So here we were laying on my couch. I don't know how it happened but I was laying with my head on Aiden's lap as he played with my hair.

He had his feet propped up on my glass table. I couldn't really fall asleep.

It was a sensation having his fingers go through my hair.

We just laid there in comfortable silence.

"You should really go to sleep Alina," he whispered.

"If I sleep now, I won't fall asleep at night," I explained.

"Point taken," he replied, sighing.

Before I could say anything else, my phone was ringing. Both our eyes snapped towards my screen. Landon. I shot up and answered.

"Landon, how are you?" I greeted.

"I'm fine, Ms. Kinsleigh there's a car in your driveway, are you aware of this?" he questioned, somewhat frantically.

"Yes, Landon, a friend of mine is staying over tonight, if you would like to take the night off it's fine. I already told you before, you don't have to be here at all times. Only on special occasions and when I ask." I told him using a light tone.

"Nonsense Ms. Kinsleigh, you're very well known, maybe some creep could show up."

"You have a family, correct?"

"Yes, Ms. Kinsleigh, a wife and daughter."

I feel Aiden rubbing my back and I shudder in delight.

"Take the night off and be with them, that's an order," I say, but keeping my voice light.

He sighed.

"As you wish, have a good night Ma'am. Thank you," he responded.

"Of course. And thank you!" I say as we hang up. Just as I'm about to lay down again, my phone rings for the second time.

I don't feel like getting back up and seeing as it's Natalie, I just sigh and put her on speaker.

"Natalie, good evening, what's going on?"

"Ms. Kinsleigh, sorry to be calling after work hours, but I'm calling to let you know that Jennifer Stone from the foster project you've been working on has asked to have a meeting tomorrow."

I sighed again for what seemed like the millionth time today. Just as I was about to answer, Aiden shot up and grabbed the phone placing it towards his ear and taking it off speaker.

I tried to reach for it but he slapped my hand out of the way.

"No she won't be available tomorrow Natalie."
His voice was crips but he didn't seem too intimidating. He put her back on speaker.

"Uh, alright then, I'll let her know you'll reschedule, how about next week Wednesday?"

Aiden cocked a brow at me.

"Yes that's fine, whatever time she wants on Wednesday," I respond.

"Can I speak to Alina for a second?" I hear her ask.

I get up and take my phone from him as he sits down again.

"What's going on?"

"Uhm, who was that? You have a man over? That's cra—" I take her off speaker and blush as Aiden heard her rant.
