Arthur is a normal chap trying to make rent by holding down a job at the local floral shop. Great. 
To make matters worse, he works across from the busy Cafe. 
How does that make the situation worse you ask? Well, my friend, Arthur asked for a position at that cafe and was turned down for a younger, American boy who was apparently "not a stick in the mud", as the boss had blatantly stated. 
That's not so bad, you say? Well, let me spell it out for you. Arthur doesn't WANT to be in America he HAS to be in America. He had transferred that semester for a better education in pediatrics (more about that will come in the story). 
So? You ask again. You're one tough nut to crack, aren't ya? So Arthur basically has no friends, works in a shitty floral shop and gets shitty pay as opposed to the busy cafe workers' income and he has to pay rent for his shitty apartment AND even after all that he has barely enough money for personal needs such as toilet paper or food. 
This is the life of a broke.

"Is it still a no?" He asked, his voice was deep yet soft at the same time. "Hard and cold." "Oh, come on, Lou! Live a little. I can be your tour guide and show you around town. It'll be fun!" "And why not after school or in the weekend?" "Because there's no thrill to it. Please, Louisa." He asked again. I sighed. "What's in it for me, Liam?" He chuckled. "You get to spend time with me! Liam Gilbert, your tour guide, the guy you come to when you don't want to study!" "Let's make a deal," I smirked, "if I ditch with you then you have to study with me." He looked unsure and I knew he didn't want to. I shrugged. "Okay, I'll see you at home." He moaned. "Fine, but you have to ditch me right now." My face lit up like a Christmas tree and I was truly surprised. "Okay, let's go." * There are a few rules when it comes to ditching class. Rule number one: Don't tell anyone. The teachers, your siblings, your parents. Rule number two: If anybody asks where you were, always say you were sick and rule number three is to have fun. Louisa Shepard didn't know what she was getting into when she agreed to ditch school with Liam Gilbert, her host brother. She had the perfect attendance record, she studied in her spare time and she never missed a class a day in her life. Until she went to America in exchange and met Liam, the guy she could not get away from. Liam did not care about school. He ditched most days, slept in, never studied for anything and his attendance record wasn't exactly great. When Liam finds out that Louisa, the British good girl, was the perfect student, he wanted to have some fun. But, there comes a price. If Liam wanted Louisa to ditch school then he would have to study with her. Louisa had no idea what she was in for when ditching with Liam and some days, it goes further than just ditching class. Louisa and Liam are just going to have to go the distance if they want to keep up with each other. All Rights Reserved 2017 © Sarahxox_16
No strings attached  by _Dazed_z

There was a few important rules to follow in the line of work he did. Rule 1- Go there and do your job. Rule 2- Don't waste time. You're on a schedule so don't go a minute under and definitely don't go a minute over. Rule 3- While performing your job, don't call the person by first name. Keep it professional. Rule 4-Don't initiate a kiss or any other act of intimacy. and lastly, there was rule five. Don't get attatched. Simple enough. That rule was put in place so the worker's don't get heartbroken, but what happens when a less than normal client makes an offer that a worker simply can't deny? . . . . No strings attached? That phrase sounded like some type of test drive, or cheap return policy many stores had if an item wasn't to your liking. To be asked if he wanted to enter a relationship like that was a bit unprofessional, but the money he could earn was anything but. With a confused gleam in his eyes, he questioned further. "What do you mean by that?" "I want you to enter a no strings attached relationship with me. I figure this is your only line of work, so I'll still pay you for every encounter we have, but think of it more as a date- "So you want to be fuck buddies?" The elder man chuckled deeply. This guy was too blunt, but admittedly he liked that. "Yes, but it's going to be a little different. I want you to quit your job and only see me. I want to be the only one using you." "I make a lot of money at my job. I can't just quit- "How much do you make?" "Huh?" "How much money do you earn?" "...it depends, but usually it averages out to about three thousand flat." "I'll pay you that every time I call upon you, or however much you see fit. I'll even give you a weekly allowance. So what do you say? Wanna be fuck buddies?" A searing blush made it's way up the worker's face, but despite his embarrassment, he nodded. That one simple gesture sealed his fate. Book 1 of 2 Book 2 "Terms and conditions" is now out and ongoing.
