Al stopped in his tracks when Sandra accused him of being shy and scared. But was it true ? No he wasn't but he has no idea how to explain it to her when Nic started to explain why he said that. Half of it kind of make sense to him, with him growling at Nic and the little act of possessiveness each of them was showing towards her. When Nic was finished with his words he turned to face her, his eyes looking directly into hers, waiting and looking for right words to come to him.<br/><br/>"No Sandra I'm not running because I'm shy. I'm running because I don't want to lose this friendship with any of the guys and you. I know if anyone of us had asked you out, you would've gone with him but we didn't, neither one of us because the other would feel betrayed. So I wants it to stay like this, well I wanted to, since it's out in the open." he shrugged his shoulders, "and than......." trailing off his eyes turned to Nic when he started to speak and interrupted his words only to add his absurd idea of dating her, well share her with each other. "What the hell Nic ? what are you doing these days ? Writing erotica instead of your comics ?" he asked, his voice full of ridicule for his suggestion, which a deep down part of Alistair knew was the only thing they can do, Share her but he isn't going to admit it in front of everyone, unless they all agree on it. "I know it's the only solution and arrangement which will work for us without breaking this friendship of ours but Menage, it doesn't work out in this real world. It's not a novel where we all in accordance will know how to please her simultaneously in the bed." Alistair started to look from Nic to Dec and then Sandra, to see if they were with Nic on it.<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>
