Karenza (Pov)

Beep beep beep beeeeeeeep my alarm screams at me. I feel around for it peeking over the cover 11 am already I just fell asleep, I glare at the device in front of me as yells menacingly.

Slowly I slip out of the heaven of my blankets and stretch after taking a quick shower and dressing. I make my way downstairs and prepare breakfast and aspirin. I leave a tray by Josie's desk and go through to Jake's room and he's sprawled all over the bed in boxers to be honest I'm no longer surprised I place his tray down and grab the covers and pull them over him.

"Thanks Renz," mumbles " hey can you do me a favour," he says eyes still shut

"Let's hear it," I answer in a whisper tempted to yell in his face

"See that brown envelope take it to the Nick's company building for me please and make sure you give it to him personally it's really important," I narrow my eyes at him even though his are shut, demanding much but being the awesome kind soul I am I agree. I can get groceries on the way back home

Just before leaving I see his phone on the ground without a lock. I pick it up setting an alarm for twenty minutes singing barbie girl at the loudest volume. I am so dead but its so worth it I place the phone under his pillow he grumbles I rush out the house and into my VW Polo.

I drive off humming to 'Locked Away' I find a parking space a few blocks away. I actually found a parking space in New York so proud of myself after basking in my momentary self glory I get out and walk into the building and up to reception the girl sitting there is wearing a very showy top what happened to decency.

"Who are you," she asks rudely

"I have to deliver this to Nick Riodai," I answer in a monotone

"Leave it there." She says not looking at me probably on Facebook

"I have to deliver it personally or I'm not leaving," I reply straight out she gives me a disgusted look its mutual trust me

She picks up a phone tapping a number

"Hello Mr Riodai there's some girl down here she says there's something she has to deliver personally," she looks over at me "What's your name," she demands

"Karenza," I reply shortly looking around at the immaculate walls and the intricate designs on the roof

"You can go up top floor third right down the first corridor," I nod and enter the elevator pressing the button. I reach top floor and cautiously exit the elevator there are people on phones, scribbling notes, tapping on computers or rushing around they are all dressed in formal suits and skirts and then there's me in faded jeans and a shirt that says 'happiness is life' well this is awkward.

I keep my head down and follow the instructions I was given until I come acroos a door that says Nick Riodai in gold plated letters I knock Elsa you there

"Come in," says a serious voice that is not Elsa I enter he glances up
"Oh it's you," well hey to you to

"Yes its me geez show some enthusiasm," I mock huff I see the ghost of a smile cross his lips he's all dressed in a black suit with a crisp with shirt his hair is combed back his blue green eyes meet mine

"I know I'm hot Karenza," he smirks I roll my eyes and snigger he looks confused
"What's so funny," he asks

"Oh nothing here Jake told me to give you this," I place the envelope on his desk he looks at it

"Why he was too hungover to do it himself," I grin remembering the prank. I check the time one minute to go I place my phone on the table who looks between it and me.

"Three...two...one," it's starts buzzing his name comes across the screen I swallow my laughter putting on speaker.

"Karenza you stupid dipstick of a fudger what the hell do you think you were doing you are dead!" he yells I sit down laughing hard "You better not be laughing because this is not funny," he scolds me I pull myself together

"Um I guess you're wide awake from your imagination," I choke out

"I hate you so much," he grumbles

"I love you to Jakey see you soon," I cut off still recovering. Yes I am incredibly childish

I look up to see giving me an incredulous look I shrug and get up "Well then Mr Riodai I'm gonna go now," I smile he stares at his laptop well you could at least look at me rude much

"Right," he says in a monotone I exit making way down the corridor and past the businessy people feeling self-conscious

I get into the elevator pressing the button because I'm special I start humming the teenage mutant ninja turtles theme song to myself.

After getting out I go and do the grocery shopping its funny how I started off with a list of maybe five things and I come out with four full bags. Oh My Jeebus I'm turning into my mum.

I arrive home and get in and place the plastic bags on the breakfast bar table arms squeeze my stomach making me choke

"Jake let me go," he puts me over his shoulder I knew it was going to be bad but seriously this is just

"What was that?" he asks casually eating an apple

"Put me down," I slap his back

"Now why on earth would I do that that would be stupid," he's mad maybe the barbie song went a bit too far. It was worth his reaction

"Jake put her down," Josie comes down the stairs dressed in a blue sundress and white sandals her brown hair is straightened out he drops me on the couch and looks at me maybe more of a You-Are- Dead look.

"This is only the beginning Renz," I stick out my tongue he walks away up the stairs to get ready for work

Josie shakes her head with a smile "You should have heard him this morning," she suddenly burst out into laughter which I end up joining

"So are you at Dr'd practice," she asks eating frosties yes we are all adults with a love for frosties and coco pops

"No day off can you believe it Jose next week I'll be a full fledged Dr," I beam happily she smiles

"Almost there," she says through her last mouthful of cereal," she grabs her purse and hauls me off the seat "Come to my shoot we'll find something to do straight after," well might as well.

Jake comes down the stairs transformed from the immature childish adult to the serious business CEO man

"I'm impressed Jakey," Josie says voicing my thoughts he rolls his eyes

"Do you two need a ride anywhere," he asks fastening his watch

"Yeah I have a photo shoot," Josie says he looks over at me giving me slight evils

"And you," he says OK then feeling the love

"I'm just going along," we all leave together
