4. Thursday (nervous titter…) - Sensual Romance "Friends with Benefits Part 1"


At the studio

Robbie pushed the script he was reading back on to the pile on his desk and Stretched. Being a script reader was a suckish job for someone who would much rather be in front of the camera, or have his hands on the set. His phone rang and he looks at the caller id. "Shit."

At the theater

Jade stood waiting in front of the theater. She was annoyed, her phone pressed to her ear. Finally the other line picked up. "Hey, baby where are you? Are you still at work?" She asked keeping her annoyance at bay.

At the studio

"No, Not even close." Robbie said standing up from his chair suddenly and began to tidy up a bit.

At the theater

Jade grits her teeth in her frustration, and begins to pace. "Just so you know, the movie starts in ten minutes."

At the studio

"I… I know." He says and knocks over his coffee on to his pants. "Shit," he says as he looks around the room. He pokes his head out and spots his friend Sinjin walking down the hall. "Hey Sinj, give me your pants."

"What?" Sinjin asked his cheeks coloring a little.

"Come on Sinj, I'll buy you lunch tomorrow," Robbie said.

"No," Sinjin responded.

"Sinj, you know I've got the bosses ear, I can hook you up, come on!" Robbie insisted. "Give me your pants."

At the theater

"Babe," Jade said frustrated. "Please, try not to be late; really hate missing the beginning."

At the Studio

"I know. I know." Robbie said into the phone, as Sinjin took off his pants revealing that he wasn't wearing any underwear. Robbie groaned screwing his eyes shut and turned away spotting Burf down the hall. "Hey Burf! Give me your pants."

Minutes later at the studio.

Robbie had already changed into Burf's pants and was running out to his car. "Baby, I swear I'm almost there."

At the theater

Jade looked at the line of people going into the theater, and fought the rage that was bubbling up. She smiled through her next words. "How far away?"

In his car.

Robbie juggled the phone and the steering wheel as he drove as fast as he could to his destination. "I think I see you," He lied.

At the theater.

Jade perks up and looks around. "Where are you? I'm here."

At the parking lot.

He got out of his car at a deserted parking lot and began to rush to where he needed to be. "So am I!" He exclaimed and looked around a little turned around. "So many people. What are you wearing?" He didn't feel bad for lying he just wanted to get into the girls pants anyway.

At the theater.

"I'm wearing the only clothes outside of the theater, because I'm the only person outside the theater!" Jade screamed into the phone.

Parking lot

"I love that outfit." He stated finally coming to a sidewalk where he was supposed to meet his girl. He didn't see her, maybe she was on the other side. "You look sexy in that."

At the theater

"You know I love this movie!" Jade said through gritted teeth.

On the sidewalk

Robbie ran to catch up to his girl. "I know it means a lot to you. Which means it means a lot to me."

At the theater

"Well apparently it doesn't." Jade was more than annoyed, she was furious now. She gripped her phone in frustration.

Running on the sidewalk

"Baby, I'm looking at you right now. I can see you!" Robbie exclaimed.

At the theater

Jade heard her name being called, and she dropped the phone turning toward her date. "About Fucking time!" She growled

At a Concert at the stadium

Robbie ran up to a girl with velvety red hair and kissed her cheek. "Here's an idea," She started. "The next time, instead of being late, just shit on my face. Cause that's kind of the same as missing 'what makes you beautiful'" The girl said truly annoyed with Robbie.

"Cat, I'm sorry!" He said.

At the theater

The man she had been waiting for came up to her and sighed giving her a sheepish smile. "Listen, Jade…" He said running his fingers through his longish brown hair. "I just feel we should chill for a while, you know"

Jade was taken aback, "you're doing this?" she scoffed. "Beck, you said I was your soul mate!"

Beck's eyebrow's rose, "I did? When?" He asked.

"When we were at that Bed & Breakfast, having sex." She reminded him.

Beck laughed a little, "But you know, that doesn't-"

"That doesn't what?" Jade said menacingly.

"Count." He finished his sentence and Jade pulled back her arm and punched him in the nose.

At the concert

"I was tied up at work." Robbie apologized again. He just really needed to get some and he was hoping to actually get somewhere with this that night. "I'm sorry."

