Restoring the faith

Live or let die.

I woke up with a pressure on my chest, I began coughing and trying to move but I was pinned to the couch.

I opened my eyes to find Zak laying on top of me with his head on my boobs looking quiet pleased with himself as he watched the TV.

He had pushed up my top and had his fingers stroking around the curve of my hip.

Okay this is nice as all but he's busting my ribs.

"Zak. You weigh a ton!" I struggled pushing him up.

"No please.. Please let me stay here?" He asked.

I looked at his eyes and well, the hazel storms won me over. He had showered from his fluffy hair and smell of shower gel.

"You've showered." I spoke.

"I smelt awful.. I felt awful. I feel awful for leaving you last night."

"Well I had no intentions going to a strip club that's for sure." I answered.

"No but we could have had dinner.. Tried to patch things up. But I've ruined it now, by bringing that girl back here.. I didn't want to sleep with her. I was going to make us coffee. Try and let her down gently but she lunged as you opened the door."

"Yeah.. Right." I shook my head.

"You don't believe me."

"It's none of my business what you do.. We're friends. Remember?" I asked.

"But you want more.."

"I do. But I'm not going into this with only my heart on the line. I don't want to be hurt by you or anyone. It's a miracle we are still friends now." I answered him.

"I know.. You don't think I'm grateful for that?"

"Are you?"

"Of course.. Brit, I'd be lost without you now. I've just been messed around by women so much I don't want to put my heart out. What's a harmless shag here and there. It's nothing. But you are worth so much more than a fuck and chuck. You know that.. I don't want the friends with benefits with you. It's.. It's insulting." He answered.

There goes my next suggestion.. That was a joke.

"Then you either let me go or start trusting me because I don't know how much longer I can bare being dangled on the thread and on your every word." I answered pushing him up and off me.

I needed a shower and I needed to get my head in the game to work.

I finally tracked Aaron down who was foraging for nuts like a squirrel in an organic store. I almost threw him in the RV but the stupid face he wore I couldn't help but smile and fake a slap on his backside. He let out a laugh running up the steps.

"Right boys. Let's get back to the nightclub!" Bacon called starting up the RV. I sat up co pilot with him as he drove in San Francisco.

I pulled out my phone wondering if Ben was free. Maybe we could meet up for coffee..

I sent him a text only to receive a phone call.

'Hey'

'Hey you. What's happening?' Ben asked.

'Well we're filming and I thought perhaps after filming you could come and get me? We can go out for a spot of dinner or something?' I asked.

"BRITTANY IS HOOKING UP!" Bacon shouted making me swat his arm.

Ben laughed down the phone 'Sure thing. I'm in San Jose, it's just over an hours drive.'

'Oh..'
