Partner In Bed

"What have we gotten ourselves into?" Alice was genuinely bewildered as she lay in bed next to Jordi, their naked bodies entwined. He was her closest friend, and now this unexpected situation had arisen. "I... I'm honestly unsure how this happened, Alice, but I'll take responsibility," Jordi ventured. "No, Jordi. You're engaged, and I'm in a relationship. It's not possible," Alice replied, trying to maintain a firm line. "But..." he persisted, hoping for an alternative. "It's alright. Let's just forget about it and move on. As if nothing ever happened," Alice suggested, attempting to distance herself emotionally. "Absolutely not! I've had feelings for you for a long time, maybe this is fate's way of bringing us together," Jordi confessed, grasping at the idea. "What are you saying?" Alice asked, clearly surprised by his declaration. "Alice, will you marry me?" Jordi blurted out, his emotions overwhelming him.