Cat turned to him and rolled her eyes. "Maybe you should care a little less about work and a little more about the girl you're dating?" Cat knew what he wanted, an she was tired of being used. She turned away and quirked her eyebrow. "'Cause the last time I checked," Cat continued cuttingly, "work doesn't reassure you that sticking a finger up your ass doesn't make you gay."

Robbie's face reddened and he came closer to her and whisper yelled. "I never said, go up! Okay? I just said, lightly around." He stopped and looked around to make sure no one was near by. "I's like a … like a little button." He stopped himself when Cat's face became more amused with each passing word. "You know what? Not your issue anymore."

At the theater

"So this is why you were late?" Jade asked walking away from the theater. "You were worried about how to break up with me?"

"No! no, no, I was trying to decide what to wear." Beck said running his fingers through his hair.

Jade stopped walking and looked him up and down and scoffed, "So you went with sneakers and a hoodie?" Beck shrugged. "What? Are you gonna go take the S.A.T.'s after this?"

Beck sighed, "Don't lash out, okay? You're better than that."

"Oh, I'm really not." She said and started walking again.

At the concert

"I just think we're heading in different directions." Cat stated looking up at the lanky guy.

"Yeah… You to the One Direction concert, and me not!" Robbie said and turned away. "Thank you for doing this before the concert by the way. Best break up EVER!"

Cat watched him go then yelled, "They are the N*Sync of our generation!" She yelled back.

At the theater

"Can I ask you a quick question?" Jade asked pausing at the street corner, "And just know, that I am not at all crushed by this break up, so be honest." She paused, and he nodded. "Why?"

He laughed slightly, "Is this a trick?

She shook her head. "No. Just pure anthropological research."

"Okay," Beck took a moment to think. "Well you want someone to sweep you off your feet, but you're not interest on getting swept off your feet. You seem like you got it totally together, but you are irrevocably emotionally damaged. Also you have really freaky eyes, they freak me out sometimes."

Jade grits her teeth having heard enough. "Thank you. That's enough."

At the concert

"It isn't you at all Robbie," Cat said.

"Of course it's me, Cat!" Robbie said turning back toward her. "You can't say that! You're breaking up with me!"

"It's not! It's me! I just don't like you anymore." Cat said. Robbie would have laughed if it didn't mean he wasn't getting any tonight. "Look, You're a great guy. Emotionally unavailable, but great."

"Swell." Robbie said turning away again

"I really want to stay friends!" Cat yelled after him.

"Screw you." He said and headed for his car. Once in it, he sighed kind of relieved he didn't have to deal with the vapid tramp anymore, "Why do relationships always start off so fun and then turn into suck-a-bag-of-dicks?" He said starting up his car once more.

Jade's apartment

"Jade, no! You guys looked so cute together!" Her friend Tori said at the other end of the line while Jade sat on her couch eating ice cream.

"Tori, You really have to stop buying into this bullshit Hollywood cliché of true love." Then she sighed, "but he was really hot."

"So what are you gonna do now, Jade?" Tori asked her best friend.

"I think… I'm just gonna shut myself down emotionally. Like George Clooney."

Robbie's car

Robbie angrily maneuvered in his car through the streets of Los Angeles, headed back to the studio for work. "I'm just gonna work and fuck. Like George Clooney." He said to himself pulling up to the studio parking lot.

He went back to the script he had been imbibed in before the whole debacle, and instantly saw the words anew. He loved this script. He was gonna get it made. Quickly he went into his email and shot off an email to his boss.


Two weeks later

Jade as nervous as hell walking to the studio. When three days ago she received an e-mail from Robert Shapiro, she was skeptical that they really wanted to pick up her script. She thought maybe it was some sort of joke. She had never heard of Robert Shapiro before.

She walked into a little studio, and a moss headed guy looked at her and dropped all of the props he was carrying. She smiled and helped him pick some of it up. "Hi, I'm Jade West, I'm looking for Robert Shapiro?"

"In there," was all he said, and then pointed dumbly to Rob's office. She smiled at him again and headed in that direction. She peeked inside and saw a curly headed man bent over his laptop typing furiously into a blog about scriptwriting. One that she recognized well and she realized she had heard of the reader.

