Amy’s POV
I couldn’t even begin to describe how glad I was that Brian had picked up his phone when I called him, and that he found a way out for both of us.
He tried to calm me down when my fried nerves were getting the best of me.
I wasn’t a hysteric person normally not at all, rather calm honestly but this situation was nothing I had ever dealt with.

I had no idea Brian would be this involved with the media, he never mentioned that it was this bad. But then again, for him it felt normal, he wasn’t that shocked about all this, was he?!
Or were all this people just this out of their minds because of the wedding, was this really such a big deal?!
I guess it was?!

I had no idea what buttons Brian pushed and how he had handled everything so fast but I really got out of my haze when I was back in the secure surrounding of my apartment, felt the familiar surroundings.
When I looked around I still had a million thoughts running through my brain, trying to find a way out of this, but there wasn’t any way out, there was this situation I had no idea how to deal with right in front of me!

And now all my hopes lay in the person opposite of me, all my hopes lay in Brian. I knew the way we parted hadn’t been best, not in the airport nor here in the office but he was still here, he was helping me, maybe he knew a way out now as well?

“What do I need to do now? I can’t handle this, Brian” I said and Brian seemed lost for a moment, he stood so close, I was still wearing his hoodie, drowning in it almost, but it helped to disguise us. Now I really paid attention to us, his perfume in my nose, and the soft fabric of his shirt in my hands. I tried to lose my death grip on it and looked up to find Brian’s brown eyes looking down on me. His features softened when he looked at me and then I felt his hand on my cheek softly brushing a strand of hair behind my ear while he stared into my eyes.

“It will be okay… really… I promise” He had said that before, and even though it didn’t sound that convincing it made me feel better. Hearing him say he promised gave me some strange hope that he indeed would take care of everything. Before I could register what was really happening his lips sealed mine. He started slow as if testing the waters, his arms sneaked slowly around me, while I couldn’t help but open up to him, his smell, his feel, everything was drowning me in deeper and deeper.

The kiss grew hungrier and I just let myself lose in it. I didn’t know why it was happening and I didn’t know if it really was a good idea, but my brain had shut down as soon as Brian’s lips touched mine and my body had taken over so I didn’t have much to do anyway.

My arms sneaked around his neck, burying into the short strands in his neck. I let my fingertips run up and down, wanting to feel more and more of him, even though I knew I shouldn’t, but again that thought was drowned out when Brian began to move us forward.

I walked backwards bumping into my couch table, we maneuvered around it and then I fell down on the couch, without missing a beat Brian was still kissing me, like a drowning man and I was his only sign for life.

When he pulled away a little, his hands landed on my cheeks and a small smile on his gorgeous lips, my heart was beating so fast it would probably jump out of my ribcage every second.
He mumbled something so low I couldn’t understand before his lips crashed down on mine again, but this little moment gave me time to think, what the hell were we doing here?
Making out on my couch?!
While paparazzi are waiting outside of my building, what the hell?!

“Brian” I tried to push him away, but he shook his head “Amy” He replied huskily but didn’t seem to get that I wanted him off of me… even though it was one of the hardest things to do.

“No! Brian, stop it” I pushed harder and Brian lifted himself up on his elbows, looking at me confused.
“What?” He frowned and I shook my head “Get up, this.. this shouldn’t have happened” I tried to motion to the small gap between us.

“Why?” He seemed completely confused now and so was I, but I knew this was wrong. We wanted to divorce and now we were heavily making out!? Something was wrong with that!
“Because of everything that happened. Because we are not even a couple” I tried to sum it up, while trying to wiggle free under Brian’s weight, which was impossible and made Brian groan.

“Stop that!” He gripped my hips and held me still, he seemed to breathe deeply in and out as if he was trying to calm down and when I looked down between us I saw pretty much the effect that our hot little make out session had on him. I tried to swallow and not imagine what delightful things we could be doing right now…

“We are married! We are a fucking couple!” Brian hissed finally when he let go of my hips and pushed himself off of me.
He stood beside the couch looking at me, then shaking his head without saying a word and I had no idea what he was thinking now.

“We planned to get divorced” I reminded him and Brian narrowed his eyes on me “But we are not, not right now!” He shot back and I sighed, how more fucked up could this situation get?!

“You need to come with me to Huntington. Larry is waiting for us, he will know how we will solve this problem.” Brian said and I flinched when he called me problem, I knew I wasn’t more to him than that, and the moment had taken us probably both by surprise, but this reminded me why it was right that I tried to stay away from him.

