• Maybe you forgot, sweet lover, but we completed the move today! And if you forgot about it, I didn't.

It is our first anniversary together!

I had forgotten it! Oh my ... I got immediately a bottle of Champagne in the cooler and Daniel and Antonio joined us for a celebration. They even invited us to a nice restaurant for the occasion. They invited, but I went discreetly to the ma"tre d and paid the bill as I thought it was OUR anniversary and on top of that they had helped all day with the move. They protested a bit saying they invited, but in the end we were friends and they accepted. I still had to make up things with AndrŽ for the forgotten date.

For Thanksgiving we were invited to Daniel and Antonio's house. A huge family surrounded them both and it was a friendly and warm atmosphere. Antonio had some Hispanic background and the food was according to it: spicy and hot, but cooled down by fantastic Margaritas. They had the habit of letting everyone present express their thanks for what they found important. AndrŽ and I were asked to do the same. I thanked the Universe for bringing AndrŽ in my life, as well as good health and a job I liked. AndrŽ mimicked me in his own words, but the result was the same.

For Christmas we decided to have a huge party at our house. It was not freezing cold, but the chimney was lit. In the garden we had lit the torches as well and opened the swimming pool and lit the lights in it. In the living room there was a huge Christmas tree with hundreds of LED's in it and all red balls that accentuated the Christmas feeling. We had asked all of our friends to bring their presents plus one present for an unknown person. At the beginning of the evening there were hundreds of packets at the foot of the tree. All electric lights were switched off and the whole place was illuminated by candlelight. After the sumptuous dinner there was a huge Christmas cake with coffee and liquor. A few of our most daring guests took a dive in the swimming pool. The water was ok, but getting to the pool and coming out of it was a real challenge. Daniel was in fact the instigator of it and when the others saw that he was taking off his clothes, they flowed immediately, even if it was only to see him closer and naked.

For New Year's Eve we were invited at some friend's house, but as AndrŽ had to work, we couldn't go. Instead I accepted the request of being at the restaurant to help out as they had a full house. At midnight there was the countdown and when we reached the "Happy New Year" AndrŽ surprised half of his staff by kissing me passionately. AndrŽ had always kept professional and private life separate and quite a few of his co-workers had no idea he was gay. Fortunately his boss knew and approved our relationship.

We were happy and our love grew with the day. Sexually we were more than satisfied and we didn't need threesomes or foursomes. With Daniel and Antonio the friendship grew stronger as well, but the sex part of the beginning had faded into nothing. I was happy and satisfied with AndrŽ and Daniel was equally satisfied and happy with Antonio.

One Saturday morning in May, we were having breakfast on the porch. AndrŽ had swum his laps and we were enjoying our coffee after the usual full breakfast. When the front doorbell rang we were looking at each other quizzically as we didn't expect any visitors. AndrŽ went to answer the door and a few minutes later he came back to the porch accompanied by ... Philip. Philip had a bouquet of flowers in his hands and I was wondering what he was doing here.

• Hello, he said, you must be Luke.

Apparently he hadn't recovered his memory.

I guessed you name because your friend told me so. I got your address from Officer Stern at the police station who explained to me that if you hadn't been there, I would probably be dead by now. I wanted to bring this small token of good will to you for saving my life and ...

He was struggling with his words. He was so nervous and absolutely not the Philip I had known.

• ... and apologizing if I have been of any inconvenience to you. I am so sorry, but there is a whole part of my life I have absolutely no idea of. I know you came to the hospital with Officer Stern. I now remember my childhood and the last I remember is when I was eighteen years old. All the rest of my life between my eighteen's birthday and the day I woke up in the hospital, is completely gone. Officer Stern told me that maybe you would be able to help me, if you want to.

I felt sorry for him. I couldn't even see him as an ex anymore as he didn't remember a thing about what we had. He didn't recall the hurt he had caused. He didn't know he had cheated on me. God! He didn't even remember we ever had a relationship.

• You know? he said, your face seems familiar to me, but I can't place it, neither in time nor in place. Officer Stern told me you are a good man. I can believe him, but he also said I hurt you. I truly apologize for that. As I don't know what I did between my eighteen's birthday and awakening in hospital, I have to believe Officer Stern and I think it is my duty to apologize to you. I was ... I was hoping you could give me some information about my past and help me recover my memory.

