Barely Breathing

chapter 8

“What the fuck are you doing?” I spat at him.

“What? I’m just messing around” he said whilst laughing.

“Reece I think I have made it more then clear that I don’t want Marcus to find out about this,” she points to Reece and then herself “okay? Please just stop with all the little comments or he is going to figure it out!” I said angrily. Reece was started to become a friend and I really didn’t want to give up pretty much my only friend in Sydney.

“Okay I’m sorry, it was just so good! I wanna tell the boys so bad!… but I wont” he promised putting his hand to my waist, he was so cheesy it actually made me laugh.

“Well if you tell anyone I will be plucking your grapes, got it? I don’t want copious amounts of hate from your little boppers” I said.

He laughed at me “’lil rockers’ and I’m not telling anyone, don’t worry! But seriously we should make a kind of friends with benefits relationship out of this! You’re single, I’m single, we are both sexually satisfied, it’s perfect!” he said getting closer again and putting his arm on the wall beside my head.

To be honest it was tempting, I’m in my prime, I’m not looking for a relationship to drag me down but this way I could be sexually sane without increasing my number of boys. It sounded perfect but I was going to let him beg a bit more before I told him this.

“Reece that is crazy, you always talk about how you are ‘single and lonely’. You seem to be on the hunt for a girlfriend I will just get in the way!” I said pretty much bullshitting my way through this and hoping we would still happen.

“I just say that to get the fans going, I’m in my prime! I wanna live sweetheart! This is the best idea come on, your good at sex, I’m good at sex lets be good together!” A look of realization came over his face and I thought I might be in for some shit, “someone has been checking out some of my interviews I see!” he winked at me. That is the dumbest shit I have ever heard but he had a point.

“Well I was only looking to suss you out alright!” I said not exactly knowing how to answer the lingering question.

“Ah ha! I can see you thinking about it! You are tempted aren’t ya! You so are! As if you could resist this” he said in his high pitched voice as he came closer to me.

“Alright so maybe I am a little bit tempted, but so what? We do this friends with benefits thing, no feelings towards each other right? And if it doesn’t work then that’s the end of it! Ok?” I said seriously he looked more then shocked at me agreeing to this but yolo right?

“Yeah for sure! Just friends who like to fuck each other sounds like the perfect plan to me” he stepped back and held his hand out for me to shake and I offer him mine.

“Okay people are going to start assuming things if we don’t get our asses back in there stat!” I said pushing him through the door.

They were finished up rehearsals and I was pretty happy with Reece’s and mine new arrangement, it would be fun. We had all agreed to go out for dinner but we were going to go home and get ready first.

The rehearsal studio wasn’t far from our apartment and neither was the place we where going for dinner so we had a bit of time to chill before we had to so I got ready quicklyhttp://www.polyvore.com/cgi/set?id=53439475 and then sat on the couch and watched ‘How I Met Your Mother’ while waiting for Marcus to finish getting ready. Within about 10 minutes he was done so I sadly had to turn the TV off. My phone buzzed and it was a text from Reece.

Keen for tonight sweetheart? Xx ;)

I let out a little laugh and replied back before getting my bag and heading out the door.
