I woke up in the late afternoon and Ezra was gone, he had left a note:

Baby,

Had to go to work. Don't worry about cleaning or making the bed, I have a cleaning lady come around two pm. Don't feel rushed to leave, spend as much time as you'd like.

Xoxo E

I smiled and got up, putting my clothes on. I leashed up Zeus and Ezra had left a key on the counter. I took him out for a walk and checked my phone, and there were a few messages, nothing exciting. I went back inside, dropping off Zeus.

I changed at my place and took a taxi over to Elliot's. I got upstairs and the door was unlocked.

"Elliot?" Shit! Shayla was laying in his bed, butt ass naked. I got outside, nearly running into Elliot.

"Maisy, what happened?" He asked. He looked exhausted.

"I walked into your place and Shayla was there, naked. Sorry!" I looked down at my shoes.

"Fuck. She's supposed to be gone." He mumbled.

"Did everything go ok last night?" I studied his face.

I felt hurt, which I know is extremely stupid. Especially after what I did last night. I guess I liked Elliot more than I had thought.

"Yeah. I actually had to fly to Dallas with my boss. Our whole system was being hacked. It was a shit show." He sat down on the stairs as I joined him.

"Well, I'm sure you saved the day?" I raised my eyebrows up and down as he rubbed his arm.

"No. It was a team effort."

"You're too modest, Elliot." I looked over at him as saw Angela coming our way.

"Oh no." I whispered.

"Hey guys!" She smiled awkwardly.

"Hey." Elliot said.

"What are you guys up to?"

"Just talking, nothing more. I promise." I said.

"And if it makes the situation any better, we've only been talking for like five minutes." She chuckled.

"Ok, ok. You got me. You guys want to watch a movie and smoke some weed?"

"That sounds amazing!" I stood up.

"We can go to my place since there's a naked chick in Elliot's bed?" Angela looked shock as Elliot opened his mouth to explain himself.

"Sure, I'd love to see your place."

"This is beautiful!" Angela said in awe.

"Thanks." I smiled as I watched Elliot look around.

"What kind of dancing do you do?" She asked.

"Just night classes….to make women feel more empowered."

"I need to get into that business!"

"Let me grab some drinks and snacks!" I went into the kitchen and grabbed a few things and we sat down, watching Back to the Future Two and all got high off our asses. Laughing at every little thing.

I laid on the chaise and Elliot rested his head on my lap as I played with his hair.

"Ok, you guys are pretty cute!" Angela leaned back, looking at us as we both laughed. After the movie was over Angela had to head out, due to work, leaving Elliot and I alone.

"What do you really do?" He whispered.

"I'm a stripper. Don't tell Angela, please." He looked up at the ceiling.

"That's not bad. Do you like it, are you happy?" I stroked his hair.

"Yeah. I do want to go to college though."

"Go for it." He sat up, looking at me dead serious.

"You know what, I will." I bit on my thumbnail.

"What would you go for?" He looked up at me, man was he adorable.

"Art major. I'm alright at sketching and absolutely love painting. Want to see my studio?" He nodded his head and we got up.

The weed was starting to wear off, but it was just nice talking with Elliot. We walked into the small space and I started feeling nervous.

"Wow." He said amazed, looking around.

"You like it?" I asked.

"I love it. This is wonderful, Maisy. You have some serious talent." He looked straight at me.

"I'm serious."

"Thanks. You know, you're the first person I've shown this to." I looked at him with my hands behind my back, swaying back and forth.

"You have to show more people. You're great at painting animal portraits." He admired a few pieces, his eyes sparkling. I had never seen him that way before.

He looked out the window, his demeanor totally changing.

"What's wrong, El?"

"Do you see him? He's been following me." I saw a few people walking by.

"Who?"

"That one wearing the hat, he kind of looks homeless." He pointed.

"I have to go. I'll see you later." He threw his hoodie up and rushed out.

"Wait, Elliot!" He walked past Ezra.

"Woah!" He said leaning against the wall to let him by.

"Wait!" I rushed down the stairs and he had already disappeared. What the literal fuck? Is he seeing things? I grabbed my phone, trying to call him but it went straight to voicemail.

I went back inside.

"Everything ok, doll?" Ezra asked.

"Yeah. Just worried about my friend. He's been acting a little off, sorry, I shouldn't be bothering you about this." I walked into my place and began to shut the door but he stopped me.

"I wouldn't have asked if you were ok if I didn't care." He looked at me with his dark brown eyes and looked genuine.

"If you need to talk about it, let me know baby." He stroked my face and placed a kiss in my forehead.

"Thank you."

"Maybe I'll see you tonight?" He raised his eyebrows up.

"We'll see." I cleaned up my place and took a quick shower.