"Knock, knock!" She said. Robbie jumped and looked over at the vision by the door.

He looked at his watch and smiled, "You're early! Just let me update this blog and I'll take you over to the boss."

"The reader?" She said teasingly.

"Yeah, it has gotten about six million hits." He stated proudly.

Jade smiled ruefully, "I could put up a video of me mixing cake batter with my boobs. And it will get eight million hits."

Oh lady came to play! Robbie thought smirking back. "That's been done." He said pushing the publish button. "Dunkin-My-Tits-Hynes dot com."

Jade's eyebrows shot up, "really?" Robbie laughed and led her Mr. Sikowitz's office.

"Good luck." He said and headed back to his office.

The pitch took a long time, but jade came out a winner with an option to make her movie. As she came out of Sikowitz's office, Robbie was gathering up his things. "I guess I'll be seeing you around Rob." She said coming up to him.

"Yeah…" he stated and picked up his stuff. "Hey, you up for hanging out tonight? I want to talk about your script."

Jade smiled, "sure." They headed out together.

They sat at dinner and talked about everything. It was an instant friendship tinged with a bit of mutual attraction that neither really wanted to explore due to recent occurrences. So they took it easy, and just talked. But soon talk turned onto relationships. "Why do women think the only way to get a man to do what they want is to manipulate them?"

Jade leaned back in her chair and shrugged, "I don't know," she started "History. Personal experience. Romantic comedies." Robbie laughed at the last part.

"Hey you wanna get out of here?" he asked.

"Yeah," Jade said with a smile, "I have something cool to show you." She drove this time to a remote place away from the city lights and high up. She parked her car and sighed. "Have you ever been up here?"

"No." Robbie said looking up at the sky.

"It's the only place in the city you can actually see the stars. I mean really see them."

"Wow!" Robbie said feeling a twinge of want in him. "It's very awesome."

"Yeah." Jade responded sitting on the hood of her car. He follows suit and they lean back and stare for a while. "I like to come up here to think. Just when it gets a little too much for me down there. It's like... it's like my own personal mountaintop. Best part, no cell reception."

Robbie laughed, "Aah! You bring all the guys up here?"

Jade bit her lip and turned to Robbie. "Actually, never really taken anyone up here," she murmured.

Robbie looked at her, "Really?"

"Yeah."

"Thanks." Robbie said feeling incredibly special and close to this woman. He realized he could never use her and leave her.

"If you tell anyone about this, I will rip your ears off and staple them to your neck." Jade stated simply looking back up at the sky.

Robbie Laughed, "graphic!"

Jade laughed too, "I don't know, the city is full of people, and it gets to be too much, but sometimes, it also feels nice to feel like you're a part of something. LA can be a little bit lonely at times."

Robbie nodded in understanding. "Every place can be a bit lonely sometimes."

"Promise me you won't ever let me be lonely." Jade said, as she sat up to look at Robbie's eyes. "Be my friend."

Robbie smiled, "Yeah… Alright."


A few days later

Robbie waked out of his office, and spotted Jade looking over some script changes she had made and smiled heading over to her. "Hey! I was thinking of getting some lunch. Do you know a place?"

Jade quirked a brow, "Are you asking me out?" She really hoped he was.

"Well, I...I'm not asking you out." He said, but he really was. "I'm asking you to show me a restaurant."

"I mean, I'm the only female friend you have, you don't want to complicate that!" She said trying to save face.

Robbie's eyes widened. "I know! I'm not asking you out."

Jade was a little offended, but whatever, she continued to ramble on. "I mean, sure. We'd have fun, roll around. Get into some erotic humiliation fantasy-"

"Erotic fan...?" Robbie looked around the office mortified, "could you just lower the-"

"-which would blow up in our faces, end badly. And we'd never speak to each other again!" Jade finished at a lower register. She had a smirk on her face that he was yet unable to read.

"I'm not fucking asking you out! I swear to God!" Robbie said exasperated.

Jade looked at him dejectedly, a pout forming on her lips. "Okay. You don't like me like that. You don't have to be so mean about it."

Robbie's face falters, "I'm sorry. I didn't...I..."

