Subject: Meeting Love: Joey & Drew

A few people have asked for more of Joey and Drew, so here it is.  Fair
warning, remember Joey is bi.


I had a great time at the wedding.  It was so nice being able to be
somewhere with Drew and not having to worry about what people would say.
Not that Heath and Lance didn't have anything to say, I mean, it was a
little surprising for them.  I am glad that they didn't totally freak out
though.  I was really afraid of Lance's reaction.  He is my best friend,
and Brianna's godfather, he is such a large factor in my life.  I know he
is scared about what the future will hold, but who isn't.  Brianna sort of
understands what is going on.  She knows that her mommy and I are having a
problem and that even though we aren't living together, we still love each
other.  She also knows how important Drew is to me.  He has always been a
part of her life.

Speaking of Brianna, I am so glad that the Lindsay kids decided to have a
sleepover with Brianna and Leyton tonight, in Heath and Lance's house.
Don't get me wrong, I love my daughter, but I just wanted to have some time
alone with Drew.  He and I really need to talk about what we want and where
we want to go.

"Babe, where are you?" Drew called out from the entrance of our hotel
suite.

"I'm in the living room hun.  Where did you go?"

"I went to CVS to restock some essentials."

He came and sat on the couch next to me, and pulled me into his arms.  I
gave him a light kiss, and settled into his body.

Essentials, he means condoms and lube.  We so need to talk.  "Oh, okay.
Aren't you exhausted, it's after ten and it was a long day?"

"I am a little tired, but I was referring to shampoo, not condoms Joe."

Okay, now I was embarrassed.  Blushing, I replied "I know that."

"Yeah right Joey.  I know you better than that."

"Andrew," I started.

"Wow, this must be important if you're calling me Andrew."  He said sitting
up and pushing me away slightly.

"It is."  I started to cry.  "What are we going to do?  What am I going to
do?  How is this going to work?"

"Babe, stop crying.  We are going to handle this the same way that we
always have.  I know that I mean something special to you and I really hope
you know the how much I love you.  I will never get in between you and
Kelly, and I will always do my best to make sure that Brianna is always
taken care of to the best of my ability.  I would love to become part of
your family, but I know that I will have to take whatever place in your
life that you are comfortable to give me."

"Really?" I asked hopefully.

"Joe, I have always loved you.  When we were kids exploring together, I
always hoped that you would decide that I was what you wanted.  It almost
killed me when you and Kelly became a couple.  And then you came back to me
saying that we could still have sex together, and I was willing to take any
part of you.  I knew that Kelly didn't understand, but she rather have you
cheat with another man than a woman.  I was on the tour crew, and she knew
that I could take care of your needs.  She and I talked about the situation
a lot."

"You did?"  I interjected.  I was so confused.  I had no idea that Kelly
and Drew had talked about me.

"We never talked details, but yeah, we talked a lot.  She was even planning
a threesome for us all, before she decided that she just couldn't do it."

"No way.  I just can't picture Kelly even thinking of doing that for me."

"Joe, she loves you.  She would do anything to make you happy.  Just like I
would."

"This changes things a little."

"It does.  Are you now ready to try again with her?"

"But Drew, I'm just not sexually attracted to her."

"Are you sure, or are you suppressing it, because you see how happy
HeathRiley and Lance are together and you want to follow, and then surpass
like you did with the whole acting thing?"

I was floored.  Could he be right, did I want to follow in Lance's
footsteps?  Now to be fair, I was doing movies before Lance, but he starred
in one before I did, and then I had to be in as many as I possibly could.
But Drew is right, I always did feel like I was in competition with Lance.
Not that he ever felt that way, but I really did.

"Drew you are right.  How could I be so stupid?"

"Joey, you are not stupid, just a little blind to how your own mind works."
"But what do I do now.  I don't want to lose you or Kelly."

"Maybe we can work something out between the three of us.  I'll be right
back."

Drew went into one of the three bedrooms in the suite.  I had reserved that
particular type of suite, because I wanted Brianna to have her own space,
as well as protect her from knowing that Drew and I sleep together.  I'm
pretty sure that she knows, but I wanted to attempt to keep up appearances.

A few minutes later Drew came back out of the bedroom.

"I ordered us a light snack from room service, it should be up in a bit,"
he said.

"You could have done that from the phone in here."

"I had to make another quick call too."

"Oh."  I have to say I was really curious.

There was a knock at the door.

"Wow that was quick," I said, getting up to answer the door.

I was shocked.  "Kelly?  What are you doing here?"  I looked back at Drew
and he had a small blush on his face.  I then moved back to let Kelly into
the suite.  She walked into the living room and sat next to Drew on the
couch.  I sat down across from them on the other couch.

"Drew called me a couple days ago.  He told me how much he wanted to fix
things between the two of us, and suggested that I meet you guys here.  He
and I had a long talk, and I think that we came up with a few solutions if
you are willing.  Which I'm guessing you are, because he called me to come
to your room," Kelly said nervously.

I couldn't hold back any longer.  I took her into my arms and kissed her.
It was a kiss filled with hunger and need.  I was so confused.  How could I
love two people so completely?  I wanted to be with both of them, but that
is so unfair to the two of them.  I looked to Drew for guidance.

