Thread: Three Way Tie (LingeringDesire and Josu_T)

Mark glanced up from the table and saw Samantha as she walked into the room. It was then that he remembered that they normally had lunch together. He didn't say anything as she took her seat. He just smiled at her. Phil didn't notice her until she had taken a seat, but once she was there his attention was fully on her. He was a little jealous when she greeted Mark first, but knew that she must be friends with Mark. Mark looked into her eyes for a moment and then waited for her inevitable introduction to Phil. When that happened Phil smiled at her warmly. It is great to meet you Samantha. I'm Phil Desmond. I'm the new science teacher. Eighth grade... red section I think. I'm still learning how everything works here, but Mark has been a great help. But of course that's because... Before Phil could continue Mark nudged him under the table to get him to stop. An idea was already forming in his mind and he didn't want Samantha to know they had been best friends for a very long time. He cut in quickly. I knew he was new here and I could tell right away we would get along so I decided to help. I must admit that I got so caught up with it that I forgot about lunch with you today. I'm sorry Samantha. I'll make it up to you another day. He left it at that and Phil started to wonder both why Mark had stopped him and what there was between Mark and Samantha. Though what was more important was simply getting to know Samantha better. She hadn't said much, but he could tell he was going to like her already. Mark took a few bites of his lunch and then he cleared his throat. So now that introductions are done, let's talk. How was your time off Samantha? I had a good time with friends and family, though I must admit I did miss this place a little. Being away from my friends here is always a little difficult. He looked a little shy as he said that. He really meant that he had missed being around her. He always enjoyed the time they spent together and while Phil would always be his best friend, Samantha was almost as important to him. He wasn't really sure why he had never asked her out before, but he felt it had to have something to do with not wanting to ruin their friendship. At least that was his excuse. The real reason was more along the lines of him being too nervous and wanting to be completely certain she was interested before asking her out and he just couldn't be one hundred percent certain. That one small, minute doubt hiding deep inside had kept him from telling her how he felt and asking her out.

Samantha's eyes flitted over him, Phil seemed like a great guy. Kind, sexy, she was certain the girls were paying attention in his class. He was something new to look at but the way things were going with Mark before the Christmas break she had a good feeling. Screwing that up now would be a waste of time, besides that she needed to get laid... not that she planned on telling either of these two that anytime soon. His sentence ended strangely and mark was speaking, her lips smiled wider. How nice and oh, ok.. I'd really like that. She reached out and gave his hand a squeeze before pulling back and tilting her head at him. He made her heart break out in show tunes and made her feet want to dance, it was ridiculous. But they had a certain chemistry. How he hadn't figured it out yet was beyond her. She paused and listened to him talk, what she wanted to hear was that he'd missed her, but that had yet to fall from his lips. My break was good, I went home to see my folks... got the third degree about a husband. I wish they'd give up... I mean no one is knocking down the door. She shoved a forkful of salad in her mouth to stop herself. It had all been a blur and she spent most of it holed up in her childhood room crying her eyes out since all they kept talking about was her non existent dating life. Swallowing the bite she smiled, Parents... can't live with them and can't wait until they are old enough to put in a home. It wasn't entirely true, just some times. What about you Phil... what big plans did you have over the Holidays? She stretched her legs out, bumping into both. Sorry.... She said, dipping her head and blushing. She was only trying to find Mark's and NOT Phil's too. Could she have a do over maybe? Doubt it came her mind's response as she listened to Phil.

Phil was barely paying attention to Mark as the three of them talked. He was focused on the attractive woman. He didn't really pick up on the fact that she seemed more interested in his friend. When Samantha mentioned that there was no one really going after her for a relationship he was surprised. He'd figured there were a number of guys asking her out on a regular basis. Now he knew there was a chance there. He chuckled at her little joke about parents. He was glad his weren't too bad. The touch from her leg was enough to make him hope for more. He smiled warmly. That's ok. These are pretty small table's. Stuff like that is bound to happen. As for my vacation, I spent much of it trying to secure this job. But I also had a good time with family. He shrugged slightly. Mark noticed Phil's clear attraction for Samantha right away. They had known each other a very long time and Mark knew how to read Phil like a book. He also seemed to notice that Samantha was flirting a little more than normal and he had to conclude that it was because of Phil. It was the only thing that had changed. He really liked her and wanted to be with her, but his doubt was starting to grow a little. The idea in the back of his mind was slowly starting to form more and more. He stayed fairly quiet as they ate lunch. Phil spoke more, wanting to get to know Samantha better. Mark simply planned on talking to her later, so he focused more on eating. His eyes were on her much of the time though. He just couldn't help himself.

