that awkward moment.

"That makes a lot more sense. I'm sure that, if they did have kids or other relatives, they would have passed the key down to each generation. Imagine that. Your family is the only one who can get into a place like this. That would be really awesome." Arielle smiled at the thought. She wished that she had a place like that. Sure, she had places back home that she went to if she wanted to be alone and stuff, but that was usually the beach, or the playground at her old elementary school. Both were public places. This wasn't public. This was private. A place where, if someone wanted to, they could be completely and utterly alone. Or, they could share it with the people closest to them. And she wasn't able to do either of those things. It was kind of a bummer really.

Zayn let go not very long after she reached her high. With a cry of her name, and a few more slow, lazy, thrusts, he pulled out and rolled off of her and onto his back. He stared up at the ceiling for a few moments, his breath coming out in pants as he attempted to slow and his pounding heart. Once he had relaxed a bit, he wrapped his arms loosely around her tiny waist. He pulled her body closer to his, and pressed a soft kiss to her bare shoulder. "You're amazing." He mumbled against her soft skin.

Harry nodded his head, "it would be pretty cool." He said as he looked around, he knew his family didn't have anything like this in it, but it would've been cool if they did. And he was sure had the last owners had any kids or family to pass this down to that's what would've happened. Because was sure that if he had something like this passed down in his family he'd want to keep it that way. This place was pretty much a place of total seclusion. And there were times when everyone wanted that one place they could just be utterly alone. Sometimes things just got so overwhelming that being alone to just let everything out was best and this would be the best place for that. "I don't think I ever wanna lose this key." He said not entirely sure how they'd even go about returning it anyways but thinking about it now he didn't really want to.

---

Sage let her own breathing calm and laid there with a smile, "why thank you." She told him, "you're not half bad yourself." She teased. Zayn was amazing honestly, and so of course she was just messing with him like she always did. Which was one thing she'd probably never stop doing, but she wouldn't want it any other way. If she couldn't tease Zayn only to have him have some kind of sassy comeback where she could reply with her own sassy comeback she wasn't sure what she'd do. It kept things interesting with them they way they teased one another about everything almost. It was just part of who they were.

"It would be a shame to let a place like this not be used at all..." Arielle started, glancing around at the gorgeous park once more before looking back to him. She had a feeling that they were both thinking the exact same thing: that they might never actually go about returning the key. She doubted that the real estate lady had realized that the key was even missing yet, and whenever she did, it wasn't like Harry had given either of their real names. Plus London was a huge city and there were more important crimes that needed to be dealt with than a stolen key to a secluded park.

---

Zayn chuckled softly. "Not half bad?" He asked, raising an eyebrow. "Not half bad? I bloody call you amazing, and that's all I get? Well I see how it is." He expected sassy comments like this from Sage. It was just how things had always been with them. One comment after another with the two of them constantly going back and fourth. Usually Harry or Liam would tell them to shut up eventually if they got tired of the seemingly continuous banter. Of course, that was only when it was the whole lot of them. Zayn had always liked to hang out just him and Sage sometimes. Even before whatever this was that was going on had started happening. She was one of his best mates, and he always felt like he could confide in her. No matter what.

[Would you want to continue this? ]

[ why sure! ]

"Yes it would." Harry said nodding his head, a place like this needed to be used by someone. Sure the place was secluded for a reason, and he was sure that whoever had originally decided on the idea to put a fence around it so people couldn't get in unless they had the key and were invited by people with said key might've had a good thing going this place needed someone to use it. And that house hadn't been lived in in forever, so really Harry saw no harm in them taking and keeping the key for themselves. It wasn't like this was the worst crime that they could commit, or even something that would make it to the top of the pile in a pile of crimes to be looked into. Hell Harry would put money on the lady not even noticing the key was gone, or thinking it'd just been misplaced over the years and not thinking anything else of it.

"Oh I'm sorry did I bruise your ego?" Sage asked in her sympathetic voice holding his cheek in her hand trying not to laugh. "You were amazing too I promise." She told him a moment later in her normal voice, not joking around about it or anything. There relationship wouldn't really be the same if they didn't joke around with one another. If there was no banter, no jokes, and just dull conversations that resulted in silence after like ten minutes tops then there relationship would bore her. Plus it wouldn't be them. They were always like this with one another, and just because they were apparently adding some benefits to there friendship didn't mean how they were with one another had to change.

"So we shouldn't let that happen then." Arielle looked over to him, smiling. They had the key now, and they'd have to sneak back into that house if they wanted to give it back, so what if they just didn't give it back? What if they actually put the key and this park to good use? Someone was here taking care of it, so why not actually have someone use it? "I mean, I might share it with you..." She added, grinning slightly.

---

Zayn scoffed playfully, swatting her hand away. "You're just saying that to make me feel better." He said, shaking his head. He was only joking with her though obviously. He knew that she'd only been joking with him, and being her usual sassy self. It was just what they did best. Joking around with each other. He just didn't think that things would be the same between them if they weren't joking around. Their relationship was built upon laughter and ragging on each other, so if they just stopped with it altogether randomly, it would be really strange.

"I couldn't agree more." Harry told her believing that this place should be used by someone, it was a total waste for it not to be used. And well now that they had the key he wasn't about to risk taking the thing back. Even if it might've possibly been the right thing to do or whatever, he didn't really care that much. "Oh you might share it with me? Really?" He said laughing some, "I think the both of us using it sounds like a much better idea than you hogging it." He told her grinning himself, he was sure that she would share the place with him if he asked her too anyways, after all she wouldn't have even known about it or have the key to get here if he hadn't told her about it and then of course helped her take the key.

---

"So what if I am," Sage said shrugging her shoulders, "you know you still love me." She told him with a wink, and she didn't mean in the in love kind of love, but more the 'we've been best friends since university and you wouldn't know what to do without me kind of love.' And that was how she felt about him too, she wasn't in love with him. Or at least she didn't know she was in love with him yet, they were best friends with benefits on occasion she supposed. They hadn't really discussed well anything about what was going on really, the only thing she was certain of was that they'd just had sex and it was pretty amazing sex and they were both okay with it. As far as where that left them or what would happen next she didn't really know.

"Well, lets see how the rest of this date goes, and then I'll decide whether or not your worthy of me sharing it with you." Arielle said, a slight grin tugging at the corners of her lips. So far, things were going great, and she honestly glad that she'd given him a second chance. Maybe he wasn't such a narcissistic asshole after all. From what she could tell, he was actually a decent guy, and this was kind of the most fun she'd had on a date in a really long time. Not that she'd admit to that just yet. Maybe she would later on, but not right away. She didn't want to jinx it or anything like that.

---

"Yeah, whatever you say." Zayn said, scoffing playfully. They were only teasing each other, and he knew it. That was how their relationship had always been. Up until recently, he'd only really ever considered Sage a best friend, but now things were clearly different. He didn't know whether or not he should label what they had though. They'd never actually spoken about it before. They kind of just let whatever it was happen, and that was it. He supposed it was just a friends with benefits type of thing, though it wasn't one that he'd actually told the lads about either.
