Twirling in front of the full-length mirror, Claire adjusts her pink lace bra and thong. "You know, {{user}}, it's been a hot minute since we've had some quality time together. I mean, I see you all the time, but never just... like this." She giggles, turning to face him with her hands on her hips. "So, what do you think? Is this too much for tonight?" Claire picks up a red, bodycon dress and holds it against herself. "Or should I go all-out sexy with this one?" Sashaying over to {{user}}, she leans down to pick up a black, lacy number, giving him a clear view of her cleavage. "Oooh, or maybe this one? It's new. I haven't worn it yet." Claire puts on the black dress, turns around, and looks back at {{user}} over her shoulder. "Zip me up, would ya?" She winks. Her bare back is now fully exposed to you, with only a single strap of her lacy pink bra peeking through the unzipped back of the dress. "God, it's been forever since I've had someone to help me get ready for dates. You're like my gay friend, But straight. Just kidding." She laughs. "But hey, I'm serious. It's hard to find guys who can just... be my friend, ya know? Without wanting more. But you're different, {{user}}. You're perfect just the way you are." Pausing, Claire bites her lower lip. "Imagine if... well, never mind that. Wouldn't want to make things awkward between us, now would we?" She smirks, glancing back at you through the mirror. “Now come on, hurry up! Help me zip this up—Blake’s on his way to pick me up!”
"Don't joke about me being gay in public you gonna scare girls that happen to be interested in me. If someone like that will even appear" in zip up her dress
Smacking his shoulder, she laughs. "Oh, stop it! You're not that bad! Anyway," Claire says as he finishes zipping up the dress, "thanks for helping me out tonight. I knew I could count on you." She turns to face the mirror once more and twirls around, admiring her reflection. "There we go... perfect. Now all I need is some makeup and shoes." Claire glances over at Toji F with a sultry smile, "But enough about me. What have you been up to?"
"Oh yeah! You should totally wear these heels!" She pulls out a pair of black stilettos from her closet and holds them out to him. "They'll go great with that dress." Her finger traces along the strap of his hand as she tilts her head to the side, considering. "Or maybe I could just wear these pink heels?" She switches the option between her fingers teasingly before finally giving a playful shove at him. "Decisions, decisions..."
"Or maybe you should just do your own thing and not worry about what anyone else thinks," Toji F suggests with a grin. Claire's laugh is light and airy as she flops down on the bed beside him, resting her head on his shoulder. "You're so understanding sometimes, it's almost infuriating."
"Well, that's just because I am amazing," he replies cheekily. Claire giggles and nudges him with her elbow. "Anyway, have you heard from your agent lately? Are they still looking to get you into Hollywood?" Claire sits up straight and looks at Toji F expectantly, tilting her head to the side as she bites her bottom lip slightly.
"Yes they sometimes did but what it matter if i'm not feeling good on mind lately" i lied on bed
Tilting her head to the side, Claire studies his expression carefully. "You know what they say... 'If you're not feeling it, fake it till you make it.' Just pretend that you're more into it than you are until things start to change. I mean, who wouldn't want to work with someone as amazing as you?" She pauses for a moment and then grins. "Besides, maybe you could use some of my influence to help boost your profile!"
She pats his knee playfully before standing up and heading towards her closet once more. "Alright, let's find those shoes. We don't want Blake to be late." Claire glances back over her shoulder at Toji F, flashing him a flirty smile. "You know how he gets when I'm not ready on time." Her words are laced with suggestiveness as she wriggles her hips just enough to make it clear what she means by 'not ready'.
"Yes i know. Choose your shoes and go already it's taking us forever to get you done" i roll my eyes
Sighing dramatically, Claire pretends to pout as she carefully selects a pair of sky-high heels from her collection. "Fine, fine," she mutters. "I'm coming." With one last wink at Toji F, she heads back over to the bed and slips her petite feet into the sexy stilettos. "There we go... all ready for my night with Mr. Perfect. How do I look?" She spins around in a circle, posing and preening like a peacock, enjoying the feeling of her body moving so effortlessly in the heels.
"Now let's see," she says as she picks up her phone from the bedside table, "I should probably post some pictures of my outfit tonight... Make sure everyone knows how amazing I look." She pauses for a moment and then looks back at Toji F with a sly smile. "Of course, you could always come with me and take some of those 'gram-worthy shots." Her eyebrow arches suggestively as she emphasizes the last word.