I could see AndrŽ was worried as well. Maybe not for the same reasons I had, but still ... I didn't know what to do and I pleaded with my eyes for AndrŽ to help me. But AndrŽ made me understand it was something that was completely up to me. For once, he had to be early at the restaurant as they had a wedding banquet. He showed me his watch making me understand he had to dress to go to work. Nonetheless I wanted him with me in this situation, knowing he couldn't stay. I also knew he would be worried to death leaving me alone with Philip. In his eyes I suddenly saw a sparkle. He had an idea. He took my cell phone and went into the house. A few minutes later he came out and turned to Philip.

• Is Mrs. Spencer your psychologist?

• Yes she is, Philip answered.

• She is on her way. I think it is a good idea if she assists you with this matter.

That was my AndrŽ! He knew instinctively what to do and had, once more, found the perfect solution. He disappeared a few moments later as he had to shower and dress to go to the restaurant. When he came back, dressed in his tuxedo, I could see a certain hunger in Philip's eyes. Yes, AndrŽ was VERY attractive in his tuxedo. He kissed me goodbye, shook Philip's hand, got his keys and his wallet and was off.

I had no reasons to fear to be alone with Philip, but nonetheless I felt uncomfortable. I had no idea how far Philip was with his therapy with the psychologist. I had not a clue as what I could say or not. We had to wait till Mrs. Spencer was there. She would know what to do or what to say. I was relieved when I hear the front doorbell.

Mrs. Spencer was that typical overweighed black woman that puts everyone at ease immediately. I thanked her profusely for coming over so quickly. She was well aware of who I was. After all, she worked together with the police station and Officer Stern had told her every little detail he had. Before we went through to the porch, she wanted a moment alone with me. She was anxious to know how I felt about the situation and Philip coming over unannounced. I told her the truth and with that information we went to see Philip. He seemed happy to see her. It was clear they had a good relationship and that Philip confided in her.

• So, Philip, why did you come over here today? Mrs. Spencer asked.

• I wanted to thank Luke here for saving my life and apologize to him for any inconvenience I could have caused him. I also wanted to know if he could give me any information about my past that would allow me to recover my memory or part of it.

• How far have you gotten so far, she then asked.

• Well, Luke has let me in although I know I have been a nuisance to him. His friend has had the good idea of calling you. His face is familiar to me although I don't have any idea from where or when.

• Ok Philip, if Luke here is willing to give you information, good or bad, are you ready to accept it as just that? Information?

• Yes, I think I am ready for that. Of course, I have no idea what kind of information I will get and how I will react to it. I will do my very best to accept it as such and not over-react. That's why I am so happy you are here. You are probably the only woman in this world that can keep me at my place.

They had both a smile at that. I was still nervous as hell. I had no idea what kind of information I should tell or not! I had the feeling I was going to need Mrs. Spencer as much as Philip needed her. I wished AndrŽ had been able to stay.

On Mrs. Spencer's advice, I started to give Philip the information he was looking for. I told him our history of how we met, what he had given to me, our living together and finally the reason I kicked him out. As the story went on, his eyes became as big as saucers. He had problems believing me. He couldn't imagine cheating on me if we were in a relationship. He asked we where we had lived and apparently he didn't even recognize the house.

Mrs. Spencer was surprised at how calm Philip was and stayed. She thought it was a good sign. Philip was assimilating the information but it was all NEW information to him. I wanted to make things very clear.

• Listen Philip, you have to understand I don't mind to give you missing pieces of information, but there is absolutely no way at all that you come back into my life. I understand that you don't remember a thing, but I do! What happened between us is definitely over and out. I have AndrŽ in my life and he means the world to me. If I have to define our relationship in one word it would be "mistrust". You shattered my life and my trust to pieces and that is something I will never forget. It is now over three years since what we had is over and I want to keep it that way. I don't wish you anything good or bad, I wish you what you deserve.

Philip looked puzzled. He was not devastated. He was awfully calm.

• I understand that, he said, and I thank you for your time and patience. I'll be in debt with you for the rest of my life and I can promise you one thing: I'll do my very best to not be the jerk I've been. Mrs. Spencer here is witness to this promise. I won't bother you again.

