I walked in the doorway and saw Ames, hard at work. I wanted lunch and I knew he was in, plus I just really wanted to see him…

"How do you manage to look so comfortable in that suit?" I asked with a small smile.

He looked up and smirked, "I could say the same thing about those heels." He pointed out as I took a look at my 6 inch heels.

"Beauty is pain." I told him, "At least that's what my mother says." Every model said that and my mom wasn't an exception.

He laughed, "That does sound like Harper." He nodded, "Though I'm glad to know you're longer hiding in your apartment, what do I owe the pleasure?" He asked.

I smiled and shrugged, "I'm pretty sure you owe me a lunch since when I woke up in your place with a killer hangover I might add, I realized there was literally nothing in your fridge and went hungry."

He cringed, "Damn, I didn't even think about sending you food, I'm so sorry."

I shrugged, "I survived. Make it up to me?" I asked with a smile.

He nodded and stood up, "I'd love to." He said, walking us out of his office. "What would you like to eat? He asked as we walked downstairs and on to the breezy parisian street.

I shrugged, "That cafe down the street is pretty good. They have amazing panini's." I smiled.

"Then let's go." He gave me a warm smile as we walked down the street, "You're looking much better."

I nodded, "Thanks to you Ames… I didn't thank you enough for taking me out." I shrugged, "I might have been a complete mess, but I think I needed it." I grinned.

"A complete mess is a bit of an overstatement." He grinned, "There were worse girls there."

I shrugged, "Okay, a complete mess for me. Yeah I used to party a lot, but I usually remembered most of the night."

"Sometimes we need to lose ourselves for a bit to feel better." He smiled as we walked into the restaurant and was led to our table. I also couldn't help but notice all the waitresses and hostesses staring at Ames as we walked in. Was this some weird dimension where every woman was just hypnotized by him?

"Hi Ames." The waitress brought him a drink with a big smile, "What can I get you?" She asked, which surprised me since she was staring at Ames.

He smiled at her, "I think she'll have a water and then get back to you."

She nodded, biting her lip, "Okay." She walked off.

"What the hell was that?!" I turned to Ames with a smirk.

"I've been here a few times."

I scoffed, "Oh, I can tell. It's like all the women here are eyefucking you Ames!"

"I flirt with them." He shrugged, "They're nicer that way."

I rolled my eyes, "Well you're with me, so no more flirting."

"Are you bossing me around?" He asked with a brow raised.

I nodded, "Yes. You got all weird when I was making out with that guy at the club, now it's my turn to get weird." I noticed the waitress walking back as I started grinning and laughing while I leaned in towards Ames.

"Baby, do you just want to share lunch? I'm really not that hungry." I smirked as she walked up to us.

"Uhm, I don't know Mila…" He trailed off, raising a brow.

I trailed my palm across his chest as I fingered the buttons hidden underneath his tie and opened them, slipping my fingers and rubbed his chest, "What do you recommend?" I asked the waitress with a wicked grin.

The waitress glared and then stomped off as I tried to stifle my laugh, "Wow, that was worse than I thought it would be." I said, tilting my head to the side as I pulled away from him.

"I, uhm. I have a date with her later this week." He said guiltily.

I laughed, "Oh god. I'm a c.ockblock. I'm so sorry." I said, not very sorry.

He shrugged, "Though we might be getting our food sneezed on…" He trailed off with a concerned look.

I stood up, "Oh god, not on my watch. I love this place!" I called the waitress over and I lowered my voice, "We're not actually dating… I'm just tired of people thinking I'm his sister or something!" I shrugged, "I'm sorry for being a catty bitch."

She sighed, "You're forgiven. I was a little pissed. He's incredibly hot." She laughed, making me laugh right back.

I nodded as I walked over to Ames and sat down with a smile, "All taken care of." I told him, "And I ordered."

"What did you say to her?" He raised a brow.

I shrugged, "We came to an understanding." I said with a small grin.

"That's frightening."

I grinned wider, "I told her we wanted to have a threesome." I told him as he choked on his water.

"Milena!" He said, making me laugh.

I shook my head, "I'm kidding. I told her I was just playing around with you, that you were like my big brother but I was sick of everyone hitting on you when we were together."

He cleared his throat and nodded, "Your big brother, huh?"

I nodded, "She was understanding, she said she didn't know how she was going to handle girls staring at you during your date." I rolled my eyes.