Jade began to laugh. The look on his face was priceless she couldn't help it. "God! You're such a girl." She stops laughing and pulls him along. "Come on, it's my treat."

" Shut up! You're emotionally unavailable?" Jade said at lunch as they talked about their last break ups.

"Oh, yeah!" Robbie said putting some food in his mouth.

"Oh, my God! I'm emotionally damaged." She said with a laugh. "Why haven't I seen you at the meetings?"

Robbie laughed then shook his head. "I'm done with the relationship thing."

Jade shakes her head. "Girl, you are preaching to the congregation." She agreed.

Robbie raised a brow. "Choir."

"What?"

"Preaching to the choir. You're supposed to preach to the congregation." He corrected, "That's the expression."

Jade turned a glare on him. "Did you understand what I was saying?" She asked. He nodded. "Then don't be a dick about it."

"Sorry!" Robbie said.

"Look do you wanna get out of here?" Jade said. "We'll hang out at my house and watch movies and stuff."

Robbie shrugged; He really didn't have to be back at the studio. "Sure."

Jade and Robbie sat on her couch. She looked over at him surprised he wanted to watch some chick flick and wondered if he was watching it just because he wanted to seem like the sensitive guy. "Why do all these movies have such bad music?" she wondered aloud.

Robbie smirked and glanced over at her. "So that you know how to feel every single second."

Jade rolled her eyes. "Whatever, I know how to feel I don't need anyone telling me how to feel." She started staring at the screen really not paying attention to what is going on. "I'm heart broken. Bam-bum-bam-bummm! I'm getting married to the man of my dreams. Bum-bam-bum-bam-bammm! I'm sneaking to an office. Dom-dom-boom-boom-boom- boom!

Robbie laughs hardily at Jade's interpretation, then sighs looking back at the screen. "God, I wish my life was a movie sometimes." He murmured as the credits began to roll. "You know, I'd never have to worry about my hair looking weird, or having to go to the bathroom. And then when I'm at my lowest point, some girl would chase me down the street, pour her heart out and we'd kiss. Happily ever after."

Jade snorted, "Are you for real right now?" She laughed.

"I mean, come on.. Not even having to worry that your weirdness or dedication to your work is going to affect your partner. That's awesome!" He continued.

Jade smirked "Not as awesome as this ambiguously upbeat pop song that has nothing to do with the plot! They put in at the end to try to convince you that you had a great time at this shitty movie."

Robbie laughed again. "Why don't they ever a make a movie about what happens after they kiss?" He asked with a sigh.

"They do," she deadpanned. "It's called porn." Robbie laughed hard this time.

"That's so true," He agreed. Jade couldn't help but join him. She was so comfortable with him it was a little unnerving at times.

"God, I miss sex!" She exclaimed once the laughter subsided. "Right, I mean sometimes you just need it. It's like...uh, it's like cracking your neck."

Robbie snorted. "Why does it always gotta come with complications?"

"And emotions." She agreed.

"And guilt."

"Whoa! Guilt!"

"It's women's fault." Robbie said searching for something else to watch.

Jade turned to him and narrowed her eyes. "What?"

"You heard me!" Robbie said cockily. "'Hold me.' 'Lets spend the rest of our lives together.'" He stated using a girly voice.

Jade rolled her eyes, "Oh, please! You men are no better." She started panting like men did during sex. "'Oh, yeah. Baby, come on now. Say my name." Then she screwed her face up, and grunted. "Yeah...eee...uuhh! I'm done. How was that?'"

Robbie chuckled and cocked an eyebrow. "Whom have you been with?" Jade laughed a little. Robbie continued to change the channel until he came to Tennis. They both watched for a little bit.

"Why can it not be like that?" Jade said staring at Serena Williams whoop the crap out of Sharpova at the Australian open. "It's a physical act. Like playing tennis. Two people should be able to have sex like they're playing tennis."

Robbie nodded. "Yeah! I mean, no one wants to go away for the weekend after they play tennis."

"It's just a game. You shake hands, you get on with your shit."

"Yeah."

"Yeah." They stay silent for a while just staring at the screen. "Robbie?"

"Yeah?" Robbie answered, putting some popcorn in his mouth.

"Let's play tennis."

