"Just do it, man." Scott groans, hoisting himself up onto the island of the kitchen. "It's been like two months since you've known her. You talk to her all the time, you two get-"

"I talk to her mostly about Reina and I," I interject. "That's not the same thing."

"And Reina is living with Carter, correct? She's moved on Justin. It's been a year since the two of you have been apart. Ramsey is the closest thing I've seen you get to happiness in a long time." He pauses and clears his throat before he says, "I just want to see you happy again man."

I crack open a beer and set it down onto the countertop, shrugging my shoulders before I look down at my shoes. I don't know how I feel about asking Ramsey out yet. We talk all the time, sure, but I don't know if she thinks of me as more than just a friend. If I do go for it, I want to make sure that I'm ready.

"Things with Reina picked up a little bit last month though." I reply. "She let me stay over, which was new for us. I thought that we were getting somewhere."

"That's because you were drunk. Has she even called or texted you since that night? She was gone when you woke up man. Didn't even say goodbye."

"Fuck, Scott. I know." I mutter harshly. "It's not easy trying to move on."

"And it won't get any easier until you put yourself out there. Ramsey seems like a cool girl. Just ask her to the movies or something bro, it doesn't have to be anything serious. If it sucks, then you know you aren't ready. But if you never try, then how are you ever going to forget about Reina?" He slides another beer over to me once he's finished, and all I can manage to do is let out a laugh.

"I hate it when you're right." I smirk. 

"Scott." Casey groans, entering into the kitchen in annoyance. "I told you to put the clothes in the dryer an hour ago." Her hair is in an extremely messy bun, just a loose pair of sweatpants clinging onto her hips. "Hey Justin." She sighs once she finally sees me.

"Hey." I laugh again, furrowing my eyebrows together. "You good?"

"I'm fine. Just really tired."

Scott slides off of the island, his arm going around her waist to try and calm her down. "Babe." he presses. "I'll do it in a couple of minutes, alright? You need to go upstairs and sleep. Get some rest."

"I'm about to get going anyways." I say to the both of them, patting Scott on the shoulder. "So he can do that laundry right now, right Scott?" I see him send me a dirty look out of the corner of his eye, until he finally smiles and reaches out to grip my forearm.

"Of course. That way you can go and call Ramsey. Ask her out. Right?"

Casey's eyes widen a little bit, but she doesn't say anything. She just sends me a reassuring smile to let me know that she agrees with Scott.

"Maybe," I tease. "I'll let you guys know."

I haven't felt this nervous in ages. I haven't actually picked someone up for a date for the first time in years. My palms are sweating, my heart is racing, and for a second I want to just say screw it and get right back into my car. The thought of Ramsey being all ready though and finding out I stood her up doesn't exactly appeal to me though, so I knock on her door and shove my hands into the pocket of my jeans. I decided on wearing this red button down shirt and jeans, but the collar on my shirt keeps coming up. She's probably going to think I look like a trainwreck.

When she opens the door I'm not really sure what to say. Her hair is straightened, and she's got this red dress that hugs in her body in a million different ways. I'm trying to come up with something to say, but I'm honestly speechless. She looks so stunning.

"Your face says it all." She smirks, locking the door behind her. "Thanks for picking me up."

I grab her hand to help her down the stairs since she's wearing heels and I open the car door up, clearing my throat once she's finally settled in. I start the engine, and the silence is deafening. I don't know what to talk about on this date, because all we ever normally talk about is Reina. Now that I told her I wanted to take her out it's like she's a completely different person.

"So, dancing." She announces, breaking the god forsaken silence. "This should be fun."

"Yeah." I reply. "It should be."

My fingertips are drumming on the steering wheel to try and block out the silence but they can't. Instead, I flip on the radio until she reaches over to shut it off.

"Stop being like this." She laughs, leaning over to grab onto my knee. I swear my dick was about to get hard, so I let out a loud sigh and rest my head on the back of the headrest. "I know that this is hard for you, alright? I'm not trying to take things fast. I'm willing to go at your pace. It's just finally about damn time that you asked me out."

I actually let out a laugh, so does she, and suddenly my nerves are starting to slowly fade away. I'm not sure why I was so nervous in the first place about taking Ramsey out. She's become such a close friend of mine, I talk to her about everything, so why am I so nervous?

"You're right," I admit. "Then I think it's about damn time I say that you look good as fuck tonight."

I've never seen Ramsey blush, but she's doing it right now. She brings her fingertips up to her mouth and bites gently onto her thumbnail, more than likely because of how nervous she is. "Thanks." She says shyly. "I could say the same to you."

There's no parking spaces, so I'm forced to park about a block away from the club. I hop out and open the car door for her, catching her when she stumbles in her heels.