He smirked, "Girls don't stare at me everywhere I go."

"Are you kidding? It's like going out with Noah. I feel like I'm five minutes away from being dumped for bathroom sex." I told him.

"I've never even had bathroom sex." He said seriously.

I widened my eyes, "Really? You should, it's hot." He choked again.

"I'll remember that." He said strained.

"Don't act like you've never thought about it…" I smirked at him.

"I haven't." He told me.

"Liar!!" I laughed, "Seriously. There is nothing like just being so hot for someone that you have to do them right then and there…" I trailed off, biting my lip and just thinking about it… God I really needed to get laid. I was so hard up and my vibrator just wasn't doing it for me anymore…

"Okay Milena, stop it." He strained out.

I smirked, "Am I making you uncomfortable?" I breathed out, winking at him.

"It's weird hearing you talk like this…" He cringed.

I rolled my eyes, "I'm a 25 year old warm blooded woman who likes sex!" I said a little loudly, alerting our neighboring tables. "Sorry." I said, shrugging.

"I understand Mila."

I shook my head, "I don't think you do! Because you keep looking at me like the little girl you knew when we were teens." I told him, "If we're going to be friends, we should be mature about things, including sex!"

"Do you want to hear about my sex life?" He smirked.

I shrugged, "Sure. Tell me Ames."

"I was planning on having sex with that waitress." He grinned, crossing his arms.

I laughed, "Tell me how it goes after it happens."

"What do you mean?" He asked me.

I shrugged, "I mean you take her home, do her, then what?"

He stared back at me, "Then round two?" He joked with a smirk.

I grinned, "I mean after all the rounds."

He shrugged, "I'm not one of those guys who kicks a girl out right after and goes to the next one. Hell I dated Charlotte for over a month and didn't sleep with anyone else."

"So you're a player with a conscience?" I teased him, making him laugh.

"Something like that." He said, reaching out to push my hair back and then quickly pulled away.

"Cute." I teased him, "God, I am so horny." I breathed out thinking about how his touch electrified me.

"I am sorry about that…" He trailed off.

I smiled, "It's not your fault. Well a little your fault for denying every guy trying to hit on me." I teased him.

He held his hands up, "I just didn't want any of them taking advantage of you, but if you're fine with it, I'll back off." He grinned.

"It's not taking advantage when I want them to do it." I winked at him making him groan, "So you've never had a one night stand?"

"Maybe in college." He admitted, "But I'm not proud of them."

"You do have a sweet soul." I teased him as I the waitress brought out the food we had ordered and dug in, "So what are you planning on doing with the waitress?" I asked him with a grin.

"Her name is Lucie." He grinned, "And I was just planning on taking her out to dinner." He shrugged.

"And then the horizontal shuffle at your place?" I winked at him.

He laughed, "Horizontal shuffle?" He smirked.

"I'm not a guy, I don't know the slang." I shrugged.

"It's called sex." He laughed, "I don't know maybe. We'll have to see how the night goes."

I smirked, "Ames, that girl has been staring at you since we got here. She's thought of what's underneath that suit more than a few times. She's going to let you have sex with her."

"Well that ruined the element of surprise." He grinned, "But let's not say that and jinx it." He knocked on the table.

"You can't be too surprised, Ames. You're handsome, smart… a total catch as I have said this before. You know she's going to give it up." I winked.

"Okay bro." He joked, "Thanks for the pep talk, but I think I'll be fine. How about you? Any hot dates?"

I rolled my eyes, "Because guys are lining up at my door, eager for a date with a girl who's a complete and total mess and was cheated on?" I smirked, "No guy wants this right now. I'll have to wait, which sucks for my libido."

"Uhm. Every guy wants that." He said seriously. "You just described most guys dream date."

I laughed, "Vulnerable and hard up?" I asked as he nodded.

"Exactly. If you wanted a one night stand you could have one in like two minutes."

"That's very flattering, thank you. Though it doesn't seem like your style."

He shrugged, "Probably not." He admitted. He was almost close to perfect…

I crossed my legs, "This is interesting. Why not? You're a guy, what makes you different?"

He licked his lips, "You're making me sound like a good guy when really it's more of an ego thing." He admitted to me.

I blinked, "An ego thing?" I asked confused, "What do you mean?"