He paused, his hand half way to his face with another hand full of popcorn. He struggled to swallow the fluffy corn already in his mouth. "What?"

"Let's have sex like we're playing tennis." She stated, matter of fact.

Robbie started to laugh. Was she serious? "Get the hell outta here!"

"Don't laugh! This could be great." She said turning toward him. "This could take all the weirdness out of it."

Robbie looked down at his hands, "Well, we talked about this. I don't like you like that."

"I don't like you like that either!" She said plowing ahead with her plan. "That's why it's perfect."

"I don't even know if I find you attractive." Robbie stated.

Jade laughed, "Yeah, that's cute."

He smirked and cocked his eyebrow again. She found that so adorable. "Mmm. I do have a thing for ganks." Then he bit his lips and looked down at himself. "Well, do you even find me attractive?"

Jade smiled softly, "It doesn't matter… as long as I get off."

"No, really…" He stated. "Before you got to know my awesome personality. Strictly physical. First time you saw me."

"Just us friends talking?" She asked.

"Yeah just two guys at the sports bar talking. Go."

"I like your lips, I thought you might be a good kisser." She said.

"I am," he simply stated the he said. "I liked your eyes. I didn't think I'd ever seen such beautiful blue eyes."

"I liked your hands."

"Your mouth."

"Butt."

"Voice."

"Chest."

"Eyes."

She paused a moment and just looked at Robbie. "You said that."

He shrugged, "I meant it." He looked at her thoughtfully, "You swear you don't want anything more other than sex?"

"You swear you don't want anything more from me?" She asked in return, and then reached for her scriptwriting bible. "Do you swear? No relationship. No emotions. Just sex."

"Whatever happens, we stay friends." He swore. Then they stood there kind of paralyzed. "So I guess… we should just start."

"Okay," she said putting her book down.

"All right, I'll serve." He stated.

She turned towards him with narrowed eyes. "Ah, that's really...that's enough of the tennis. Let's go to the bedroom."

Robbie froze in place. It was too real. "What's wrong with the couch? It's less emotional."

Jade quirked an eyebrow. "The bedroom has better light. And since we're just friends, I don't have to be insecure about my body." She stated walking towards her room pulling off her shirt.

"Come on!" Robbie said following suit "Okay, you're beautiful. You have nothing to be insecure about." He unbuckled his jeans and dropped trou.

"You see!" Jade stopped for a second and turned to face him. "That is way too emotionally supportive and you need to just lock that down!" She turned to pull down her own pants.

Robbie looked for something to pick on and shrugged. "Well, you're ass is a little bony." He stated.

She turned and smiled at him. "Much better." She finished taking off her bra and underwear as she said. "Here's the deal, my nipples are sensitive. I don't like dirty talk. And had I known this was gonna happen, I would have shaved my legs this morning."

Robbie nodded and stated, "My chin is ticklish. I sneeze sometimes after I come. And if I'd have known this was gonna happen I wouldn't have shaved my legs this morning."

She smiled and nodded, "Okie Dokie."

He smirked, "I'm rubbing off on you." She blushed a little because that ended up being an innuendo he did not intend on making. He cleared his throat. "Oh! I keep my socks on… Intimacy issues."

"Great! Cause feet gross me out… Daddy issues."

"Great." Robbie said coming closer to her. "I can't believe we're doing this."

"Should we stop?" She said pulling away slightly, "We could just go for a run."

"No,no!" He said, "let's do this." He began to kiss her and lay her down on the bed. He kissed her lips and then made his way down to her neck. She moaned He was a good kisser. His hands roamed her body. Tweaking her breast expertly, her sex reacted to him instantly.

He continued on his journey down her body, and Jade stiffened. "God, Robbie! I just-"

"Relax! Just a friend, goin' down on another friend." He mumbled and continued intoxicated by her scent. He wanted to taste her badly. He breathed her in. Then began to work.

Jade's eyes shot open and she came up on her elbows. She looked down at the curly hair between her thighs, "Rob! What are you tryin' to do? Dig your way to China?"

He pulled away and looked up at her, "What? I'm good at this!" He answered indignantly.

"Says who?" She asked incredulously.

"Every girl I've been with!"

"Well, they're either lying or their vagina's are made out of burlap." She lay back down, "relax! You're not a lizard."

