Quinn's pov


*Five years ago**

"Another one please," I push my glass towards the mixologist that is trying to impress drunkards with his skills.

"Quiny..." I turn to find my sister, Meg together with my cousin, Leo. I groan. Ryan had convinced me that i wouldn't run into someone i know at this club.

"I had to find out from the papers that my brother was back. Where have you been hiding for those months?" She takes the stool beside me as Leo is left standing.

We had a normal relationship, we barely hugged, kept in touch. I cared for her, just sucked at showing it. On the other hand, Meg, having spent most of her time away from home as punishment for her rebellious behavior. That did her more good than harm, she was never shy at expressing herself, she lived her life to the fullest and the influence of our toxic parents never affected her.

"I haven't been hiding. I have just been busy."

"Heard Dad threatened to cut you off if you didn't come back and study business to take over the empire."

That was true but the main reason I came back was because of Theo. I wanted to be present in his life.

"What are you doing here?" I change the topic.

"Can't a sister bond with her little brother?" She says and orders her drink.

My eyes wander to where Ryan is deejaying. This is his doing. Instead they fall on something or rather someone. She is phenomenal, undeniably beautiful. She is in a red bare back dress that hangs just above her knees. I must say red is my new favorite color. She is drinking alone. Are the men in this club blind?

"Oh mama mia...she is stunning." I find Meg's eyes trained on the girl of my desire. "I will be on the dancing floor if you need me. Let us not be your cockblockers." She tags Leo along with her. I turn back to look at the girl in red, the spot she occupied is empty, I anxiously look around to get a glimpse of her again. She has disappeared.

"Hey handsome?" A feminine voice speaks behind me. I turn to find unfamiliar face smiling at me. She is cute and wasted. "Don't I know you from somewhere?" She asks and staggers forward. I wish she could just disappear I find my girl in red.

"There you are." A girl I assume is her friend joins us. "Forgive my friend she becomes overly social when drunk...wait you look familiar." She twirls her hair flirty and bats her long eyelashes. I then realise this is how they hunt.

Someone save me.

"You bastard!" Not another one. Another voice joins. I swivel my head ready to tell off the other girl but my mouth is left hanging when I come face to face with the girl in red. Something flashes in her eyes, she is quick to mask it before I can understand it. And before I know it, her hand goes flying to my cheek. What the fuck!

"This is where you spend my money. I work all day as you sit in front of a Tv doing nothing. At night you come to this clubs to entertain this girls.." She turns to the two girls. The 'drunk' one is now sober, it was just a tactic to them. "Do you know he suffers from erectile dysfunction? He can't get it up even with help of the blue pills."

The people around us turn to stare at her and pitifully at me. Is this girl trying to sabotage me so that I could never get laid again?

"Oh my God it must be tough." One of the girls says.

The girl in red sniffs. "It is...but I love him so much." She is a good actor and liar.

"You are too hot to be stuck in a loveless and sexless relationship." The girl answers, she picks my glass on the counter. "Bastard." She pours it on me and leaves with her friend. I didn't do anything wrong. They are the ones that approached me.

"Erectile Dysfunction, really?" I turn to the girl in red.

"I just saved you from two scammers."

"Save me? Now half the club thinks I have ED."

"Were you hoping to get lucky tonight?" She sits down.

"Yeah!" I don't hesitate to answer.

"Don't give up yet, you might."

Where did this girl come from? She is opposite of Misha.

"You are crazy you know?"

She touches her earrings, I am not an expert in women jewelry but I can tell those gold earrings are worth a lot which intrigues me more. Who is she?

"I am just a girl with an agenda."

"Girl with agenda, what is your name?"

Her eyes lock with mine, "Call me Cara."


*
Present day

I seal the envelope with the gold earrings. I should have believed her when she said she was a girl with an agenda. The first night I saw her, I honestly wanted to pursue her, court her and know her deeply.

She was everything Misha wasn't. She was wild, risk taker and naive. I loved it after what Misha had put me through I didn't need anyone that resembled her or what she stood for. And Cara was that until she came up with the ridiculous idea of a Booty Call. I get it relationships can be hectic and messy but only a desperate person would want such an agreement or a person with an agenda. I didn't think much into it, I just wanted to see her again spent time with her. However, as time went by I knew nothing fruitful like a relationship, would come out of it and slowly I tucked my feelings and intentions I had for her until I no longer felt that initial desire I held for her. She had no interest in opening up, she was a closed book. When it came it her I knew her name and her favorite sexual position.

Despite all of that she always aroused my cock and that is where all it ended.

I scribble her name and new address on the envelope though she still hasn't moved in to the new apartment I bought for her. Satisfied I stand and glance at my reflection. Today is my wedding day. The day I say I do and live the rest of my life fulfilling that vow. I am neither happy nor sad. If this was the traditional type of wedding where the couple are head in love with each other I would be over the moon. Just like with Cara this is an agreement the only difference this is profitable.

Courtney is safe. We have known each other our entire life and we somehow share some beliefs. She doesn't believe in love. She says love is for the poor because it is the only thing they can afford. I may not use the same words but at this point I find love a bit overrated. Our union will benefit both of us. I will give Theo a complete family and with it comes merged businesses which is a way to secure his future too.

There is a knock on the door, Ryan walks in with a pair of cufflinks on his palms. He is my best man.

"It is time,bruh."

I extend my hands as he helps me with the cufflink.

"I still can't believe this happening, over the weeks as we spoke about it we thought of it as just a theory yet here you are."

"Here I am." I answer absent-minded.

He nervously touches the back of his neck, "What about Cara?"

"What about her?" I adjust my bow tie.

"Are you over her?"

"What we had was just physical, you can pursue her no hard feelings."

"She rejected me."

"You gave up too soon." I feel hypocritical saying those words because deep down I wish he doesn't pursue her. I want to forget her and Ryan going after her means I will always see her and wonder what it would have been if she never came up with that booty call agreement or lied to me.

Lee and Jermaine walk in.

"It is time." Lee says.

"Time to sign your jail sentence." Jermaine adds.

"Let's go." I say.
