Summary: After meeting Joe in a club in Vegas during his offseason and having a one night stand with him, the two of you come up with a no strings attached agreement. But, the hook ups start to become something more and eventually, someone starts to catch feelings that can't be ignored, especially after something happens that scares them into confessing.

Warning: characters meet at a club, alcohol consumption, smut, mentions of death, the use of the word slut and whore, somewhat detailed description of a car accident.

"Oh you're for sure coming with me tonight. I'm not taking no for an answer." My best friend Lily said as she walked around the hotel we were currently staying in for our weekend trip in Vegas. "You already drug me here, can't I miss out on one night? We got drunk last night." I said with a groan and collapsed on the couch, still feeling tired and somewhat hungover from the previous day. From across the room, Lily walked out of the bathroom shaking her head and then grabbed onto an apple from the fruit bowl on the table. "Don't you dare." I laughed and put my hands up in defense. With a laugh, Lily threw the apple right at me, making me roll quickly to the side so I didn't get hit by it. "It's Vegas. Getting drunk every night is a must. We have one more night to go. So, bitch, get your ass up and get into that gorgeous outfit I helped pick out for you. This ain't even vip shit, this is more of a low key type thing." She told me with a stern look on her face.

How did we manage to become 'very important people', you may ask? Well, because Lily just so happens to be a well known actress. Weird, right? We met in college our freshman year and we've been best friends ever since. So, for the six years we've been best friends, she has drug me all over the place with me as her plus one to almost every single event she goes to: Movie premiers, signings, red carpets, interviews, and everything else in between. I've seen so many celebrities over the past six years who all were at these same events and most of them know Lily by name. They walk up to her. They get to know each other for a few minutes. Share a few laughs over an alcoholic beverage. Lily makes a note in her phone of the new celebrity so she can brag about it to her family. And, occasionally, very much to my dismay, she drags me into their conversation because she says I deserve to feel famous too.

"I don't know how you live like this? Doesn't it get exhausting?" I asked her while standing up so I could get dressed. I already had makeup on from lunch so all I needed to do was touch it up and I would be ready to go, unlike Lily who brought her stylist with her so she always looked good in the public eye. It wasn't something she necessarily liked to do, but she was always worried about her public image, and I understood that. "Hell yeah, all the time. But then I remember all that green cash I'm receiving and it becomes less painful." She joked with me. One of the things I loved about Lily was that no matter how easy it would be for her to let the fame get to her head and change her, she has remained humble and grounded throughout her young but growing career.
