"Your actions speak so loud,
I cannot hear what you are saying."

"Were you reaching for my lap and then pulled away?" I giggled noticing the gesture in the corner of my eye and should have maybe not commented on it but it was out before I could stop it.

"No." He snapped and I lazily looked at him and saw him licking over his bottom lip to fight a smile. "Well yeah but while you do look beautiful, your outfit basically blocks my hand.."

I rolled my eyes and took his free hand and held it within my hands in my lap which I shouldn't have done. He wasn't suppose to be putting hands in my lap that's what fuck buddies did but I was always gullible and his hand tightening in mine felt nice.

Urgh what the heck I might have been friendzoned but I could just pretend this was a date right? Its not like he would know...

"I have a feeling you tried to do this with the Wyatt's too. I can see many sexual harassment claims heading to Bryan's office.." I rambled focusing on his hand as I traced over his rings.

He chuckled, "They'd be so lucky. You know I can give you some cause you're always so intrigued by them"

I felt his eyes on me as we hit a red light, "this is the first time I've actually taken note of them actually"

"Of course it is" He rolled his eyes with annoyance which led to me frowning but before I could question it I heard his phone going off in the holder and saw it was Corey.

I pressed it while he seemed to have wanted to stop me as Corey's voice filled the car.

I was about to greet but then Baron held up his hand causing me to frown before he slowly began driving again.

"Hey what's up?" He questioned while I focused on his rings instead.

"Just wanted to know if you were catching that gig in town tonight?"

"Er yeah.."

"And I didn't get a call. I know you got free tickets thanks to Mary"

Mary?

Mary as in..

"Yeah I er..."

"You're fucking taking a girl instead of me. Has it been that long since.. Fuck is she in the car?" His voice lowered, smart Corey. I almost laughed at him until I realized I was the girl.

"Nah" My eyes shot to his while his was on the road.

"Then cancel on her. I doubt she would want to go to a place your ex might possibly be, I'm off tonight. Figured we'd hit the town we can get you someone at the end of the night for you if you're finally looking to get laid after so long and maybe get a tattoo "

I didn't say anything as Baron sighed.

"Not tonight man. Look I'll call your ass up tomorrow."

"Dick. But yeah" he chuckled and we were back to silence as I stopped tracing over his fingers and stared out instead.

I let his hand go and covered it up by pretending to look for something in my bag before simply folding my arms.

Maybe I should have ignored it but I couldn't deny gone was my high on being called beautiful.

"Renee." I heard him and while I wanted to ignore him. I was his fucking friend.

"Yeah buddy?" I smiled gazing over at him.

"Don't be fake with me"

"I have no idea what you're.." I felt the car screech as it came to a halt.

"Are you crazy?"

"All I fucking want is for you to be straight with me. Not fucking put on a fake fucking smile if you're mad" He snapped hitting onto the dashboard with the hand I had been holding before driving due to hooting behind us.

"Seriously? Stop being dramatic" I rolled my eyes at his outburst but it only seemed to make him angrier as his grip on the steering wheel tightened.

"I don't see a point in spoiling your night over something stupid" I added.

"Our night." He corrected me I guess.

"Okay then, why didn't you tell Corey I was with you and why is Corey oblivious when you said he had work."

He didn't answer for a bit before easing back into his seat. "Something else?"

I glanced ahead, "I don't feel like being used to make your ex-girlfriend jealous. Is that why you didn't tell Corey I was with you, why you took me instead of him cause your ex's band is going to be there?"

Friends didn't like being used, right?

"Its not her band. And she didn't fucking get me the tickets. I bought them and she won't be there, I love how you always think the worst of me honey. I asked you because I didn't feel like Corey forcing me to hit on women all night because he doesn't know I have been fucking you for two months. That's also why I didn't fucking tell him you were with me cause he would be confused."

Like I currently am.

"Okay" I mumbled realizing he had a point about not telling Corey about our arrangement and the car stopped but I frowned as I was expecting a bar or club.

He sighed, "The concert is only in an hour. Figured we could catch some dinner with a friend of mine"

I nodded and stepped out as we walked into the cafe and sat in a corner.

