Zofi's voice cut off as she covered her mouth and popped her eyes open, looking scared that she'd already said too much.

After already wondering what was going on with Sam this morning, and now having Zofi turn cryptic on me, I asked rather impatiently, "She'd talked about what?"

Zofi looked back at me, winced, and said apologetically, “I don't think it's really my place to say."

“Whatever you know, can you please tell me what's going on?"

“I really think this is a conversation you need to have one-on-one with

Sam."

“Fine, I'll go over to her place right after this. But you can't let me walk in there blind." I turned both of my hands palms up. "“Zofi... please... what's going on?"

Her grimace deepened. "I... Matty... She's my best friend. I can't tell you things she's said to me in confidence.”

Pursing my lips, I took a deep breath and sighed.

“Well maybe you can't tell me anything, but you can't stop me from speculating in front of you. Now I don't pretend to be the most perceptive guy on the planet (I know: serious understatement there), but let me try to connect the dots here.”

Zofi frowned, not yet sure where I was going with this.

"One," I began while touching my right index finger to the tip of my left index finger, both hands otherwise closed into fists. "Neevie asks permission to date me and Sam insists she doesn't mind so long as

Neevie doesn't take me away from the BTC."

Zofi shrugged like this was a non-starter.

“Two." I touched my right index finger to my left middle finger now.

“Everything's fine for about a week, I go on my double-date with your parents, and you come over and have an amazing threesome with me and

Neevie. I'm assuming you then had to call your best friend and give her all the details. I show up to school Monday morning and find out the rest of you, including Sam, have scheduled one-on-one dates with me for the following weekend, which is happening right now."

Zofi frowned and muttered, “I'm not sure where you're going with this."

"Three." Ring finger now. "Sam skips studying with Belle, Mari, and me on Monday. Now the previous time she missed a Monday, she came over after dinner hoping to just show up and get some great orgasms, which she did I'm proud to say. But then this past Monday, she came over in the evening and yet did NOT have sex with me. She spent the whole time chatting with my mother.”

Now Zofi started to sweat a little. I could see in her expression that

I was getting on the right track.

“Now the two of you did have a threesome with me on Wednesday, but if

I'm being honest, she was basically making love with you while you both happened to be riding me at opposite ends. After that, the three of us teamed up on Neevie under the guise of making sure she felt taken care of before getting grounded this weekend. And then on Friday, I remember she gave me part of a blowjob while we had a group thing, but that's basically it - definitely not standard Sam participation."

“What are you getting at?" Zofi frowned.

“Four. I touched my pinky.