He sighed and ran a hand through his hair, "Like if she's going to sleep with me, I want her to be sober and know exactly what she's doing. I don't want her to regret it, I want her to brag about it." He grinned, "I like my girl's begging for it because they want me, not because they're trying to forget an ex, or they're wasted."

I wanted to beg for sex from him…. F.ck what was wrong with me? I was pining after a guy who didn't even like me that way.

I bit down on my lip, "You want your girls begging for it?" I breathed out, knowing I'd beg happily.

"I know, I know. I'm a cocky bastard." He teased, but I didn't see it that way. It was sexy.

I swallowed, thinking about it and I pushed my legs together, trying to control what was going down underneath. I could feel myself get wet just thinking about that. I had a few fetishes… I liked rough sex, being tied up, and I loved a dominant man. Braden did that occasionally…  but we stopped having sex towards the end. I mean I was basically hot all the time… I went from having a lot of sex to none, so I was going crazy. I was a bit of a nympho, not many people realized that. When people looked at me, they thought I was completely innocent… I wasn't sure what it was all about.

"I think its actually pretty hot." I blushed at the thought.

"Yeah?" He smirked.

I nodded, "I understand that whole thing. Honestly, I like being controlled…" I bit my lip.

I saw his adam's apple bob, "Well, I didn't know that."

"I don't advertise it and most guys don't find out until in to the relationship." I grinned, "Oh and another thing? I like begging for more." I smirked.

"Braden's an idiot." He smirked at me.

I nodded, "I know… Honestly I realized that there is nothing wrong with me. He was an a.sshole."

"Well I'm glad you realized that… He didn't deserve you, even from the beginning."

I gave him a small smile, "I'm a girl, we do stupid things sometime." I joked.

"I've noticed that about girls." He teased me, "You look beautiful today Milena." He said out of nowhere, surprising me.

I blinked back at him, "Thanks." I told him with a smile as I unbuttoned another one of the buttons on his shirt, "You don't look too bad yourself." I tilted my head to the side, and all I could think about was ripping the shirt open and licking down his chest, "Maybe we should hook up, then I could ease my libido and you could have bathroom se.x." I told him half serious, half joking. I wanted to kiss him. I wanted to feel him.

"Yeah, but then you'd have to explain to the waitress again, and it would be a big mess." He said, brushing me off. I knew he didn't want me and that just proved it… He couldn't even joke with me. I hated the fact that he just saw me as a friend. Did girls ever get stuck in the friend zone? Because I had VIP seats…

"Something tells me it'd be worth it…" I breathed out, with a small shrug as I sipped my water.

He licked his lips, "I'm sure it would."

I grinned, wondering what he was thinking… did he want me, or was this just wishful thinking.

There were moments I thought he liked me and then… his mood completely changed and it's like we were siblings. It infuriated me; couldn't he just do something that gave me a definitive answer…

"Here's the check." The waitress came back, handing the bill back to us, "I can't wait for our date Ames…" She said, biting her lip, making Ames smile.

"Me too." He told her as she nodded and then walked off. I rolled my eyes as I grabbed the bill out of his hand, "What are you doing?"

"I invited you to lunch, shouldn't I pay Casanova?" I smirked at him.

He shook his head, "I'm the man, I should pay."

I rolled my eyes, "Because you have a penis, that entitles you to pay?" I shrugged, "Fine, you bear the burden I guess."

"Haha, funny." He smirked as he placed his credit card in the bill.

"I should be able to pay once! I mean you took me out a few nights ago and paid for my drinks, then you let me stay over. Now you're paying for lunch. I'm not poor!" I grinned.

"I know, but I'm a gentleman… I want to treat you Mila." He told me with a genuine smile.

I sighed, "Fine, but I owe you…" I smiled, "OOH! I have the perfect way to do that. Let me cook for you!"

He shook his head, "You don't owe me."

"Please?" I batted my eyelashes, "I'm a pretty decent cook! I can get us wine, or whatever else you drink and we can have a nice night in. It's the only way I can think of paying you back that isn't sexual."

He raised a brow, "Okay, okay. You can make dinner for me."

I grinned, "Thank you." The waitress came back over and I smiled at him, "You two are going to have an amazing date. He's a great guy." I said with a small wink as she took the bill to cash us out.

"Okay, now what was that all about?" He raised a brow.

"I'm just talking you up. I want you to get laid." I grinned.

"Thanks bro." He smirked at me.
