A/N:Okay so Friends With Benefits. Another movie fan fic. I'm loving this movie as I'm watching and typing down little notes for myself about the scenes and everything. I'm just in love with the actors' performances and the writing is damn good too. And Unfortunatley I don't own most of it(any of it) here.
DISCLAIMER- I DON'T OWN FWB, TT, GQ, or a fushigi. And I really want a fushigi lolz. Enjoy the prolouge!
"Alright guys. We can ditch a few of these pictures." Richard touched the screen and deleted some unnecessary photos from the web page's front site. Being the head art editor was pretty hard but at the same time, he got paid for doing what he did best and he enjoyed his work. As well as his friends.
"Okay that was a great idea for the page on sports Linda but,-" he started to give out her notes before his cell phone went off. 'During a meeting?' he wondered. He reached for his cell but knocked a cup of coffee over and made it spill on his pants. "Shit!" he hissed. He recovered and answered the phone. "Hello?"
With Rachel.
"Hey babe where are you? Are you still at work?" she asked irritated slightly. She knew her boyfriend had a tendency to put things off till the last minute.
With Richard
"Wha- no." he lied to his girlfriend. "Are you kidding me? I'm almost there." he said before turning the phone away from his mouth and turned to a guy sitting in the chair next to him. "Give me your pants."
"What?" he asked.
"I'll buy you lunch tomorrow." he offered.
"No way!"
"I'm your boss. Just give me your pants."
With Rachel
"Just to let you know the movie starts in ten minutes." she said still walking.
With Richard
"I know. I know." the guy was taking off his pants and he revealed to the entire office that he never wore underwear. Richard turned to the other guy next to him who was already taking off his belt. With a very quick change and a jump in the car he was off to see his girlfriend.
With Rachel
"Okay well I'm here."
With Richard
"Me too. I'm walking right now. I think I see you. There are so many people. What are you wearing?" he said looking for a place to park.
With Rachel
"I'm wearing the only clothes outside the theater. Because I'm the only one outside the theater." she rubbed the bridge of her nose.
With Richard
"I've always loved that outfit on you. You look so sexy in it." he tried to kiss up.
With Rachel
"You know I love this movie. I mean if a hooker and a rich business man can fall in love, then anyone can."
With Richard
"Yes. I know how important it is to you. So its important to me too." he ran down the sidewalk.
With Rachel
"Apparently it doesn't." she sighed
With Richard
"I see you. I'm coming right now." he hung up the phone and wrapped his arms around Catalina from behind.
With Rachel
"Rachel!" she heard her name being called and she turned around to see Jason.
"Hey." he gave her a quick kiss. "Sorry I'm late."
"It's fine I guess." she said. Before pulling two sandwiches out of her bag. "I got us sandwiches for the movie. Plain Turkey on Rye for you." she handed it to Jason and started walking towards the theater entrance before she realized he wasn't following.
"What's up?"
"We need to talk." he said point blank.
"I think we should take a break." Catalina said.
"Your serious right now?" Richard asked.
"I just think we need to chill for a while." Jason told her.
"Your doing this? Right now?" Rachel asked calmly.
"You're really breaking up with me for being late and missing one John Mayer song?"
"You said I was your soul mate."
"I did? When?" he looked confused.
"When we were at that bed and breakfast together, having sex." she whispered in disbelief.
"That doesn't really-"
"Doesn't really what?"
"Count." he scratched the back of his head as Rachel smacked the sandwich into the street.
"I got tied up at work. I'm sorry!"
"Have you ever considered that you should focus less on your job and more on your girlfriend? Because I'm pretty sure there's one that will assure you that just because when we have sex and you like a finger near a certain place, doesn't mean your gay. While the other one doesn't."
"It's not like I asked you to go up in there! I just said around. There's a certain area there. Like a button." he tried to explain while she just held her head in her hands. "Nevermind. It's not your problem anymore."
"So is that why you were late? You were figuring out how to dump me?"
"No actually. I just couldn't figure out what to wear."
"So you went with a hoodie and sneakers? Are you taking SAT prep after this or something!" she lashed out.
"Don't lash out. You're better than that Rachel."
"No. I'm really not." she continued.
"You know what thank you. For doing this before that concert." he said. "You saved me so much more misery."
Catalina just rolled her eyes.
"Can I at least ask why?" Rachel leaned against a wall.
"Sure. Well you seem like you've got it all together but your emotionally damaged. And your eyes are purple, and you refuse to get contacts. That's always really freaked me out."
"Okay." she held out her hand to stop him.
"It's not you. It's me."
"You don't get to say that though. You're the one dumping me." Richard said still pissed
"But its true. It's not you! It's me. I don't like you anymore!" she emphasized. "You're a great guy. A little bit too emotionally unavailable, if you ask me-"
"Yeah I didn't." he said narrowing his eyes.
"I still want to be friends. Okay?"
"Yeah sure." he agreed as she ran into the concert.
"I'd like to be friends." Jason asked.
"Whatever." Rachel agreed as she walked away and called Karen. When she arrived they got a coffee and started talking.
"I've got to stop buying into these bullshit Hollywood happy endings." They passed by posters of romantic comedies and Rachel screamed at one of them. "Shut up Katherine Heigl. You stupid liar." Karen just laughed as they continued walking.
"You know what." Richard said to his brother Tim. "I'm just going to have sex and work. I'm done with relationships. Like George Clooney."
"I'm going to start focusing on my profession. Like... like George Clooney." Rachel decided.
A/N: This is the prologue. I'm super excited to be able to finish this before school starts again. I can't believe its August. Any ways. There it was. Oh how wonderful this was to write. It really was awesome to write. Read and Review! Thanx
Much Love and Respect
