Laura heard her phone buzz.
It read; I'm back in town.
She new what that meant. What it always meant. Why did she always go crawling back to him? She never knew. Something always felt right with him even during their complicated relationship. He left over a year ago to pursue his dreams and escape reality. She was left feeling rejected and alone. She dated around to find a replacement but no one struck her fancy. Laura felt numb when she dressed herself. It was late and she just threw on some sweats. She grabbed her things and darted out the door. She was met with a brisk cool that chilled her slightly. She turned on her car and off she went.
The drive was short, he only lived around the corner. It was a convenient relationship due to their proximity. She turned off the car and sat there for a moment. Why was she so drawn to him, easily manipulated and played? She shook it off and went inside. The door was left unlocked and she just walked on in like countless times before. She was met with him sitting on his couch playing a video game like countless times before. She took her spot next to him and made herself at home. He hadn't changed minus his hair cut. He had a well muscled body, something he maintained regularly at the gym. He was tall, with light brown hair and piercing blue eyes outlined in thick eye lashes. He was everything she found attractive in a man, strong, dominating but kind. She would do anything he told her to do and he knew it.
"How have you been?" asked Joe, pausing the game to look at her. He took in her form. She lost some weight since last time, she looked more toned. It caused his cock to stir. Her hair was tied loosely and some strands fell out. She threw on some sweats and a shirt and hoodie which was left open. She didn't wear a bra and that excited him. She had dark brown hair that she died lighter, something he didn't approve of. He loved her natural hair color and the shine it had. She had brown almond eyes that eyed him curiously.
"Surviving." Laura admitted.
"Come here." Joe demanded softly. He held his hand out. Laura didn't move. Joe's smile turned to a disappointing scowl. "You know I'll just make you anyways." Laura knew that and crawled over to him willingly. Joe's smile returned. She rested her head on his chest and he wrapped his arm loosely around her. He danced his fingers over her body and it caused her to shiver.
"Why are you back in town?" asked Laura.
"Because I can be." Joe said vaguely. Laura looked up at him and shot him a look. She could always get him to talk. "I don't know what I'm doing with my life. Everyone I meet is stupid. I just want to have amazing sex, fall in love and be done with it all."
"Don't we all." Laura chuckled.
"Will you sleep with me?" asked Joe.
"Of course I will, you know that."
"No, I mean sleep in the actual sense, just in my arms, all night." said Joe. Laura was surprised, she thought he just wanted his rocks off tonight.
"You know I will." said Laura.
"See! That's all I want!" Joe exclaimed. Laura moved back and glared at him.
"So I'm just some back up plan? Come to me when the world butt fucks you?" Laura said heatedly.
"What? What are you talking about? You've been the main plan ever since I met you." Joe admitted.
"What?" Laura said in disbelief. "What do you mean the main plan?"
"Nothing. It doesn't matter. You keep putting out for strangers." Joe retorted.
"You've slept with twice as many people as I have. I don't want to hear it." Laura barked.
"Oh yeah? Maybe I have but then why did I stop sleeping around the moment I met you?"
"You did?" Laura said surprised.
"Pft. You didn't even notice. Too busy playing your boy toys." He had her there. She never noticed he stopped sleeping around and she was always observant. Why?
"I wasn't going to wait around and pine away for you. I wanted to go steady, I tried to push you in that direction. You never showed any hint of wanting that. You flat out told me you didn't want that. Eventually I accepted we were just fuck buddies." Laura rose, she really didn't like the new direction their talk was going. He hurt her, she didn't want to relive it. She made her way for the door when Joe grabbed her arm and yanked her back. She fell into his strong arms and chest, her own arms trapped in his firm embrace. His expression was strained, he looked angry, hurt and disappointed all at the same time.
"I never pursued it because you would just come in, get off and go. It was pretty sad Laura."
"I did that because I assumed that's what you wanted!" Laura said angrily. All those feelings she successfully buried were bubbling to the surface again. He pressed his forehead to hers, his eyes closed, calming his breathing. He relaxed his grip. Laura slipped out of his hold, grabbed her keys and left. She could feel his eyes boring into her back, burning into her. But she remained strong and kept up her pace to her car.
The cool air hit her like sweet relief. It was getting pretty heated back there. She slipped into her car and sat there reflecting. What the hell just happened? Her head fell back on the head rest. She banged her head on it softly. "Shit, Shit, Shit!" Laura exclaimed. She finally calmed down enough to drive home. She cranked up the a.c. to keep her sanity in check. The cool air was a rough contrast to her warm cheeks. Laura pulled into her driveway and finally relaxed. She let herself in and flopped on her bed, her arm covering her eyes.
Her phone did it's little ring to alert her of an update. Joe just went from single to in a relationship! That son of a bitch! He didn't even wait a day to hop on the next bitch that came along! Laura was fuming. She threw her phone and silently thanked it landed in her reading chair. She angrily paced her floor. She stalked over to where her phone was and texted her best friend. She needed a wild night out to forget him and that's exactly what she intended to do.

Ding-Dong.
"I'm coming!" Laura shouted.
*Knock Knock Knock* Ding-Dong!
"Shit! I said I'm coming!" Laura bellowed. She ran to her door and opened it. There was her best friend Mary, dressed and ready to go. Mary was an attractive girl, she knew how to have a good time but she also had a level head. It was probably why they were such good friends. Tonight Mary was dressed in a body hugging red dress. It was ruched all over with thin spaghetti straps that strained to keep her perky dd's up. Accentuated with black pumps, gold jewelry and thick eyeliner to surround her big brown eyes, Mary looked like a dime. Her wavy brown hair flowed to the small of her back which accentuated her curvy figure. She wasn't thin but she wasn't heavy either.
Proud of her friend's ability to clean up they trotted out the door and ready to go.
"So, I have a surprise for you!" Mary said excitedly in the cab. They were headed over to the cities hottest club.
"Oh god, what is it. " Laura said dreadfully.