"Sit next to me, I don't need my friend so close" he rolled his eyes and I giggled thinking about him attempting to spoon with the Wyatt's, despite it not being true it was an amusing visual.

"What's so funny honey?" He smirked and I realized he was holding out my chair for me.

I sat down and he did as well, placing his boot covered feet onto the chair opposite him so I guess his friend didn't have a date.

"Nothing" I shrugged and of course the waitress would be a brunette.

I briefly glanced at Baron as he ordered but he stared blankly at her before nudging me and I realized his arm was over my chair. "What do you want?"

"Uhm.." I glanced over the menu and picked a pasta, deciding to indulge.

"I pictured you more of a Jack Daniels guy" I smirked as she brought over a bottle of wine.

"Well it goes better with the steak"

I nodded as my eyes scanned the dimly lit cafe taking in the beautiful lights hung around.

"I wouldn't do that you know?" I felt his voice vibrate against my cheek before he gave a nod of thanks to the waitress as she quickly arrived with our food.

"What?"

"Use you to make someone jealous. If I wanted an ex I would be with her. I don't go back to people, there's a reason things don't work out"

I frowned at his words because wasn't that our fuck arrangement? But I guess that's why we were friends now.

"I can understand that" I smiled slightly trying not to think about my own past and eating the food gave me a reason to remain quiet.

I frowned realizing we were midway through dinner and no friend.

"Where's your friend?" I questioned after our plates were taken away.

"I guess running late" he shrugged.

"So be honest."

"About?"

"Why do you jump roommates so much and I'm pretty sure its not your spooning tendencies"

He chuckled, " I end up sharing a room with two guys. They're into hanging out I'm not. I get annoyed when they push me and say shit. Unfortunately they just don't know how to handle my moods or put up with it"

"You don't know what you had till its gone huh?" I mused.

"Nope" he smiled and I sipped a huge gulp of my wine before turning to him, realizing he was closer than I expected with his head leaning lazily on his arm staring at me.

"Baron"

"Renee?" He mumbled into his arm.

"Is this a d..."

"Tommy, my man!" I heard a male voice and realized it was his friend while he stared at me for a bit, waiting for me to finish but I definitely wasn't planning to which led to him sighing before standing up.

Well that would have been awkward.

Is this a date?

Really?

"Hey man, this is little wolf Renee"

I quickly stood up and felt his arm around my waist, pulling me to his side.

"What an introduction" I giggled frowning a bit as I figured that was a name that would stay between us.

"Aaah little wolf" his friend chuckled as we sat down. "Here I thought there was a drought in your life!"

"Well actually..." I began only to be interrupted by Baron.

"Nah it was too long, had to do something."

I kept back my scoff, what was this? Hire a girlfriend to impress your friends or let word get back to an ex.

Oh wait I wouldn't use you Renee, like as if I...

I felt the familiar touch on the side of my thigh where there happened to be a slit as his friend mentioned the bands that would be performing and I was reasonably silent because I certainly didn't know them and felt the hand grip my inner thigh. I realized his arm over the chair had moved and was working its way up my thigh while the other was used to casually sip the wine as he spoke.

I gasped as his fingers pressed against the white lace covering me, drawing attention.

"Yeah they have some dark names" his friend chuckled and I realized he thought my surprise was due to that before continuing while Baron simply smirked.

His fingers slowly rubbed over me and I attempted discretely moving his hand but he ended up rubbing up faster against me as punishment so I simply sat there almost biting my fist as the man I liked was so close to fingering me in a restaurant.

"Sorry, manager calling" he excused himself.

"Bar..."

"You know this lighting was annoying while eating my food but I think I like it now.." He leaned in and slowly kissed my collar bone as my underwear was pushed to the side and he pushed a finger into me causing me to clutch his arm.

He removed my hand clutching his arm with his free hand and I felt him move it up his jeans covered thigh as he slipped a second finger into me. My eyes scanned the room and saw his friend across it still talking as he placed my hand in his lap. "Come on, honey show me you're still bad."

He pressed my hand into his lap and I moaned as I felt the growing tent, making him smirk.

So much for just being friends.

My palm tightened around him slightly due to his fingers picking up speed slightly and he groaned into my shoulder.