Samantha was clueless about the things running through Phil's head, so set on Mark but not even picking up that he was waiting for a signal of some sort from her. Had she not been openly flirting with him? She flashed him her killer smile, glad he liked her little joke. But hey, she was friendly and Phil seemed a nice friend for Mark. She nodded in understanding, Well we are glad to have you. And yeah these tables are a bit small, but it's better than eating alone. I'll try to keep the touching to below knee level. She blushed and sipped at her water, at least she didn't say below the belt. Could mark make her even MORE tongue-tied. Sam hated it that Mark was so quiet. Was he backing off , maybe he came to a different conclusion over the holidays? Before they seemed to flirt a bit and now he was pretty much ignoring her. Chewing on her lip she was sure to offer her assistance to Phil, should he need it. It was a polite gesture, something she didn't think of as flirting or coming on to him. If she knew that she'd have stopped immediately and walked away. but she didn't see it as flirting, only as being nice. Lunch was finished, Sam pushed her salad away and finished her bottle of water. So Phil, what did you do before this. I know I'm dying to know... Mark probably is as well. She smiled and touched his arm gently. Her fingers stroking the sleeve of Mark's shirt as she smiled into his face sweetly.

When they were finished with their meals the two men relaxed. As Samantha asked Phil about his previous job he just shrugged. He felt a little jealous about the look she gave Mark and the touch to Mark's arm. Mark smiled at her and nodded, agreeing with her. He knew what Phil had been doing, but he wasn't about to say that. He didn't even look at Phil though, simply waiting for his friend to answer. Phil waited for the other two to pay attention to him, then he spoke up. I was in school to get my degree, of course. Then I spent the last couple of years on the Teacher-on-call list. You probably did the same for a while at some point. Getting all the substitute jobs I could. When I heard about this job I applied as soon as I could. I'm just glad I got it. And there seem to be even more reasons I should be happy about this job. He smiled at Samantha and hoped she understood that she was definitely one of the reasons he knew he was going to like working there.

Her attention turned to Phil, her hand dropping away from Mark's arm. He hadn't even seemed to have acknowledged it, save for his smile. What would he do if after school she came to his room, locked the door and pulled the shades. Would he THEN get the hint? Her hand lifted and she absently toyed with the buttons as Phil spoke. When he spoke of there being more reasons, she blushed. Her hand lifted to her earring and she cleared her throat. Glancing at Mark she sighed, Perhaps... Why didn't Mark see her as attractive, available and OH SO willing? Biting her lip she hoped to dissuade the man. Yeah we all paid our price... I graduated early so I have been here longer than Mark even though we are almost the same age. She smiled and slid her hand along her jaw as she leaned on her elbow. She was only a few months older, able to say year soon since her birthday was coming up. Should I walk you back to class... so we can talk? She asked Mark gently. Or should I wait for you in my room at the end of day? She smiled and blushed a touch as she noticed Phil still watching her. My planning break is 5th bell, whenever yours is you should come down for coffee and a breather. Sometimes on Fridays we bring in cookies or cake... there is a new recipe I want to try, might have to do that this week. But, well.. she wrinkled her nose. Not many like dark chocolate anymore...

Phil was a little disappointed that he wasn't getting as much of a response, but it was starting to become very clear to him where her attention was focused. When she talked about when her break was he smiled happily. He had the same break as her and that meant he would at least have a chance to get to know her better, even if Mark was the one she was interested in. He nodded to her. I'm always happy to try new things. I've got that as my break, so I'll definitely be there. I look forward to it Mark let Phil talk for the moment, then he took his turn. Let's meet in your room at the end of the day. We'll have more time to talk then. I'll be there as soon as I can be. He smiled at her and then looked at Phil. He needed to have a conversation with his friend in private before classes started again. He slowly stood up and gathered his things and he was glad when Phil did the same. Phil said goodbye to Samantha and Mark lingered for a moment. I'll see you later, I hope your classes go well this afternoon. He then turned and left with Phil. The two made their way out of the teachers' lounge and down the hall.

