A/N I have decided to take this chapter to slightly different route, than I originally planned for. It was a fault of one of my twitter buddies. I am sure she will know once she reads it. Perfection it may not be but I do hope you enjoy.

Please all embrace the slight misdirection. Do let me know what your thoughts are!

Chapter 9

He slowly sat on the stool, steadily placed guitar on his lap. It took him few minutes to adjust the strings.

Ed lifted his eyes, scanning the room. His heart wasn't here with him; it was beating but just about.

"Go Ed! Go Ed! Whooo hooo!" – Chase yelled out and room filled with laughter. Ed smirked. Typical, he thought.

He took a deep breath and smooth voice escaped :

"If you're standing with your suitcase
but you can't step on the train
everything's the way that you left it I still haven't slept yet…"

He looked through the audience, petite figure stood awkwardly at the very back of the room. For a second, just one second, his heart skipped a beat.

"And if you're covering your face now
But you just can't hide the pain
Still setting two plates on the counter but eating without you…"

He felt her burning gaze and could barely hold his hands still. She was here. She came..

"If the truth is you're a liar
When you say that you're okay
I'm sleeping on your side of the bed going out of my head now…

His glaze slid to the man standing aside of Leighton, tightly holding her waist.

"And if you're out there trying to move on
But something pulls you back again
I'm sitting here trying to persuade you like you're in the same room"

Their eyes met. Sad smile played on her lips. The same lips he kissed - same lips he cherished - same lips which spelled out "we are over".

"But even if wishing is a waste of time
Even if I never cross your mind"

He couldn't bear looking at her any longer. And him. .

"If you ever come back, if you ever come back now
Oh if you ever come back, if you ever come back"

The woman he treasured, adored, l.o.v.e.d… she ripped his heart and stomped all over. She chose to move on past him.

"There'll be a smile on my face and the kettle on
And it will be just like you were never gone
There'll be a light in the hall and a key under the mat"

Ed closed his eyes, he wasn't ready for tears to come out. He would not give Aaron that satisfaction.

"And by leaving my door open
I'm risking everything I own
there's nothing I can lose in the break in that you haven't taken…"

He struck the last notes and she was gone.

"Ed, you basstard, that was awesome!" - Chace hugged him tightly. They both knew whom this song was dedicated, but no words been exchanged between the two men. No words were needed.

"Let's go grab a beer. Maybe we will get lucky, with your obnoxious bitch face, and get entertained for the night" Ed sniggered. "And morning..." - Chace winked.

"I am not so sure if I need that kind of entertainment."

"Please! Stop mourning and let's go have fun. Just forget. Move on. Expectation is the root of all heartache."

"Shakespeare? Who are you banging? And what's with all the inspirational quotes?" – Ed teased - "So wise so young, they say do never live long."

"Come on man! Go out, paint the town red! Say yes to everything once!" – Both men broke out in laughter.

"Sure, but I'm not bringing anyone to my flat tonight"

"Don't make me laugh; you know my place is at your disposal. Besides ", - Chace continued - "Chicks dig Wall Street better than Brooklyn!"


The night had started out well, fun times in a few clubs, but had soon degenerated into drinking shots and slumping in the corner of some high end sleazy nightclub, chatting up some random girls.

Ed was about to leave the club, but decided to have one last drink. He stood at the bar and observed the action in the room.

He was getting tired of the club scene. It never changed, all the women were still the same and not very interesting to him anymore.

"Chace, I told you...This is stupid" - Ed was ready to call it quits at this hour.

"Hey man! Don't be spoiled sport! Look at the table on your left" Chace nodded. Just as he was turning to leave Chace diverted his attention to petite girl sitting alone. "I am telling you bro, get laid, fuck your pain away..."

"I acknowledge, she is ok..."

"She's better than ok – she is slim, olive skin, dark long hair. I thought that's what you like." - slurred Chace. - "When was the last time you had sex?"

"Oh, no you don't. You're not going to do that to me." - Ed laughed downing yet another shot.

"She's been mentally undressing you all night."

She looked to be just about danced out, but Ed was kind of drawn to her. She looked a bit like...Like her... Oh what the hell, he thought.

She saw him approaching and sat up straight.

"Hi beautiful, would you like to dance. If you are not too tired?" - Ed asked in his most seductive voice.

"How could I say no to a man as handsome as you?" - girl smiled as she stood and was lead to the dance floor by Ed.

The music was pumping to a lively fast dance mix and the dance floor was alive with energy and movement. Bodies pressed tightly together, bumping and grinding.

Hot and sweaty bodies that filled the air with a heavy seductive fragrance moved together and individually, and all to the steady beat of the music.

Finding a place for them, Ed turned and faced petite brunette and began moving to the music.

Ed put his hands around her waist and pulled tiny body closer to his.

"Hi." - He said against girl's ear. -"I am Ed."

