To be honest, the inspection on the upper floors wasn't that bad. Everyone working there ignored her completely. For one side she felt angry because some of the people used to flirt with her while others used to make small talk.

As Cassie walked towards the last hallway, she felt a little sad. She never in her whole life, mistreated anyone for the work they were assigned. She was more the type of being in her own corner, working and living her life. And these "butterflies" are ignoring her complete existence. Well, kind of.

As she walked towards a garbage can, Cassie stopped her tracks and stared at no one other than Jocelyn. She cut her hair into a groovy short bob hairstyle, her body looked more toned and her chestnut skin reminded her of Riley.

Shame.

When she first applied, she had a beautiful afro-textured curly hair and her skin didn't shine this much. It's really a shame. Cassie's eyes lingered all over Jack's new secretary/toy. 'Damn she is fine as hell. No. I can't think about this right now.' She continued to stare at her and then stopped at her smile. 'God, i miss human touch. I miss Riley…..and some dick.'

"Isn't she beautiful?" Cassie jolted and turned around coming face to face with Jack himself. "She's quite an eye-catcher." He was leaned against the wall with his hands on his pockets while staring at Jocelyn. "I can assure you, pumpkin. She's really that good."

Cassie turned her side to Jack but maintained her eyes on his figure. The last thing she wants is to look straight at his eyes. 'Fucking bastard.'

Jack exhaled in delight and then gave his attention to Cassie. "So how's your life going? Haven't seen you around that much since i demoted you. How are you?" The sarcasm and mockery on his voice daring her to talk back. He was doing it on purpose and she couldn't do anything.

"I'm good."

"Just that?" He laughed. "Well, there are people who contented themselves with little. The type who enjoys plain and cheap things."

"Uh huh." Cassie looked at the ceiling and waited for him to continue but he didn't. She stopped rolling the tip of her shoe on the floor and then shoved her hands on her small pockets. This will sure give her nightmares.

The awkward situation was taking too much of her precious time. Cassie looked at Jack and found him in the same position but staring at her intensely. "I have work to do. Have a nice day, sir."

"Hmm." That was all that came out of him. She could swear his eyes were still on her as she made her leave.

It gave her the creeps.

That man has always something on his sleeve.


John's apartment

Allowing the hot drops of water running down her body, Cassie was craving her bed badly. As she turned the shower off, she wrapped herself on a towel and stopped. "John?" She called. "John is that you?" Slowly turning the knob around, Cassie peeked. "John?" She called smoothly.

"Cassie."

"HAH. You asshole." She glared. "Don't do that."

"Do what?"

"Forget it." She stepped out of the bathroom.

"You losing weight. Are you eating properly?" John tossed a second towel and followed her. "Your hair looks so beautiful. Can i brush it, please?"

"I'm naked, John. Get out of my room."

"Sorry-!" She slammed the door close and exhaled loudly. She sat on her bed and cracked her neck while massaging it. "Let me brush your hair, Cassie." John's muffled voice sounded overjoyed.

"Fine but only if you prepare something to eat."

"Okay."

Moving to her wardrobe, Cassie pulled out an old shirt and dressed some boy shorts. She varies her style between feminine and tomboyish. To be trustful, this is who Cassie really is. She likes both men and women clothing.

Leaving her room, Cassie tossed her brush to the couch and waited for John. "Be gentle." She said, gratefully taking the sandwiches and getting comfortable so John could brush her hair. "News?"

"Nothing much. The guy that got your place is kind of hot but looks asexual. He's a little shy when talking with someone. Jack adores scaring him. Sherry and Hanna fought before lunch."

"For real? Hahah." Cassie crossed her legs and continued to talk with her mouth full. "And i thought they were the super besties who swore that nothing would destroy their amazing friendship. Pff what a losers."

"Yeah." John sweetly continued to brush her hair. "Damn your hair is indeed beautiful. That shampoo is doing wonders. What's your secret?"

