Friends With Benefits

(PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS STORY MAY CONTAIN CONTENTS THAT MAY BE UPSETTING TO SOME READERS) My heart skipped a beat as The Jk West, handsome heartbreaker and singer called my name. "For all my success. I only have you to thank,Zoe." Jk said. A spotlight shone on me as he gave his dashing smile and stretched his hands towards me, I slowly walked towards him but he retracted his hands before I took it making me stumble backwards and fall on my butt. "Ow, what the--" my eyes scanned the concert, it was a huge gathering with about 5,000 people, everyone stared in silence and shock. I started to feel like something bad would happen. ....... Silence. The once angelic smile of his changed drastically as he looked at me with a new light in his eyes. He turned back to the crowd like I didn't exist. He then said the words that i had feared he would say. "as i was saying Zoe, you have contributed a great deal to my career and that is the only reason i'm feeling bad for you, but i have no orther choice, Zoe, i'm breaking up with you." I knew this was to come and prepared for it, but it felt so hurtful. I just walked out of there quietly, "whew, finally, it's over! " just then my bestie Austin called. "So, it's over, huh?" Austin asked and i said yes. I had just made free $20000. TWO WEEKS LATER ""******"" ZOE POV I opened the door as i heared the doorbell rung. The post man asked, "Are you miss Zoe Christopher?" "That's me!" I replied. "I have your mail." The postman said. I took the envelope from his hand. As i opened it i froze. It is a wedding invitation to my ex's wedding. ONE WEEK EARLIER " Don't get me started on that one. At First... It wasn't that bad but later he's like..."Mummy did you hear that? She takes Taekwondo classes" i felt like i was on a date with his mum! Such a mommy's boy!!" One thing about me is that i have always been terrible at finding love or the wrong guys always finds me. I'm Zoe Christopher,24, single, and have the world's worse mum. I know she only cares about me but a bit too much. " Your sister is getting married. Your friend just had twins while you're still single writing your low pay novels, drawing art that usually ends up in the trash with that stupid checklist of yours! get a LIFE!" My mum is something... she'd always set me up on blind dates and when they failed she'll blame it all on me and my checklist. One time she set me up with an undercover bum who started talking rubbish, he says he's a business-bum and the trash in the alley is his merch hilarious! " What did you do?" This is my friend Austin 27, tall, tan skinned, brown hair and brown eyes.He works for the biggest I tech company in California. His dream is to get promoted to one of the highest ranks. He's obsessed with women at least that's what i think! He's a player who gets new hot chicks every week!! Susan... Amelia... Jenny... Janet... They are endless! You may think he's cute, you're not the only one who thinks that. All the girls swoon over him and the guys wanna be him. Austin is so good at playing girls i think he should get an award for best player in California! Not to mention, i'm the only steady woman in his life because i'm his best friend. " I sneaked out while he was talking to his mum about me, to the waitress so i hid behind a leaf plant and told the lady to come to my table and spill a drink on me" Austin burst into laughter. "Haha, classic Zoe." "Stop laughing at my downfall Austin," " Anyway, there's this business party tomorrow and u're coming with me" Austin said. I raised a brow. "Says who? You?" "O c'mon! You owe me one after i saved your cat"Austin said. "Fine.. Only because i love Pepper" i replied.(Pepper is the cat Austin gifted me in middle School) "Works every time! Venue is at Brownsville Villa by twelve noon. So you dare not be late. Dress up like a doll, i may get promoted"Austin said. The next day,which is a Saturday i wore my best edgy elegant gown and after making sure i looked great so i could help him. He has been after the promotion for a year now!. I left for the party fashionably late, when i arrived it was already in full swing. Austin introduced me to his business partners, his boss seemed pleased to see me after all i looked as elegant and soft as Queen Isabella II. "Dammit ! I left my phone back at home, i have a feeling i'm gonna be sooo bored."Austin complained. * pissed off * "Stop complaining,will ya?This party is as boring as that press conference we attended last week." "They were no hot chicks to take home, the youngest woman there was in her early 60's!!"Austin said. I laughed... "You're such a player boy,it's disgusting! No wonder you're named Austin." "And what does my name have to do with this?!"He asked. "Forget about it." A Few Moments Later. "Hey,let's sneak out!" "Are you crazy? Have you finally lost it?This is a business party, not a bar!" " grumpy oldie. " he said to spite me. " Don't call me that. I'm serious." "I know. It's good you're always serious. Anyways, it was a bad idea! Let's have a drink!" Austin said. We drank and drank... And then more drinking. "Garbage everywhere as far as the eye can see. It's not surprising it's starting to stink" "I...I think you've had enough drinks for today.." " Me?!" " Yeah, you should stop." Austin said. " But ... Why?!" " We don't want you painting the alley with your puke."Austin said. I rolled my eyes at him and rested my head on the counter. I didn't know when i dozed off. TODAY My head was spinning like a roller coaster, i had this sharp headache. The doorbell woke me up, I reached out to it. The postman gave an envelope, greeted me and left. As I opened it I was shocked to see a wedding invitation to my ex's wedding. God, am I gonna be the last person to get married in this planet, my ex is getting married. And I'm SINGLE?! I wasted no time to rush over to Austin's place. He has to help me!ASAP! "What's your problem now?, it's six in the morning for Christ's sake!" Austin complained. "No time to complain, Austin. My ex is getting married in frickin' Hawaii.... Can you believe it?" "Yes I can, what's up?" Austin asked. "I need a date, and you're coming with me to Hawaii" " As your boyfriend?" Austin smirked. "Yes..!" " But Colton knows me." Austin replied. "So what? You went with us on every date we had, of course he knows you!" " Is that not a problem?" He asked. " Of course not! We are not the first best friends who fell in love, and will not be the last either." " Okay, I'll do it, but you owe me one." Austin said. " Alright, Hawaii here I come!" I chimed in.