I put on a mocha and black bralette that was shear and had bows where my nipples were with a matching, crotch less G-string. There was a knock at my door.

"Just a minute!" I put on a robe and it was Ezra, holding my underwear.

"Thank you!" I said, blushing.

"What's on under that robe?" He asked.

"Want a quick sneak peek?" I pulled him into my place by his tie.

"Fuck yes, I do!" He growled. I pushed him on my couch and dropped my robe.

"God fucking dammit!" He rubbed his hands.

"You like it?" I spun in a circle.

"Fuck yes I do!" I straddled him and he tossed me back on the couch, causing me to giggle.

"These are crotch less? Man, those fuckers are going to get a show tonight." He buried his face into my neck, his beard tickling it.

"And these bows. It's like fucking Christmas!" He undid one and I could feel how hard he was as he leaned into me.

He kissed me softly as I unbuckled his belt and pulled his pants half way down, pulling his dick out of his briefs and slipping it into my mound.

"Mmmm, baby!" He panted in my ear as I gasped. He rhythmically pumped in and out, and each time it'd get more intense.

"Go faster!" I begged as I tore his shirt off, causing a button to fall off.

"Sorry!" I said through a groan.

"It's ok, doll, it's for a real good fucking reason." He thrusted into me deeply as I came to climax, he pulled out, coming all over my stomach. He kissed me and got up, pulling his pants up.

"Paper towels?" He asked.

"Kitchen!" I said, still in a dreamy state. He wiped my stomach as I came back to reality.

"I could have done that." I looked at him.

"I mean, technically it is my mess." He sat next to me and there was a rapid knock on my door.

I put my robe on, opening it.

"Angela, what is it?" She looked frantic.

"I can't find my fucking phone! Did I leave it here?" She busted in, surprised by Ezra.

"Sorry! I didn't mean to interrupt." She said, embarrassed.

"It's ok, we were just about finished." Ezra devilishly grinned at me.

"See ya around, baby." He kissed my lips and walked out.

"Wow, he is good looking, Maisy!" She watched him as he walked away.

"We're just hooking up…here it is!" I dug it out of the cushions.

"Thank you! And sorry if I ruined your guys' moment. Bye!"

I quickly did my makeup and through on some baggy jeans, vans and a large sweater. I got to work and put a blonde wig on this time and did my thing. I had made even more than before, I smiled as I counted and said my good byes. Ezra was waiting outside, leaning on his car. It reminded me of an 80's rom-com, I smiled.

"Hungry?" He asked.

"Starving!"

"I'll take you to my favorite burger joint, baby." I got in and he began driving, interlacing his fingers with mine. Did he take this more serious than me? Maybe.

We pulled up at a drive in food joint and ordered.

"How was tonight?" He asked as I sipped on a milkshake.

"Good. There's a lot less creeps here and the money is a whole lot better. You know yesterday this guy paid me fifteen hundred dollars to give him a lap dance, I mean how ridiculous is that?" I said as our food was handed to us. He chuckled shaking his head.

"I mean it was technically worth it." He shrugged his shoulders. I bit into the burger.

"Oh my God! It's like an orgasm in my mouth!" He laughed.

"I told ya you'd like it. Fuck, I love a girl who can eat."

"That's me, for sure." I smiled over at him, my cheeks stuffed full like a hamster.

"So, are you close with your family?" Oh no. He did want more than sex out of this relationship. My heart dropped.

"Yes. My parents are divorced, but we're pretty close. I have an older brother who's in the marines and we talk every once in a while."

"Do they know what you do?" I shook my head.

"It'd probably give them a heart attack. My dad is a dentist and my mom is a micro biologist. I'm the odd one in my family." I ate a fry as I watched a few people.

"Wow. So a family of geniuses then?"

"I guess you could say so. How about you?"

"I'm not close with my family at all. I don't even know if my parents are alive anymore. I have a younger brother, but we don't talk much and it was a shit childhood full of alcohol, abuse and drugs." He looked down at his burger, like he had lost his appetite.

"I'm sorry." I placed my hand on his knee.

"It made me a better person, I guess? Having my own company, being successful, traveling all over the world and making my own schedule."

"That's great, Ezra. What do you do?" I finished up my milkshake and placed it in my bag.

"I invented these high tech blood machines for animal practices with one of my friends. It took off pretty fast." He said nonchalantly.

"Speaking of geniuses." I elbowed him, causing him to smile.

"Have you ever been married?"

"No. When I first became successful, I fucked around a lot. Since I'm getting older though I'm considering settling down." I nodded my head.

"I've been married a few times. Have a few kids here and there." I said matter of fact as he looked over at me in disbelief. I busted out laughing.

