Waking up I immediately remember where I am. 

I always find it weird when a girl wakes up at a guys house and is like, 'what's this heavy things resting on my stomach.' Like how I can forget the way River feels holding me?

A smile takes over my face as I feel him place a soft kiss to my neck. 

The butterflies in my stomach are doing a happy dance right now. 

I now understand why River is so secluded, his whole life he was forgotten about. 

He's always been pretty unforgettable to me. 

I go to turn around and kiss him before remembering I haven't brushed my teeth yet this morning. 

"What?" River asks his arms stiff around me. 

Oh no he thinks I don't want to kiss him. 

I sit up on the bed holding a hand over my mouth, "Morning breath." I mumble and he laughs. 

My jaw drops, "Are you laughing at me right now?" I ask and he shakes his head. 

"I need to brush my teeth." I say as he tries to pull me down to him. 

He sighs, "There is a spare toothbrush in the cupboard above the sink." He says and I hurriedly get off the bed and rush to the bathroom.

I brush my teeth and fix up my hair before heading back into the room. 

Plopping down on the bed beside him I grab his face in my hands tugging his lips to mine. 

He tastes like strawberries, what the heck.

"Why do you taste like strawberries?" I ask against his lips. 

He smiles, "I ate breakfast earlier."

I pull back slightly to look at him, "Without me?"

"You were sleeping, I didn't want to wake you." he says and my heart flutters. 

I guess I can forgive him. 

I kiss him again, throwing my leg over his waist and straddling him. 

His hands slide up my thighs and around to their rightful place on my waist. 

I need to see this man shirtless. 

My hands glide down his body and to the hem of his shirt, then they move back up taking his shirt with them.

I break the kiss simply to look down. 

Oh wow. 

I watch his toned stomach rise and fall from breathing heavy. 

We both watch as my fingers trace his six pack. 

"Do you work out?" I ask my mind focused on how he shivers under my touch. 

"Every Tuesday." He says, his voice hoarse. 

"Cool." I say and one of his hands finds the back of my head, guiding my lips back up to his. 

His fingers tug on my hair lightly as I feel his tongue slip past the seem of my lips. 

He groans into my mouth and that sound alone sends butterflies rushing even lower than my stomach. 

I kiss down his jaw and down his neck. 

I don't have time to think about whether or not I am doing is wrong when it just feels so right. 

When I suck on his neck he groans, "Ava baby, you're killing me." He says. 

I look up at him, "Do you want me to stop?" He shakes his head. 

Then his arms wrap around me, flipping us over. 

He's above me now, my hands on his biceps. 

His lips find my neck and I let out a whimper. 

My phone rings and I instantly know it's Desiree. 

We have a fitting today for show we are doing in two weeks. 

"I have to go." I say, my hands gripping his shoulders. 

He bites my shoulder lightly, "No you don't." 

I feel him pressed hard against my leg. 

If I didn't have to be there I would just cancel and spend the day in bed with River, doing whatever he wanted with me. 

Sadly if I don't make it to this meeting and I am not deathly sick I will probably be fired. Ana is still watching us since the launch party incident. 

I pull his head up and place a kiss on his lips before pulling away. 

"Can I come back after my meeting?" I ask.

He nods, "You can be here whenever you want."

Smiling I give him one last kiss before getting up.

I go into the bathroom and change back into my dress before heading out. 

When I arrive at the meeting Dez gives me a knowing look. 

I was wearing the same dress last night and I didnt come home. 

'We didn't do anything.' I mouth to her and she quirks and eyebrow, 'Liar.' She mouths back.

The fitting goes by and after that Dez tries to grill me on what happened. When I tell her everything that happened minus River and I's conversation she frowns. 

"That's it? I wanted to hear some sex deets." She complains. 

I raise an eyebrow, "Why not just ask Ash?"

Dez rolls her eyes, "That girl would have to leave her apartment complex in order to get some."

I put my bag down on the table. 

We just walked down to the grill for a late lunch. 

The fitting went a little long and it's already four in the afternoon. 

"Maybe she's content with being in her apartment alone with her cat and books." I offer. 

She gives me a pointed look, "Did you hear what you just said? Everything about that sentence is wrong especially when you are referring to a twenty one year old single woman in California."

I shrug unwrapping my sandwich, "If she's happy with it then why shouldn't we be?" I ask. 

"That's not the point. The point is if she keeps this up she'll end up being some old cat woman who dies in her house because her bookshelf fell on top of her, and when her neighbors finally notice and call the cops all she is, is bone because her stupid cats ate her."

I set my sandwich down and blink at her. 

"Why is that so specific?" I ask and Dez groans, "I have had a lot of time to think ok. I too am single. You know out of the three of us you are the only one who isn't single and yet I can't live vicariously through you because all you and River do is cheesy romantic stuff."

I swallow the bite of food, "What's so wrong with that?"

"Do you want to have sex with him?" She asks and my cheeks heat up. 

She points a finger at me, "You so do want to get jiggy with him. What's stopping you?"

I shrug taking another bite. 

Of course I have thought about it but I have also thought about how I know nothing about it. 

I am completely inexperienced and I honestly don't want to make a fool out of myself in front of River. 

"Well if it's nerves, crush them. River is enthralled with you. He probably would just love being with you. You're not going to get scored on how well you perform." She says wiggling her eyebrows. 

I shake my head, "This is like the worst place to have this conversation." I say as we sit in the middle of a public place where people eat. 

"Fine but only because I want to eat and then get back to the apartment. A new episode of cake wars is on tonight." 

We finish eating and head to the apartment. 

I pack a bag for River's place and then drive down there. 

When I was at the apartment I changed into a pair of shorts and a t shirt. 

I get up to his apartment and knock. 

Just like yesterday he opens the door in sweats, except now...

He's shirtless.
