Straight as a Curve

Present day –

That girl shopping for high heels is Maria.

The guy beside her, watching in awe, is Jack.

Anna just ordered meatball noodles for Robert.

Robert is simply accompanying Maria, Jack, and Anna.

He is neither interested in high heels nor meatball noodles.

And I’d like to introduce myself as the narrator of this seemingly innocent yet devious tale of love, straight love.

Flashback (The day when Robert and Jack arrived in the flat right next to Anna and Maria’s) – 

Cupid struck Jack when he saw Maria.

It was love at first sight for Jack as Maria welcomed him.

Robert watched coldly as Jack’s expressions transformed.

Anna was swept off her feet as well when she caught a glimpse of Robert’s brooding and intense face.

Before flashback (At Anna and Maria’s current flat) –

Maria was reading a novel about a prostitute who despised sex, yet chose to be a prostitute just to hate it more.

Anna had just had a shower. Assuming that Maria was deeply engrossed in the novel, Anna dropped her towel to change.

It was a clever ploy by Maria – the secret lover of Anna.

Maria was enchanted by Anna’s curves and bare back complimenting the evaporating, dripping water beads.

Maria wanted to have sex with Anna right there, right then. She wanted to kiss and lick Anna’s flawless skin.

(At Jack and Robert’s old flat) – 

Robert was watching a bland show on television when Jack and her date stormed through the door kissing each other passionately.

As Jack and his date locked the bedroom in a flash, watching them in horror was Robert – the secret lover of Jack.

Jack’s date screamed, moaned with pleasure, while Jack could be heard panting and rejoicing at the same time.

Robert started crying, howling actually. As tears kept dripping, he fantasized himself with Jack having that kind of sex.

Before the present day –

Robert was glum and it only worsened with each day. Not a single day passed without Jack describing how delightful it would be to marry Maria and have children. Jack’s words stung Robert and penetrated more day after day.

Anna was dejected for Robert wasn’t responding to her flirting, yet she was infatuated with his restrained demeanor. She was willing to pose naked for Robert if he desired, Anna confessed to Maria.

Never had a night passed without Maria wanting to get raw and dirty with Anna’s body bathed in moonlight.

Present day – 

Robert loves Jack.

Jack loves Maria.

Maria loves Anna.

And Anna loves Robert.

Ironically, though everyone is in love, nobody is happy.
