Pete Wentz & Ashlee Simpson Started Off As 'Friends With Benefits'!

Persistence paid off for Pete Wentz's relationship with Ashlee Simpson!

"I was in the 'friend zone' with her for a good solid year," he told L.A. radio station 98.7 Tuesday. "I spent a long time in the 'friend zone.'"

"I'd be calling her and following her around like a puppy dog," he said about courting his pregnant fiancee before they started dating officially in 2006.

Simpson clarified during the radio interview that they were "friends with benefits" – but they got along right away.

"The first time we really hung out she flashed me," Wentz recalled.

"I lifted my dress over my head," Simpson joked.

The couple announced their engagement in April and Usmagazine broke news that Simpson is expecting their first child.

"I get a look [from her] every time I don't say fiancee," Wentz said.

The couple will wed in a small ceremony at a "top secret" location this Saturday, a source told Us.
