Chapter 60 - Out On A Date

On the other side of town, in one of the fancy restaurants, another couple was enjoying a very romantic date. Most of their dates were usually lively and fun, just like the way they liked it. Today was no exception.

Until, a phone message interrupted their conversation, upon looking at his phone, he knew he had no choice but to answer it.

It was a message that one of his associates just sent him about a very important client. He usually did not want to bring work when he was out on a date, but this was something he could not avoid.

"Hey, Marcus." She finally decided to kick him under the table to get his attention.

She called him several times, but he kept making her wait. She never liked to be taken for granted. She was not exactly known for her patience too.

"Sorry, it is a very important client. Promise, it won\'t happen again." He finally looked up from his phone and stared at her.

He knew that she had every right to get irritated. It was him who suggested the rule that whenever they were on a date, no one should bring work to the table. He was the one breaking his rule.

"I have something to ask you." She straightened in her chair after kicking him and decided to change the topic. This was something that was bothering her since she left her apartment and she wanted some answers.

He finally placed his phone back in his breast pocket and looked at his date. "Fine, Jacky. What is it?" He knew that once Jacky wanted to ask a question, it meant interrogation. He believed that Jacky should change her career from an assistant to a detective or something.

But that was what attracted him to her. She was not afraid to ask whatever was in her mind. She was bold and had a very strong personality. He enjoyed their endless banters and her unending questions. But most of all, she was not demanding. Just like him, she just wanted to enjoy the moment.

They had been dating for a while now. Well, they were not actually what you would call a couple since they were not committed to each other. They still went out with other dates.

They enjoyed each other\'s company but not enough to make a lasting commitment. They were not looking for love and certainly nothing involving a relationship. They simply called themselves friends with benefits.

"Do you think, my friend is safe with your friend?" She was still not sure about Alex.

She barely knew the man except for the few things she read about him. Although everything seemed to be fine, she could sense that there was something about him that did not seem right. She believed that he was keeping something and Marcus was in it too.

Dani was a strong individual just like her, but she was afraid that she might not be prepared for what she had gotten herself into. Dani was tough when it came to her work, but when it came to her emotions, she wore her heart on her sleeves was a better explanation.

"Don\'t worry, Alex is very different from me. He is the best guy I ever knew. Dani is quite safe with him. On the other hand, it is me who worries about my friend being with yours." Marcus countered.

His friend was a gentle giant. Could not hurt a fly even if he wanted to? He acted tough most of the time, but he was always been a big softy. He always had to protect Alexander from the people who would take advantage of him.

Not that Alex could not handle himself. But there are times that he wished to give more than necessary. Like his friend, he was not about to let people walked over him because he was a nice guy. He was there as his wingman and he would always protect his interest.

"Yeah, you\'re right. I probably was worrying over nothing." Although she still had her doubts, she could not do anything but support her friend for her decision to get involved with Alex\'s plans.

"I\'m sure they will figure this out," Marcus assured her. He could not do anything else but stood by his friend\'s decision. Although he too was confused why Alex chose Dani over all the other girls that were lined up for him.

"Tell your friend that if he ever hurt my friend, I will be the one he would be answering to." She warned Marcus. That was the only thing she could do for now for her friend.

"I doubt that it will ever happen, but it is more likely that it will be the other way around," Marcus stated confidently, not at all fazed by her statement.

He knew his friend. He would never just use Dani without a solid reason. If ever they entered this agreement, he made sure that everything was black and white. Both parties knew what to expect of the arrangement and the other party was well compensated for her participation.

"Anyway, what do you think is happening now at their fake date?" Jacky voiced out her curiosity.

"They are probably just talking about their situation. Getting to know more about each other. Making some arrangements on how they would proceed." Marcus shifted his attention back to her. "Speaking of arrangements."

"What do you want?" She already knew that Marcus was about to ask something from her from the way her eyes were twinkling with excitement. Something that she was beginning to know about him.

"Well, Alex\'s birthday is this weekend. I am invited to attend. I was wondering if you will be my plus one. I figured since Dani will surely come with him, it will be easy for you to go along with her too." Marcus took her hand and started kissing it.

"I still have to ask my boss." She teased him, enjoying the sweet ministration he was doing with her hand.

"I\'m sure that will be an easy yes," Marcus said confidently. "Do you want to get out of here?" Marcus took out some bills and leave them on the table as he assisted her out of her chair.

Back in his car, he quickly attacked her lips, unable to control himself any further. His hands started to travel down her body as it started to explore.

This was one of the reasons that they still wanted to keep in touch. They might not be into a relationship but their chemistry in bed was certainly something interesting. It was wild and unforgettable.

"Your place or mine?" He asked, stopping before they went too far.

"Yours." She suggested, not wanting to bring Marcus to Dani\'s apartment.

She was sure that after this fake date, Dani would be home, sleeping early. She did not want to disturb her by bringing Marcus or any other guy into her apartment.

As Marcus started the car and moved it in the direction of his apartment, she could not help but think of her friend. "What could they be doing right now?" She mused loudly. Thinking of the two who were not exactly out on a date.
