Three's Company

Chapter Nineteen : The Fat Lady

"What's the news saying now?" Megan asked anxiously.

"They don't know what to make of it. Some of them are saying they're cheating with the same woman. Or you're their personal prostitute. Or they're trying to set up a threesome," Ashley rambled on.

Megan to Mistress Charlie: Your plan wasn't that successful... have you seen the tabloids..?

Mistress Charlie to Megan: Who said that was my whole plan? Us three are going out to eat tonight and then the club. We'll bring a second outfit for the club for you.

Megan's cheeks darkened and Ashley noticed.

"They're taking me out on a date... together."

Megan waited anxiously in the lobby once again. James glanced up from his phone. He had been trying not to look at all the gossip around Megan, but that's really all there was. He put down his phone and cleared his throat.

"Another date?" He asked with a friendly smile.

"Yeah..." she chuckled awkwardly.

"Well, I hope this one is better than the last," he said sympathetically.

The man who brought Megan her dress came in the lobby. "Ma'am, the car is waiting."

"Oh, right. See ya James," Megan threw a wave over her shoulder as she followed the man in the suit.

Megan was wearing ripped, faded jeans and a black t shirt with black lacey underclothes. They had told her to dress casual, so she did. Megan stepped out of the car and breathed in the fresh air to try and cool her nerves. She had been taken to a Mexican restaurant called La Señora Gorda. There were paparazzi already lined up at the door who were taking pictures of her. They swarmed her and she shielded her eyes from the bright flashes.

The man who had picked her up, Chris, stepped in front of her and pushed through the crowd with her close behind. She let out a breath of relief once they made it inside and then her anxiety spiked even higher as she saw Charlie and Lucas waiting for her in a booth. Charlie spotted her and waved her over. Megan took a deep breath and walked over to their table. Charlie scooted over and patted the seat next to her. Megan smiled and took the seat.

"I'm so glad you came," Charlie said, pulling the girl closer to her.

"Me too," Lucas said.

"Yeah... look Im sorry for pretty much ghosting you, I just-" Megan began.

"No, It's fine. I should have been more considerate of your feelings and how this all would effect you," Lucas told her gently.

They ate and laughed and a few kisses were exchanged. Charlie and Lucas stuck to soda and told Megan that she was only to have two alcoholic drinks that night, they didn't want her judgement clouded. Megan didn't put up a fight, she wasn't a big drinker anyway. They took some pictures of the three of them for the Internet to have and Charlie posted them before they left.

"Next stop the club!" Charlie said excitedly.