"Hum?"

"To have this hair?"

"I always enjoyed having long hair. Riley loves it too."

"How was your day? I know you have your eyes on Anne."

"Really john?" Cassie turned her head to give him a harsh look, but John rolled his eyes and positioned her head straight.

"I know when you want some. Don't give me the stinky eye."

"She's hot. Riley is sure having fun on Oasis too."

"Open relationship, i know."

"What? No." She got up and pulled her hair to the side. "We can only do it with certain people. I mostly masturbate but damn, you know how Oasis and Helios is. Good looking/dangerous people everywhere. Is kind of hard not to fall. Take Scarlet for example. That's deadly hot but Riley doesn't stay behind. We both like to engage with hot stuff. But ONLY when i'm around or when i choose who serves as a stress-escape."

"Where's your cowboy toy?"

"Somewhere in a place where you can't find it. It's mine John. It was hard to buy it with Jack around me all the time."

"You can buy one for me. You're not ashamed to get it. I-!" John got up and moved behind the couch. "I start to blush and gag. People laugh at me."

"Use your fingers. It's not that bad." Cassie took her plate to the kitchen.

John followed her and started to complain like a child. "That is more useful to you than to me."

"What? Hey, to your information i use it in both ways, ok."

"Urgh." John rolled his eyes and went to the living room.

"Aw, come on. Are we doing this? John?"

"I'm so stressed right now, Cassie. Without you there, people are wilder and work turned into a dull thing. I almost don't have time to fool around."

She leaned against the wall and smiled. The way he handles everything around him, makes her happy. He always maintains order and a cool head. Something she learned with him. "I will buy you a damn toy."

"Is it awkward my friend is buying me that kind of stuff?"

"Pretty much, yes."

"Meh. I don't care. Buy me one like yours but in red." John turned the TV on and patted the seat next to him. "Let's watch this useless program. I'm intrigued on who is banging the gardener."

"Oh, John." Cassie laughed and sat beside him. He encircled an arm around her and allowed her to get comfortable on his chest.

"Did anything interesting happen on your shift?"

"No."

"Sure?"

Sighing deeply, Cassie clenched her teeth. "What did you heard?"

"Well," He caressed her head. "I heard Jocelyn complaining about you."

"Really?" Cassie didn't want her question to sound too much interested, but it was exactly how it came out.

"Something about you talking with Jack and laughing about your new job."

"That bitch."

"Yeah. She's showing her true colors now."

"I'm not sure if that's her true colors, John. Maybe she's being influenced by the Helios and Hyperion lifestyle."

"No one is being influenced, Cassie. That's how people really are nowadays. She always looked a little bit conceited to me. I mean, what would you expect? Jack is banging her and from that moment she thinks she above everyone else. Getting gourmet dick flips people upside down."

"I didn't flip."She gave him a playful glare and then continued to watch the show."I wish them luck."

"What did he want?"

"Mock."

"Hm. That's his style." He looked down at her and smiled. "Remember when we all met? I knew this friendship was special since the moment i saw you and Riley fighting over undercooked skag meat."

Cassie laughed and squeezed John's leg. " And you lured us with free classes to learn how to read and write. If i recall it right, we almost gave you a wedgie. "

"Hahah, thank God you didn't. My parents would force our family to move out. Again."

"We were both stupid kids, John. We used to hate the rich kid so much."

"I was a weird kid."

"You still weird." She looked up at him and laughed.

"Shut up."


Next morning

Cassie rolled around and turned the alarm off. Her body was all sore from the physical work she had done the previous day. "Ready?" John clapped his hands.

"I have work." She said in a raspy voice, while stretching on the bed.

"It's Sunday." He uncovered her.

"Yeah, but i still work."

John sighed. "But your shift will end earlier, right?"

"Yeah. And tomorrow is my day off."

"Well, tomorrow i have work. My only day off is on Wednesday. Make sure to take a shower and dress nicely. We are going to Chérie-Chérie."