"Okay, fine." Robbie stated a little hurt. He swore he knew what he was doing in there. He relaxed, and began to just try to please her. There was no point in this arrangement if she wasn't pleased with it.

Jade exhaled, "A little to the right." She mumbled beginning to enjoy what he was doing.

"Okay." He said willing to oblige.

"And a little bit more to the left."

"Roger that!"

"Shut up! Now, go down."

"Here we go."

"And more..." She said really getting into it now. He lowered his tongue. "Whoa too far!"

"Sorry!" He stated, and then went back to doing what she had told him.

"SHUT UP!" She screamed as she hit the beginning of an orgasm.

"What's wrong?" Robbie asked in shock never having experienced that reaction before.

Jade moaned, "Nothing… nothing, nothing." She trembled at that.

"Well, women start to scream, it could be misconstrued!" Robbie said with concern."

"Just keep going!" She growls. He does as he is told and she feels her insides turn out and her toes curl. Damn, Robbie she thought as she took a moment to catch her breath.

When he came up to lie beside her he looked at her as though to make sure she was all right. She looked at him and pushed him onto his back and began her descent down his body. Robbie figured that he should return the favor, by telling her how he liked it, since she had done so for him. "See, most girls think you should start off soft. But if you just get in..." He couldn't finish. He didn't even get to say what he wanted. Jade knew what she was doing. "Go for it." His mind clouds over and it doesn't take long until he lets out a sneeze.

Jade pulled away and looked up at him and smiled.


Two days later at work

Robbie sat at his desk reading some script or another; he really didn't know what he was reading because he couldn't stop thinking about Jade. She hadn't come in to the studio, but really she didn't have to come in. There was a knock at his door and he looked up and there she was. She looked nervous. But he smiled shyly.

"Okay, so about what happened..." she started.

"It was crazy and we shouldn't have done it." He completed the sentence for her.

She nodded in agreement, "Exactly! No! No! Exactly!" She looked out of his window and shrugged. "It is so not me!"

"I totally agree." Robbie responded. "Lets forget it happened… I was gonna call you this morning." He lied.

Jade folded her arms n front of her not buying the lie. "But you didn't."

"But I didn't."

Jade sighed and flopped down on his couch. "See? It's already coming between us and I really...I just don't want it to."

"It's not going to." Robbie stated.

"Look, I know that I act all tough and I talk all tough, but really..."

"It's just a front to protect yourself from your own vulnerability." Robbie finished for her.

Jade rolled her eyes in annoyance. "What are you, my fucking therapist now?"

"No, I'm a friend." He said sitting next to her on the couch. "That knows that every time you curse, you blink. Like your body is rejecting the word."

She rolled her eyes again, "I do not! Fuck you!"

"Blinked." He said pointing a finger at her nose.

She smacked his hand away. "No, I didn't fucking blink."

"Blinked again!"

"Shit."

"Ah! Didn't blink! 'Shit' you're okay with." Robbie pointed out with a smirk. She smiled back at him. Whatever. "Look the whole thing… It was stupid."

"Yes."

"We're friends. Let's stay friends."

"Yes, please. I don't wanna lose this." She intoned.

"Me, neither."


At her apartment

They fall onto her bed a heavy make out session in progress. Their earlier resolve to stop the benefits part of their friendship failed. Their mutual attraction was way too strong. Robbie began to undress her and caught a glimpse of a tattoo on her waistline. "I didn't know you had a tattoo?"

"Yeah. A couple." She stated.

"Why didn't I notice that before?" He wondered.

"Because we were drunk." She answered and went back to kissing him.

On another occasion…

Both in the throws of passion, Jade closed her eyes and thought it didn't matter how many times they did this she would never tire of this. On a particular thrust, however, she found that she had a shooting pain from her knee to her ass and she yelled out. "Oh... my butt."

Robbie stopped and looked down at her. "What?"

"My Butt, my butt!" She screamed now.

"Really" Robbie asked excited to try something new.

Jade opened he eyes wider and shook her head. "No, you freak. My butt is cramping. Can you grab a pillow?" She said. He grabbed a pillow and placed it under her butt.

"So... there is no butt?" Robbie asked.

