"Of course I told them everything! From your dick size to the type of coffee you drink in the morning,"
Johnny and Ash have been cursing each other out with their aggressive humor since before they can remember. And when Jonathan becomes a widow wi...

I lay down in my bedroom and place the black rectangle about the size of a screen phone on my lap.
I look at the back to see Peter's Grayson tech logo and feel a small twinge of guilt. I left him to be head of the company without the slightest warning. I'm sure he'll be fine but he probably hates me right now.
I touch the fingerprint scanner and it initializes.
The light displays a touch screen holograph in front of me that holds the latest numbers for the American Division of Grayson International Enterprises.
"Working already? We got here like two weeks ago." Ashley says from the bathroom doorway while brushing his teeth.
I didn't even know he was in the bathroom.
Ashley was truly like a ghost sometimes, I never knew where he was or where he could be.
Which was also why I could never try flirting back with the cute butler who keeps looking at me.
He's so annoying.
I dramatically wave my hand in a half circle
"I have to pay for all of this somehow."
I point out the obvious and he rolls his eyes, going back to the sink.
"You've always worked way too hard Johnny. Lean back, relax for a little bit. You went through this huge fucking trauma and yet a few weeks later you act like it happened years ago."
He also points out the obvious.
Working keeps my mind off of the pain.
It will catch up to me one day but not today.
"I work so my freeloading shufu doesn't have to."
I sigh as I zoom in on the latest numbers.
"Stop calling me shufu, I'm not a woman and I'm not your wife."
he says as he rinses his mouth.
These numbers weren't looking so good.
"Fine, you can just be a freeloader then, come here I need your help." I call to him and he sticks his head in the doorway, narrowing his eyes.
"You're being really hypocritical here Johnny boy, I'm either a freeloader or you need my help. Not both." He says.
"Stop being such a smartass and come here."
he finally gives in and comes over to my side of the bed. Leaning over my shoulder.
"Ouch, that's not healthy." He says under his breath and I nod my head in agreement.
"You use to be head of finance. How would you go about fixing that?" I ask him and he lays down on the bottom of the bed.
"What do you think of the house?" he asks and lays on his back, stretching his arms to the ceiling.
"What? That's not what I just..."
He reaches with one hand through my curled up legs and takes the hologram from my lap. Turning it off.
"What? Ashley stop being a pain in the ass, I have to figure this out!"
He ignores me and toys with my holo device in his left hand.

"Jonathan do you know what time it is?" He asks, without looking at me.
I flick my screen watch.
The large numbers for 4 am shows up.
I wasn't even tired.
"Come on Ash,"
I whine and he tosses it from one hand to the other.
