THIRTY
Adam composed himself and turned around when he heard the door open. Tim ran through the door crushing Adam in a hug. He pulled back, looked him up and down and then hugged him again. Before pulling away a second time he gave Adam a passionate kiss that lasted longer than it probably should have. He took Adam's hand in his and then turned to the guys. "What the hell guys? Adam is fine. Why would you make me think that something is wrong?"
Rob, Chance, and Austin each sighed before Austin spoke. "Tim, would you please sit down?"
Tim sat on the couch and pulled Adam down beside him. When Adam didn't seem to want to speak Austin gave him a push. "Adam would you care to explain to Tim why we are here?"
Adam turned to Tim, "We are all here because Austin can't keep his nose out of other people's business." It was Austin who lunged for Adam this time. Rob caught him around the waist and forced him into a chair. Austin was mumbling under his breath "Cheating asshole. Calling me nosey. Bastard..."
Tim heard what Austin was mumbling but wanted him to say it louder. "What did you say?"
Austin looked up at Adam, who just raised an eyebrow and shrugged his shoulders. "I SAID 'CHEATING ASSHOLE, CALLING ME NOSEY, BASTARD!' Happy now Adam? He knows."
Tim turned to Adam and tried to give him his best shocked face. "You cheated on me?" He asked quietly. "With who?"
Adam had to look down to keep from laughing at Tim. Acting was not his strong suit. He finally looked back up "Jenika".
Chance added "While you were watching TJ!"
Tim wasn't done messing with the guys yet. He looked at Adam with questioning sadness in his eyes "That's why she wanted me to take TJ to the park? So you two could have sex?" Adam could only respond with a nod of his head.
"Oh good." Tim sighed "That means I can still read subtle innuendo from women. I was afraid I was getting rusty." Tim turned to Adam, "Is she feeling better now?" Again Adam could only nod his head and smile and try not to laugh.
Austin, Chance, and Olena were dumbstruck. Only Rob could manage words, "What just happened here? You're okay with this? You knew they were planning to have sex and left anyway? What the hell?"
Tim stood and pulled Adam with him. He motioned to the couch as he said "Guys, how about you three come have seat now." The three guys took the couch and Olena remained in her chair.
Tim decided they didn't need every detail but they needed to know a little. He looked at Adam for reassurance. Adam gave him a nod and squeezed his hand. "Uh, so Adam, Jenika, and I are in an interesting place. Um, we are all in a relationship together. It's not normal or traditional but it works for us."
Austin was the first to find his words "Wait. So you are all having sex with each other?"
Adam laughed at Austins shocked face while Tim answered him. "Sure, lets get more personal. Adam and I have sex. Adam and Jenika have sex. Jenika and I have not had sex."
Adam snickered knowing that Tim had either just lied or had forgotten to count that one time years ago. Tim gave Adam a confused look. Adam whispered in Tim's ear "Are we not counting five years ago?" Tim hung his head. "Guys, give us a second. We'll be right back."
Adam and Tim walked a good bit away from the door so they wouldn't be overheard. Tim spoke first "Adam, I'm stuck here. I hate lying to people. I definitely don't want to lie to the guys but this isn't really they way I wanted to tell them about TJ either. We haven't told him. I haven't told my mother. SHIT!"
"Tim, this is completely up to you" Adam spoke softly as he rubbed Tim's back. "If you want to wait I'm sure they'll understand the need for the lie when the time comes."
"NO! I have to do this now." Tim was confident in his decision. "Then there won't be any secrets between us. That's how we've stayed friends for so long...honesty."
Adam ran to the bus to get Jenika. He explained everything on the way back to the dressing room. Tim was already inside and told they guys what they were waiting for.
Jenika felt pretty self-conscious walking into the room with everyone looking at her. But she walked straight over to Tim squeezed his hand as she smiled at him and gave him a kiss on the cheek. He knew that she was okay with this.
Tim started right away before he chickened out. "You all know I can't stand lying to people or being lied to so I need to ask forgiveness for lying to all of you just a few minutes ago." He held up his hand to keep everyone from interrupting. "I told you all that Jenika and I have not had sex. That is not true. (pause) We have. (pause) Once." He looked at Jenika for any signs that she wasn't okay with this, there were none. He continued, "Five years ago we had a one-night fling."
The guys sat there trying to figure out why it was so hard for Tim to tell them this. They had all done it at some point. Olena, however, was starting to put some pieces together. She looked at Jenika with eyebrows raised "So then...Really?" Jenika giggled and nodded at Olena.
Olena jumped out of her seat and pulled Tim into a hug that seemed to last forever. Chance finally broke the silence. "Okay, I always thought I was pretty smart but I'm clearly missing something."
"You're not the only one." Rob and Austin said at the same time.
Olena looked exasperated. "Guys, seriously? They only had sex, one time, five years ago. Think back to some previous information that you've been given and put it all together."
Rob and Austin still looked confused but Chance looked like he was working something over in his head.
Adam finally chimed in "I think you should just tell them before they burn up brain cells by thinking too hard." That got him a couple dirty looks.
Tim took a deep breath. "Jenika got pregnant during a one-night stand five years ago. That guy she never told had a child was me. I'm TJ's father."
