Blood & Magick [Ch 20: Dylan- Life is just a bunch of Monkey’s Typing on a Keyboard]-New Verson-

Now I was stuck between a rock and a hard place; Jenn and Karissa; both of them lovely, beautiful and bi polar opposites. Karissa was a caring, sweet, gentle girl, unless Jenn was around. Jenn was a rough and tumble girl, who was bad ass, bitchy, hard and to the point, unless she was around me. Both of them had one thing in common; they both have at least made out with me, Karissa a little more then that.1

This is where the problem begins; I am pretty sure they both like me, though I’m not sure about Jenn. It was really out of her character to kiss me like that, and be so vulnerable, allow someone the upper hand. Not that I didn’t enjoy it and want more, it just shocked me beyond the fact me and Karissa had sex, which was another problem.2

Karissa is seventeen, I was twenty seven. I had, had sex with a minor, I could not only loose my job, but go to jail for that. Not that I’d take it back, I enjoyed it, and I hope she did too. But I am pretty sure she is in love with me, and I like her, a lot. I just don’t know if it’s enough. I don’t want to lead her on and leave her hanging to dry if I decide I don’t. Plus Jenn would kill me, which is yet another problem.3

I think Jenn is starting to like me as well, and I don’t think that happens very often. She is the type of girl to act cold when she is hurting, and hide it from the world. Yet lately she has been coming to me with problems, which I like. I like to see that she is starting to open up. So, if I were to date Karissa, it would not only make her want to kill me, It would make her climb back into herself, bring those crumbling walls back together.4

If I didn’t choose Karissa I could destroy what little self esteem she has left. 5

This left me in a worse place then the stupid rock and hard place; it left me on a mine field, with one leg in the air, holding a thousand pound weight. 6

I sighed and looked to the girls as the argued once more. This was normal and actually made me feel better. No matter who I choose someone will get hurt. I closed my eyes and shook my head.7

It’s not like I can chose neither. Because damn it; I am a man and I have needs. I like them both, and I have to choose one, because I want warm arms to hold me, and someone I can depend on; I wanted love.8

“I’m going for a walk, I need to do something.” Karissa stood up, walking out the door. 9

I blinked and watched her go, looking at Jenn as she yawned.10

“I didn’t do anything.”11

I shook my head and sighed.12

You never know what they will come up with.13