"How come i've never seen you on Wednesday? And you know damn well, i'm not allowed on Chérie-Chérie. I no longer have professional status to attend it."

"One: you don't see me on Wednesdays because you work over-hours. Second: you are damn hot. That place needs beautiful people and you are indeed very beautiful. "John laid his head on her stomach, making her giggle.

"Stop."

"Third: Where does your "work status" is allowed to have fun?"

"It's a crappy bar near the mechanics section. It smells mostly on disappointment, depression and sweat. But is not that bad. Chérie-Chérie is way much better."

"And that's a bar only for people not as high as Jocelyn statues." Both started to laugh hysterically. She really missed these laughs.

"I'm going to get ready." She pushed John off her stomach and left the room.

"Remember, get a nice outfit and meet me at the outside gardens."

"Okay. You made me breakfast? Nice." Her voice sounded far.

"Eat everything. You will need strength." John said with his head resting on his prompted arm. He heard Cassie's muffled voice. "Don't talk with your mouth full."

"Mfmfmff."


Chérie-Chérie

For the hard work, that Cassie has done so far, she will finally have fun with John. No doubt, there will be idiots that will ignore her and others who will flirt their way up to her panties. And that's exactly what she needs.

A little attention.

As both friends reached the bar, Cassie admitted that she missed the crazy people dancing, the good quality drinks, the loud music and the aroma of hot perfume and sweat.

"This looks awesome." Cassie spoke loudly on John's ear.

"They are going to make a double floor and put some cool neon colors."

"This bar is basically regurgitated neon colors. Why would they put more of it?" Cassie continued to dance as John drank his vodka at the beat of the sound.

"Dance bitch, dance." He brought her head closer to his and they started to laugh while dancing like idiots.

After half an hour of dancing, Cassie found a nice spot to sit down. John on the other side found a nice dance partner. "Great party, right?" Cassie adjusted her loosen hair strands and looked to the voice owner.

"Yeah." She smiled and examined him. "Really great."

She could tell the man was nervous. The way he tried to play cool didn't stand on his favor. She watched him sit beside her and play with the glass of alcohol on his hand. At least he's cutely hot. "Oh….It's empty. Eheheh"

"Can i offer you a drink?" Cassie titled her head to the side and despite of the colored environment, she could see his blush. "Don't worry i can take a good care of you. Ahahah."

He laughed and adjusted his collar in an excited yet nervous way. "O-Of course. What's your name?"

She leaned in to him because the music started to pump louder. "Does it really matter?"

"What?"

"I said-!"

"I CAN'T HEAR YOU."

"I SAID, DOES IT REALLY-! Oh." They both laughed when the music suddenly stopped. "Call me Negan."

"WHAT?" He got up and looked at her. "Are you a dude?"

She started to laugh loudly and brushed joyful tears off her face. "No. My name is Cas-! You can call me, the girl who you're going to spend the night with."

"Oh…eheheh….Sure you're not a dude? Because you are, hot as hell. And that would be a shame."

"I'm Sue. What's your name?" She crossed her legs on purpose. The short dress showing a little too much.

"I-I-I'm Jack." He cleared his throat.

"Really? Is that the best you can do?" She rested her hand on the sofa frame and raised an elegant eyebrow. "The game here is not to tell the real name yet you come up with Jack? You know," She rose from her seat and stopped at his side. The mischievous smile she displayed was enough to put any man on his knees for her. "Not every woman likes Jack. Let's start from the beginning." She placed her hand on his shoulder and felt him tense. "What's your name?"

"M-M-My name is Negan."

"Hm." She laughed. "That's more like it. Do you watch the walking psycho too? Spoilers, the boss of the Rescuers is Negan."

"Is that a Pandorian TV series?" He looked at her eyes. Something about them was very alluring.

"Your eyes are almost like him."

"Well…Thanks." He scratched his head and encircled an arm around her. "Let's have some fun. Night is still a child."

