Unknown pov
"Do you think he got the hint?" I asked

"Not quite I think he needs a few more hints so we can get them away from each other. I don't like him and I never will" he answered back to me

"But you guys he isn't such a bad guy I have been working for both of you since I was in high school and you made me bully him for no reason. What did he do that was so bad to the point where you make him miserable?" Asked one of my best workers

"Shut up boy. It does not concern you. All you have to do is finish your work and do it right" I said in a stern voice

"I quit then because he does not deserve this kinda treatment." He said while grabbing his things

"And there is just one problem with that" I said with a smirk

"What is it then" he said with a never kid but brave voice

"See now I know you have two new little boy in your home with you. Your sons right and I know how your girlfriend died while giving birth. So you being a single dad and all I know you wouldn't ever want any thing to happen to your new born little boys would you." I said smirking while watching his face pale

"Do you ever go near my sons. I will keep working for you but you stay the fuck away from my sons you ass hole" and with that he left the building

"Now if anyone else wants to try and quit then go right ahead but be aware that thing could go down hill from there" I said in a very annoyed and aggravated voice

With that I left the old abandoned building heading over to the old apartment buildings........

Michael's pov

We both saw the note slide under the door but neither of us wanted to wag it said or what could possibly be inside of it. Once I had enough of just looking at it I walked over and picked it up. There was no stamp or address on it. The only thing that was on it was mine and Zoe's name. I walked back over to the couch and sat down while Zoe slid over so she was right beside me. I took out my pocket knife and ripped of the seal of the the note. I hesitated but pulled out a pice of paper. It was folded nicely and I could kinda see some pen markings. I unfolded the note and read out loud

"We know where you live watch out Zoe. We know what matters most to you so watch out Michael." I was just about to rip the paper up when a small hand started to play with my hair.

"What are you doing." I asked her relaxing and loosening my grip on the paper.

"When I was younger I would do this to calm my brother down. He had anger issues and I don't know why but this always seemed to calm him so when I saw you getting ready to kill the piece of paper that might be useful I started to play with your hoping that it would calm you down like it did to my brother." She said while still playing with my hair

"Well it's a damn good thing it worked because I was about to commit murder to this piece of paper" I said while hearing her giggle and keep playing with my hair.

Who would send this to us and why kept running through my head while I was practically leaning in to Zoe's hand. I don't know why but I love it when she is playing with my hair.

"You hair is really soft and smells really good." She randomly said
"Thanks" I replied

"Do you ever dye your hair?" She asked

"Um yeah it's dyed now. But it has kinda faded out now. I was thinking of dying it black again with purple ends this time." I said to her while thinking was purple a good color for me?.

" I think you will look hot with purple hair" she said but blushed a deep red when she realized what she had just said

"Thanks I think it will look hot on me too. It will make me look sexy" I smirked while watching her blush redder if even possible. I laughed at her reaction which got me a glare and a smack on the arm but that only made me laughs harder. Once I calmed down I looked over at where she sat. She had stopped playing with my hair and now sat with her arms crossed and a pout on her face.

"Hay I was just joking with you. Please don't pout it doesn't look good on you beautiful face" I said scooting on the couch so I was sitting beside her. All she did though was look away from me and pout some more. So all I could do was sit there hoping she would look at me but that never happened. After a few minuets pasted and I hade a great idea. I stood up and walked into the kitchen ignoring the question look on Zoe's face and walked over to the fridge. I pulled out some grape juice and then grabbed to wine glasses. I walked back into the living room set the drinks in the table. I then sat back down beside Zoe yet she still wouldn't look at me.

"I guess we have to do this the hard way" I said while standing up

"what are you ta.........." I cut her half way through her sentence when I picked her up and threw her over my shoulder

"What are you doing put me down" she laughed while trying to get down but failed miserably

"Not until you agree to talk to me" I said in a sing song voice

"Never" she challenged "Well then you just asked for the worst choice ever" I said walking over to the couch with a giggling Zoe over my shoulder. I set her down on the couch. She started to sit up but I sat down on her legs and started tickling the living shit out of her

"s-stop Michael" she said between laughing "not until you start talking to me again" I said and kept tickling her

"O-ok I-I wi-lll talk to y-you a-again" managed to get out from my tickling assault

Once she said that I let her go and got up from sitting on her legs. Once she had cought her breath I grabbed the glasses off the table and handed her her drink.

"I don't drink wine" she said eying the cup

"Neither do I" I said while taking a sip of the juice"Its grape juice silly" I said chuckling when she blushes and took a sip of her drink to see if I was lying.

The rest of the night went by smoothly. Luke texted me and said that Peyton and him weren't gonna be able to come pick up Zoe so I just offered to see if she just wanted to stay at my place tonight. She was hesitant at first but in the end she said yes. I had given her some of my clothes to wear to sleep and they were huge on her but cute all at the same time. I don't know but I loved seeing her in my clothes and her hair now put up in a bun tied with a bandana because I don't own any hair bows. I let her sleep in my room but not with out a fight of her saying she would feel rude for taking my bed and that she should take the couch. But when I said we could share the bed that shut her up pretty fast and she just stood there blushing while playing with the strings of my pants I let her borrow. The only thing I didn't expect was for her to actually agree to us sharing the bed and now I'm in my king size bed with a pillow barrier so I don't slide over to her side. After about an hour of staring at her sleeping I decided to go to sleep as well. As I let sleep take over my body all I could think of was her laugh and her beautiful smile.
