Chapter Thirty One | For The Love Of Friendship

2022-01-10 04:38:33❋ Erin ❋
Sawyer was running late; Not the ‘Oh, I’ll only be five minutes!’ kind of late, either.
I’ve been waiting in her pitch black living room for over an hour. My buddy's punctuality hasn’t ever been great, but it usually doesn’t suck massive dinosaur dick like this!
I dropped everything when Soy asked me to come over; The least she could do was be here at the agreed upon time. UGH. Okay, so I’d been lounging around my apartment eating Cheetos and watching Friends reruns when she called, but that’s beside the point! Ditching comfy threads for mom jeans and a bra after eight P.M will be deemed illegal after this evening—signed by Erin Triem, personally.
She didn’t answer when I knocked, nor did I see her aquamarine sports car anywhere. So I just let myself in with the spare key hidden underneath Sawyer’s potted Petunia flowers neatly positioned on the left. Bored outta my mind ever since.
I knew

❋ Erin ❋ “...Sauce?” I kept my wary gaze on the back of Sawyer’s white blonde head as she quickly walked to her freezer, probably for alcohol. “You did break up with Kate...right?” When my best friend turned back around, she was clutching onto a half empty bottle of cold patron and popping the cap off. Well THAT doesn’t bode well for my assumption. Sawyer’s blue eyes flickered guiltily as she leaned against her fridge. They met mine for a second, then dropped to the tiled floor with shame. “You’re right, dude; It doesn’t take hours to end a relationship...so what do you think?” Suddenly it all clicked into place. The messy mop for hair, slightly rumpled clothing, and glowing porcelain skin. Not to mention the fact that it’s past midnight now and she’s just barely getting home. Damn, Soy. You had one job...and you literally fucked yourself right out of it. “I don’t believe this...”

◦◦ Sawyer ◦◦“Who knew we’d eventually get to this point, hmm?” I simpered at Blythe, who sat up straight across from me and sipped on an ice water garnished with lemon. Her eyes, light as they were stern, made me think of the whiskey she was so fond of. “Sitting at a proper restaurant...about to eat something other than bar food or greasy steak sandwiches.”“Indeed.” Blythe’s confirmation came deep and velvety. That one word sent a chill racing down my spine, making me shiver slightly while I observed my surroundings with approval. "Nonetheless, I'm overjoyed you accepted the invitation." The feeling is definitely mutual, Blythe. My eyes wandered, but the smile that crept up was intended for the striking conductor continuing our small talk. "Pleasures all mine." When asked in advance about where I’d like to have dinner, I told Blythe I loved seafood or a good sirloin. Regar

♬ Blythe ° It was a shame I didn’t bring any ropes or my strap along on this business trip. Of course I probably would have laughed at the mere idea of meeting anyone in Naples, even for a series of temporarily good times. Yet here she is, little Sawyer (who at 5′9 isn’t ‘little’ to many, but is in comparison to me) with her gorgeous porcelain ass in the air, awaiting my cruel attention. I'll have to remedy my actions before packing for my next flight back to Naples next month. Even without restraints, I remained in control of her trembling body. Sawyer playfully attempted to put up a fight while I was trying to access the sensitivity of her ultra soft skin so...she had to be punished, naturally. Fern used to cower at just the displeasure in my voice, and other submissive women who have served me before her quickly learned their places. Miss Driscoll....she’s different. This exciting bundle of raw nerves is squ

My first instinct might have been to feel badly for her, because she’s not Dani’s type at all. Too small. Scrawny, doesn’t look like she’d be much fun in the bedroom.But my EX was smiling like an idiot, and from here she actually looked engaged in whatever bright orange bikini was saying.

❋ Erin ❋ “Yes mama! I lock up shop every night. Don’t worry so much.” “You know I ALWAYS worry, you patient girl.” My Italian bred mother, Kritzia, sighed dramatically over the phone as I was picking up my bedroom. It was late, and I just wanted to snuggle in bed with a good romantic comedy after the long day I had. Among the most enjoyable activities that went down during my shift were bitchy customers, running out of our specialty coffee flavor three hours before closing, and two call outs. Ugh, I need a new job like nobody’s business but I’d never leave. They took good care of me all things considered. “Hmmhmmm, I do.” Throwing my dirty uniform in the hamper, I slipped into a white spaghetti strap top and some grey joggers. “If worrying were a sport, you’d be headed for the big times ma.” I grew up with an overbearing Tuscan mother and a military father from Amherst, New Hampshire. We moved around a ton thanks to The Marine Corps,

The Butterfly Knot A Word From The Author
Thank you ALL for hanging in there while I finished “The Butterfly Knot.” What a hell ride it has been, let me tell you. I remember when I first started writing this novel. My life was so much different back in September of 2020. I was involved in a poly triad, and realized I didn’t fit into their equation. I’m one of the original partners, and ended my seven year relationship so my EXs could be together. This book was supposed to be dedicated to them; Thus I’ve changed the ending at least 89 times. It’s taken me almost two years to publish this novel, making it my longest project to date. I started it September of 2020, and finished writing the Epilogue May of 2022. That said, I still feel polyamorous relationships are every bit as valid as monogamous ones. Honesty is your best policy, as Sawyer learned the hard way. ‘The Butterfly Knot’ wrote itself. Ironically enough a book that should have included intimate details about my own experience in a triad aren’t found in the script.
The Butterfly Knot Epilogue
✎ Third Person POV ➳ Four months later, Hayes Concert Hall “Good evening! Here’s your program; Enjoy the show. Hello! Take a program ma’am, yep, follow the lights down that hall over there—” An enthusiastic young usher in his early twenties was handing out gorgeous black concert pamphlets written in elegant white cursive text faster than he could speak, thrilled to share everyone’s excited anticipation. Several sentiments of thanks were passed back and forth. Hayes’ grand entrance room was the only brightly lit space in the building. A soft, classical ballad hummed from every hidden overhead speaker—welcoming one and all into it’s timeless essence. Sawyer was next in line, and she plucked a program with two fingers and a thin smile. Purchasing a onyx pantsuit for this occasion, the fashion obsessed snow white blonde stood out from the crowd with stunning gold jewelry and the right pair of ivory pointy toed kitten heels. She wore Blythe’s collar proudly while out and about, always

Author’s note: My last memo (on Chapter Thirty-Nine) didn’t post for some reason, so I’d like to add it here. The last two installments (Chapter Forty and Epilogue) of ‘The Butterfly Knot’ will be told from the third person to adequately cover all of my characters’ feelings, thoughts, ECT. They will also be a bit longer, as the last few chapters in my novels traditionally are. So sit back and please, leave a comment or review if you’re so inclined at the end! *** ✎ Third Person POV ➳ Jesse Giusti was well beyond furious at this point. He impulsively showed up at Erin’s apartment complex fifteen minutes ago with a plan; Confront his former side piece after she oh so eloquently left that damn trash bag chalk full of unfaithful endeavors for his distraught wife, Adela, to find. That led to a detailed email search and seemingly endless interrogation session that lasted late into the prior evening. Through mindless screaming and tears of anguish, Adele left with their school aged
