was destiny.
The short , blonde haired vixen had been his angel when he’d needed someone, after his break up with Amy. He’d just wanted someone to get lost in and he’d found a website. The site was open to men and woman who wanted to have a good time with no strings attached, and when he’d read ‘Noel’s’ profile he knew he had to meet her. When he saw her, he couldn’t believe his eyes, she was breath-taking. Now she wanted him just for sex, just a fuck buddy. He wanted more, but didn’t want to sound needy. He wanted to be with her, and would do almost anything to get what he wanted.
He knew it was crazy for him to want what he wanted from her without truly knowing her, but there was something about her. The way she reacted when he touched her, it was as if she was made for him. As he pulled into the station he saw his partner. She was waiting for him with some coffee.
He slowly got o ut of his car and walked toward her. She beamed at him and a part of his heart broke again over her. She was very attractive with her long, dark-black hair and bright green eyes. They’d gone to the police academy together and he’d been pleased when they were assigned as partners. Until one night they took their friendship to the next level, and had sex. After a few months of sleeping together, He’d told her he loved her, and she’d told him she loved him too. But after about six months, she’d started pulling away, being secretive and lying to him. He’d followed her to a hotel and found her in someone else’s arms. That was when he’d ended it. She’d said if it was too hard to work with her, she would ask for a new partner. But he hadn’t let her. He’d told her they were still friends after all, and he trusted her with his life. He never told her he knew about the other man.
“Hey , Amy,” he said as he smiled at her.
S he bit her bottom lip in response to him and he wondered if it was time to ask for a new partner, maybe a man. “Hey I brought you your favorite coffee,” she said as she held out the coffee cup and he gladly took it.
“Thanks,” he replied and they both walked to the station together.
Chapter Five
After an easy day at work, Gretchen sat at the bar waiting on her best friend to meet her. Mickey’s bar was smoky and crowded as usual for Saturday night, but she’d figured it would be, Mickey’s was pretty popular. The regular Saturday night bartender waited on her and he knew what Gretchen wanted. She allowed herself one drink when she was driving and most of the time she didn’t finish it before she was asking for a Coke.
She thought back over her day, and recalled that she had n’t been happy when her boss showed her the newspaper. Her arrest was on the front page, she was livid that Robert would do that to her.
“You’re here!”
She turned to see Laura sit next to her. “Of course I am. I told you I would be, didn’t I?” Gretchen smiled at her friend.
“Yes , but I thought you might be handcuffed to your bed or something.” Laura winked and waved her hand to get the bartender’s attention. She ordered her drink, a strawberry daiquiri and Gretchen ordered a Coke. “Start talking,” Laura ordered, and Gretchen grinned.
“There isn’t much to tell, ” she lied and knew her best friend wouldn’t believe her.
“If you don’t start talking , I’m going to kick your ass.”
Gretchen laughed and knew Laura wasn’t joking. “Fine I decided Stefan and I will be friends with benefits.”
Laura did something she had never done before, she went silent.
The bartender se t down her strawberry daiquiri and then handed Gretchen her Coke.
F inally, Laura opened her mouth. “Sweetie, I don’t think that is a good idea, you’ll get hurt.”
Gretchen knew she was right, she would get hurt , but it was the only way she could have Stefan and she wasn’t going to lose him again, at least not anytime soon. She sighed, and turned her attention to her drink.
