now is one of my favorites so far, and that’s saying a lot because we’ve had a lot of scenes. I smirk as the three of us walk out of the bank. All dressed in fitted matching suits, tailored to make every woman around us want to be closer, and every man wants to know our secret. We’re powerful when we’re together. We know it. We use it to our advantage.
The Trifecta is in full force. We walk out of the bank, in calculated movements, drawing every eye to us. We never have to practice. Simpering women ask us all the time if we do our movements on purpose, pawing at one of us with lust in their eyes. We tell them the same thing, no. The triplet instincts are strong with us.
The sunglasses come on in one motion covering our bright green eyes from the hot sun. Our arms bend at the elbow, one at a time, unbuttoning our crisp white cuffs before pulling down our suit sleeves, the emerald cufflinks capturing and releasing the sun in sparkling brilliance.
We strut toward Damien’s, the youngest triplet’s, black Range Rover. Climbing in we shut the doors in unison blocking our shine from the staring onlookers.
As soon as we pull away from the parking lot we all let out a collective breath. The radio is shut off allowing our sighs to ping around the interior. After a moment, Axel, the second in line lets out a light chuckle. Damien follows and soon I’m in on it. Our chuckles turn into a full out raucous laughter. We laugh so hard if any of our patrons saw us they’d dry up like the Sahara.
But here we are under the protection of the dark tint of the SUV, laughing like giddy school girls. But in a manly way, of course.
“We did it gentlemen,” I say, attempting to get myself together. As the oldest, by ten minutes, twenty for Damien, I’m the one who keeps the Trifecta together, upholding our status and all we’ve worked for.
“Fuck yeah, boys.” Damien takes his hand off the steering wheel and gives the two of us high fives.
Axel’s the most excited about what we just did. We’re one step closer to getting out of the business, something Axel’s been waiting a long time for. Axel hates what we do for a living. Damien, always the one wanting to prove himself, sees it as a means to an end. Me, well, I love it. I’m good at it.
We’re all good at it, but I thrive off it.
“Now comes the hard part.” We roll our eyes at Damien. He’s always the one looking at the next step.
“Come on, Damien. Let us at least be happy for a minute before we have to think about all the hard work we’re in for. We deserve this,” Axel says, glancing at Damien through the rearview mirror.
“I’m just saying.”
“We both know,” I say, stopping Damien’s rant we’ve all heard countless times before.
“All right. I’m proud of us, and we did work hard to get the loan today. Let’s celebrate tonight.”
I grin knowing Damien’s happy. Hell, we’re all fucking happy. Our dreams are finally coming true.
“I’m in,” I say as Axel nods.
“After work tonight we’ll celebrate our first step of getting out of this business.” Damien pounds the steering wheel in excitement as we turn onto our street where our childhood house sits.
“So, that means no extra guest tonight, Ben,” Axel says, punching me in the arm.
“I’ll just have to find someone willing to play with me at work.”
“Damn it, Ben. You’re going to get us in trouble again. You know Willie doesn’t want you playing on the job. If you get caught again.”
I cut Damien off, “If I get caught again we’ll have to endure another boring ass lecture about how we’re supposed to look attainable, but can’t be attainable. Blah, blah, blah.”
“Just don’t fuck it up tonight. I hate having to show your girl of the night out of the house,” Axel says as Damien parks the car in the driveway.
“Fine, Axel boy, I’ll give you a break for tonight. I’ll be all polished off before we clock out.”
Damien groans as we walk into the house.
“You know I wouldn’t complain if either of you decided to bring a woman home. Maybe if the two of you loosened up, and had some fun you wouldn’t be so upset having to usher out the wobbly-legged women I bring home. We’re the Trifecta, why don’t you use it?”
“Because
