I'm in the living room watching Bones, the television series. I love this series, one of my favorites. Raina and I have popcorn filled with cheese and butter and sugar on our laps while Ava is hiding behind a pillow, she hates the show because of the dead bodies they work on, she says it scares and irritates her while Raina and I don't mind the decomposition.

"Is the scene over?" she asks peeking from the side of the pillow.

"Drop the pillow and check" I tell her, Raina and I laughing.

"But it's so gross" she whines.

"Then why are you watching it?" Raina asks. She always watches it with us even though she doesn't like it.

"Because I'm bored" she answers and we just laugh more. I think she secretly likes the show to be honest.

"Are you sure you don't secretly like it?" I voice my thought.

"Maybe..." she trails smiling.

"Knew it" Raina says.

"Can't we watch another movie?" Ava asks.

"No" I answer and poke my tongue at her. Just then a body again full of maggots pops up on the screen and she screams, hiding behind the pillow again causing Raina and I to laugh spilling our popcorn everywhere.

"Please" she pleads pouting.

"Ok, what you want to watch?" I take pity on her and ask still smiling.

"Thank you, we can watch 'Superstore'" she says and drags the remote from me and quickly plays the first season of 'Superstore', then proceeds to hide the remote from us.

"You've watched this show way more than the directors, producers and casts combined have" I tell her rolling my eyes. She loves this series way too much and if I am being sincere, so do I.

"I love the characters" she says. I just roll my eyes smiling at her again. The amount of times I have rolled my eyes at Ava, I am surprised my eye haven't rolled back permanently into my socket. We were watching the show when the door bell dinged. Suzie had gone to visit her family and the maids are currently not in the main house, so I stood up to get the door.

"Expecting anyone?" Ava asks. I shook my head.

"The security wouldn't have let anyone in if Ryan myself or didn't let them know that we were expecting guest. So, it probably for Ryan".

"Oh, a surprise visitor, I love surprises" Raina says excitedly.

She follows me out the room and we make our way to the door. The bell dings again just before I open the door. There was a girl by the door, she's pretty, a bit shorter than me though. She got a blue jean and black crop top on, sounds simple enough but looked like a lot on her athletic body, her brunette hair is pulled up to a perfect ponytail, the bangs in front framed her face perfectly. She has a cute smile on, the kind of smile that makes you want to smile. She is pretty.

"Hi" she greets all smiles.

"Hello?" I greet, wondering who she is and her relationship to Ryan.

"You are wondering who I am, aren't you?" she voices out my thought still smiling. I just nod.

"I'm Celine, here for Ryan" she says. 'Celine', why does that name sound familiar? I look her up and down, she's the girl who went on a date with Ryan last week, the girl we fought about. I refuse to think about what happened after the fight. Ryan and I haven't raised the topic with each other, the only thing that's changed is we are more cordial with each other, almost polite. Celine coughs, dragging me back to reality, probably noticed I had zoned off there.

"You the one who went on a date with Ryan, aren't you?" I ask.

"Okay so not the surprise I was expecting" Raina states. Me too, Raina, me too.

"Yes, It was so wonderful, did he tell you all about it. I think I like him already but I don't know if he's interested, he didn't seem all that interested, you know?" she rambles. My gosh can this girl talk or what. I see why Ryan wasn't interested. Wait, Ryan wasn't interested.

"You said Ryan wasn't interested, how do you know that?" I ask trying to sound uninterested. I hear Raina snicker beside me, she sees through me.

"Yes, he kept looking at his watch. When I asked why he was in a hurry, he said a girl was waiting for him at home and that he had to go to see her".

"He definitely wasn't interested" Raina states. She's right. Ryan is always checking his phone when he is not interested in a conversation or in whatever is going on. But then again, there was no one at home except Ava.... and I. Did Ryan rush home to see me?

"If you ask me, I think he was mostly interested in the girl at home than he was about me" she adds sadly. "I'm sorry for talking too much, who are you guys to Ryan again. His sisters?" she asks. I was about to answer when Ava walks up to the door.

"Who's this?" Ava asks.

"I am Celine" the girl answers. Ava immediately stiffen beside me. From the gate, one could see the scowl etched on her face. Celine shuffles her feet clearly uncomfortable. "I didn't know Ryan had this many sisters but then again I don't know much about him" Celine says.

"He didn't tell me he had sisters?" Ava asks.

"No, he didn't tell me anything about himself. In fact, I think he was only there out of respect to the person who introduced us". I am going to kill whoever did this introduction.

"Who introduced you guys?" Raina asks reading my mind.

"Paul". I look at Ava.

