Work was so weird. Every time she saw DK it was weird. It wasn't a bad weird though. They would steal flirty glances at each other. Those glances soon turned into make out sessions in the bathroom when no one was looking. Those make out sessions turned into sex at his place or her place.

God, the sex was good. It was the best sex Alex had had in a very long time. DK was so considerate of her feelings and needs, but of course he didn't want a relationship. She didn't want one either so they were keeping this very casual. Alex cuddled into DK's sweaty body with a huge grin upon her face. Yes, the sex was good. No, the sex was fantastic.

"We have work soon." DK said softly. Alex nodded.

"Don't ruin the mood." Alex chuckled softly, "Don't want to think about work." DK sat up knocking Alex off of him.

"Me either, but we really need to go." He said. Alex bit her lip.

"Sure." She slid out of bed and grabbed her clothes. This was the moment she hated when they had sex. "Can I make you some coffee or something to eat before we leave?"

"No I'm fine." DK said walking into the bathroom. Alex growled slightly.

"No eggs or anything? Are you sure, DK?" She asked.

"Taylor, I'm fine really." He said from the bathroom, turning the shower on. She hated it now when he called her Taylor. Why not Alex or did that make this "Relationship" more real?

"Okay, Kelly." Alex mumbled and pulled her clothes on.

"You seem off." Kim said as she drove the bus down the street.

"Off? Well you seem off to me too." Alex retorted.

"I do?" Kim nodded, "Weird."

"No. You don't seem off." Alex said, "How do I seem off?"

"I don't know. You've been seeming so happy lately, but this morning your snappish and...I don't know." Kim said.

"I'm not snappish." Alex said.

"Yes, you are." Kim said, "What happened?" Alex sighed softly.

"Well I, Um...I've sort of been seeing this guy. Not really seeing as in dating, but more like fuck buddies." Alex said.

"Ooooh. That never works. You can have sex for a few months but feelings start developing, negative and positive." Kim said.

"There are no feelings except frustration." Alex said.

"How do you mean?" Kim asked.

"This guy, he's sweet, kind, and fucking hot." Alex said. "But the morning after thing is starting to irk me. He won't just lay there and cuddle or even talk. It's all we need to get to work."

"Yeah. That hurts." Kim said, "How long has it been going on?"

"Two weeks, I guess." Alex said. Kim nodded very slowly.

"You still have time." She said, "I personally wouldn't get into a fuck buddy relationship again. There's too much at stake."

"I don't want our friendship to screw up." Alex said.

"You two are friends?" Kim looked at her. Alex nodded.

"Yeah we are." Alex said, "and don't think its Ty."

"I wasn't thinking that." Kim said, "do I know him?"

"It's none of your business if you know him or not." Alex said softly. "Don't tell anyone at the station that I have the fuck buddy." Kim chuckled softly.

"I wont, Alex. Cross my heart." Kim said. Alex smiled.

"Thank you." Alex said looking back out the window of the bus. Relationships like these never worked out, Alex knew that, but she still didn't want to give up on it. DK was great.

"Are you sure you don't have any feelings for him?" She asked Alex. She nodded slowly.

"I'm pretty sure. We're just having fun." Alex said.

"Just be careful, Alex." Kim said, "All right?"

"Why? Is it so wrong if I started to develop some?" Alex asked.

"Yes." Kim warned. "I don't want to be the bad guy here but I am looking out for you. Don't let him break your heart." Alex couldn't help but to chuckle.

"I wont. I promise." She said. She wouldn't let feelings develop. She couldn't. DK didn't want that and she didn't want that.
