Phoebe's POV:

It was our first day back in New York and I could not be happier. All of our belongings from London had shipped and were waiting for us in our new apartment. We were the current new owners of a West Chelsea apartment that had three bedrooms and bathrooms, perfect his and hers walk-in closets, a master en suite, 10 foot ceilings, state-of-the-art kitchen, office; it was the most luxurious apartment that I had ever lived in. I felt like I was living in a fairy tale, a very expensive, thirty thousand a month fairy tale. The biggest difference between Blaine and Damien was that Damien was never afraid to spend money. Why would he be? His father paid for everything that he owned, he never worried about costs.

Georgia was the first person to come over and see our apartment. She was still living in the first apartment that we shared together with her new boyfriend, Alexander. Alexander and Georgia met one night at an art gala at The Met sponsored by her father. She was attracted to his go-getter attitude, something she believed that Sean lacked. In her own words, she wanted a man, not a boy. I was shocked when she told me that she had broken off the engagement with Sean but she seemed happier and stress-free.

"I'm so jealous of this place," Georgia twirled around in my walk-in closet, "This is what I want once I move out of the apartment."

Laughing, I threw some clothes in her direction, "I thought you came over to help me unpack."

"That was just a ruse so that I can get the dirty details out of you about seeing Blaine. How is my favorite heartbreaker?"

Georgia never forgave Blaine for lying and was all the way Team Damien. Not to call her superficial but Georgia liked that Damien could provide better for me than Blaine could. We were raised different, she was all the way a Southern Belle. She believed that a man should provide for his wife and his wife should take care of the children and the home. We were complete opposites when it came to love; she married for money while I wanted to actually love the guy that I was with. Even so, she was still one of my best friends.

"I didn't really see much of him," I lied.

"Uh huh," Georgia looked up from her perfectly manicured nails, "And I'm not sleeping with my yoga instructor. Tell me the truth Grey."

Damien was working in his office downstairs but that did not mean that he could not hear whatever I said.

"I am telling the truth," I tried to give her a look explaining that I would tell her another time which she purposely ignored.

"I need the deets!"

My bags were finally unpacked, with no help from Georgia, "Let's take the dogs for a walk."

Batman and Robin sat on one of the couches in my closet but perked up at the mention of a walk. I grabbed Batman while Georgia picked up Robin and followed me downstairs to get their leashes. I could hear Damien in his office in yet another heated conference call. He had been getting better with working less hours but there were still many times where I would wake up to find an empty spot next to me and a note saying that he was at the office.

"I'm going to let Damien know where we're going, I'll be right back."

I knocked on Damien's office door before poking my head in. He looked up from one of his computer screens and signaled me to wait a minute.

"I have to put you guys on hold for a minute," Damien interrupted whomever was speaking then smiled at me, "What's up?"

"Georgia and I are going to take Batman and Robin on a walk. Do you need anything while we're out?"

"Hmm," he stood up, "Everything I need is right here."

He scooped me into his arms, kissing me all over, "I wish I could go with you."

"Just think, this time next week we'll be in Greece."

His expression fell, "About that…"

"You're kidding, right?" I pushed him off of me, "I already planned everything."

"I know, I know, it's just that my father assigned me onto this new project and it's a major deal. He's giving me bigger tasks and I'm trying to prove to him that it wasn't a mistake. The old me would have dropped everything and gone on vacation with you but the partner version of me needs this project."

I wanted to understand, I really did but I couldn't, "Right. I'll see you later."

"Please don't be like this."

"Like what?" I challenged him.

"I know you're mad at me and if there was some way to get out of this project I would but not all of us can just take photos all day, some of us have to actually work."

What he said stung, "Fuck off."

"Wait, that's not what I meant," Damien tried to grab ahold of my arm as I stormed out of his office.

"Let go of me," I shook him off, "I need to go take some silly photos."

"I never said your photos were silly!"

Georgia stood in the kitchen, pretending to be engrossed in Robin's leash.

"Let's go," I told her.

"Don't leave, give me a few minutes and I'll end the call and we can talk; alright?"

I turned to Damien, "Don't bother. Now if you excuse me, I need to go take some photos of the sidewalk or a bus."

Georgia followed me out of the apartment's doors and headed towards the elevators. We rode in silence to the main lobby. I was still fuming as we walked onto the street, taking my anger out on the pavement with every step that I made.

"He means well," Georgia began.

"Don't give me that," I snapped, "I'm ready to burn his father's business down."

"You're being overdramatic."

Georgia was used to my rants by now and knew that there was nothing to be said that would calm me down. I

"I just want," I paused, "No need a man that can pay attention to me. I know that sounds needy, most girls would love to be with Damien, and I love being with him. Just not the workload that seems to always follow with him. We were supposed to go to Greece next week and now he tells me that it isn't going to happen. I want to spend time with him and have his full attention without his eyes glued to his phone or laptop screen."

"I get it but sometimes you have to give Damien some slack. He's juggling you, his father, and everything in between. I see that he doesn't want to ignore you but he loves his job."

"So I'm overreacting?"

"I didn't say that, personally I would cut sex off for an entire week if Alexander ever did that to me. That boy knows better."

My nerves somewhat eased, "We haven't had sex since before Darcy's wedding."

Georgia stopped, causing the people behind us to curse, "You haven't had sex in that long? You and Blaine used to go at it like rabbits. I was always afraid that his dick was going to fall off from how much sex the two of you had."

"We weren't that bad."

She gave me a look to which we both began to laugh.

"Okay, we were," I admitted, "But maybe that was part of our problem. We never communicated, instead we just had sex."

"How is that a bad thing?"

To most girls it would not be a bad thing but I wanted more to a relationship than just sex which is what I got from Damien.

"I didn't say it was a bad thing but if Blaine and I communicated more then maybe we would still be together."

"Are you going to tell me what happened at the wedding?"

I told Georgia and she listened without interruption but I could see it in her eyes that she wanted to burst in from time to time.

"Wow," she sat back on the park bench.

We had made it to a dog park to let Batman and Robin run free with other dogs. They were happy to be let free and with other dogs. Damien was not a fan of the dogs and sensing that, the dogs did their best to mark their territory in Damien's closet.

"Damien was a trooper whenever he was with Blaine so I can't complain, it was just confusing being with both of them at the same time. There's always going to be that spark with Blaine and I will never act on it as long as I'm with Damien but it doesn't help that I sometimes wonder what life would be like if we were together. Do you ever feel that way about Sean?"

"Not at all," Georgia scoffed, "Calling off our engagement was the best move for the both of us. We were miserable planning the wedding. Our relationship was based off of sex and look where it got us?"

She had a point regarding her relationship with Sean but that did not mean that it would have happened between me and Blaine; did it? My cell phone buzzed in my pocket and Damien's face lit up the screen. Instantly I shoved it back in my pocket. I was not ready to listen to him yet.

"Wanna go grab something to eat?" I stood up.

Georgia smirked knowingly, "Come on Grey, let's go shop off some of this anger."

She knew me so well.