"Paul, from Chemistry?" Ava asks. Celine nods, "He's a friend of Ryan". I am going to kill Paul.

"Did Ryan tell you to meet him here?" I ask getting angry. Ryan has never brought a girl home before. He wouldn't disrespect me like that.

"No, Paul told me to come, he said Ryan talked about me after our date, that he was sorry for how he treated me on our date and would like to see me today to make up for the last date". I am going to destroy Paul and then kill him, I thought he was a cool person when I met him but how wrong was I.

"I am so happy I came , I got to meet Ryan sisters. I feel like Ryan and I just got closer" Celine continues.

"We are not his sisters" Ava snaps, she doesn't like her.

"Well, I am his sister" Raina says.

"Oh okay. You are..." she trails looking at Ava and I.

"One of his bestfriends" Ava answers

"His wife" I answer.

The girl bursts into a fit of laughter. Then stops when she sees our unamused faces.

"You're not joking". I nodded.

"He's married?"

"Yes" Raina snaps.

"I'm so sorry, I didn't know he is married. I promise not to see him again" she starts crying. If you come to the scene you would think we were bullying her. She was about to leave when Lucas cars rides up the driveway and comes to a stop. Ryan and Lucas exit the car.

"Celine, what you doing here?" Ryan greets walking up to us.

"I'm sorry, but I don't think we should see each other again" Celine answers fully sobbing now. She walks away from him and runs towards the gate.

"Why was she crying?" Ryan asks when he gets to us.

"Really Ryan" Ava says. I glare at him.

"What?!" he shouts.

"I can't believe you sometimes" Raina says.

"She is just a friend"

"I don't think she knows that, Ry. Why don't I bring 'friends' over too". Ryan glares at me. He walks over to me slowly, not stopping until he is toe to toe with me.

"Do not try me, Mae", he says dangerously. His cologne fills my nose. I bite my lower lips to stop myself from getting carried away by this gorgeous man. His eyes draw to my lips. I quickly lick my lips as they are going dry under his gaze. His breath hitches as his eyes follow my movement. For a minute it feels like we are the only people around.

Lucas coughs bringing us back to reality.

I lean towards Ryan, "I would think about it" I whisper then walk back to the living room.

"Do not cry" Ava says as she sits beside me.

"We are here for you" Raina adds.

"I'm going to get Ryan back" I tell them.

''What?" Ava shouts. Thank goodness Ryan and Lucas are upstairs.

"I want Ryan back and I am going to make him want me back" I say slowly.

"Date someone else" Raina says.

"Huh?"

"I know my brother and he cannot stand to see you with another guy, its gonna drive him crazy" Raina says.

"Besides, it would make him realize what he is missing" Ava adds.

"I love it but I don't want to go on a real date, wouldn't be fair to the guy"

"Larson's friend Scott is the perfect guy. He is not ready to date but wants to meet knew friends, it's perfect. You meet a new friend and you drive my brother crazy"

"Sounds like a plan" Ava says.

''I'm in" I state loving the plan, it wouldn't hurt to try.

"I wonder what went wrong with you two. You guys were perfect" Raina says before facing the television. Our friends do not know what went wrong, I don't think Ryan and I even know what went wrong.

"We are still perfect for each other" I whisper. Raina smiles at me. After the series, Ava and Raina go home, I wave them goodbye and I get to work. I have company and school work to catch up on, it's a lot of work. I was wrapping up my school project when I get a message from Ava.

He's cute right?

There is a link below, I clicked. It directs me to a guy's Instagram page. He is cute, he as a very bright blue eyes that compliment his blond hair. I don't think I've seen the guy around school before.

Yes. I reply.

I closed my Instagram and go back to work. It takes me a while to finish the assignment. As soon as I am done, I take a shower and prepare to sleep when my phone rings. I check it and see my mum's pretty face on the caller ID. I pick it up.

"Hi, mum" I greet. I didn't know how much I missed her till I heard her voice.

"Hello, love. How are you?".

"I'm fine, just finished some assignments" I answer, "How's dad" I ask.

"He's good. We're in Tokyo" she said. Its hard to keep up with where they are after their early retirement from the company. They left me in charge of the company and go on a well deserved vacation.

"Okay, have fun" was all I could say.

"I called to find out how you and your husband are doing". Mum hardly calls Ryan by his name ever since we got married. She loves that we are married.

"We're fine" I lie.

"Alright then. Bye. Love you".

"Love you too, mum". I say before she cuts the call. I'm happy that that was a short conversation cause I really need and want to sleep.

"Mae, you awake?" I hear Ryan by the door.

