"Are you kidding me?" Tim said as he was awakened by the moaning coming from the room next him. "You didn't get enough last night?" he said to the wall. He was hoping they would finish so he could go back to sleep when he heard a scream of pleasure. "Well, shit. I'm not getting back to sleep now."

Tim turned the bedside light on and grabbed his glasses. As he got up to get dressed he noticed the other bed was empty. Tim knew Adam was there when he went to sleep last night, but where the hell was he now.

Tim headed down to the coffee shop needing caffeine to get him awake this early in the morning. "Who has sex at midnight and again at 7am?" He muttered to himself as he got in the elevator.

Tim heard a familiar voice behind him "What did you just say?" Tim turned to see Chance looking bleary eyed.

"I said 'who has sex at midnight and again at 7am'. It was a rhetorical question because clearly the answer is the people in the room next to me. Why else would I be awake at this hour." Tim said

"Let's get you coffee. I think you need it." Chance said while the wheels in his head were turning. If he was remembering correctly Tim and Adam were at the end of the hall which meant there was only one room next to his and it was Jenika's.

Once Tim had some coffee in him Chance asked "Is Adam still sleeping? I would think that would have woken him up too."

"I don't know where Adam is." Tim said "He wasn't in the room when I woke up this morning. I thought maybe he was already down here getting coffee but I guess not."

"Can you give me a minute?" Chance asked Tim. "I'll be right back" Tim nodded and Chance took off across the hotel looking for somewhere far away from Tim at the minute. Once tucked away in a corner Chance pulled out his phone and sent a group text to Austin and Rob.

C- Guys, I think we might have a problem.

A- It's too early for problems.

R- Seriously, what could have happened already?

C- Are you both sitting down?

A- WTH?

R- That bad?

C- Tim was woken up last night and this morning by the people in the room next door having sex.

A- So Tim's going to be grumpy today, whatever

C- Austin will you think for a minute. Whose room is next to Tim's?

R- Oh snap, Jenika was getting some last night

A- I'm still not seeing the problem.

C- Adam is missing again. Not in their room and not down here getting coffee.

R- And you're thinking...

A- Shit! Tim's going to freak.

R- Why can't Adam see that Tim is in love with him?

A- Why won't Adam admit that he loves Tim?

C- Focus! What are we going to do?

R- Can you keep Tim distracted down there? I'll run and grab Adam but I've got to get dressed.

C- I'll see what I can do.

Chance headed back to the café but couldn't find Tim. He ran towards the elevator to find it was just closing. "Shit" He yelled and then sprinted for the stairs. He texted Austin and Rob "He's gone".

Chance looked through the window on the stairwell door and saw Tim had just gotten off the elevator and was headed towards his room. Chance turned around to head back downstairs when he heard Tim's deep voice yell "You've got to be f*cking kidding me" and then a door slam

Chance flew through the door just in time to see Adam slide down the wall to sit on the floor and hang his head in his hands. Chance ran to check on Adam. He didn't think Tim would hit him but he wanted to make sure. Just as Chance reached Adam, Jenika opened the door to see what the yelling was.

Chance said quietly "Adam, get up. You can't just sit here in the hallway."

"Bring him in here" Jenika told Chance.

"No. I'm taking him to my room. Go get TJ and bring him back here with you. I need to talk to the guys." Chance said to Jenika calmly. "But you might want to put on more than a robe first."

Chance pulled Adam off the floor, forced him down the hall to his room and dropped him in a chair. Then he pulled out his phone and texted Austin and Rob.

C- Rob, can you go check on Tim? He saw Adam coming out of Jenikas room. He figured it out.

C- Austin, Jenika is coming to get TJ then I need you in my room. I have Adam here.

Chance got the same reply from both guys "Shit!" About 10 minutes passed and there was a knock on Chance's door. Austin came barreling in the room as soon as Chance opened it and headed straight for Adam.

"What the hell dude?" Austin yelled. "I mean congrats on finally getting some but did you have to rub Tim's face in it? You kept telling him that you and Jenika were just friends, you gave him hope, but then this happens. Tim loves you man. You need to figure out how you feel about both him and Jenika and sort this shit out now." Austin finished his outburst and Chance could only nod in agreement.

"Did you say Tim loves me?" Adam asked quietly "Did he tell you that?"

"Not in so many words, but we all see it. We can also all see that you love him." Chance said "You two need to sit down and really talk. But maybe let him cool off first"

------Meanwhile in Tim's room------

Tim looked through the peephole and opened the door when he saw Rob standing there.

"You okay buddy?" Rob asked.

"Yeah, why wouldn't I be?" Tim replied acting as if nothing had happened.