"Joe, Kelly and I both know how you feel.  I know this is hard for you, but
it doesn't have to be."

"Drew is right.  He and I have thought this through.  We want us to be a
family, the three of us and Brianna.  I know what you are thinking, and it
is going to be tough for all of us at first.  But Drew and I know that
there is just so much love in your heart, and that you need to be able to
share it."

"Kelly is right.  We want to start a new life together, sharing you."

"But how is this going to work?  And are you really sure that you both want
this?  I just don't understand how you guys are both willing to share me
like that, and is it really fair for either of you?"

"Joe-Bear, we don't have all the details worked out yet, but we are going
to make this work.  Neither one of us is willing to give you up, and it
seems like moving in together is the best solution.  But we won't just be
roommates, we will truly be a family," Kelly explained.

"So is Drew moving into our house?  Where would he sleep, we don't have any
extra bedrooms."

"Sorry babe, but no I'm not moving into your house.  We are going to look
for a new house.  We're starting fresh and Kelly and I decided that we
would start with a new home for the four of us."

"I'm still confused; do you guys get to take turns?  One night on, one off,
or is it every other week?"

"Joey, we told you we don't have all the details worked out yet.  We are
going to take this day by day.  Tomorrow morning the three of us are going
to take Bri ice skating on Frog Pond as a family," Kelly said.  "And we
will go from there.  There will be an adjustment period to see how we all
fit together, but on the other hand we have been close friends for over ten
years.  We will make this work."

"God, I love you both so much for doing this for me.  I could never choose
between you guys, I love you both equally.  I really hope we can figure
this out.  I just wonder what the guys would say."

"Maybe it's not such a great idea to tell them yet.  Let's give it some
time before you start shouting it from the rooftops," Drew said jokingly.

I stood up and moved around the coffee table to their side.  I took one
each of their hands in mine and pulled them up.  I then threw my arms
around the both of them, holding on for dear life.  I started sobbing.
Both Drew and Kelly kissed me on the cheek, slowly making their way to my
lips.  When they realized that they couldn't move any further, because the
other was in the way, they kissed each other.  I was shocked.

"Drew?  You don't like girls."

"I like Kelly, and that is why I am willing to do this for you."

It was so hot watching them kiss; I immediately sobered up and got hard.
My two loves, kissing each other.  It was at that moment that the doorbell
rang.  Damn, I forgot that Drew had ordered room service.

Drew stopped the kiss, and went to accept the order.  I stood there
watching my wife recover from one of Drew's kisses.  She had that dreamy
look that I'm pretty sure I also get.

"Kelly, are you sure this is okay?"

"Joe-Bear, stop worrying.  You are starting to sound like Heath.  We will
make this be okay."  She ran into my arms.  "I can't lose you Joseph, you
are my life.  And I will make Drew part of that."

Drew came back with champagne and strawberries.  It was now obvious to me
that his plan tonight was not only to get Kelly and I back together, but to
start our relationship together as a threesome.

"Hun, I know where you are going with this, but honestly, I just can't
handle getting into that tonight.  I am emotionally drained never mind
exhausted.  Would either of you mind if I just went to bed?"

I saw Kelly and Drew share a look.

"That's fine, as long as we can share the bed with you.  No funny stuff, we
promise," Kelly said.

"I would love that."

The three of us got ready for bed.  Kelly obviously didn't take any
sleeping stuff with her when she came to our room, so she borrowed an old
t-shirt of mine.  Drew and I stripped to our boxers.  I climbed in the
middle of the bed, with Drew on my left and Kelly on my right.  I was lying
on my back, and they each lay on their side of my chest.  I put my arms
around them both, and gave them each a goodnight kiss.  It was the first
night in a long time that I had slept through the entire night.

The next morning went wonderfully.  There was absolutely no tension.  Drew
had said that he and Kelly talked a lot, and they really must have.  They
were more comfortable that I was.  We picked up Brianna (who was very
excited to see her mommy), and went ice skating on Frog Pond.  While we
were there I got a call from Lance who said that he wanted everyone to meet
up for lunch at Durgin Park.  I felt it was unfair to bring both Kelly and
Drew without warning him and HR.  I told him the whole story of what
happened the night before, and he was a little concerned, but had no
problem with us all coming to lunch.  I called Justin and told him that we
would meet him and the rest of the guys at the Arlington T station, and
head to the restaurant with them.  That would give me some time to tell
them what was going on.

Drew, Kelly, Brianna and I waited inside the station until we saw a train
with the guys on it.  I wasn't aware that they were bringing Leyton, but at
least she could distract Bri, while I talked with Chris, Justin and JC.

The guys were surprised, but accepting.  We missed our stop because Justin
said that he was positive that it was the one after.  He was wrong, so we
got to lunch a little late.

We made it to the restaurant, and I looked around the room.  I saw Lance
and Heath with two other men and a little girl about Bri's age.  I wonder
what's going on here.

"Hey Lance, HR!"  I called out as I made my way across the room.