"Hi Ed. I am Agustina, and I want you to know you can really dance." - She replied showing off her best dazzling smile.

"Thanks if that is meant to be a compliment. You are not too bad yourself." - He said watching the movement of her hips. He pulled her body to his and pressed his face against her neck.

Agustina teased playfully while running her hands the length of his back, down his ass, where she paused and gently pulled his hips forward to grind into her pelvis.

"Mmmm...You like this, huh?" - She asked before, rotating in his tight embrace, turning her back to him and letting him feel her best bounce.

She was grinding it back against his now very apparent hard-on, teasing and encouraging him. Jeez this girl was quick to oblige.

"Babe, you keep moving that ass like that and I might have to spank it for you."

"Mmm, I like getting spanked." - Agustina said before dancing a few steps away from him. She used her best moves on Ed and he knew it.

She wiggled and undulated around the spot they occupied. She let him observe her body, wondering about the pleasures it would bring.

"What do you do, for a living?" - He asked Agustina, pulling her close again.

"I am a fourth grade teacher, and yourself?"

"I work for a network. I'm an actor." - Small talk was the last thing on Ed's mind, but he could not think of a good way to say, 'I want to fuck you.'

Reaching out he pulled Agustina close to him and pressed his hardness against her stomach. "Feel that don't you? Do you realize you are the hottest woman in here?"

"Can we get a drink and go outside on the balcony?" - Agustina asked. She proceeded to the terrace for some fresh air while Ed went to the bar for drinks.

"What are we going to do?" - He asked in his please don't say no now voice, while handing her a drink. Agustina half emptied the glass in a matter of seconds. Ed saw she was a little bit apprehensive. But nothing actor charms won't conquer. After all he got his reputation for a reason.

He decided to treat this as game, a victory he shall have.

This was the time to forget, and he most duly going to comply with it!

"Darling, you make that drink look good." - Ed said stepping closer to her. This was too easy.

Ed took the glass from her hand and pulled her into the shadow of the terrace. His hands roamed her body freely, loving the tight firmness of it. He ran his hands over her stomach and up to her breast.

Agustina stepped in closer to his attentions. He ran his hands down her torso and easily underneath the short skirt she wore. With nothing underneath but a thong she heard his breath catch in his throat as he palmed her bare ass.

He covered her face and neck with hot wet kisses as his fingers explored the hot wetness between her legs.

Ed fumbled with his pants until he was free. Guiding her hands, he placed them on the silky smooth hardness began pumping in and out of her hands.

"Fuck me Ed. Please fuck me hard and deep."

He pressed her back against the wall and lifted her body with her thighs draped across his arms. Agustina flexed causing her hips to tilt forward giving Ed better and easier access. She kissed him back, running her tongue deep into his mouth.

Barely able to control his actions, Ed thrust his hips forward. She shivered and cried out against his forceful entry. Her arms wrapped tightly around his neck while he moved slow and deep inside of her.

He worked his hips slow and grinding deep and hard into her stomach. She whimpered and cried out each time he pushed into her. Gripping her ass in his palms he increased his tempo he pumped into her body with abandon.

She covered his face, ears, neck with small kisses and nibbles. Her nails dug into the tender skin of his back.

But it wasn't Leigh's nails marking him..

Each time he angrily drove deep into her he felt her muscles convulse. By the way she was moving and moaning he knew that she was close to cumming.

Ed was gripping her ass tightly, slamming into her; he was totally oblivious to the party going on. His body urged him on.

Girl was screaming and fighting against the force he was using to fuck her. She asked to be fucked and he was more than happy to oblige.

Feeling the pull and press of her orgasmic state, Ed was unable to restrain himself any longer. He groaned loudly and it was over.

They both were left panting..She looked up into Ed's face and met his eyes. He seemed to be looking at her without seeing her.

"Thanks for the night" - Ed said, grabbed his drink and disappeared into the bustling club.


How stupid did he have to be? Did he think that girl who resembled Leigh will be enough to drown his sorrow, to mask the pain?

Why on earth did he listen to Chace? And taking advantage of the girl? Although she was happy to coerce, it wasn't his kind of scene.

He wasn't "fuck you once" kind of guy. He needed closeness, commitment...

For tonight his body was satisfied, but his soul was not even closely sated.

Chace was wrong – no one could make him forget. Ed took out his phone, quickly typed the message

SKYPE PRIVATE MESSAGE

Sender: CallMeBritish

I know it makes no sense but what else can I do. I know I have to move on. You spelled it out to be. But how can I move on when I'm still in love with you.

If you wake up tomorrow and find that you are still missing me, and your heart starts to wonder where on earth I could be. If you decide not to leave for Brazil...

Maybe you will come back to the place that we met for the first time. You will find me waiting at the entrance of the street.

If you change your mind hope this will be the first place you will go.