"Sorry," She laughs. "I haven't had much practice in heels."

Taking her by surprise, I pick her up into my arms and earn a squeal from her in return. Her body is clinging to me, and I'm laughing from how much she's overreacting right now. I'm being a gentleman so that she doesn't have to walk a block in those heels.

My mind begins to think about what she's wearing underneath her dress right now. I shouldn't be thinking about that, but I am. Not having sex for a year is certainly in it's full-blown effect tonight.

"You don't have to do this!" She shrieks, erupting into another fit of laughter. I grip her body tighter and feel hers stiffen beneath my grasp. As I'm carrying her in my arms I'm realizing that I haven't thought about Reina much at all tonight. For once, I'm actually enjoying myself and having a good time.

"I want to." I reply honestly. "Your feet need to be ready for all this dancing I'm about to school you on."

"Oh yeah?" She teases.

"Yeah, Ram. Just you wait."

----

By midnight I'm wasted beyond belief. Ramsey turned out to be a better dancer than I thought she was, and her hips haven't left mine all night. I want to have sex with her badly tonight. I want to pull on that long blonde hair. Maybe it's just the alcohol kicking in, I don't know. All I do know is that she's looking fine as hell.

"Why aren't you drunk?" I slur into her ear, laughing slightly.

"Because someone has to drive home!" She shouts over the music. My whole body is sweating from all of the dancing, but I just grab onto her hips a little tighter and bring her closer.

"I'm having a really good time." I smirk. "Seriously Ramsey, I'm glad we did this. I'm glad I met you."

"I think you're just drunk." She smiles back, wrapping her arms around my neck. "But I'm having a good time too. Thanks for inviting me."

I move my hands lower down her back and lean down so I can talk in her ear. "Can I ask you something?"

I feel her body stiffen for the second time tonight before I feel her nod her head, which is pressed up against my cheek.

"Do you want to have sex with me later?"

She immediately pulls away, a smile plastered on her face. "What?" She asks in disbelief. "Justin you're drunk. I'm not going to do something with you if I don't know if it's what you actually want. That's not right."

"But I do want it." I groan, pulling her back into me. I can tell she's getting weaker from the way she's looking at me. Her eyes are radiating lust, nothing more. "I've wanted to fuck you for a long time Ramsey. Please."

I bite gently on her earlobe, and that's when her body kind of falls into mine right here on this dance floor. Before I know it, she presses her lips against mine and I'm trying to keep up with her. It's obvious she's wanted this for some time too, because her hands are going everywhere on my body right now. She's trying to feel all of me, and believe me, she's going to.

Bringing my hands down to her ass, I'm too drunk to even care what anyone in this club thinks of us. I want to take her right here on this floor, that's what I want to do.

"Oh my god!" She gasps, pulling away instantly. I'm left standing here out of breath, my dick hard as a rock.

"What?" I ask.

"My new boss is here. Oh my god."

"Your boss? I thought you didn't have a job?"
"I just got one." She whines. "He gave me my interview a couple days ago. Fuck."

My eyes wander around the club but there's way too many faces in here to recognize a stranger. He's probably blended in with everyone else. "Where is he?" I ask.

"It doesn't matter. Can we just take this somewhere else maybe? Like near the bathrooms or something? I don't want him to see me."

"Sure." I nod, grabbing onto her hand. "Let's go."

We head towards the exit and make a right where the restrooms are located. There isn't a line thankfully, just a bunch of light up beer signs plastered on the cement walls. I don't waste any time before I press her up against it and kiss down her neck, letting out a moan from how ready I was. This is my first time being a happy drunk in a year.

"Oh my god..." She trails off. "Please don't stop."

I bring my hand underneath her dress and circle my fingers around her underwear, sucking her flesh with my teeth to leave a hickey. Her moans are growing louder, and I'm too horny to stop.

"Bathroom." I mutter harshly. "Right now."

We go into the girl's restroom, but I don't give a fuck, and kiss our way into the handicap stall for more room. I hoist her up so that her legs are wrapped around my waist, the both of us laughing from how ridiculous this is. When you're horny, nothing really makes sense.

I rip her underwear off, fling them onto the floor, and don't waste any time before I retrieve a condom from my pocket, put it on, and fill inside her. She gasps at my size, causing me to smile into her shoulder as I go deeper and moan from the feeling.

As I'm pounding against her skin, we both hear the door to the restroom open and Ramsey's body freezes. I don't stop though, instead I whisper, "People fuck in clubs all the time, sweetheart. Who cares?"

Surprisingly, she says okay and shocks me from how freaky she's being right now. I speed my motions up and she moans louder, sinking her nails into my shoulders. I'm moaning excessively because it feels so good, while the person in the bathroom is either frozen in shock from how gross this is, or in some weird way enjoying the sound of us having sex. All I know is that they haven't left yet.