"I want you to bite me, little wolf" he breath into my neck slowly sucking on my skin and I wanted to close my eyes but I needed to focus on his friend since Baron didn't seem to care.

"I want to feel those fingers wrapped around me as you bite me honey.."

My eyes briefly fell to his neck, seeing the fading marks and immediately removed my hand from his lap, causing his eyes to move to mine.

"Renee.." He breath and I pushed his hand away just as his friend approached.

I saw his jaw clenching as he took a napkin and wiped his hand, tossing it on the floor.

Why was he mad when he blatantly just tried to rub it in my face that he had allowed someone else to bite him.

"We have about half hour before we have to head out how about we order a bottle of Jack."

"Why not?" He shrugged as his friend called over the brunette.

"I'm sorry. I said I wouldn't touch you, Blondie." He stared at me waiting for my response while she expectantly looked at him and my eyes diverted to her causing him to realize.

"Bottle of Jack" he nodded before turning to me again.

"I didn't say that's what I wanted." I blurted out and he frowned as she returned with three glasses and his friend took the initiative to pour but he covered my glass.

"None for her."

"Excuse me?" I snapped because I definitely needed it now more than ever.

His friend seemed amused while I found myself glaring at me.

"I would like you to remember our night together." He said slightly annoyed before pouring himself, while I would have preferred being tipsy listening to his music.

◆◆◆

So safe to say that put a damper on my dinner so I simply smiled as his friend spoke and scowled whenever he did so he could appreciate my annoyance. He didn't seem to care though as the bottle of Jack remained on the further part of the table. He had sent me a cocky 'bite me' when I muttered he was a dick.

And now we were in the rowdy club, the only place I had agreed to coming to, for the gig.

"You know if you are secretly gay and want to make him jealous, that's okay." I snapped as we stood back hearing the first song play and he searched my eyes.

"Should I show you how gay I am?" He threatened and I bit my lip not to giggle when I wanted to be mad at him.

"I meant as in.."

"Its okay I know you meant fuck me" I shrugged as the surprisingly slow song played even with the rock sound.

"We both know my kissing affects you more" He whispered as the room dimmed.

I sighed, "Maybe because its forbidden with you"

He chuckled and clasped my hand. "I'm trying to change that. Let's move to the front"

I giggled as we stood in the front row with Baron behind me in the packed club. All I knew was to hop along to most of the songs and Baron made sure that was done in front of him so that my body didn't rub against anyone else.

Men and their possessive tendencies...

◆◆◆

"Thank you" I smiled as we got off the elevator.

"See, my music ain't that bad"

"Yeah well I wouldn't let you fill up our car with it. I mean.." I shook my head.

"You driving with anyone?"

"No, I was supposed to drive with Trin and Jon but.."

"I'll pick you up tomorrow" He turned and I gripped his arm.

"We're not supposed to fuck anymore remember?" He smirked as he pulled me against him and I rolled my eyes despite loving how close we were as I stared up at him.

"Don't flatter yourself, Baron. I was thinking more of a spoon" I pushed out of his arms.

"That's how it starts." He leaned against the wall.

"Yeah I guess... " I sighed deciding not to bring up anything that happened at dinner, opened my door and felt him move in behind me.

"You don't have to stay."

"Yeah" He responded as he sat on the bed and took off his shoes.

I unzipped my skirt and stepped out of it before slipping off my top and he handed me his t-shirt. Well more like I had to walk over to him to get it and slipped it over to find him hovering over me.

"Who gave you that hickey?" I blurted out as I felt he was about to kiss me.

"Wouldn't you like to know" He wrapped his arms around me as he stared down at me.

"So someone did give it to you?" I smiled even though I was anything but happy inside.

"I didn't say that." He narrowed his eyes playfully making me upset and he knew it.

"Whatever. Fucking brunettes one night and spooning with me the next. No problem, what are friends fucking for" I shrugged and pushed past him, getting into bed.

"You need to stop being dramatic Blondie" he mused and I glared back at him before burying my face in my pillow.

I felt him move in behind me and his arm wrap around me, pulling me against him, "Night buddy"

Are you kidding me?

I grumbled "Night. Buddy."
