"So we're meeting with Amelia's agent?" I asked, annoyed that mine had dragged me off to some office building to have a meeting about my relationship with Amelia. Or my lack of one.
"They'll both be there." I blinked and stepped hard on the breaks. "What the fuck Gav!"
"Amelia's going to BE there?!"

"Of course she is! My god...what is wrong with you?"
"I'd think she wouldn't want to see me." I said under my breath and my agent laughed.
"You say that about all the girls you fuck Gav, stop being a manwhore and you wont have to deal with pissed off women."
"Don't talk about shit you don't know anything about." I said seriously, about ready to hit the guy as I parked the car and headed into the office with him.
"We're here for me to know more about it." He said instead and I followed him to where I saw Amelia and another woman.
“Let’s get this over with.” The other woman beckoned the three of us into her office to chat.
"Hi." I said it without thinking, smiling at Mia who looked beautiful as always. She just gave me a tight smile and sat in the empty chair next to me. "How are you?" she shugged.
"Fine. You?" I wasn't sure what to say. That I missed her? That at least my Agent thought any news was good news and since scripts had been flying in this wasn't really an issue professionally as it was personally.
"Fine." I decided on, scratching the back of my neck as our agents messed around with their phones and tablets. "Why are we doing this?"
"My agent thinks sleeping with my sisters bff and resident hollywood playboy is affecting my image." She said almost as if she'd memorized it.
"Your image?" I was a little confused. Aria's image? Sure, she was still a disney princess to a lot of people, but Mia was always in the guy's comedies, she didn't really have a clean cut image and was well known as being kind of icy. She just shrugged.
"I don't know."
"Stealing away your sister's man makes your riff with Aria look way worse than it is, and the fact that you can't get along with the it girl was bad enough as it is." Her agent pointed out.
"I'm not Aria's man." I pointed out. "I never have been."
"You were on tv." I scoffed.
"I was her high school crush on tv. No one even remembers that show anymore."
"Besides the point, it would be one thing if you were actually together, people love a story of hate turning to love.....but whatever it is you were doing is-"
"None of your fu.cking buisness." Mia said under her breath. I caught her eye and smiled at her sweetly. She looked away .
"It is now." Joe, my agent replied. "So lets get it out there. Start at the beginning and tell us the truth, so we know just how to lie."
"What are you going to say exactly that makes this better?" Mia asked incredulously. "It was revenge sex. We were pissed off at our exes and took it out on each other." Both Joe and our agents just stared at us.
"Well it started that way. It turned out she's better in bed than she is in life so we kept it up." I shot her a grin and Mia rolled her eyes.
"Yeah and Gavin's overactive ego actually matched the size of his di.ck, which was surprising, but a pleasent surprise." I tried not to laugh as they just stared at us again. Mia and I might not be good at talking or relationships. But we'd never had any problems teasing each other.
"Spin that." I shot back. Watching Mia smirking but hiding it as soon as I turned towards her.
“Listen Amelia, I’m not kidding!” Her agent glared, “So stop being a smart.ss. We need to figure out something.”
“How about you two were practicing for a movie, but things fell through?” Mine suggested.
“Who’s going to believe that? If it’s just a movie, actors don’t sleep together to ‘practice.’ They fuck because they want to fuck.” Amelia laughed.
“So you want to tell the public that?” He glared back at her, “I’m sorry, but I’ve done a lot for Gavin’s career and I’ll be damned if a piece of ass messes that up.” Woah.
“Excuse you?!” Mia said, standing up, ready to punch him by the looks of it but I grabbed her hand and pulled her down. He wasn't worth it.
“Who cares what the public says?” I suggested, “I mean they never know the truth anyways.”
“This isn’t you just shoving greasy tacos down your throat, this is you screwing your best friend’s twin sister.” Mia's agent piped in.
“Can we just not talk about Aria? Please. Aria had absolutely nothing to do with my decision to start sleeping with him.”
“Like you said, the paparazzi never know the truth so the first thing they’re going to do is talk about your relationship with Aria.” And I hadn't talked to her in months anyways so they really couldn't call me her best friend. Not anymore at least. She still had stuff in my apartment.
“Then it doesn’t matter. There’s no reason to spin this whole situation."
