From the apparent light that shined even with his eyes closed, he could tell that morning was here and that he yet again was not ready to face yet another day of long hard work. Rolling over on to his side he extended his arm expecting to feel a warm body next to him but to his surprise the space beside him was empty. Slowly propping himself up in bed he could soon hear the sound of someone in the bathroom brushing their teeth. A slight smile came to his face when realizing that by the look of the time that she was yet again late for work. Rushing out of the restroom the brunette was dressed in none other than her under garments that seduced him in the first place.

"Your still here? Don't you have to get down to the restaurant?" Brooke asked

"Good morning to you as well. Today is my day off" Jake smiled

"Today?" Brooke asked

"Yeah" Jake smiled "So you want to do something today maybe on your lunch break…" he began to say before she cut him off

"I'm all ready late as is, I doubt that I want to even dare bring up lunch to Liz" Brooke said

"You become chicken shit when it comes to her, why is that?" Jake asked

"Chicken shit. I have you know that I become chicken shit because she is still my boss" Brooke said "You'd know that if you actually kept a job" she replied

"Okay, okay hold back the claws. I was just asking a simple question" Jake said

"Jake, seriously. Must you just lounge in my bed. Don't you have to pick Jenny up or something?" Brooke asked

"Fine. I will go but only because I do have to pick Jenny up" Jake said he got out of bed "But if you want we can do another quickie before I have to leave" he laughed

"Girls can beg but when guys are horny its really sickening" Brooke said as she grabbed her skirt and left the room

The Lady Pink line had become Liz's Claire biggest sensation in the market of fashion compared to big designers such as Armani. Created by her fresh and hip new partners, Brooke and Reese latched onto a big money crop. Although Brooke and Reese owned the Lady Pink line it was Liz Claire who funded the project. Liz's reputation around the office could make anyone who worked for her quiver as she was known for being the modern day Cruella Deville of the fashion industry.

"Where were you last night? I had been calling you all night to tell you to get your ass here on time" Reese whispered

"Sorry. I went out" Brooke said

"Please tell me you didn't go to the bar where Jake works at?" Reese asked

"What!? Yes. I did" Brooke sighed

"This weird thing you have with him needs to stop. He's so…..average" Reese said

"I do like average guys, you know" Brooke informed her friend

"I know and that's the tragedy. But having a physical relationship with him is sickening" Reese added

"Hey a girls got to get her kicks somewhere' Brooke grinned

"Your sick" Reese laughed

"Its just sex. Jake and I know that. Its not a relationship" Brooke explained

"So its like booty calls. He calls when he wants it and then you call when you want it?" Reese asked

"God no. I call and if it's a holiday then its automatic" Brooke said

"I swear your close to becoming a hoe each time we talk" Reese laughed just as Liz walked into the room

"Miss. Davis and Miss. Barnes nice that you can show up today' Liz said as she grabbed a seat at the head of the conference table

"Sorry about earlier, I ran into traffic. You know how Los Angeles is known for that" Brooke explained

"I like your designs not your excuses" Liz replied "Ben Krutzsky is a major designer in New York. More like an up and coming whose caught a lot of attention. He is interested in joining forces with one of the heavy hitters in the game and we at Liz Claire designs are among the possible" she informed

"That's great news. We can give out our ideas to promote your line' Reese said

"As much as I appreciate that, the Claire line doesn't need his funky teen aspect to it. Ben Krutzsky is interested in the Lady Pink line" Liz Claire said

"Oh my God. That's great" Brooke praised

"Glad to hear it. He is a big account and both our lines could use his name on our reference sheet. So make him happy, do whatever it takes because he is looking to shell out big money. I have arranged a dinner meeting for the two of you, so I hope that you both turn up the charm and land him. Hell sleep with him if you have to but get me his account" Liz stated before she got up to leave

Grabbing a seat at the bar after finishing up a set , Jake joined the boys in a round of beer. On the television he could hear the news of arrival of Ben Krutzsky to Los Angeles. Not too thrilled with the news he turned his attention away.

"Well looks like cousin is coming into town" Jake said

"Benny. It'd be nice to see him again" Patrick smiled

"You don't even know him" Jake said

"I do. I know him through the picture yours grandma passes around at Thanksgiving" Patrick smiled

"He's probably some bad news to tell the family. That's the only time he comes into town. Last time he revealed to my grandma that he had a child out of wedlock" Jake said

"Ben Krutzsky having a child. Never saw that coming. With the supermodel?" Jimmy asked

"No" Jake winked

"Juicy" Patrick laughed "Where is your supermodel girlfriend?" he asked

"She's at work" Jake informed

"Why do you continue on with the charade that you two are together?" Jimmy asked

"We are" Jake said

"No, your not. She's using you" Jimmy said

"Okay, okay. Whatever. I'll see you guys tomorrow. I have to get home to my daughter" Jake laughed as he threw down his money next to his mug before walking off

"I still don't think he's dating the supermodel" Jimmy said

Jake had barely even made it outside of the bar before his cell phone began to ring. Reaching into his pocket he slowly opened the phone to find that it was Brooke calling for him. A part of him wanted to ignore it but the urge inside of him loved having her just the way he wanted her. Brooke may have appeared to not really be into him but somehow he felt that deep inside she was just scared. That reasoning alone kept him coming back for more and in this case he loved it in some way.

"Hello" Jake answered

"Where are you?" Brooke asked

"I'm leaving the bar. Why?" Jake asked

"I want to celebrate and you're the only one I can think of" Brooke said

"Doubt that. Where are you?" Jake reluctantly asked

"In your car" Brooke said before she hung up

Slowly walking over to his car he could see the brunette waiting for him still dressed in her work attire. Standing looking in from the passengers side he took a deep sigh before he walked over to the drivers side to get in. He sat gripping onto the wheel thinking to himself if he wanted to do this again but then he glanced over at her long sensual legs that contained her sexy black heels and he went insane. He couldn't drive fast enough over to her place as the want was driving him insane. By the time they entered into the loft they were practically shoving each others tongue down their throats.As soon as she closed the door he pinned her up against the door. A slight smile came to her face as she loved how he took charge. His eyes read her body as if he was mapping out what he was going to do to her in his mind.

Brooke stepped out of the shower to find Jake buckling up belt before he searched for his shirt afterwards. She walked over to the dresser before she began to brush her wet hair. Looking over at her he could tell that she was finally relaxed after washing herself of him.

"You said you wanted to celebrate. What for?" Jake asked

"I had a good day at work is all. Nothing you'd care about" Brooke said

"Oh. Well I'll see you around" Jake said grabbing his car keys

"Sure" Brooke said before she walked out of the room