With that he stood up and we all did. He went to the front door. Mrs. Spencer thanked me profusely and understood how difficult it had been for me to recall all the events. She said that not a lot of people would have accepted to do so. Once I closed the door behind them, I crumbled to the floor and sobbed. Philip was so much the one I had known at the beginning of our relationship: gentle, caring and showing the good education he had received. On the other hand I guessed that he wouldn't have any problem falling into his old routine again as he had done before. I felt pity for him and hoped that Mrs. Spencer would help him as much as she could. Philip had the right to receive a second chance, but I was not going to allow him back in my life.

The events of that morning got to me and I needed to cool down. I dove in the pool and let the water refresh my whole body. I put a lot of efforts to swim my laps with all the strength my muscles wanted to give me. Normally seen I swim about ten to fifteen laps, but his time I reached the fifty! When I felt I couldn't do any more, I got out of the water and stretched on the lounge chairs we had on the porch. The sun was warming me up and dried the droplets on my skin. Totally unusual to me, I fell asleep.

When I woke up, AndrŽ was standing next to me, shaking my arm softly. I was cold and noticed it was dark. How long had I been sleeping? When I tried to move, my whole body hurt. I was severely sunburned. AndrŽ went into the house to fetch some after-sun cream and very delicately applied it to my body. If I hadn't been so burned, it would have been erotic, but it wasn't! Although he did it with a lot of care, it hurt a lot. I was suddenly shivering and feeling cold. AndrŽ suggested taking me to the hospital. I told him we would wait till the after-sun cream had done its work, but in less than a minute my skin had absorbed what AndrŽ had so patiently applied. He started again at my face and when he reached my feet, my face was already dry again. We went to bed because AndrŽ had been working all day and I took the cream with me. As it was just the front of my body that was sunburned, I could apply it myself. I did that several times during the night, as I couldn't sleep. I calculated I had been sleeping over ten hours in the sun!

By morning the bottle of after-sun cream was empty, but I felt a lot better. Of course, I was as red as a lobster! My skin felt sore. I knew I need hydrating my body as much as possible and even during the night I had emptied a big bottle of water. I would have to continue that all during the day as well. As soon as Philip was awake he went to the pharmacy and bought more cream. By the end of the day, the redness started to fade and I felt almost back to normal.

I had told what had happened with Philip and his psychologist. I didn't hide anything to AndrŽ. We had built our relationship on trust and he had the right to know how I felt about the whole situation. He had a worried look on his face.

• Is there something bothering you? I asked.

• Yes and no, he answered. What kind of feelings do you have towards Philip now?

• I feel pity. Nothing else. Yes, Philip is again like he used to be at the start of our relationship, but I can't fall in love again! You know why? Because all my love is for you! I love you like I have never loved before in my life. Even at the early start of my relationship with Philip, I have never loved him as much as I love you. You are my world and my reason for living. I even wonder what I saw in Philip at the time! Today I know what it is to love and to be loved and that is all thanks to you. Please AndrŽ, don't worry. You have no reason at all to think I will go back to Philip. I am with you and I want us to grow old together. I don't want anybody else in my life. As soon as my burned skin allows me to, I will prove that to you.

He seemed relieved and smiled at me. He kissed me delicately on the lips as to not hurt me with the sunburns.

I was fortunate to not peel off. My skin recuperated quickly and turned into a nice tan. Of course, I had a nice tan on the front of my body, but my back was still as white as before. I would have to work on that, but with the work in the garden and a lot of patience I got an even color in front and on my back.

At work we had yet another record of sales. I was so proud of my team and my boss was proud of me! This time I didn't even had to ask for a budget to invite my team, as my boss offered it before I even mentioned it. He even suggested inviting wives and partners as well. I offered the possibility of having a celebration with wives and partners, but most of the team preferred it without them. The following week we were once again seated at the big central table of "Delicatessen" and, as usual, AndrŽ looked after everything. The dinner was fantastic and the guys were happy. That made me happy, too.