"How about we tell them I want to be with her and she doesn't want to give me a damn chance?" I offered, the words coming out of my mouth faster than I could stop them.
"Hell no. I'm not turning Amelia into the girl who turns down hollywood's Romeo!" Mia's agent piped in and I raised a brow at her.
"Romeo dies at the end." I commented, not liking the nickname at all. "And I was serious. That's actually what happened."
"Gavin...." Mia trailed off awkwardly as she ran her hands through her hair. "That's....not what happened."
"Oh? So you didn't turn me down?"
"I.....I didn't know you were serious....you weren't! You were just asking to get the tabloids off our asses!"
"How the hell would dating you do that?!" I snapped, since I was still a little wounded. A lot actually. It had been one thing when Cara left...but it felt totally different with Mia. Cara and I were playing a part, the part of the boyfriend and girlfriend who loved each other. I wanted who she was in my head...but Amelia? I wanted her just the way she was, smart, firey, a little bitchy. Everything about her pushed my buttons in all the right ways.
"Gavin we don't get along at all." She said, seemingly oblivious to the others in the room.
"You're still holding on to this idea that you hate me Mia. That I was just good for mindless good sex that you were doing to get over a guy who was totally wrong for you. But we did more than fuck. Or don't you remember?" Mia's face turned from interested to blank and I knew she was shutting down. “See, this is what you do!” I exclaimed, “You shut me out! You shut anyone out who tries to give a damn. I don’t know what’s your damn problem.”
“I don’t have any problems.” she whispered.
“You’re afraid of getting close to any man because you think they’re all going to leave you when you need them most, just like your dad.” I had forgotten there was anyone else remotely around us right now. I was just talking my thoughts. “If it was just sex, how would I know that?”
“So what? We date and we live happily ever after?” she asked quietly.
“The two of us living happily ever after?” I scoffed, “Doubtful, but being together was fun and it felt amazing Amelia. For once in a relationship I was happy; even when we were arguing about the little sh.it or just even talking. You think that I would care to listen to a woman talk about their family issues? With you, it’s different.”
“Why me Gav?”
“Because you have a smart mouth.” I smirked, “You don’t take shit from me and I love it. I’m such a stubborn ass, but you’re worse. Dating would probably put us in the limelight even more, but I don’t give a damn!”
“I’m messed up Gav.” she said softly, looking innocent and vulnerable for the first time ever, “I’m so fucked up, dating me would be miserable.”
“You think I don’t know you’re messed up? I know! I want to listen! I want to know everything about you….”
“Gavin, this scares me…"
"You guys do realize that we're still here right?" I wasn't sure which one of our agents was speaking but the other one hit him.
"Shut up, this is the first time I've seen either of them so real." I ignored them both, getting to my knees in front of Mia and grabbing her hands, the move was instinctual. I didn't want to scare her.
"I don't want to lie to anyone. Not to Aria, not to the press, but certainly not to you. I like you. What's the worst that could happen? We end up hating each other and we're just back where we started." I teased and I saw the corners of her mouth twitch upwards.
"I don't want to lie either." she said softly, so opposite from the fiesty girl I knew.
"So don't. Tell me that you feel something here, because I do. I miss you." Amelia pulled her hair out of her face and blinked as she looked at me.
"I do too." She said finally. "But I don't know how this is going to work."
"This isn't a movie babe, there's not a script."
"Shit I didn't know you actually liked each other....that's a whole other story." I ignored my agent again to focus on Mia.
"Can we go somewhere we don't have an audience. Please?" Amelia nodded,
“Yes.” I grabbed her hand as we walked out of their office and into a completely empty conference room. “So where do we go from here?” she asked.
“Date each other.” I smirked, “You know, go out together, spend time together, not worry what others think about us.” Mia laughed and her eyes were sparkling again.
“And it’s that simple Gavin?”
“I want to be with you. I wouldn’t have asked you to go public if I didn’t. What else is there to know?”
“I’m totally fucked up.” she repeated.
“I don’t think I’d like you if you were normal.” I admitted, “Despite our pasts we actually work.”
“I guess we do Romeo.” she teased and I let out a groan.
“If that makes me Romeo, you’re Juliet and we’re both dead.”
