friends with benefits (claire & chance)

[claire]

Claire smirked when he was around the clevage. She sat up for a moment. She didn't know if she was going to score or not. Claire looked down on him with her innocent blue eyes. She decided she wasn't going have sex with Chance tonight atleast. Claire got up and went to the bathroom.

Claire began to put on her clothes she wore over there. Claire wanted to have sex tonight but, something told her to wait for a week or so. She hoped it wouldn't be akward for the two. And hopefully he wouldn't get pissed off. Claire looked at herself once more in the mirror. She shook her head and smiled a bit. A sigh came from her lips.

[chance]

When she climbed off of him and headed into the bathroom that led off his bedroom before putting her clothes back on he sat up and looked after her in confusion. This wasn't like Claire. Furrowing his eyebrows he waited for her to come back out of the bathroom before he spoke.

"Somethin' wrong?" he asked, confusion clear on his face. He wouldn't be mad if she didn't want to do anything tonight but he was wanting to know what had suddenly changed her mind. I mean she was wearing lingerie and had showed up on his doorstep in the middle of the night.

So the reason for her to stop all of a sudden had to be a pretty good one. Pretty sure that nothing was going to happen he reached down and pulled his sport shorts back on before standing up from the bed and taking a couple steps towards her, trying to read her expression to figure out what was on her mind.

[claire]

Claire slowly came out of the bathroom with her pants un buttoned. She quickly buttoned them up though. "Nothing." Claire said causally. "I have to go Chance." Claire said while tryin to avoid any eye contact. There was something wrong with her. She just didn't want to tell Chance. In fact, she was kind of scared of what he would think. A knot shaped like a pretzel hide in her stomach as she waited for him to reply. Claire bit her lip while looking anywhere but Chance's eyes.

[chance]

Chance knew something was wrong. He knew her too well to think that nothing was wrong. She was an actress after all and yet she wouldn't look at him when she spoke. Confusion still on his face he could tell by the look on her face that there was something she wasn't telling him and he wasn't sure if he wanted to know what it was or not.

Curiousity finally got the best of him and he filled the gap in between them, looking down at her trying to get her to look him in the eyes. Wrapping his arms around her waist he pulled her to his chest and held on to her until she told him what was wrong.

"Come on, you're an A list actress and yet you can't even look me in the eyes and tell me nothing is wrong. You can talk to me, we're friends." he replied, his voice a little playful but getting more serious towards the end of his words. His light blue eyes looked into hers, trying to see what was hiding there.

[claire]

Claire couldn't help but to smile a bit. But that was just the thing. Friends who had sex. It was complicated. Plus, Amina and him had a thing and she didint want Amina to get hurt. So, she knew she had to break off the sex buddy things for a while.

Claire sighe a bit while looking up at him, "Chance we can't do this anymore. It's not fair to Amina." She confessed. She didn't know if he knew that about him and the other girl. They were practically dating. "She likes you alot. I just don't think it's right." Claire said shrugging a bit. It might be better off if they were just friends mothin more. Even though it would be hard for the both of them. Claire was very attracted to Chance but all they ever would be is friends. Nothing more. It would make Claire a bit happier if they were friends instead of sneaking around and having sex. It made her feel a bit skanky when she did it. But, she did like him after all.

[chance]

Chance sighed when she finally spoke the reason she had suddenly stopped. Amina. It was true that him and Amina had a lot of history and chemistry together and he did like her a lot. But they weren't dating or anything yet. They were still just childhood friends. Hell he hadn't even kissed her yet!

But he wasn't going to fight Claire and argue with her reasoning when he didn't have a very good excuse. Sighing he let his arms fall back to his sides and he put his hands up in surrender as he looked at the floor, taking a couple steps away from her.

"That's fine. If that's what you want to do. I don't want to hurt anyone." he replied, his voice soft as he spoke. Raising his eyes to look at her once more he gave her a small smile before heading towards his bedroom door.