Daniel and Antonio had a major makeover of their garden and the pool. Daniel tried to change his pool every two years, so he could display the latest models. It was a huge investment, but he said it was more than worth it. I went over to redo the landscape of the garden on weekends. AndrŽ helped as well on his free days. Daniel had provided us with the key to their house so we could get in even if they were not there. On a Saturday morning I went over and rang the bell. As nobody came to open the door, I used the key. Just as I was about to open the backyard door, I could see two men making out. One was Antonio but the other one was not Daniel. They were lying on the lawn next to the new pool and I could see they were already in the process of undressing one another. I didn't know what to do. The scene was erotic and hot. I felt guilty of voyeurism, but on the other hand I didn't want to be of any nuisance. I had no idea if Daniel and Antonio had an open relationship or if Antonio was cheating on Daniel. There was no doubt about what they were doing and they were just starting it. As we had had some foursomes, I knew Antonio liked to take his time and would be busy with that other guy for at least an hour, if not more. It was impossible for me to just sit in their kitchen waiting for them to finish. The other guy had just stripped Antonio of his shorts and I saw Antonio's hard-on pointing to the sky. The guy didn't lose any time and I saw Antonio's cock disappear in his mouth. Even though the door was closed, I heard Antonio's moans and groans. The guys must have been doing something right because the noises escaping from Antonio's mouth were getting louder and, I would say, very specific! Antonio had his hands on the guy's head and pushed his cock deeper in his mouth, arching his back and lifting his hips. As he was coming up for air, the guy stood up and took off his remaining clothes. Even though I was at some distance, I could appreciate a well-toned body and a dick as hard as Antonio's. My own cock started to swell in my briefs and I had to readjust myself to be comfortable.

The guy dropped back on his knees and swallowed Antonio's cock entirely in his mouth. After a while, Antonio's cock fell out of the guy's mouth and he stroked it while the guy put his hands behind his knees and lifted his legs high into the air. Antonio instinctively spread them wide and gave perfect access to his nether regions, including balls, perineum and rosebud. The guy got the invitation clear and went for his rosebud, pushing his face between Antonio's buttocks. I had seen my share of porn, but these two men were far better. I was surprised at how fast they went from one thing to another and when the guy spat on his cock, I knew he was going to enter Antonio at any time. I was taken aback when I saw they didn't use condoms. When we had had our foursomes, we had always used protection and I was damned glad we had, as Antonio was not really bothered. The guy pointed his cock-head to Antonio's hole and pushed in in one thrust! That must have hurt, I thought, but Antonio didn't seem to think that as he grabbed the guy's ass with his hands and pulled him even deeper. The least that could be said was that the guy on top knew how to use his hips! He pounded Antonio's ass with strength and speed. I had pulled my cock out of my shorts and was beating my meat watching them. When I heard the guy scream, I knew he was filling Antonio's bowels with his juice. It sent me over the edge and I cupped my own juice in my free hand. The guy stood up and jumped in the pool, leaving Antonio stroking himself to completion. After he climaxed, Antonio as well jumped into the water. They swam a few laps and then jumped out of the pool, dried themselves and dressed. It seemed Antonio was coming inside, so I hurried to the front door and did as if I had just arrived.

Oh, there you are, said Antonio. Good to see you. I have a friend who came over to help. I want to finish the garden today and two extra hands will be welcome. You want a bottle of water as well?

I gladly accepted and went out to meet the guy. Antonio introduced him as Michael and after studying his face for a moment, I knew I had seen him before, but didn't remember where or when. We went to work. Michael knew what he was doing and seemed to be familiarized with plants and flowers. He gave me a few instructions and showed me how to do things in a more efficient way. I was grateful for that because it would help me in the future in my garden as well. He was constantly very close to me and I felt his hands on my buttocks more than once, but didn't acknowledge that I felt it. After a few attempts Michael stopped it, sensing he had no chance with me.

By early afternoon Daniel arrived and greeted first Antonio, then me. He looked over at Michael and it was clear he didn't know him, as Antonio introduced him. Daniel didn't look pleased. I played the innocent one. Daniel asked me when Michael had arrived and I could honestly say he was there when I arrived. I didn't mention what I had seen. I was thorn between two friends and didn't want to put my nose in their affairs. It was a fact I had more affinity with Daniel, but Antonio was an ok guy to me. Around four everything was done. Michael left pretending he had an appointment. Antonio seemed to avoid direct contact with Daniel. I didn't like it. It was always a rough time when I saw two friends in disagreement, whatever the reason was. As the work was done, Daniel offered a beer and I accepted, promising myself that as soon my bottle was empty, I would find an excuse to leave. There was a definite tension between them and I was not willing to witness any outburst between them.

When AndrŽ arrived home after his work, I told him what I had seen and the tension that there was between Daniel and Antonio. He was as surprised as I had been witnessing the scene. We were convinced Daniel and Antonio had a good relationship! I felt for Daniel, but vowed not to say a word if he didn't ask me anything. AndrŽ agreed that it was none of our business. When I mentioned that Michael had not used condoms, AndrŽ thought it would be good to be tested again. We had used condoms with them, but not when sucking.