“Romeo was an idiot. You’re definitely much better than him.” and then she kissed me. Damn I had missed her kisses.
“Our agents are probably having a field day. Trying to figure out how to further our careers in some way.” I said as I ran my hand across her back.
“That’s all that matters to them.”
“Because we pay them loads to only care about it.” I reminded her. She just sighed.
"So when do we start this?”
“Babe, it’s not a movie. We can leave together and we can be together. We know how to dodge the paps if needed, but we don’t have to hide.”
“You sound so confident.”
“When I want something, I am not going to hide it.”
“I like this Gavin… Much better then the asshole I first met.” I grinned and I wondered if I had really changed or if we had just realized the reason we didn't like each other is because we didn't realize how perfect we were for each other. Damn that didn't even make any sense.
“I like this Gavin… Much better then the as.shole I first met.” I grinned.
"Don't go thinking I'm not an as.shole anymore because you'll be sorely dissapointed." I smirked and Mia's lips tilted into a grin.
"I can think of better reasons for me to be sore Gav...." she trailed off and I groaned.
"There's my girl." I grabbed her arm, pulling her into my arms and then cupping her face, kissing her softly at first, but the time spent away from her had made me a little mad for her touch. I tightened my hands in her hair and kissed her harder, sliding my tongue against hers and nipping at her bottom lip.
"Gavin...." she moaned against my mouth and wrapped her arms around my neck, pressing all those sexy curves up hard against me.
"Come home with me." It sounded like an order, but I was begging, needing to feel her bare against me again.
"We haven't even gone on one date yet.....what kind of girl do you think I am?" She grinned and I laughed, the spark in her eyes turning me on even more.
"Fine. We'll get lunch first. Then you can prove to me just what kind of girl you are." I nipped at her ear and she shivered against me.
"I missed you." She whispered, softly, almost as if she didn't want to admit it.
"Who wouldn't?" I retorted, unable to help myself. Mia hit me.
"As.shole." I grinned wider.
"Bit.ch." I replied, grabbing her hand and walking out. "Where do you want to eat?" She shrugged.
"Where are there no photographers?" She turned to me, though I could see in her eyes she wasn't really scared of that anymore. I laughed.
"In L.A.? No where?" I squeezed her hand and pulled her closer to move my hand around her waist, slowly creeping towards that fantastic as.s. Mia glared at me.
"Gavin!" I gave her an innocent look.
"Hurry before those idiots we pay to make us look good realize we're gone."
Our fingers intertwined as we walked away from the building, “Do you have your car?”
“Yeah, and I brought my agent here… so let’s ditch them.” I winked at her, pulling her towards the parking lot, and immediately we were bombarded by paparazzi. Had one of those idiots called them here?! Seriously? Mia just sighed.
“So much for avoiding them.”
“Are you okay?”
“Yes. I never cared about what they thought before, why should I now?” then she leaned over and kissed me as the photos flashed. Looks like we were outed for good now. I grinned like a moron once we got to my car and I helped her in before getting in myself and then cracking the window to speak to the idiots crowding us.
“If you don’t get out of the way, I will run you over.” I said before closing the window.
“How about we go to your house and order take out?” Mia suggested.
"That sounds perfect, but you know they’re going to be all on the lawn.”
“I don’t care. It’s not like we’re going to be screwing on the front door step.”
“Is that something you were thinking about?” I raised a brow and grinned back at her.
“Not with paparazzi there. I was thinking about starting inside.” she said with a mischevious grin on her gorgeous face.
“We are just now getting back together and that’s the first thing you think about?” I smirked at her even though I'd been thinking about it too and we both knew it.
“You know that’s all I want you for; the amazing, mind-blowing sex.” she smirked, and let out a small laugh.
"That's right." I grinned and turned to look at her. "God you're beautiful."
"Are you just noticing this? You've known me since you were a teenager." She rolled her eyes.
"I knew you were hot, and had a mouth on you. I knew you were passionate and talented. But yeah, I think I might have missed out on the beauty."
"Damn that sounds like it could have come straight out of your movies." She smirked, but she was blushing so I knew she was affected at least a little.
"I'm glad you're giving us a chance beautiful girl." I grinned and she reached out and squeezed my hand.
"Me too."