“Hmm.. Larry knows it all, huh? Getting rid of wives or girlfriends, he is a pro, right?” I muttered under my breath and Brian crouched down before me, his eyes looking deeply in mine, making me want to get another taste of him, but I closed my eyes briefly, knowing it was wrong to think that.

“With the paparazzi, with all this. He wants to talk to you, so we both find a good way on how to go on, Amy” Brian said and I really wanted to believe him, but how could this Larry guy know a solution for all this?!

“I’m not leaving with you” I shook my head and Brian looked like I slapped him. “What do you mean?!”
“I can’t! You said a silent divorce, now you want me to come to LA? To your house? Or would you dump me on some hotel? I got a job, an apartment… I can’t just pack and leave!” I shook my head standing up as well, did he think about anything besides himself?!

“God Amy!” He hesitated for a moment, he hasn’t thought this through, has he?! “This is all about your boss, right? And me and you? We need to get our shit together! You can’t be here, don’t you see all the people wanting a piece of us? Of you?!” Brian’s voice got louder, but he didn’t scare me.

“This has nothing to do with James, it’s about my job! I got the chance of a lifetime and-” I started but Brian got into my face, grabbing my arms and pushing me backwards so my back hit the next wall. He was so close to me, his nose nearly brushing mine.

“There is no option beside me, right now!” His lips were brushing mine, but he didn’t kiss me, his eyes ran over my face, down to my breasts, he licked his lips and I was almost about to beg him to do something, when his phone started to ring and he cursed loudly.

“Fuck!” He pushed away and pulled his phone out barking “What?!” I heard a male voice but couldn’t make out who or what they were talking.

“I don’t think that that will help, fuck off Baker” Brian hissed then listened some more “I did and tried” but I had no idea what the actual topic was.

“Fine whatever… I’ll put you on speaker… for you” Brian pushed a button on his phone and held it out between us. I frowned a little but thought I should probably say something.
“Hello?” I asked carefully, was this maybe this Larry guy?
But to my surprise a familiar male voice came through the speaker and made me sigh in relief.

“Amy? Hey… it’s Zack.”

Matt’s POV
What had happened to the Sara that I got to know during our vacation?!
Where was the beautiful creature hiding?!
Why was she acting all strong and distant when I saw how she reacted to my close proximity?

At first I thought she would really be done with me, making me disappointed to be honest because I wasn’t done with her, no way. Next thought was then that she was just trying to be nice, but the more time we spend, while having dinner, while driving, I was sure she was still checking me out.

I could feel her eyes on me, see the way she looked at me, and that alone told me we so weren’t done!
Not at all!

But I would let her think that she was safe, let her try and push me away… Let her see what that would get her. No one pushed me away, like that… Matt Sanders got what he wanted, when he wanted it. And Sara was the no. 1 on that list now.

But before I could take care of that, her words were still running through my mind… She said Amy didn’t plan to divorce Brian… she had a case about a divorce. What the hell was Amy working as?!
I had no idea I just realized, had she told us and I just didn’t listen, well I was pretty occupied all vacation long with this blonde beauty, so sue me…

So Brian just misunderstood that talk, and what if Sara’s words from earlier were true, that Amy was falling for Brian?! That would turn so much around… did she still feel like that? Would Brian then finally admit that he had more feelings, too?

If that was true and Brian had in the meantime not fucked up everything because he was misguided, we could easily solve this, pack up Amy and Sara and go home.

I grinned to myself, having that figured out for myself and the lunch being done, I was now on to the next point on my agenda, which meant, getting behind what Sara’s show was all about.
We walked out of the restaurant, but before she could even head into the direction of the car, I grabbed Sara’s hand in mine and pulled her to me.

She was surprised and let out a small squeak, I pushed her with one swift move against the next wall, and caged her in with my body, no way out now, babe.
My face was hovering over hers, only a whisper between us, our bodies pressed together.

“Tell me you don’t feel it Sara, tell me, and I will walk away. Just like that. But I need you to say it out loud, because your eyes tell me everything I want to hear.” I growled out, my voice deep and husky, feeling her breasts pressed into my chest was doing things to me I couldn’t describe.

I could easily bridge the last distant and capture her lips, but I wanted to hear it from her. If she told me now, that I should go and there was nothing, I would be out of here faster than she thought. While Grabbing my best friend and hers and she wouldn’t be seeing me ever again, but if there was just a small word of her still wanting me, she would be mine again.
Maybe not right away against the wall, but definitely soon!

