Wrong Point

"You know how I was telling you about Joe?" Veronica asks Susan as the two sat around the table, nursing their glasses of wine.

"The one in accounting? Isn't he the one who asked you out a few weeks ago?" her friend and colleague replies.

"That's right, I did end up meeting up with him for coffee a few days after that," Veronica nods, taking another sip of her wine, she had yet to touch the entrees in front of her.

"How'd that go?"

"It went pretty well actually," she thinks back on the great time she had had. 

Joe was a good guy, he made her laugh and was able to string along a conversation without once bringing up work. She had left that outing thinking she might agree to a second one if he asked. Things just had to get complicated instead.

"So then why are you on your second glass of wine in less than twenty minutes?" her friend asks, having noticed.

"About a week after that date, Hugo from R and D asked me out," she admits, slumping into her spot in the booth. 

"Aren't you Miss Popular," her friend scoffs, rolling her eyes. "So what? You like them both and can't decide who you like more? Are you in some TV drama?"

"Truthfully, it was like that at first, but in the end, it didn't matter," she takes a large sip of her wine as she recalls what happened only two days ago.

"And why is that? They couldn't wait for you to make up your mind and gave up? It'd serve you right."

"Well, I'm not so sure it's that they gave up because I was taking too long to decide, and while my delay may have played a hand in what happened, I don't think that's the most important reason."

Susan frowns, "You're making no sense right now. Just tell me what happened."

"Turns out both of them are bisexual," she tells her.

This causes her friend to sit there blinking as she soaks in that answer. "So," she says slowly. "You have something against that?"

"I couldn't have cared less," Veronica waves off the accusation. "No matter which one I had chosen, that wouldn't have been a problem. No, the problem is that they both like men as well as women, so spending so much time near each other...well, I'm sure you can figure out the rest."

Susan stares for a moment before she finally bursts into laughter. "No," she wheezes out. "You took so long to decide which guy you wanted to date, that they ended up dating each other instead?"

Veronica sighs before chugging the remainder of the wine in her glass. "You don't have to laugh about it," she mumbles under her breath. 

"It really serves you right," Susan says, wiping a tear from under her eye. "You lost both of them to each other, that's classic."

Veronica huffs, reaching for the wine bottle and pouring herself another drink. She wanted to forget all of it by the time this night was over.

Prompt: Reverse trope - Love triangle where the two love interests get together instead.

If someone were to turn this prompt into a novel length story, I would probably read it. I mean, I usually hate love triangles, but this would be too funny to pass up. No matter which two points of the triangle got together, it would be a blast. 

I probably could have expanded on this little story, made it more exciting, but I like to keep these short and sweet. No one comes to a blog to read a novella. I'm loving these reverse tropes though, I'm having so much fun.
