"Calling me cute is nice.
Calling me hot is great.
But calling me yours is all I want."

◆◆◆

"Look at me." He demanded and I smiled as I did feeling my back move against the wall.

I didn't think it could be comfortable but I was too focused on his rough movements and shut my eyes again hearing him chuckle a bit.

It was one of those nights, not those nights where he was pissed but one of those nights where we had a stupid argument about him not cleaning up the room while I had a long day with several meetings.

I complained while he rolled his eyes and turned the TV louder to drown them out as I tidied up the room before I eventually just snatched it from him and threw it against the wall before getting back to cleaning.

Safe to say he got mad, called me an annoying stuck up blonde who couldn't just let things be while I ignored him feeling too tired. Until he pushed me up against the wall which made my breath hitch saying how I always provoked him when he didn't feel like fucking me into oblivion but before I could respond had me up against the wall and here we were.

"You could have just told me if you wanted my attention, Blondie" He grunted into my ear.

"Who says I do?"

He frowned and moved back but I immediately pulled him back not wanting him to stop.

"No Baron!" I groaned opening my eyes and of course beside me was Baron staring at me confused while sitting next to me.

I sighed and placed the pillow over my head to block the sight of the man who was not only now my friend but somehow managed to fill my sleeping mind as well, "why are you here?"

Since Tuesday night I had more encounters than I expected to have with Baron since my whole I feel stuck with you, leave me alone fiasco due to the fact that I was now his friend.

Which according to Baron meant basically slipping back into our old routine. Now I wasn't referring to our steamy moments, safe to say that was behind us while I didn't see the point that it was. I figured why not just do it all again but I didn't want to voice it because one, I could be rejected considering in the few days we had moments together he hadn't attempted anything so maybe whoever left their mark on him had him stuck on them.

"You weren't in the gym this morning." He simply said, surprisingly not questioning me calling out his name but I guess he was used to it.

"And you came to check on me. Wow" I smiled, resting my head on the pillow revealing my sleepy face as I stared up at him and he smirked.

"Why do you always smile like that?"

"Like what?" I frowned briefly before simply closing my eyes for a bit.

"Like you just did. Even when you're mad like when we had that fight at the club you smiled because I drove all the way there for you."

Who knew Baron had a good memory...

I sighed opening my eyes seeing him waiting patiently and there was no point in thinking of some pathetic excuse, "Because when I saw you there I thought you came with Andrea because she was behind you."

"Who?"

"Never mind. What do you expect Corbin, you're more hot than cold have to cherish your sweet moments" I groaned as I stretched out, sitting back on my ankles.

He chuckled but it was the one mixed with annoyance, "you forget most of them though."

I frowned, "what do you mean?"

He shook his head dismissing it, "I came to invite you to a gig tonight. I don't feel like driving out alone."

"Most of your music gives me a headache. Why don't you ask Corey?" I leaned over him to get my phone but he pulled me onto him causing me to sit on his lap luckily not straddling him. But of course it still made my heart skip a beat and all that mushy stuff that came courtesy of liking a wolf.

"Corey's busy."

"Too busy for you? Is there trouble in bromance land?" I mused and he licked his bottom lip.

"Nah, its the only romance that doesn't give me a headache in my life" he smirked.

I narrowed my eyes on him, "Oh we had a romance now. Here I thought it was just friends with benefits or wait, fuck buddies."

"Who said I was talking about us?"

"I..."

"OUCH!" I heard a voice outside before a knock.

"Why is Cena knocking on your door?" I heard Baron's low voice and turned to him because I hadn't even recognized the voice.

And the way he was looking at me was like he was accusing me of something.

"He's my new travel buddy" I shrugged.

"So Cena is my replacement?" His jaw clenched as it always did at the thought of sharing what was his, if only I were though.

"Yeah you're actually sitting on his spot right now"

He immediately glared at me and I rolled my eyes, "I'm kidding."

"Whoever told you, you were funny was lying to you Blondie" he mused even though I could sense he was still tense.

Why?

"So you're the liar?" I raised my eyebrow.

He chuckled but then let out a soft groan as he ran his hand over his face before setting it on my lap, "I'm travelling alone again. I was stuck with the Wyatt's for a bit, even they got sick of me."

"What is it that you do to these men that make them complain about you?" I narrowed my eyes leaning into his face.

He sighed before smiling "Try to spoon them"

I laughed out gripping his shoulder to prevent me from falling back, making him laugh as well, "and they refused? How dare they, I must say there is nothing like the tattooed arms of a wolf around you."

I stated dramatically and felt his arm tighten around me causing my phone to fall to the bed.

"I know, that's what I tried telling them. Told them my little wolf liked it but they didn't. Guess I'm only meant to spoon one person" He breath and I was about to respond when I heard John and hadn't realized he was still outside.

"Renee?"

"Tell him to fuck off." He stated with annoyance and I felt his other arm resting over my thighs where his fingers were tracing. "Oh wait that's rude, tell him to leave you alone cause you're with me"

"With you?"

"Yeah or am I not sitting here?" He frowned with his happiness having vanished.

I heard my phone vibrate and saw it was John and Baron sighed letting his hands move off me as he folded them but not pushing me off his lap. I decided to put John on loudspeaker feeling the need for Baron to know there was nothing there.