Same as me... well that is good, at least you will know one person... She gave Phil a saucy wink and laughed as her hand reached out and touched his arm gently. She turned her head toward the other male, her hand moving back to her side of the table. Samantha nodded at Mark, Ok, I'll be sure to wait around... maybe we can go for drinks... or dinner tonight? She asked hopefully, she didn't want to go this route and be so forward. it seemed they would talk in her room at the end of the day. She smiled and said goodbye to both men, Thank you mark... I look forward to talking to you after classes... hope yours go well too. Watching him walk away she smiled after both of them. She was such a sap. Maybe today would be the day when Mark would come to his senses and realize she had asked him out and he said nothing... The rest of the day drug on slowly. She was counting down until the moment she could see Mark again. Her heart was really set on him... well perhaps every part of her and NOT just her heart. A smile slid across her lips, but it was a naughty looking smile. Thankfully she had her students noses lowered into books and not focused on her. God she needed to pay attention to her class more and put Mark out of her head. It seemed when she was able to do this the day flew by. Walking into the teachers lounge just after the bell rang she smiled. Coffee break! A math teacher was cleaning up her work and heading out. Lucky you, seems mine just ended. Samantha gave her a sympathetic smile and filled her cup up to the brim with the hot brew. She slid onto the comfortable faux leather couch and put her feet up on the low table in front of it. Her feet were out of her heels and the thick tights she wore kept her feet warm. Closing her eyes she relaxed and let the coffee work it's way into her system. First day back in two weeks, I think I'm ready for another break. The door opened and two people came in laughing, the gym teacher and a teacher's aide for the art department. She had a sign up sheet for something and added it to the rest on the counter. Already time for the Valentine's dance? She asked slipping her shoes on and going to look.

The two friends walked until they got to Phil's classroom. They still had a little time before the students returned, so they sat and started to talk. Phil asked right away about Samantha and what was going on there. Mark explained that he'd liked Samantha for a long time, but nothing had ever happened between them. He even admitted that it was because he was nervous and unsure. Phil laughed at that and explained that he was certain Samantha was into him, but that he'd hoped Mark wasn't interested so he'd have a chance. The two continued to talk about her and for a moment they thought they might end up competing over her before Mark finally came up with a solution. The two of them had been friends for so long that there was no reason for them to argue over a woman. They would do what they did with everything. They would share her. They started to talk for a while about how they would do it and Mark had a plan. He explained it to Phil quickly and Phil agreed. It would take a while, but it was the only way to be sure. Even if it didn't work they felt that one of them would end up with her anyway. With the plan in place Mark returned to his classroom just in time for the start of classes. Both men spent the afternoon teaching their classes. Mark got his break early and when Phil's came he made his way to the teacher's lounge again. He was looking forward to seeing Samantha again. He remembered what Mark had said and when he arrive he got some coffee. Then he spotted Samantha at one of the counters. He walked over to her and looked down at the stuff on the counter. He saw a sign-up sheet to chaperone a dance and it seemed that Samantha was interested in it. He was happy about that, mostly because he probably would have volunteered anyway. It sounded like a good way to get involved with the school and become part of the community. He reached down and quickly signed his name. He smiled at Samantha and stepped away. He let her finish deciding if she was going to sign up. Then he invited her to sit with him and talk for a while. He found a quiet corner and relaxed in one of the seats there. He was looking forward to getting to know her better, though he knew he also had something to say to her. That was permanently in the back of his mind, but it wasn't something to rush into. He took it slow and just started to talk with her casually.

While still debating, Phil had slipped in. Samantha saw him approach and was poised to retort. However, the male said nothing and simply signed the page and moved on, with a smile gifted her. Blinking she pursed her lip and signed her name just below his. It would be fun and perhaps if nothing panned out with Mark ... she shook her head, what was she saying. Scratching her name out she spun and saw him sitting right where he said he'd be. She bit her lip and turned back to the sheet. In a quick thought she scribbled her name on a line and ran before she could think on it more. She was old enough to be in a good relationship, having to keep her options open. Already she'd spent most of the year on Mark and where had that gotten her. Nowhere. At least this guy showed an interest, at least, she hoped that was what it was. Samantha slid onto the cushion next to him on the couch. slipping her shoes off she settled her legs under her. One hand wrapped about her coffee mug and the other lingered along the back of the couch. They spoke of where they grew up, she in a small town . Then she bored him with stories about growing up on a farm. Well she supposed they didn't bore him since he laughed with her. her fingers toyed with her short hair nervously. Nervous because she was meeting Mark after school. She secretly hoped that he would confess his secret attraction to her, ask her out, kiss her or any other number of things. There was a niggling of doubt in the pit of her stomach, telling her none of this was happening and she should just go with what was presenting itself. She touched his arm and smiled gently, I'm going to get more coffee, I'll be right back. Standing she walked to the coffee pot, while pouring she turned to look over her shoulder at him. He wasn't a troll, she'd done worse and well, he seemed really nice. She returned to her seat and sat in the same position.

