9 years ago, i was 17 and had an on-and-off relationship with 13-year-old Irene for about a years. at the same time, i was in love with her same-age cousin Lily and Irene knows it. First, I asked Lily out but she rejected me. then, Irene ask me and i accept. we were on-and-off because i was still in love with Lily and Irene was constantly flirting with other guys. finally, we broke-up but remained friends.
5 years later, i asked Lily out for a second time and she rejected me again. eventually, i just became close with Irene and Lily instead and even introduced my same-age friend Lance and my best friend Rick to them.
last year, Rick and I had noticed signs that Irene and Lance had a thing. Lily was frustrated because Lily had made Irene promise not to date Lance in order to preserve this group. eventually, the signs became too obvious and Lily and Irene had a fight that lasted 4 months. i tried to convince Lily to reconcile with Irene but the idea just made her cry. i confront Lance and he confessed that he and Irene had been dating secretly for about a year. he told me that it was Irene’s idea not to tell anyone and also made me promise not to tell anyone. at the same time, Irene and Lance were not doing so well because he thinks Irene is cheating. i confronted Irene that i know about Lance and her relationship and asked if she was cheating. Irene denied but got mad at Lance for telling me and broke up with him. i convince Irene to give Lance a second chance and reconcile with Lily. Irene countered she had lost interest in Lance because she likes someone else and she will not initiate the reconciliation. at the same time, she confessed she still likes me.
without thinking, Irene and I made out and had s**.
eventually, Irene gave Lance a second chance which lasted a month and reconciled with Lily at the end of the year. however, Irene and I had a secret friends-with-benefits relationship that lasted 6 months.