"NO."

"Just so you know, I'm not Gay." Robbie said.

"Shut up!" She moaned and moved beneath him.

On another occasion…

Jade sat astride him, her hips moving sensually. Robbie stared transfixed as she moved and the droplets of sweat glided down her body. The view was great, but he didn't particularly enjoy the position he was in. "So… you like this position?" He asked.

"yeah, it's alright." Jade responded.

"I gotta be honest, I feel a little emasculated."

Jade laughed and stopped moving for a moment, and leaned forward so her face was inches from his. "A naked girl is lying on top of you. And you feel emasculated?"

Robbie nodded. "Yeah, a little bit."

She pulled back away from him. "You, do know what that word means, right?"

"Yes! I know what it means, and I feel it."

"Okay." Jade said shifting her weight so that he could roll over on top of her. "Alright. You big baby!" He took his opportunity and began to move freely now. "Do you feel manly now?"

He smiled, "I do." Then he slammed into her, something that usually makes her gasp she likes it hard.

"Okay." She teased, "put it in." Robbie gave her a look then another hard slam. She gasped and laughed at him.

"That's not funny." Robbie begins to move faster and her laughter died down, and turned into pleased moans.

At his apartnment on another occasion…

Jade sits on his bed waiting for him to come out of the bathroom. "What's going on in there?" she asked growing impatient.

"Do you know how hard it is to pee with a hard on?" Robbie asked.

"Well that's a dumb ass question." Jade answered.

"It's like two lines of traffic merging into one." He stated and walked back into the bathroom. "It takes time."

Jade sighed, "whatever." And waits finally hearing the satisfying trickle of pee into the toilet. He flushes and walks back out of the bathroom. "Whoa, whoa." Jade said putting her arms out to stop him.

"What? Did I leak?" Robbie asked.

"Did you wash your hands?" Jade asked. Robbie looked at her and shrugged. She looked at him disgusted. "Oh! Come on, dude! I know we're just friends, but I'm still a lady! Now, get back in there, wash you hands. And then bring that fine ass back here."

Robbie looks at her indignantly. "You keep talking to me like that, I'm not gonna come back!"

Jade leaned back on to the headboard with a smirk. "Yeah you will" she murmured. He smirked back and ran into the bathroom and washed his hands.

Later…

Jade stood in front of Robbie's refrigerator naked. She grunts and slams the door shut. "At least I have food in the house. All you have at home is drinkable yogurt."

"I like to drink my yogurt! It's a time saver." Robbie said downing one of the little yogurt bottles.

Jade rounded on him with a smirk, "Oh!" She walked up to him seductively and placed her hand on the dark patch of hair between his legs. "Well, you think you could use that time to shave your shovel? Your whiskers are like knives."

Robbie laughed, "Now, see. If you were my girlfriend, I couldn't tell you to shut up right now."

She folded her hands in front of her. "Well… because your just my buddy, I can tell you that if you don't start shaving up here." She mumbled touching his face and the hairs of his chin, "I'm gonna stop shaving, down there." She points to her nether regions.

At Jade's apartment on yet another occasion…

Jade and Robby were really hot and heavy into it. The moans of pleasure filled the apartment as they neared their climax. They could have, if they really cared to listen, heard someone breaking into the apartment. She wasn't particularly quiet about it. Nor did she care that the person she came to see, seemed to be in the middle of something.

Joanne West walked into her daughter's room and watched as her daughter was slammed into by Robbie. "Oooh Jadey." She said and Jade froze. Both Jade and Robbie turned to her bedroom door.

"Mom?" Jade disengaged herself from Robbie and got up as fast as possible heading for her robe. "What are you doing here?"

"Can't a mom come visit her daughter?" She asked then turned to look at Robbie. "You never told me you had a hot boyfriend."

Jade threw Robbie a towel, as he just stood there stunned. A parent had never caught him before. "He's not my boyfriend, mom." Jade stated pulling her mother out of the room.

"Oh?"

"That's right." Robbie finally found his voice when he realized that the older woman had no intention of berating him for sleeping with her baby. "We're just friends."