On the following Monday we had an appointment with our doctor and we were tested. The first test came back negative for both of us, but the doctor advised to redo the test in a month time. So we did and the second test declared us clean and well. The doctor had taken the opportunity of testing a few more things a part from the STD and told me my cholesterol was a little too high. He was concerned about it and wanted me to cut down on a few products such as butter and other animal fats. I sure would have to adapt my way of cooking as I used quite some butter. The doctor said to replace it by olive oil. He warned me it would need a time to adapt to the taste, but that my body would certainly be the main beneficiary.

On a Wednesday, after work, I arrived home and found AndrŽ and Daniel on the porch having a beer. I kissed them and started to take off my office clothes.

• Are you joining me for a swim? I asked.

In no time we were all naked and in the water. It entered my mind a thousand times what a good idea AndrŽ had had when suggesting the swimming pool. After a hard day at work, meeting clients, discussing sales strategies and facing the boss, a jump in the pool was heaven on earth. It was not necessary to swim for hours. Just a jump in the water and a few laps were enough to cool down and feel like new. Back on the porch, we sat in the sun and dried naturally. With Daniel it seemed so natural to be naked. I offered a second drink, but after the swim nobody was in for beer. I had a bottle of wine chilling in the fridge and that's what I opened. Once everybody was served, Daniel's face had a serious expression.

• Luke, can I ask you something?

• Sure Daniel, go ahead!

• You remember the day we finished the garden, don't you?

I nodded and feared the worst.

• Do you remember that guy, Michael?

I nodded again and knew instinctively there was something going on.

• Have you witnessed anything going on between Michael and Antonio?

There we were. I knew that sooner or later the subject would come up. AndrŽ put his hand on my arm and I looked at him. He nodded and squeezed my arm at the same time. Daniel saw it.

• Ok, he said, don't say anything. My intuition was right. You are a true friend and you don't want to interfere in my things. The fact that you didn't answer says enough for me. I know Antonio is seeing someone else. We had agreed to have a monogamous relationship and would indulge an extra sexual partner, TOGETHER, if the occasion presented itself. So that you know guys, the only persons we had sex with were you, at least for me. But... I am not so sure about Antonio. During the last few months, his sexual appetite has reduced a lot. Antonio has always had a very high sex-drive and we now have sex less than once a week. He is coming up with women's excuses such as headache! But that is not all. He talks less. He is secretive as to where he is going or where he comes from. He gets extremely nervous and even angry when I ask him the simplest questions. I tried to talk to him, but he always accuses me of jealousy and mistrust. I am afraid we are already further than the beginning of the end.

Daniel looked sad. It was clear to us that he still loved Antonio but that it was all slipping out of his hands. It was not that he wanted to have a control on his relationship, but he wanted to understand. He was wondering where it had gone wrong. They had everything to be happy. They were healthy and had good jobs. They had friends and family that loved them. They were financially secure and could afford whatever it was they needed.

• I have the suspicion that Antonio has an on-going affair with Michael. When I asked him where and when they met, Antonio just says it was a very, very long time ago and he pretends it is that long ago that he doesn't even remember where they met. Whatever question I have about Michael is answered in a very elusive way. And when I have more than two questions, he gets angry. Antonio has never been that way. He has always been an open book to me. Now the book is closed and the door to the library is locked!

I didn't know what to do. I KNEW Antonio was fucking around with Michael and I had witnessed it once. Thinking rationally, I had to tell Daniel what I saw, but as I knew he would be devastated receiving such a confirmation, I was not so sure about telling him. AndrŽ was not so subtle about it all. AndrŽ was a lot more forward than I was and even if we had had sex with Daniel and Antonio, AndrŽ had admitted to me that he accepted Antonio because he was with Daniel. Otherwise, he would not have contact with Antonio because he thought there was something not "straight" with Antonio.

• Listen Daniel, AndrŽ said, Luke doesn't want to hurt you, but yes, he witnessed Antonio and Michael fucking on the lawn of your garden. They don't know it because he saw it from inside your house. He went over that day to help with the garden and as no one answered the door he used the spare key you gave us. Before opening the door to the backyard he saw them making out. We didn't know if you had agreements in your couple, or an open relationship. That's why we never mentioned it.

Daniel's eyes got moist and a single tear rolled down on his cheek.