"Yes, come in" I told him and he opened the door. Wow. It takes a lot for me not drool all over myself. He leans shirtless against my door frame. His pajama's trousers hand loose on his waist revealing his v-shaped torso. His hair falls to his face, still wet from his shower. The thought of him in the shower sends shiver down my body. His muscles bulge as he brushes his hair from his face. I bite the inside of my mouth trying to keep myself in check.

"I came to apologize" he says breaking my trance.

"For?" I asked raising an eyebrow.

"Celine".

"Oh, your date".

"Mae... " he trails.

"What?" I ask innocently.

"Ok, I deserve this"

"Yes"

"I'm sorry but-" he pauses. He's about to ruin his apology. "I don't have to explain who I bring home to you". Called it.

"Ry, you do. Its still our home". He takes a deep breath at the sound of 'home'. It hasn't felt like the home i love for so long. "I am tired, Ry, apology not accepted. Goodnight"

"Sorry, what can I do to make it up to you?"

"Drive me to school and back home for a week"

''No"

"Two weeks"

"What?" he shouts.

"Three weeks"

"I can't Mae"

"You are gonna drive me around for a month not just school" I say with a devilish smirk. "You can keep complaining, it would only go up. Do we have a deal?"

"Yes"

"Good. My class is at twelve, see you tomorrow. Goodnight"

"Night", he turns to walk away but quickly looks back.

"Yeah?"

"Why was Celine crying earlier, what did you say to her?". He's he serious.

"Are you seriously asking me about her?"

"I'm curious"

I sigh, "I told her I'm your wife and she got so scared" I said. Ryan just laughed. I miss him that sound, it's one of the best sounds I have ever heard. Took a while for me to fall asleep, I just lay there thinking; Celine coming over, Ryan, his body, face, smell. I want him so bad.

*****

Ring Ring Ring

Why me? I toss on my bed, trying to untangle the blanket off of me.

Ring Ring Ring

My alarm rings again, "I'm awake", I shout hitting my alarm to shut it. I lay in bed trying to get my brain to wake up. I didn't get much sleep at all, I just kept turning and tossing through the night. My brain finally wakes up, I am going to school with Ryan today, I told him twelve but I have to leave earlier, I have to submit a project. I grab my phone and send a text to Ryan.

I have to be at school by 9am

Meet you by the car

I check the time, 7am. I rush to the bathroom and take a cold shower, if I wasn't awake before, I am now. I rush to the closet to decide what to wear. I need to look sexy, that's the one way to get Ryan attention and I need his attention on me. My phone dings, its a text from Raina.

Scott would meet you in front of your department

Okay, thanks. Does he know I'm married?

Yes

That's better. I'd see you at school?

Yes, at the food court.

It takes a while to choose my cloth for the day, I want it to be hot but also as if I am not trying. The hotness has to be upped everyday for the month he's driving me everywhere. I finally decide on a black body fitting short dress, the dress wrapped my body perfectly and stopped just below my butt. I especially love it because of the small spaghetti straps, the cleavage it shows and the two tiny slits by my thighs in front of the dress, the strappy back of the dress completes it for me. It is perfect. I pair it with a pearl choker, knuckle rings and my wristwatch. I put my hair up in a messy bun leaving some hair around my face. I love how bare my shoulder looks in this dress, I decided to wear black heels because they make my legs look longer. I do my makeup, light as ever and put on perfume. I carry my computer bag and leave the room. I feel good. It was exactly nine when I walk out of the house.

Ryan was by the car but he was on the phone. He wore a simple blue t-shirt and jeans paired with his sneakers. He was looking so sexy not going to lie. I coughed to get his attention and boy did I. His eyes widened at the sight of me and clouded immediately. Mission accomplished.

"I would call you back" he says to whoever is on the phone. He rests on the car and visibly checks me out. I love his eyes on me.

''Sorry, hope I didn't keep you waiting" I walk slowly towards him, I am happy when I see his eyes follow the sway of my hips. He clears his throat.

"Hum, I just got out here myself" he tries to compose himself.

"Okay" I say when I get to him.

"Ready?" he asks as and opens the door for me. I gently place my hand on his chest and thank him. Sitting in the car my dress went up, I drew it up more before he got to the driver's side giving him unobstructed view of my legs. His eyes went straight to my legs as he entered the car, he stared at them a good minute before catching himself and starting the car. I kept moving in the car during the drive for unnecessary reasons cause the more I moved the more my dress went up, and the more it went up, the heavier Ryan's breathing got. He suddenly stops at a café.

"What is wrong?" I ask

"Nothing, I just got hungry" he says and get out of the car. I follow him out of the car and into the café happy with myself that my plan is working.

I walk ahead of Ryan into the building giving him a full view of my strappy back dress. If only he knew I just started.