"Hey John. " I decided to avoid eye contact with the wolf who seemed to be burning a hole in my head.

"Hey, you in your room?"

"Yeah sorry I was in the shower."

"Oh well I figured I would give you a ride since we have that meeting with Bryan in a hour."

"Shit I forgot. "

"I'll take you." I felt a vibration in my neck and realized I was leaning against Baron.

"What was that?" I heard John.

"Are you still here?" I questioned and yelped as I felt Baron bite my neck harshly.

"Yeah I'm having breakfast in the restaurant. I'll wait here for you."

"Okay I'll be there in 20" I hung up and before I could express my annoyance with being marked he was ready for me.

"So what? I'm not good enough to drive you."

"You aren't even making sense. I don't want to be in the middle of whatever problems you have with these guys and was it necessary to bite me" I pushed against his chest and he gripped my hand pulling me closely to him.

"Take it as payback.."

"For.."

"Yo NeyNey so..." I jumped off Baron's lap and sat beside him as I heard Jimmy who entered followed by Trinity.

Of course, get a key card so you can pack my luggage while I'm in a meeting.

"What up man" Jimmy extended his hand and Baron took it as he stood up after throwing the covers over me and I realized I was only wearing my tank top with my underwear. I had modelled lingerie with Jimmy around but I wasn't going to point that out.

"Baron was..." I began not even sure what to say when I wasn't even sure how he got into my room. Security was clearly terrible...

"Leaving. I'll pick you up at 6"

He didn't bother looking at me as he left while I was surprised he hadn't just uninvited me.

As the door closed I was faced with a grinning Trin and Jimmy.

"Why are you two looking like that?" I rolled my eyes.

"I thought y'all were done being roomies?"

"We are." I shrugged.

"But y'all still cozy?" He wiggled his eyebrows as I stood up searching my suitcase for an outfit.

"We were never cozy. I need to get done, I guess I don't need help with my luggage. You guys will be on the road by then."

"While you're off having a date with wolf. 'I'll pick you up at 6 and you better be ready!' "

I laughed, "he didn't say that"

"So it is a date then?" Jimmy chuckled.

"What? No! We're checking out some band. No wolf for Ney Ney remember? Well you were wasted so I doubt.."

"Seems like Ney Ney be getting that wolf"

"Trin! I'm going to shower!" I shook my head.

It had only been a few days since he announced our friendship, date after being friend zoned? I think not!

●●●

I stepped off the elevator and saw Baron leaning against the wall, "I'm so fucking sorry. I had another meeting with my Regular Girls producer and then there was traffic. I know its after 6 so you can head out I'm sure you're too annoyed with my company right now."

He didn't say anything as he stared at me for a bit before pushing himself off the wall.

"Its only 6:20. You have ten minutes, Blondie."

"But... " I stopped as I saw his jaw clenching.

"If you don't want to go out with me then.."

"I'll be done in ten. Don't get your panties in a bunch?" I pushed open the door relieved to see the black bag with the outfit that I asked Trin to have steamed for me.

"Panties?" He chuckled, I would say he was bipolar but his mood swings were something I had become accustomed to and didn't mind dealing with. What were friends for?

I stripped off my clothes before heading into the bathroom for a two minute shower.

"Yeah figured since you have my lingerie and stolen panties. You have to be using them" I screamed out before getting in and saw the shadow through the screen doors but saw no point in telling him to get out.

He had seen me in all my glory...

I opened it and he handed me a towel not bothering to look at me.

Boy was he trying to prove he didn't want to fuck me any longer.

I rolled my eyes and slipped on my underwear before zipping open the bag as he entered the room taking a seat beside the bag as his eyes trailed my underwear.

"White lace. That's new."

"Yeah John prefers it" I smirked and saw him roll his eyes before placing his hands behind his head while lying back as he stared at me.

"I told you John can't satisfy you." He said confidently, catching on to the fact that there was no truth to my statement.

"Maybe I have had to test the waters since the last time I was satisfied I can't even remember"

"Guess its good I packed Advil" he groaned.
"You need to make up your mind, you say you're not mad but then you fucking hint to that night when you know how fucking sorry I am!"

"I was messing with you Baron. I'm sorry" I mumbled.

"Whatever."

I would have asked if he still wanted me to tag along but with the mood he was in because of my mouth I would just slip on my heels and hope for the best.

He looked so hot in his tight jeans and a simple Black Craft tee when I had gotten off the elevator. So different from him with his expensive suits...

I sighed as he sat with his elbows on his knees, slowly tracing over his own hands. I moved next to him and rubbed his arm before resting my head on his shoulder.

"I'm sorry Baron. I'm really not mad anymore" I whispered into his neck before sitting back to see his face.

He smiled and I hoped that was a good sign as I returned it. He briefly kissed my cheek before standing up, "I expected jeans and a tee.."

I stared down at my outfit realizing I might have overdressed,"Oh well I have been looking for an excuse to wear this but I can change and..."

"Nah, you look beautiful" he sighed and walked on.

Beautiful?

I shook my head and grabbed my bag before following the wolf, trying to ignore my inner self fainting at the wolf calling me beautiful.
