*Jason's P.O.V*

I woke up to the smell of lavender, and the warmth of the sun grazing my face. As I slowly opened my eyes, and focused on my surroundings, I realized I hadn't slept in my room. I turned to my side and noticed Rexy sleeping soundly next me. I laid there confused until the memories of last night replayed in mind.

The more I thought about it, the more annoyed I felt. I couldn't believe how much trash there was in the world.

I looked over at Rexy's face and smiled at the blissful way she looked as she slept. Slowly I got off the bed, making sure not to wake her. As soon as I successfully crept out of her room and closed the door behind me, I felt a vibration in my pocket. Pulling out my phone, I noticed a bunch of text messages from my best friend/coworker:

John: Good morning asshole, don't forget about the meeting today.

John: Heeeellllooooooo

John: Jason? Wake up!

John: Seriously where are you?! Our Meeting with Mr.Alcala is starting soon, get your ass over here quick!

John: I'm seriously gonna beat the crap out of you when I see you!

"Fuck!"

I ran to my room, got dressed, and wrote a note for Rexy before I rushed to the office.

*Rexy's P.O.V*

I stretched my body as far as I could on the bed, not wanting to get up. I laid there and realized I had woken up to an empty bed.

I moved my hand and lightly grazed the pillow Jason had slept on, remembering the warmth of his arms when he helped me.

I decided to get up and thank him again, but as I walked around, I realized I had not only woken up to an empty bed, but an empty house as well. I sighed and walked to the kitchen, surprised to find a sticky note for me on the fridge

Good morning! Sorry I couldn't have breakfast with you, overslept and completely forgot about an important meeting I had today. We should go out to eat tonight though. Let me know where, when I get home from work.
- Jason -

I looked around and saw no dirty dishes or any sign that the kitchen had been used.

I guess he didn't have time to even eat a quick breakfast himself.

I showered, matched a fitted white v-neck with burgundy cardigan, some skinny jeans and my ankle boots and headed out the door.

John and I walked into my office, glad the meeting ended well.

"I'm glad that deal didn't end up in a disaster, your dad would've killed you. Seriously Jason,  you seemed pretty distracted today, anything bothering you?"

With John being my best friend, it was obvious that he knew the whole situation with Rexy, my dad, and my inheritance. As cheesy as it sounds, I felt like he was one of the very few people I could really talk to.
