hand. Talking to both of them was so natural, but it seemed like whoever she showed favor towards, the other would be unhappy. She quickly let his hand go and went to reading the menu.
She didn’t dare look up to see Andrew’s reaction to her taking back her hand, but she knew that it was probably better to be neutral. The rest of lunch went as normally as she could have hoped. The three caught up on the past few years. On occasion, one or the other twin would open an opportunity to flirt with her, but she quickly shut it down and changed the subject.
However, she could not deny how good it felt to be flirted with by these two guys. Her friends would take her out to pick up guys all the time, but they all would eventually go after her more morally ambiguous friends. She gave in a few times when she had a bit of a dry spell, but she had one too many walk of shames. She wanted a relationship no matter what she told her friends and family.
When lunch was over, the twins drove her back to her mother’s tiny apartment. “Did you want to meet up later?” asked Jacob. “You have go to see my nightclub!”
Bailey chuckled. “I still can’t believe you have a nightclub,” she said.
Jacob shrugged. “Seeing is believing,” he said. “How about it? I’ll even get you in VIP!”
Bailey knew she could not keep sparing the other’s feelings forever. “Sure,” she said. “Sounds fun.”
Jacob beamed. “Sweet,” he said. “It’s a date!” Andrew rolled his eyes and approached Bailey to say goodbye.
He wrapped her in his large arms before whispering, “When you get bored, just text me and I’ll pick you up.” Bailey giggled and gave him a small squeeze. They broke apart and Andrew made his way back to the car.
Jacob turned around and smiled. “Don’t worry, bro,” he said. “She and I are going to have a great time!”
*****
Bailey took a taxi to the nightclub. Jacob went there earlier, wanting to make sure the place was presentable for her. Bailey could sense there was a great game at play between Andrew and Jacob. Any other day, she would have shut them both down, curled up with a good book and called it a night. However, she could not help but feel a strange attraction for these two men who as boys were almost like brothers to her.
She didn’t have much to wear in terms of nightclub attire, but she figured that a skirt and top would suffice. She approached the door and was greeted by a bouncer. As she went to take her ID out, Jacob came through the door and greeted her with a hug.
“I knew you wouldn’t stand me up!” he exclaimed. Bailey could smell the booze on him. She found the smell a bit intoxicating as it mingled with his natural scent. Jacob waved at the bouncer who nodded and opened the door for them. As they entered, Bailey was greeted by loud music that she swore would have knocked her on her butt.
The club was lavish to say the least. While everything around Sawyer Bay catered to families and the elderly, Jacob had created an oasis for young people and the young at heart. He turned to Bailey and smiled at her.
“Isn’t this great?!” he asked.
“You own this?!” she asked impressed. Jacob nodded; a smug smile across his face. She could not deny that she wasn’t a huge club girl, but part of her was simply impressed by what her old friend had accomplished. The two walked over to the bar and waved over a bartender.
“What’s up Jacob?” the bartender called. Jacob pointed at Bailey.
“This is my oldest friend in the world,” he yelled. “She gets all the drinks she wants for free!” Bailey looked at him and shook her head.
“Jake, I couldn’t!” she cried over the music. Jacob laughed.
“Bailey, please,” he said. “We haven’t spoken in years. Let me make up for all the drinks I never bought you all that time!” Bailey turned her lip up in mock annoyance.
Jacob playfully rolled his eyes in response. “Tell you what,” he said as he gestured for two drinks from the bartender. “Let’s get our drinks, head on the dancefloor and you give me that dance I was supposed to get back at prom.”
Bailey laughed and nodded. “Deal,” she said.
Jacob grabbed the bottles of beer and handed one to Bailey. They both clinked their bottles together before going out onto the dancefloor. Bailey may have been a homebody, but she was no stranger to the dance floor. She moved her hips to the rhythm of the music; slow at first, but soon began to pick up the pace as the bass shook the entire club. The more she danced, the more relaxed she became. At some point, Jacob had placed his hand on her hip and brought her close to him.
Bailey looked up at her friend and smiled. Jacob returned the smile. It was as if they were in the middle of the dance floor by themselves and for the first time, Bailey caught herself getting lost in her friend’s eyes. From the moment she had set eyes on him this morning, she had been attracted to him. She didn’t know exactly what that meant, but as she moved her body sensually against his, she was pretty sure she was going to figure it out.
Jacob leaned his head closer to hers. She slowed her body down and let her lips part. She was his and she wanted him to take her. Jacob closed the gap between them and locked his lips against hers. A soft moan left Bailey’s mouth. Jacob’s lips tasted like tobacco and whiskey and it only excited her more. Jacob was the bad boy she was attracted to. She wondered to herself how long this had been a feeling for her. She remembered finding the Nelson boy’s cute, but she had written off ever starting a relationship with either of them. They were like brothers then.
His tongue had slipped into her mouth and she suckled on it immediately. It had been so long since she had been kissed or held this way that she was not ready to break away just yet. Their bodies still swayed to the music as she felt his rough fingers trace over her stomach.
Bailey broke the kiss, startled. Jacob had a look of regret on his face for being forward with his friend, but smiled when he saw the mischievous glint in her eye. Jacob took her hand and made a beeline for a room next to the DJ booth. He opened the door which lead into a small office. It was not much to look at. There was a lot of trash everywhere and it would seem that it had not been dusted in years. But Bailey knew exactly why she was there and she did not want to throw aw
ay the opportunity over a little dust.
She leaned against the desk and looked at Jacob seductively. The more time that passed, the more excited she became.
Jacob chuckled. “I can’t believe I’m doing this,” he said. “I mean… this is insane.” Bailey lunged forward and kissed him deeply. Kissing him again just felt right to her and she could not get enough. She reached down and began to undo his belt in order to unzip his pants. Jacob cupped Bailey’s face to bring her closer. He sucked on her bottom lip hungrily as she reached into his pants to grab ahold of his swelling member.
Jacob moaned softly in her mouth. “That feels so good,” he whispered. Bailey smiled against his lips. She slowly began to stroke him; feeling him harden in her hand. He felt so full in her hands that in no time he was completely hard. Bailey slid down to her knees in front of Jacob as she undid his pants. Jacob leaned against the door to his office and pressed the button in order to lock it. Bailey pressed her lips against his penis; making him gasp in ecstasy. The whole moment felt so surreal for both of them, but the prospect of what was to come made them want to keep going.
Jacob let his hand fall onto her curly auburn hair as he pulled her onto him. Bailey opened her mouth and let his hard cock slip past her lips. She slowly bobbed her head up and down his shaft; each time pulling him further and further in. Jacob’s breathing grew shallower each time Bailey slurped him up. The more she sucked his cock, the more pressure he applied to the back of her head.
Bailey’s pussy began to gush the more she sucked. Her hands trailed across her breasts. Jacob reached down and cupped one of her large breasts in her hands. Bailey groaned as she pushed her chest into his hands. Jacob smiled as he played with her nipples. His fingers dug into her skin, setting her skin on fire.
Jacob held out his hand and stood her up. Bailey turned around and bent over his work desk; her skirt hiking up over her ass. Jacob moved her thong out of the way and pressed his hardened cock against her pussy lips. She could feel her juices trickling down her thighs. Jacob was about to push into her pussy when he stopped himself.
