Vivian's POV
"…And then he goes maybe one of the secretaries misplaced it while looking directly at me," Amy growled, cutting herself off by shoving a spoonful of ice cream into her mouth. Vivian made an angry sound on her behalf, quickly swallowing her pizza in order to speak up.
"The nerve of him. What a foul intern," Amy nodded enthusiastically, but then her shoulders slumped.
"Do you know what is worse?" Vivian shook her head.
"The law firm will probably be hiring him. They know he is lying, but because he is doing it so masterfully, that is a point in his favour. So one day that little weasel will most likely be my boss," Vivian's shoulders slumped too, and she put her pizza down, her appetite gone.
Just as she thought she was preparing herself to comfort her friend while she cried. Amy suddenly straightened, holding her spoon as though it were a knife she stabbed into the air, making Vivian jump.
"One day I am going to be so rich that I'll be able to afford that law firm ten times over, and I will make that intern pay," Stabbing the air with the spoon again. Amy nodded as though she had just made a solemn promise.
"I have no idea how, or when, but that day is coming," She swore, her face serious, a hand over her heart. Not seeming to realize how scary she was being. Amy suddenly turned to Vivian, a big smile on her face.
"Enough about me, is there anything going on in your world?" Never in her life had Vivian thought she would be scared of a woman wielding a spoon, but seeing Amy twirl the utensil between her fingers before dipping it into her ice cream again. She decided that the best thing she could do was to change the subject quickly. So without wasting any more time, she jumped straight into the biggest thing that had happened to her.
"Ryan Terrell came to see me,"
"What?" Amy cried. The spoon falling from her mouth and into her ice cream.

"Vivian, that is great. That means that he must have really enjoyed the time that you two spent together. So how was your second time?" Choosing not to tell her friend that it actually would have been somewhere around the fifth or sixth time. Vivian shook her head.
"We did not have sex. The man did not come to have more fun with me. Well, actually he did. It is just that I did not like what else came of that,"
Amy's eyebrows vanished into her hairline.
"Wait, was it some sort of freaky thing where he brought other people into the picture and asked if you were interested?" Vivian shook her head.
"As creepy as that would have been, in a way it would have been way better than what actually happened," Leaning forward in her seat. Her spoon once again clutched like a weapon. Amy urged Vivian to continue.
"What did he want that was so horrible?" Closing her box of pizza and bringing her knees up to her chest. Vivian felt a shudder go through her before finally answering her friend.
"He wanted to sleep with me and he also threw an envelope of money at me to pay me for my services like I am some sort of gold digger," Remembering the encounter Vivian found herself getting angry again.
"Can you believe it? He thinks just because he has way more zeros to his name than I will ever see in my lifetime. It gives him the right to treat me like I am a gold digger. Who does he even think he is?" Looking over at her friend Vivian expected to find Amy nodding along with her, completely on her side. What she did not expect was to have to dodge quickly, tilting her body to the side in order to avoid being hit by a cushion.
"Hey! What was that for?" She asked staring at her friend in shock.

"I cannot believe that you, Vivian Rose, out of all the people in the world are my best friend.
How could you have made such a dumb decision?" Grabbing the cushion that had been thrown at her. Vivian aimed it at Amy and took her shot.
The other woman catching it mid air and trying to hit Vivian with it once again.
Angrier than she had been when the conversation had started. Vivian grabbed the cushion again and threw it.
"I am sorry if my having standards is a problem for you Amy," Holding the cushion up clearly about to throw it again. Amy suddenly lowered it then she gave Vivian a look like she was the most pitiful creature on the planet.
"Vivian did you even hear yourself?" Staring at her friend, the preschool teacher could not believe her ears.
"Of course I heard myself. I just told you that Ryan Terrell offered me money for sex and I turned him down. Now you are angry at me instead of at him," Burying her face in the cushion, Amy let out a scream. Only then did she raise her head and look at Vivian again.
"Vivian, the man who gave you the best sex you've had in ages came to proposition you again and you kicked him out,"
" What was I supposed to do when he was trying to treat me like a prostitute?" Rubbing at her forehead, Amy looked at her like she was dumb.
"Did it even occur to you to tell the man that you would be willing to sleep with them without the money?"
Oh.
All of her anger leaving her Vivian was left feeling stunned. She had been so angry back then that she hadn't even thought of that. Suddenly feeling like she was about to burst into tears. Vivian looked over at her friend.
" Amy, I had the chance to have good dick again and I wasted it. What am I going to do?"