"Why should i do that? Blake cloud do that for you" i raise my eyebrow
Chuckling, Claire shakes her head. "Oh, come on, don't be such a party pooper," she teases. "Blake would love it if you came along... Besides, it's not every day I get to spend time with the one and only Toji F." She pouts playfully, batting her eyelashes for effect. "Don't you want to make sure your best friend has a good time?"
Placing a hand on her hip, she tilts her head slightly and narrows her eyes. "Or... maybe you could just be jealous that I get to spend my night with someone else?" Her voice lowers suggestively as she leans in close, breathing warmly against his ear. "I mean, it's not like Blake would mind..." She trails off, leaving the implication hanging in the air between them.
"Would mind what?" i look at her "If you start sentence than end it"
Tilting her head back, Claire lets out a throaty laugh. "Oh, hush now," she says teasingly. "You know exactly what I meant." With a mischievous glint in her eye, she takes his hand and pulls him closer. "Just come with me, have some fun... and who knows? Maybe you'll get lucky tonight." Her words are soft and sensual as she brushes against him, leaving no doubt what she means by 'get lucky'.
"Why don't you say that Blake is great income of popularity for you and open doors in industry but his manhood don't compared to yours Toji" i look at her with smirk
At his words, Claire's cheeks flush slightly and she takes a step back, feeling the sting of his accusation. She crosses her arms over her chest, maintaining eye contact with him as she attempts to regain her composure. "I don't know what you're talking about," she manages to say through clenched teeth. "Blake is perfect for me... and we're very happy together." She pauses, narrowing her eyes. "And just because my old friend here can be a good time doesn't mean I don't appreciate what Blake brings to the table."
Her voice trails off, sounding less confident than before. Part of her wants to keep pushing him away for trying to make her feel this way, but another part is curious about where he's going with this line of thought... and if there might be some truth to it.
"You always says in college it was great time with me warming your bed and that was amazing time spent together" i sit on bed
Her eyes widen, and she takes a quick step back, visibly shaken by his words. "That was... different," she stammers. "We were just having fun then." She tries to laugh it off, but it sounds forced even to her ears. "Anyway, I should probably head out now," she says, her voice wavering slightly as she grabs her clutch from the bedside table. "Thanks for helping me get ready."
With that, she practically rushes out of the room and down the hall towards the elevator, trying to escape his probing questions and accusations. The entire walk seems like an eternity as she wrestles with her emotions, wishing she had never let him make her feel this way.
Before he goes back after her date with Blake i leave her apartment. And don't contact her that that night and few next days
She reaches the elevator, her heart racing and her cheeks burning. He was right, wasn't he? About all of it... About how she always seems to be drawn back to him. And about Blake not being able to compare. The entire ride down, she's lost in a whirlwind of conflicting emotions, barely even registering when the doors slide open and she steps out into the cool night air.
With shaky fingers, Claire pulls out her phone and starts scrolling through social media, hoping to distract herself from the mess that's become her life. She tries to ignore the lingering feeling of unease, but it refuses to leave her alone. As she hails a cab, she can't help but wonder if things will ever be the same between them again... Or if they even should.
A few days later, she accidentally saw Toji having coffee with their former university professor named Laura. A brave woman the last time she saw her. When she saw them, they were already saying goodbye with hugs and when Laura disappeared around the corner, Clarie decided to confront Toji about his relationship with their former professor
As she watches them, her heart drops into her stomach. She can't believe what she's seeing; Toji with another woman... and someone she knows no less. Rage boils up inside her as she storms over to where they were standing. "Toji! What the hell do you think you're doing?" Her voice comes out harsher than she intends, but anger fuels her words.
She tries to catch her breath, trying desperately to regain some sense of composure as she stares daggers at him. "I thought we were friends... I thought you trusted me." Her eyes fill with tears as she takes a step closer, her hands shaking with rage and hurt. "Why would you do this?"
She waits for an answer, but none comes. The silence between them feels heavy and oppressive, making the situation even more unbearable. She finally looks away, unable to meet his gaze any longer, her heart shattering into a million pieces right before her eyes.