"Oh my fucking god Ramsey." I seethe into her ear. "You're going to make me finish so fast."

After I hear her climax come and go, I release myself and mutter a couple of cuss words, kissing her down her neck and shoulder before I finally calm down. She's staring at me with the most intense expression on her face, and I know that means that the sex was good. I'm out of breath, my body feeling relaxed as ever for finally getting laid.

"Let me throw this away." I murmur against her skin.

Opening up the stall door, I go to throw out the used condom until I see Reina standing in front of the door. There are tears in her eyes, her face as white as a ghost. Never in my life have I been put into a situation like this, so all I can do is clear my throat and calmly throw away the condom. I'm too drunk to even handle this situation right now, but I know that the last thing I'm going to do is cry in front of Ramsey and make her feel like shit. I'm not going to do that. Especially after just having sex with her.

"Justin," Ramsey giggles, pulling her dress down after closing the door behind her. When she sees Reina her face goes pale too. I'm starting to wonder why, since she has no clue that this is my ex-girlfriend.

"Oh my god." She starts, her hands beginning to fix her hair. "I'm so sorry. This is so unprofessional."

"Excuse me?" Reina sneers, crossing her arms over her chest.

"My first day is Monday, and I never should have done this. I'm not sure if you're Mr. Brooks girlfriend, or wife, but I promise that something like this will never happen again."
When I piece together what's happening I feel like I might pass out. Ramsey got a job at Carter's office? So, this means that she and Reina will be working together? All I can do is just stare at Reina blankly and try to ignore the tight dress she has on. Her hair is gelled back into this tight ponytail, her skin as tan as ever. Mascara is falling down her cheeks from crying, and when she realizes that Ramsey has no idea who she is to me, she just grabs a paper towel and rolls her eyes.

"You're worried about me telling my boyfriend that you're a slut?" She laughs.

I step in front of Ramsey, sending Reina an evil glare. "Stop." I warn, moving a little closer to her. "This was my idea, not hers."

"I bet it was." She says, wiping away more tears.

I'm expecting Ramsey to get mad at her, or to cuss her the fuck out, but instead she gets some paper towels and passes them over to her. "Here," She says. "Are you alright?"

"I'm fine." She shoots back bitterly. "Get the fuck out of the bathroom and spread your legs somewhere else next time."

This time she got to her, and when Ramsey leaves the bathroom crying, all I can do is stare at Reina in disbelief. I'm livid at her for ruining our night, I'm even more livid at her for not allowing me to be happy. She never once cared about me moving on, and when I finally find someone who makes me happy, now she wants to be a bitch about it? She makes no sense.

"Just go." She pleads, her bottom lip trembling. I know this means that she's about to break down, so I don't go. I should be out there consoling Ramsey right now, but instead I'm waiting to make sure Reina's okay. Sometimes I don't understand why I do what I do.

"What's going on?" I ask. "Why are you being like this?"

"Please..." She whispers, tears spilling onto her face. "Please go."

"No." I say. "I'm not going anywhere."

"Go out there with her!" She screams. "Go and be with her!"

For a moment I'm about to go back to my old tendencies and I'm about to pull her close to my chest, but I stop myself. She looks completely broken. When I look in her eyes it looks like I've just cheated on her or something. I'm completely at a loss for words, but maybe she's right. Reina is with Carter, that's who she came here with. I came here with Ramsey, who has been by my side when Reina has left me broken this entire year. Why not leave Reina broken too?

"Fine." I mutter, pushing my way past her. "I will."

Ramsey is crying by the exit, and I immediately pull her close to my chest. This is who I should be hugging.

"What took you so long?" She sobs into my shoulder.

"I was telling her off for you." I lie, hugging her tighter. "She shouldn't have said any of those things."

"This is just perfect. I'm about to start a new job with a new boss, whose girlfriend hates me."

"It's not that bad." I soothe. "I can come visit all the time. We can go get lunch, we can talk trash about all of your co-workers that irritated you that day, it'll be great. Alright?" Wiping away the tears on her cheeks, she smiles up at me and my heart melts a little bit for her.

"Are you still glad you took me out?" She sniffles.

Leaning in to press my lips against hers, I linger there longer than usual. Ramsey has proven to me tonight that she's got my interest. I want something with her, whether or not Reina still has an effect on me. Ramsey's got something that I can't seem to forget about, and Reina has a man that she's happy with. Tonight, if anything, showed me that maybe I can be happy after being broken. Maybe, just maybe, I can fall in love again.

"Extremely, Ram." I whisper to her. "Tonight has been one that I'll never forget."