She smiled at him while resting her hand on his shoulder. The hot bubbling sensation building inside of her was ready to explode like an atomic bomb. 'It's been a while since i've been with a man. This should be great.'


Apartment

Stumbling on each other's feet, the two impatient "lovers" didn't bother to turn the lights on. Only one thing was on their mind.

Gripping his shirt, Cassie/Sue, brought his body closer to her as she felt his hands roaming her entire back. The sound of their wet kisses were a sweet melody and she was feeling uneasy. It has been so long since she had sex that she really hopes not to climax too soon due to the over-excitement.

Tugging him in the direction of her room, "Negan" kicked her door open and picked her up in bride style. "HEY." An angry voice protested and he dropped her on the floor.

"GET OUT."

Cassie got up and pushed him out of her room. "Is that your boyfriend?"

"Roommate." She laughed and grabbed his hand. "Come on." She led him to John's room.

Once there, he pulled her to him and quickly locked lips with her. He led her to the bed and crawled his hands up her legs. Her sweet laughs drove him to the edge. He too, didn't feel the body of a woman for days. His ex girlfriend didn't allow him to touch her when he was in the mood. They only did it once in two weeks.

She placed her hands on his face and brought him up to her. She licked his lips and felt his body responding to every single move she did. She never had this type of control with Jack. That man only gave her false hopes and when she was enjoying the circumstances, he would laugh and take the lead.

Damn bastard.

He helped her undress his shirt as strands of his hair tickled her face and his hands moved behind her back to unzip her dress. He pulled the dress down reveling her well-formed shoulders and small breasts. He chuckled when his eyes met hers.

She bit her lip, daring him to make the next move. This was a dangerous woman. A woman whom he really wants to know more. Undressing her completely, he caught his breath on his throat. "God. You are really hot."

"Are you going to stare or undress?" She played. "Whoah, whoa. Not my panties. I was talking about your pants." She laughed and watched him clumsily taking his pants off. "Perhaps, if you take your shoes off first, the pants will come out easily."

"You right." A nervous laugh came out of him as he fell on the floor. "Done." He quickly regained his posture and leaned in. "Now, Where were we?"

Cassie moved to him and ran her hands on his torso, walking around him while caressing his body. "Let's start slow and sweetly." She whispered and pushed him to the bed. She waited for him to turn around then she knelt in front of him. "You must be really stressed with everything around you."

"Hmm, you guessed Mademoiselle." He watched her caressing his bulge and staring at him attentively. "I'm wondering if you are a mirage-ahh." He gasped and rested him head on the bed.

This is only getting started.


In the next morning

Cassie rubbed the back of her neck while yawning. "Sup." Her usual raspy voice greeted John. "How was your night?"

"Delicious. Yours?" He accepted her coffee.

"Lovely."

"From what i heard, it wasn't only lovely. Who was the guy, hum?" He elbowed her and smirked at her hickeys. "Was he big?"

Cassie sneered and took a gulp of coffee. "I should congratulate his parents. The guy was more than blessed."

"Damn." John laughed and opened the kitchen window. "Shame he left before i woke up." He leaned against the counter and started to balance. "But-!"

"Don't ask it. I don't want you to ruin my day." Cassie was about to leave when she turned around to smack John in the head.

"Ouch. I didn't even ask anything."

"Just in case you were."

"Jack's bigger right?"

"Fuck John." She turned around again but he pushed off the way and ran to the living room.

"I'm sorry, i'm sorry." He glued himself against the wall and turned his face around.

"I can see your junk." Cassie stopped her tracks.

"Stop staring, pervert." He tighten his robe and made his way to her room.

"It's a dick, John. Even a gay dick is hot."

"Pervert."

She sighed in satisfaction and then went to the bathroom. She turned the shower on and slowly hopped in. She can gladly admit she has dumped a ton of stress out of her body.

It felt incredibly amazing.
