" wasn't ignoring you on purpose. " feels the need to clarify that much, because who in their right mind would turn a blind eye to someone like her? she was captivating, their connection effortless — a gravitation pull he doesn't experience very often. " but when the boss calls, bets are off. " fingers instinctively curl underneath the curve of her ass, giving it a firm squeeze as lips hover near the shell of her ear. " i've got all night. where can we go? "

the clarification prompts an eye roll, an exasperated sigh slipping past brims. ❛ whether it was on purpose or not, it still happened. ❜ losing the interest to continue on the conversation, knowing it was a losing game because she'd give into whatever he said with just one look. ❛ so, you'd drop me now if your boss calls ? ❜ she said with a teasing tone in her voice, knows better than to question that. the feeling of their closeness as he whispers in her ear sends shivers down her spine, ❛ you expecting me to take you home because you've got all night ? ❜

part of her has to wonder if these games ever exhaust him, putting on a front, tricking women into using them for his own advantage. either he believes she's the dumbest person alive, or he's completely shameless. doesn't know which is worse. " want me how exactly? " perfectly plucked brow raises in challenge, ignoring the way his eyes rake over her physique. maybe the words would hold meaning coming from anyone else, but she's been a victim to players and their traps before. living it is one thing, trying to learn from past mistakes is another. " because i'm pretty sure you just wanna get your dick wet. "

❛ want you how ? ❜ asks dumbfounded that she'd even question how he wanted her when he had been adamant about taking her out previously. he'd been vocal about wanting to spend time with her, she piqued his interest more everyday. couldn't pick out what it was exactly that he wanted, but he knew he would do anything for a shot. ❛ i obviously want you so i can take you out, show you off, treat you to anything you want, get to know more about you. all the innocent stuff. ❜ words were spoken lowly, a laugh following quickly behind at her comment. ❛ if i just wanted to get my dick wet, i'd go wherever i wanted for it. i'm here because i want to get to know you more, not for that reason. ❜

" you're acting as if i didn't warn you about my job from the jump. " his unconventional schedule, disappearing at random hours, often for days at a time, they're things he's mentioned early on. it was non-negotiable. " all you need to say is that you'll let me make it up to you. " a peace offering, grin lifting the corners of his mouth upward as arms wrap around her waist, pulling her into him.

❛ i'm acting like you didn't communicate with me. ❜ blue hues finding his eyes as she looks up at him, brows knit together as he brushes off her attitude. she was told from the start, she understood, but she didn't like it. ❛ you can make up for it. ❜ manicured digits find his chest, letting her melt into his touch as she toys with the fabric of his shirt. ❛ just think that you wouldn't have to make up for it if you didn't ignore me. ❜

finds difficulty protesting someone so stubborn in their ways, but still challenges him further. " you only want me because you can't have me. you like the chase. " glossy lips wrap around the martini glass nestled between manicured digits, taking a sip as eyebrows raise towards him. " or am i wrong? "

pegged him quick, knew he was caught red handed in how she figured him out. ❛ nah, that's not true. you are wrong. ❜ a lie. she wasn't wrong, he knew that she knew she wasn't wrong. she was unattainable, never gave him the time of day and it only made him want her more. ❛ i want you. plain and simple, i just want you. ❜ he flashes her a smile, leaning against the bar as he let his eyes wander from her face to her body then back to meet her eyes. ❛ how long are you going to fight this ? ❜

" been caught up with work. " which isn't a complete lie. may not be able to share the details, though he doubts she needs an explaination when their arrangement is strictly casual. broad shoulders fall in a shrug, frame leaning against the bar as gaze remains steady on her. " maybe it isn't an excuse, but i'm here. that should count for something, no? "

❛ the classic work excuse is what you're going with ? ❜ tilts head to the side, taking in his demeanor and how nonchalant he was that he practically avoided her. ❛ sure. i'll give you some points for being here now, is that what you were looking for me to say ? ❜ aware that she had no right to be annoyed, they weren't anything serious, but still felt a type of way.

