It's a Sunday in my empty mansion as always.
Normally I don't get up until after 12 because I'm usually getting over a hangover or I'm at someone's house from a party  sneaking out to get home before a girl wakes up. No i don't sleep with a different girl every week, it's normally just one, sometimes a different at least twice a month if counting.

But since I haven't been to a party in three weeks, so no hang overs or sleeping around with a girl.

I text Sasha to tell him if he can help me find a car for Payson and he text me back yes.

I want to get her a newer year  of a car so it last.

I grab my lap top and start looking and find some options for her to get and wrote them down while siping on my coffee in my back yard.
After about an hour I finish up and put my lap top away in the kitchen and put my list on the counter so me and Sasha in between meetings can go over to the car dealers and test out some cars for Payson, I remember her dream car is a Jeep Wrangler so I'm hoping to check out newer makes for those.

I put my coffee cup in the sink and go to my room and get workout clothes on and head into my down stairs gym.
I turn my headphones up and hit the weights, abs, and a bit of cardio for a 45 minute workout with a 5 minute cool down.

I hear my phone checking it to see who messaged me.
It's Ashley.
Ashley: why haven't you been to any parties for the past three weeks? I miss you
Damon: been busy
Ashley: are you coming next week?
Damon: no I'm not coming
Ashley: well why not? You usually come.
Damon: I just said I'm busy that's all there is to it

Ashley is clingy, she's great when I want to but other than that she's annoying,clingy and needy at times.
Now the only reason I picked her is because she is good looking with her dark black long hair and tattoos on her skinny body with plump lips and blue eyes, nose ring and belly ring.
We're basically friends with benefits but she's been trying to be more for about a year now but I'm not interested, my rep I don't date.
Well until now that is fake dating Payson soon but before I just messed around.
I finished my cool down and go and take a cold shower. Get dressed in skinny jeans, dark gray shirt with white hoodie and gray vans.
I go to the kitchen and make eggs with an avocado.
Yes I can somewhat cook for myself, my chief is off on Sunday's, my whole staff is, I made that a priority to have my staff off at least one day a week for there family's.

I eat my food while looking at my phone on social media to see Payson's page a few more follower than before. Then I just scroll through to see what else is up.

After I'm done eating I wash the dishes and dry them, then put away.

I decide to call Payson to see what she's up to.
Payson: "yes Damon?"
"I wanted to see what you were up to?"
Payson: "I'm with Taylor right now just talking and hanging out"
"Oh well I was going to see if you wanted to do something this afternoon?"
Payson: "um today I can't sorry but I'll see you tomorrow"
"Yeah, we'll have fun tell Taylor I said hi"
Taylor: "hi Damon!"
"Hey Taylor I don't think we officially met"
Taylor: "No we haven't but I'm such a huge fan of you"
"Ha thanks Taylor well I'll let you two girls hang out"
Payson: "bye Damon"
"Bye Payson"
I hang up and sigh, I guess I can call Carter my best friend since we started singing together then decided to go our own ways but still kept the friendship.
"Yes Damon?"
"I need inspiration for a song"
"In a funk again?"
"Yeah"
"Heading over there, oh do I get to meet Payson there?"
"No she's with a friend today"
"Better show me a picture of who your fake dating"
"I will just get your butt over here"
"Harsh"
He hangs up and I turn on the t.v. Until he gets here.

"Damon" Carter calls.
"Living room"
He walks in, in a pair of jeans with a black shirt and jean jacket.
He has tattoos also but not as much as I do, has a lip ring and blonde hair with brown eyes, tall and very fit like me.
"Now I want to see Payson"
I grab my phone and go to her social media page and give the phone to Carter.

He looks through them for a while.
"She's gorgeous"
"She's alright"
"Alright? She's not fake, she has natural hair and body type, she has really pretty hazel eyes and her smile though lights a room up"
"Ok she's beautiful we get it"
"Better than the girls you sleep with"
"Hey"
"I'm serious Damon she's real, Sasha picked a good one"
"You don't even know her"
"I can see she ain't fake"
I sigh and say "now help me with a song"
"First food" he goes to my fridge in the kitchen and grabs watermelon that's in a tin.
He opens it up and eats it.
"Ok so ideas what about the thrill of being in a relationship"
"So like the honeymoon phase but in dating?"
I asked.
"Yeah"
"How the heck did you come up with that so fast?"
"I see how you are, Damon you haven't even snuck into a party"
"That's because I have to be low key"
"True, but still everyone gets the thrill of that phase even you with your sucking girlfriends then now with the friends with benefits" he air quoted.
I don't respond but look at the watermelon Carter has.
Watermelon is sweet but not like chocolate which has sugar but fruit has sugar but good sugar.
"Sweet like fruit but better sugars"
"What now?" Carter looked confused.
"Come on let's go"
I walk upstairs into the at hone studio and go to the couch with my notebook and start writing lyrics.
    "I wanna taste it, wanna taste the sugar high" I said while I wrote it down.
"Now we're getting somewhere" Carter said.
"I don't want the feelin to stop, it's so sweet and addicting that it's gotten me on a sugar high"
Carter nodded and we kept going finally writing a song that sounded good.
"Thanks man you helped a lot" I told Carter.
"Don't think in it too much literally you got this from looking at watermelon"
I laughed at him a bit.
"I'm serious Damon you know what to do, but you need to open your heart and mind up a bit more"
"Thanks man"
"No problem, I gotta go I'll see you soon"
"Bye Carter"
He walked down stairs and went out the door.
I put my stuff away and headed down stairs to see that it was 7:00.
I made myself leftovers from the chief yesterday and heated it up.
I ate it while watching some Netflix.
I herd the door bell and got up and went to the door and opened it.
Ashley!! What the heck? I looked at her she was wearing skinny jeans and a crop tank top and black heels. She looks so good but I can't.
"Damon you haven't talked to me or seen me"
"Ashley I told you"
"That your busy?"
"Yes"
"I don't believe you that's bull you would sneak a party or even us"
She's right I would, even if it was for a few hours.
Ashley she's a model for another clothing company so I found her at a party but didn't know who she was until I saw her at a fashion show I was performing at.
"I just can't Ashley I have to stay low"
"For what?"
I explain what Sasha said and Payson but I left out her name and what she does.
"Then sneak me Damon" she comes closer to me and touches my cheek.
I grab her hand and pull her in my house.
What's wrong with just this once before Payson comes to live with me, it won't hurt anything.
