"Passion is the quickest to develop, and the quickest to fade. Intimacy develops more slowly, and commitment more gradually still." - Robert Sternberg

Lincoln didn't know when it happened. He never expected the fuck buddies dynamic to ever change. An arrangement like that was a sturdy foundation. You knew where you stood and it was a sure thing. You didn't have to worry about things like love, romance, getting a relationship right, knowing how not to fuck it up. He had witnessed those things with other people and he had never gotten to the point where he was sure it looked like something he wanted to bother with.

( Now all of a sudden, in the wake of a hell of a lot of shit that hit people he loved around him, he was looking at things in a skewed way well out of his comfort zone... )

"Have you ever done a media junket on E?" Sam has to know better but after a little prodding he lets her drop the little white pill on his tongue.

By the time the limo slows to a stop, they are both rolling hard. Nikki manages to get out of the car with a little grace but Sam forgets to take his seatbelt off first and ends up half dangling like a broken marionette. Nikki roars with laughter as the driver nudges her aside to help detangle him. And since it was a MEDIA junket, most major music magazines and blogs were there snapping their pictures. One of the photographers from VH1 even asks if he was on something but he is drowned out by the other photographers shouting for Sam to look their way.

"You were laughing." He pouts when he gets to her side.

"Yeah but you would have laughed too if you were me." Nikki chuckles taking his arm.

Sam can't keep the pout going and starts to laugh a little. "I would have boobs if I were you."

Nicole cracks up again. "You would have the BEST boobs."

He reaches over and literally murmurs "honk" as he gives her a left breast a little grope. She starts laughing so hard he is the only thing keeping her up.