" for starters, maybe quit breathing down my neck. " tone is half-joking, the alcohol in her system making her feel lighter than usual, though it doesn't negate the fact that he's bad news. " you just won't quit, will you? "

knows he's barking up the wrong tree, clear as day in the way she continued to shoot him down at every chance she had. ❛ no, i don't quit. ❜ statement came out bluntly, as if it were a matter-of-fact. ❛ when i want something, i go for it. is that so bad ? ❜

" so, what's good? you avoiding me now? "

the question confuses her, face evidently gives it away as a puzzled expression finds her features. ❛ you think i'm avoiding you ? cute when you're the one who's doing the avoiding. and even if i was, so what ? ❜

" i really wish i didn't find out about what you did . "

❛ i was going to tell you. ❜ it's half a confession, he couldn't face the reality of what he did the night she left him with the impression they had been on a break. if he had known they weren't on one, he never would've slept with some girl he doesn't even remember her name. ❛ the intention was to tell you, but i didn't want to hurt you. i never wanted to hurt you. ❜

couldn't admit he was right, that they were in too deep and there was no going back. wanted nothing more than to be swallowed whole, to ignore these overwhelming feelings he ignited within her and pretend they didn't exist. girls like her didn't fall, especially not for guys like him. he was so juvenile — the polar opposite of all the men who came before him, yet the universe kept drawing them to each other. didn't know if it was some kind of sick joke or a sign telling her he was the type of man she needed in her life. " because it was never supposed to go this far! " hands flail in the air, exasperation boiling over as voice increases an octave. " and now you're everywhere like a damn pest, just floating around my space and it's irritating. you're irritating. i can't even stand you half the time, but somehow you're always here. it's confusing the fuck out of me. "

he was constantly at war with her, falling to her feet with just one glance in his direction but in the same motion, he was scolded to things beyond his control. as difficult as it's proven itself to be years later, homme couldn't let go of her and came back every time because he knew she was all he wanted. ❛ then why did you let it get this far, kat ? i didn't force your hand, you still come around. ❜ although she began to get animated, he stayed still. listening and taking in whatever she decided to throw in his direction. ❛ when will you confess to yourself, and me, that you do care ? it's not confusing, you're just fighting it. you don't want to feel any kind of way towards me, but you do and that scares you. ❜ he tries to stay level headed, reasoning with her even if she was fighting him.

has an uncontrollable urge to laugh, instead chooses to bite his tongue. " you want to be with him and you're letting another dude give you orgasms? yeah, sure, that makes sense. " sarcasm is laced with each word, frustration bubbling through his tone. her guard was up and rightfully so. track record wasn't the cleanest, made many mistakes in their past. was she going to hang them over his head for the rest of his life? " god, would you quit lying to yourself? " it's becoming increasingly difficult to stay level-headed when she's spewing false truths. " i'm not the same guy i was when we met. so much time has passed since then, we're different people now. " ─── " i'll be the first to admit i was immature. i didn't know what i wanted, but to hold that against me years later... when you don't even know this version of me is ridiculous. how am i supposed to prove myself to you if you won't give me a chance? "

despite her pleading him to not go any further, he continues and it causes her heart to sink to her stomach. ❛ i just said don't, didn't i ? ❜ he was right, she didn't want to be with him. what she wanted was to see the change in mason, to finally get that piece of them she's wanted for years now that he's offering it to her. ❛ so what if i really don't want to be with him ? ❜ she finally admits, to both herself and mason. ❛ are you seriously saying that you're changed and that the past is in the past ? i'm struggling to believe you. ❜ he made a valid point, they were different people from when they first met. she thought she knew him like the back of her hand, but hearing him continue that he's no longer who he used to be had her doubting it. ❛ i can't deal with another heartbreak because of you. if you're serious, then i need to see the change before i dive head first with you. ❜

" of course i do , " he answers as if he's offended that the femme thinks he's just making it up . shaking his head , arms folded over his chest as if looking stern would sway her to divulge the truth . " as your boyfriend , " intentionally leaving out that one word , because truthfully he didn't feel as though anything between them was just an act , " i want to know what's bothering you so i can help you . so no , i'm not letting it go , bria . you might as well tell me or i'm not leaving . "

❛ it's not worth caring about, it's dumb. ❜ she continues on to attempt at dismissing the topic. however, once he pulls out the boyfriend card but leaving the only crucial part, she tilts her head off to the side and studies him, the concern and need for the truth etched on his countenance. the part she hated the most of their agreement, the part that she tried to forget about and act like everything between them was real. ❛ you're missing something. ❜ femme adds her own commentary to reference the boyfriend piece. ❛ it's not something that needs your help, it's my problem. i just ... ❜ i don't know is what she tried to say, but the words fall short.