Phil enjoyed the conversation with Samantha. It was great getting to know her better and she definitely seemed comfortable around him. He got the sense that she might actually be interested in him and it felt as if it was all going to plan. He was happy about that. He was sure that Mark would be happy about it too. Though he knew that what Mark was going to do later was going to be a lot harder for him. Phil had the easy part. When she got up and went to get some coffee he watched her and smiled at her across the room. He waited for her to rejoin him and he turned more toward her. He paused for a moment, thinking about how to word what he had to say next. After a minute he took a deep breath and looked into her eyes. He started to talk slowly and softly. Samantha, I know I've only known you for a short time, but I already like you a lot. I've seen that there might be someone else you are interested in and who might be interested in you as well. In fact I'm fairly sure of it. But I can't just let this opportunity go. I want to say that I would like to go out with you. I don't expect an answer now. Just know that I am here if you become available. He finished what he had to say and wondered how she would respond. He'd spoken softly enough so no one else in the room would have heard him. They were all busy with their own things anyway.

Samantha's bright blue hued eyes looked deep into his as he spoke. He seemed nervous and she leaned in closer. His words actually shocked her. One day and he was asking her out, with Mark it had been months upon months and still nothing. Though Phil said he was certain she was interested in someone and well they were interested in her as well. She blushed at the thought of Mark. Smiling, the lady was glad he didn't expect an answer now... as she was totally unprepared to give him one. She smiled at him and sat back in her seat, wrapping her fingers around the mugs warmth she sighed. Time was needed, this was not an easy decision. She wanted to see what was going on with Mark, perhaps cue him in on Phil and ask his opinion, float the idea of another being interested in her and maybe it would spur him into asking her out... or at least showing interest. After what seemed like forever she turned to him fully and spoke. Thank you Phil... I am very flattered and I would like some time to consider your very thrilling offer. She grasped his hand in hers gently pressing her fingers into his palm. I need to get going before the bell rings, I have some things to set up in my room for my next class. With a smile to him she scurried away, mind reeling. She prayed that Mark would just make it easy and ask her out or accept her dinner invitation. He was the one that set her blood on fire and made her heart race in her chest. Though right now Phil had set it to racing and they'd just met, what the hell? She shut the door to her classroom and closed her eyes, wishing and hoping that Mark would be able to dispel these spiraling away feelings and emotions. She sat in her room in the dark until the bell rang and spurred her into action. The rest of her classes passed with a nervous ease. The final bell rang and she busied herself with a multitude of last minute things. Like twiddling her thumbs, straightening her empty desk and wiping down her blank white boards. Her heart raced each time someone walked down the hall, students, teachers and parents alike. She thought of Phil with his kind eyes and go get 'em spirit. He was a young buck to this timid doe... perhaps he was a good choice. Someone to turn her out sexually and give her what she'd been missing... but she wanted sensible. Mark was sweet and sensible, easy to talk to and she imagined him as a tiger in the bed. She groaned and sat on the edge of her desk, restacking the same stack of papers as she waited.

Phil waited patiently, letting her think and decide. When she finally looked at him again and gave her response he smiled at her. He was glad she at least seemed interested, even if she wasn't going to accept right away. It was exactly what he had hoped she would do. Now it was Mark's turn. He let her get up and go while he stayed seated. He left just before the bell and returned to his room for class. The rest of the day he was feeling happy with how things had been going on his first day there. It was a little crazy, how quickly it was going, but he knew it would turn out well. At the end of his class Mark wondered how the conversation had gone between Phil and Samantha. He didn't have long to think about it though. His next class started shortly after and he had to start teaching again. While his students were doing some work he thought about Samantha and what he was going to do and say. He felt like he was taking a bit of a risk, but he knew he had to. When the day ended he had a few students stay for a while to ask him questions. He answered their questions and helped them. It took a little longer than he had hoped for and when they left he quickly tidied his desk and gathered his things. Once he was ready he left his room and slowly made his way to Samantha's classroom. He arrived and peeked in. When he saw her sitting on her desk he couldn't help but admire how beautiful she was for a moment. He moved into the room and walked over to her with a smile. Hey Samantha, did you have a nice day? Sorry again for forgetting about our lunch together.