"Tim, we all know what just happened." Rob said and squeezed Tim's shoulder.

"Yeah? So Adam finally f*cked Jenika. What's the big deal?" Tim said loudly

Rob forced Tim to sit and pulled a chair over so he could face him. "The big deal is that you love him and this is tearing you apart." Rob held a hand up to stop Tim from talking. "Hear me out. And don't interrupt. We can all see that you love Adam. And we all know that Adam loves you too. You two have a serious communication problem; you talk about everything except how you feel about each other."

"If Adam loves me so much why is he screwing Jenika?" Tim asked knowing Rob didn't have the answer. "He keeps telling me they're just friends. What I heard didn't sound like 'just friends'."

Rob shook his head, "You know I don't have the exact answer but can I ask you question?" Rob didn't wait for a response. "How long have you loved Adam? Years, right? Have you been celibate this whole time? I'm 99% certain you haven't been. Think about that."

Tim scrubbed his hands over his face and sighed "Rob, I'm an asshole. Do you know where Adam is? We need to talk."

------------

Tim was headed out his door when he saw Jenika headed up the hallway with TJ. He turned to Rob and asked "Can you hang out for a minute and entertain TJ. I need to talk to Jenika."

Rob nodded to Tim then grabbed TJ's hand and said "Let's go get some breakfast".

"Your room or mine?" Jenika said to Tim.

"Uhm, mine" Tim said. "I don't think I want to step in that room right now."

As soon as the door shut Jenika tried to apologize to Tim. "This is all my fault. It started with some innocent teasing yesterday and then Adam and I had that talk you walked in on and I think I made him feel bad. Then he ended up in my room. I think he just wanted to apologize for earlier and I'm so sorry."

Tim had no idea what she was rambling on about, "Jenika slow down. You aren't making any sense. What are you talking about?"

Jenika explained about Adam only being in a towel, getting her all worked up with his teasing and then leaving her hanging. Then she explained the game they played and she was so embarrassed but she had to tell Tim that she hadn't had sex in 5yrs and that made Adam feel bad about his actions earlier. Tim was starting to nod his head like he finally understood where she was going with this. She finished with "and he asked me about being 'friends with benefits' and I couldn't say no."

Jenika was about to apologize again when Tim put his hand over her mouth to get her to stop talking. "You still apologize too much" Tim smirked, "Funny thing is I brought you here to apologize to you." Jenika just stared at him like he was crazy.

"I've been a total ass to you for the last month. I would get jealous every time Adam would spend time with you and instead of talking to him about it I took it out on you. I'm sorry. It won't happen again." Tim said

"Thank you for the apology, Tim. I appreciate you being honest with me." Jenika replied. "You and Adam have so much to talk about so I'm going to go." Jenika hugged Tim and left to find TJ.

Tim felt his phone buzz in his pocket. It was a message from Adam.

A- Can we talk?

T- I think that would be a good idea.

A- Where are you?

T- Our room.

A- On my way.

Tim couldn't remember the last time he'd been this nervous. He sat on the end of his bed with his head in hands trying to figure out what he was going to say to Adam.

Adam unlocked the door, quietly stepped inside and saw Tim sitting on the bed. He approached him cautiously, not knowing if he was still seething mad or had calmed down some.

"Adam you don't need to tiptoe around me. I'm not mad at you." Tim said as he looked up into Adam's worried face. "I could never be mad at you" He added quietly.

"What? But I just...." Adam started. "Did the same thing I've done before" Tim interrupted.

"Adam, I've been denying my feelings for you practically since the day I met you. And I can guarantee that I've not gone without all these years. I can't hold you to a higher standard than I hold myself just because I'm jealous. We aren't in a relationship; I have no right to get angry at you for sleeping with her." Tim paused for a second and then added "Lord knows I would if I had the chance."

Adam chuckled at Tim's naughty admission then knelt down in front of Tim, "Do you want to be in a relationship?"

Tim could only nod. He had tears in his eyes and knew he couldn't form coherent words right now.

Adam lifted Tim's chin so they were eye to eye and whispered "I would love to be your boyfriend" then placed a soft kiss on his lips. He pulled away before the kiss deepened. Adam was determined to take this slow.

"You want to lay down and talk until we fall asleep? I'm so tired right now." Adam said to Tim.

"I bet you are. Didn't sound like you got much sleep." Tim smirked as Adam's face reddened.

After napping for a couple hours Tim and Adam decided to head down to get some lunch. Tim noticed an envelope on the floor just inside their door. He picked it up and handed it to Adam since it had his name on it.

Tim watched Adam read the letter silently. It all happened in slow-motion. All the color drained from Adam's face, he dropped the letter, fell to his knees, and let out a strangled cry "She's gone!"