“Matt” Sara’s voice was husky as well, she was feeling all the same things that were happening in my body, but she didn’t want that. I knew it, because I felt that too, but now we were here together, why denying what we both wanted?!
“Say it out loud” I repeated and leaned further down, my breath tickling her ear “I need to hear it, either way.”

“I-I” Sara began then stopped, softly shaking her head “Matt, I…” She bit her lip, was she doing this on purpose, I needed her… come on Sara!
“Yes, I do want you but-” Sara said finally her voice defeated like she didn’t want it, but her body did and a huge smile spread over my face and before she could continue I crashed my lips to her.

I entered her mouth immediately, the quick kiss from earlier in her apartment forgotten, all the kisses before forgotten, all I wanted was her taste and I got it.
I lifted her up into my arms and pressed her against the wall, my hand was running over her curves trying to feel if anything had changed in the few days or if it still was as I remembered.

“Matt… stop, we are-” Sara mumble moaned while I ravished her mouth “Ssshhh” I silenced her, she shouldn’t ruin this moment with afterthoughts.
I kissed her again and again, and if we wouldn’t be standing in some alley next to the restaurant we just ate I would have been inside her already.

“Matt!” Sara’s voice was more urging now and I finally let go and set her to her feet. “What?” I grinned and she shook her head “We can’t do that here… and you didn’t even let me finish”
“Because that’s all I wanted to hear” I showed her my dimples while I grabbed for her hand.

“But that’s not how this is working” Sara had to chuckle herself and I opened the car door for her.
“It is for me”

I drove through a couple of streets in silence, not really able to keep the grin from my face, but also not able to say something.
We both knew we still wanted each other, but something was still standing in the way.

“Where are you driving?” Sara asked after about 20 minutes me driving wildly around Phoenix.
“No idea, I waited for you to open your mouth and give me instructions, I know you like that shit” I joked and Sara rolled her eyes, but the smile broke loose on her beautiful lips.

“Can you bring me back to where Amy’s living? I think we should help those two” I said giving Sara a small side glance.
“I don’t think that we can really help them or if we should” Sara let out on a breath but then gave me instructions to get back on track.

When I parked my car in front of the building I saw some people lingering at the entrance, before Sara could open her door I put my arm around her to hold her back.
“Wait a moment” I said and earned a frown from Sara “Why? What’s going on?”

“They must be here, because there a still some fans and photographers…” I signed for the entrance and Sara’s eyes grew wide “Damn, is this really such an important news?” She asked confused and I shrugged.

“Well, Syn Gates getting married without having a real girlfriend and then disappearing is quite some news, you know… And since he is not on social media normally, this is some real interesting food for the sharks” I said and Sara shook her head “Poor Amy, she must be out of her mind.”

“Yes, and that’s why we need to convince her to come along. Larry wants to meet her and I bet he will find a good way in solving all this, they probably need to lay low for a little, and as soon as something else is happening around here, Gates and his wife will be forgotten.” At least that’s what I imagined, and when would be the best time to propose the idea of Sara coming along? Now?
Meehh… maybe not right away.

Actually I was counting on Amy’s help with that one, if we could convince her to join me and Brian, maybe Amy would want her best friend in on this?!
And if not I could just suggest it, as if nothing selfish was behind it, when all I could picture right now was Sara spread out naked on my new sheets, hell that would be a feast!

“Matt?!” Sara’s voice roused me from my dreams again and I shook my head, naked Sara didn’t really wanna leave my mind, could I blame my brain? Nope I couldn’t.

“Yeah?” I asked and looked at Sara, she looked delicious… I leaned forward and kissed her, without thinking twice, damn this happened more often lately, it must be her, or was the surrounding of Phoenix making me this way?
No, must be the woman!

“Next opportunity, you are mine.” I growled in her ear when I pulled away from the kiss and headed out of the car, I put my sunglasses on, pulled my base cap low and hurried with Sara to the entrance, some took pictures of us, but it probably wasn’t as bad as for Amy and Brian.

I knocked loudly on Amy’s door and heard some voices then Amy appeared there with Brian behind her muttering and hurrying to her side “I told you not to open-”

“Hey babe” Sara stepped up to Amy and both girls hugged each other and I was damn sure my plan would be working out, look at them, we couldn’t actually part these girls, could we?

“And?” I asked Brian while I walked past him into Amy’s apartment.
“Don’t even ask” He stared at Amy with an unreadable expression and I was sure, Sara and I would have huge work to get these two blockheads back on track.