"I'm kidding, I'm kidding, you should have seen your face." I giggled and began to hiccup.

"Oh no!"

"That's what you get for teasing me, baby." He looked at me from the corner of his eye, smirking. I punched his shoulder.

"Hey, no need to be rough!" He teased me.

"Oh shit, I'm supposed to be fucking another girl right now!" He looked at his watch.

"What? Are you-"

"No more hiccups, see? In a way I'm kind of a fucking doctor."

"You saved my life, how will I ever repay you?" I batted my eyelashes at him.

"Stay at my place tonight?" His voice turned serious.

"Ok." I said without hesitation as I grabbed his hand, smiling at him.

"Let's go then, doll."

I showered and blow dried my hair and walked out naked to join Ezra in bed.

"Shit, you're sleeping naked? You're taking a risk, young lady."

"What can I say, I like to live life dangerously…as do you I see." I laid next to him as our lips collided, his hands exploring my body. This whole thing had already gone too far, I thought that our relationship would be based off of sex but it seemed to be turning boyfriend and girlfriend, which wasn't really what I wanted.

I rubbed his shaft between the lips of my mound, teasing him as he growled in frustration.

"I'm going to come if you keep going on like this, baby!" He arched his back as I grabbed his shaft and opened my mouth, my phone started ringing loudly.

"Shit!" I said grabbing for it.

"No, you can't leave me with blue fucking balls, doll!" He pulled me by my waist as I giggled.

"Wait, its Elliot. He never calls!" Ezra sighed as I answered.

"Elliot? Are you ok?" It was almost seven in the morning.

"Can you come over? I need someone to talk to." He sounded panicked.

"Yeah, of course. Just give me a few minutes. I'll see you soon."

"You're fucking leaving me?" Ezra sat up as I got dressed.

"Sorry. I think something bad happened. He's going through a lot right now."

"You owe me, baby." He got up and put some sweats on.

"Let me take you to him." He wrapped his arms around my waist and rested his head on my shoulder.

"You don't have to do that, you've already done enough." I started dialing for a taxi.

"Darling, it's no big deal. I'll pick up breakfast on the way home….which you'll be missing out on by the way." He slipped a shirt over his head.

"And I thought I was obsessed with food." I smiled over at him.

"Damn, you are really having fun picking on me." He said as we walked out, with his hand lightly placed around my waist.

"It's only because I like you." I said, winking at him. We got into the elevator and I could feel Ezra's erection rub up against me, I looked up at him.

"I mean, it's your fault." He shrugged his shoulders.

"Good God!" It was the same old lady.

"Have some decency you two, especially you Mr. Davis! I'll wait." She said as she shook her head.

We bursted out laughing, after the doors had shut. I wiped tears from my eyes.

"I get where she's coming from, but poor lady, two times in a week!" I said as we got into his car.

"God, being with you is the most fun I've had in a long time." He placed his hand on my knee.

"That's pretty sad." I said, putting my hand on his and rubbing it.

We pulled up to Elliot's.

"This looks sketchy as fuck. You ok going in by yourself?" Ezra peered out of his window.

"Yup, we can't all live a lavish lifestyle like you!" I pecked him on the lips, getting out.

"Let me know if you need anything. Let me have your number, baby." I gave it to him and went to Elliot's.

"Who was that?" Was the first thing he asked as he answered. I little dog ran up to me.

"Hey! When did you get a dog?" I asked, petting the pup.

"A few nights ago, so?" He said looking at me.

"He's my neighbor, it's nothing, El. What's going on?" We sat down on the couch, he looked exhausted.

"That company that Ange is managing, they want me to work for them, saying I'll become a multi-billionaire in a few years. I don't want that though, you know? But I think that Tyrell has eyes on me…all over the place." He peeked out of his curtains and bit down on his thumb.

"And did you see the news about that group fsociety?" He sat back down, looking at me intensely. Had he lost it? It seemed like it, he definitely had me worried. I shook my head.

"They're actually going to do something about this fucked up world, it's pretty cool. Here, watch!" He pulled me over to his computer and clicked on a video. It was creepy, someone wearing a mask who had distorted their voice, making threats if money wasn't given to the people in need and the CEO of E Corp being arrested. Did he have something to do with all of this?

I looked around and noticed some powder on his coffee table.

"What drugs are you taking, Elliot?"

"It has nothing to do with the drugs." He looked so strung out.

"How about we lay down and talk about this when you wake up?" He nodded his head and we crawled into bed.

"You smell different." He sniffed my hair.

"New shampoo." I said as I rested my head on his chest, his heart was beating like crazy.

It took a few minutes and he was out, which meant I could get some shut eye as well. I woke up to the noise of someone taking a shower, but Elliot was still next to me.