"Why, I love it!" Joanne said delighted. "Ooh, it's like the seventies in here. Woo! That was a better time. Just sex. A little grass, a little glue." She stopped and looked at Jade, "Of course it was all over by the time I had you, but it was fun." Jade's mother had never settled down really she didn't have jade till she was older; she was in her thirties when Jade was born. But she drifted from man to man all the time. Joanne looked Robbie over and nodded her appreciation. "So, my daughter is just your slam piece?"

Robbie panicked; she looked serious now. "Uh… No! A slam piece?"

Joanne started to laugh. "I was just kiddin'! Slam away! Have fun. I think this is great. The only thing is, it takes you off the market." She turned to her daughter with a smile. "But, what the hell! The whole reason you go to the market is to buy the produce, which you already got." She looks back at Robbie and her eyes glide all over his body and rest on his crotch.

"MOM!" Jade warns.

"Uh…" Robbie stammers, and turns back into the room picking up his clothes. "you know what? I'm… I'm gonna go."


A few days later at the office

Robbie sat at his desk as Sikowitz peeked in. "hey Rob, what are you up to tonight?"

Robbie looked up from the script he was reading and smile. "I'm supposed to meet up with Jamie."

"What? The screenwriter?" Sikowitz asked.

"Uh-huh. "

"What, you guys going out now?"

"No, no, no, we're just friends." Robbie answered putting the script down and stretching. "We're... messing around a little bit."

"What do you mean?"

"Sleeping together. But its just sex."

Sikowitz brows shoot up his forehead. "That never works, bro. She's a girl. Sex always means more to them even if they don't admit it."

Robbie shakes his head, "No way, Jade's different. "

Sikowitz folded his arms in front of him and looked at Robbie seriously. "Oh really? Does she have a penis where most girls have a vagina?"

"No penis."

"Then she's no different."

Robbie sighed. "Sikowitz, we just wanted to make sure we could be friends. Dating and relationships only make things worst."

"What about love?"

"What about it."

"Dude, that's no better than using your friend like a toilet. If you wanted to do that, just go grab a hooker on the corner."

"So, it's always just about sex then?" Robbie asked.

"No. I've been in love. I went down that rabbit hole. You know what I discovered? It's not who you wanna spend Friday night with. It's whom you wanna spend all day Saturday with. Do you know what that feels like?" Sikowitz asked.

"Yeah. But then it's every Saturday for the rest of your life."

Sikowitz sighed, "That's okay. You don't get it. It's no big deal. But you will." The older man said and headed back toward the door. "One day, you'll meet someone and it'll literally take you breath away. Like, you can't breath. Like, no oxygen to the lungs. Like a fish..."

"Yeah. I...I get it, Sikowitz." Robbie said his eyes down cast.

The older man shook his head and headed out of the door with some final words. "No, You don't."

Same day at Jade's apartment

Joanne and Jade sat on Jade's couch together watching a movie. Joanne reached out and ran her fingers through her daughter's hair. She wondered if Jade was happy. She seemed happy, but if she didn't define the relationship she was in soon, she knew that Jade was gonna regret what she was doing with Robbie.

"I always thought you were a true love kind of girl." Joanne said softly.

Jade met her mother's gaze, "Why would you think that?" Jade asked. "I have never been one for lovey-dovey things and you know it."

"Yeah, but underneath you always wanted that prince charming."

"Ah...whatever, mom! It's not like it's stopping me from anything." Jade said going back to watching the television.

"That's what I thought back in seventy eight. And every year since. I'm just...I'm flattered actually. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree. It's just surprising." Joanne stated. Jade looked at her mother and was horrified that she would end up like her. Her affair had to end.


The next day at lunch

"Robbie, I think I want to start dating again." Jade said looking at Robbie's eyes. "I think we should stop this."

"Hmm." Robbie said thoughtfully. His conversation with Sikowitz, still weighing heavily on his mind. "I kinda think you're right."

Jade swallowed and looked up at him. "Am I?" Robbie nodded and they sat there silently. "So, this is the end of this?" Jade asked.

"I guess so…" He started, "But it's good." He swallowed hard.

Jade blinked and nodded looking away. "Yeah. We did it!"

Robbie nodded. "With no bullshit." He and Jade clasped hands, and ended the whole thing in a very business like manner…