[claire]

Claire looked at him a bit suprised that he wasn't going to argue with her. She raised an eyebrow knowing it was true. She smiled slightly at him. Claire walked behind him, "Im going to miss these times." Claire admitted with a slight smile. "But, it's for the best." She sighed quietly. She couldn't belive what she had done. She was proud of herself. Claire had gained more self respect toward herself. Maybe one of these days Claire would find someone to love but it wasn't going to be Chance. Claire's eyes met his as she studied his facial expression. She smiled slighty at him before looking down at her heels. "Walk me to the door?"

[chance]

Chance nodded and looked down at the floor for a moment as she said that it was for the best. He knew she was probably right but he wasn't always the best at doing the right thing. When she said she was going to miss these times he grinned a little more and nodded.

"Ya know we could always do it just one last time to get us through the long, lonely nights ahead. Ya know, goodbye sex." he added, stepping up to her again and wrapping his arms around her waist, pulling her to his muscular bare chest. His lips went to her neck and gently began to kiss along her collarbone and then slowly made their way up to her lips.

When his mouth reached hers he pressed his lips against hers passionately as he held her, not wanting to let her go just yet.

[claire]

Claire grinned as Chance kissed her. She kissed him back. She pulled her head away from his lips. "You won't be lonely though." Claire stated while batting her eyelashes. As much as she wanted to have sex with Chance she wasn't going too. Claire looked into his eyes, "Neither will I. It's just not right. Atleast being sex friends." Claire confessed. She really didn't want this anymore. A relationship hardly ever worked for them. So being friends was the best option for them. She couldn't say that they never would have sex again. Just for now or maybe a while.

[chance]

Chance sighed dramatically as she kissed him back but then pulled away. Damn, he was surprised that Claire, a top actress, cared about one of his childhood friends. Tilting his head to the side a little he put on his puppy dog face and looked at her with his light blue eyes.

"What are you wanting Mr. Right to come and sweep you off your feet?" he asked, a teasing smile on his face. He waited a moment before reaching down and picking her up in one quick motion.

"See? I can do that." he replied with a broad grin on his face like a little kid who had done something good. He knew he should just give up and let her go but seeing her in that lingerie had gotten him all excited, like a kid on Christmas.

[claire]

Claire's laughed, "Put me down!" She demanded. She playfully slapped him. Claire studied him she kissed him on the cheek. She smiled while scrunching up her nose. She knew he had only been doing this to get into her pants. "Why do you care so much?" Claire asked trying to read what he had been thinking.

[chance]

He put her down when she laughed at his joke and shrugged before answering her question.

"I'm not some heartless dick. I thought I was your friend and I don't mean just friends with benefits. Though benefits are great, that's not all I'm about." he replied, his playfulness sort of falling away from his face as he glanced across his room before looking back at her.

"Look it's late, how about you at least stay for a movie or hot tub and then you can stay in the guest bedroom. You can even lock the door so I can't get in." he added, his usual playfulness returning to his voice as he raised his eyebrows.

[claire]

Claire looked at Chance, "I didn't say you were a dick." Claire laughed. "I wouldn't lock you out of your own guest room." She grinned. She was a bit suprised with the offer he had gave her. Claire looked at him raising an eyebrow. She wasn't sure if she would say yes or no. Claire smiled at him. "So, you want me to stay with you without screwing you?" She asked curious to know. It was hard to believe. She just wanted to clerify his offer.

[chance]

Chance nodded, glancing around like the question was a trap and something would jump out and eat him if he answered it wrong.

"Yeah. . . unless you wanna screw me. I mean I wouldn't object." he replied teasingly. He put his hands up in surrender as if she was attacking him but his light blue eyes were shining with playfulness.

"You at least gotta try out my new hot tub though. It's bad ass." he added, giving her a wink. He was rather proud of the hot tub he had recently had installed on his bedroom balcony. The lights changed colors and the seats were super comfortable. It was top of the line.

[claire]

Claire laughed at Chance. "You just to see me in my sexy outfit again." Claire said teasingly. A smile formed on her face as she looked at him. The hot tub sounded great as if right now. Claire hadn't been in one for a while. Hopefully Chance would give her something to wear afterwards. She raised an eyebrow when he mentioned if I wanted too. "Maybe later." Claire said playfully. She couldn't wait to sit in the hot tub and relax. Maybe this friend thing wasn't going to be as tough as she thought it would be.
