If you couldn't sleep, what would you do? Eat ice cream? Have a hot bath? Read books? Watch TV? Well, I tried everything. Nothing seemed to work. So, I rang Jason.

''Hello?'' His voice was groggy.

''Jason, I couldn't sleep'' No reply.

''JASON!!!!'' I screamed into the phone and there was a loud thud on his side.

''What the hell, woman?'' I bit my laughter.

''I can't sleep.''

''Its two in the morning and have you just realised that?''

''Can I come over? please??'' I begged making a pouty face, not realising he can't see me. He is the only person without a girlfriend yet. So, its okay to hang out late with him.

''Fine. Drive safely.'' He hung up. Sleepy head.

It took me ten minutes to reach his place and 15 minutes waiting for him to open the door.

''Are you going back to sleep?'' I enquired and He glared at me. 

''Okay Okay. Jeez, calm down.''

He sighed and looked the ceiling as if asking why the hell is he friends with me. That's normal right?? . I got onto the bed next to him and he put his arms around me. Memories rushed back, tears blurring my eyes. 

I miss you dad. you too, Lena.

Jason was still asleep when I woke up. I mean yeah, Its 6:00 am. I'd text him later. I drove back home and changed into gym clothes for a jog.

''Miss Jones, Mr. William is asking for you.''  I nodded. He probably wants me to bring another coffee, pat his head and sing a lullaby for him to go to sleep. I really don't remember what he did, but I hate him.  I knocked on his door. 

''Yes, Mr. William.''

''I need you to get those documents from the second floor.'' I nodded and turned back.

''And I also need a coffee.'' No manners. 

''Yes sir.'' 

''And nice ass, by the way.'' Jerk.

''Shut up, Mr. Williams.'' He smirked as I rolled my eyes.

It was almost lunch time, when I heard a knock on my door. I looked up to find a pretty girl, more of my age. Maybe. She gave me a charming smile and I returned it without hesitation.

''Hi Cayden. I am Ariana.''

''Hello, Mr. Williams is free right now. You can meet him.'' I said in a professional tone. But she shook her head.

''I came to meet you. I am his sister.'' Oh.

''I am sorry, I thought you were one of his bimbos. '' She laughed.

''That's fine. I just wanted to know you. Like friends?'' I gave her a genuine smile.

''Yeah. That's fine.''

''How do you survive with carter?'' 

''Don't even start on him. He's annoying as hell. but, nothing I can't manage.''

''How about we go for lunch?'' She asked.

''Umm. I have some work to do.''  She gave me a 'watch me' look and spoke into the intercom.

''Carter, I am taking Cayden for lunch.''

'' Ari? You can't steal my assistant like that.''

''Yes I can! Actually, I shouldn't have informed you. She can go whenever she wants. Right Cayden? Or I will have to tell her about your history.'' 

''What history?'' I asked loud enough for him to hear.

''Ariana Williams, I swear if you utter a word anything about me, I'll cut your hair in your sleep.''

Ariana's eyes widened. 

''It's Okay, Mr. Williams, I shall soon find out myself. I have my ways.'' I laughed evilly.

''Both of you get out of this building this instant.'' He disconnected.  We walked our way to the same restaurant.

''You are the only person who seems to get on his nerves this easily and control him other than our family. Not even Bryan can.''

''That's because I challenged to show him what I am capable of.''  She stared at me.

''You did? He didn't tell anything about that.''

I shrugged. '' He said that he wanted to show me hell, I told him I would show him the devils of hell. That's all.'' Her jaw touched the ground. 

''He would've fired you that instant.'' I shrugged again.

''I wouldn't mind that.'' 

'' And by the way, My sister is planning to celebrate her kids birthday. It's next week and I will send you the address.'' 

''kids?'' 

''Yeah, twins''

'''Wow.. I'll be there. But, you have another sibling?''

''Yep , we're 4. Cassandra is the oldest, then comes Carter, Ben and finally myself.''

''Lucky you. It must be the noisiest house.'' She sighed.

''Yeah. do you have siblings?'' I tried to keep a smile on my face. I swallowed.

''No. I am the only child. Umm, I have to go back now. There's a lot to do.''  Hugging each other, we parted our ways and thank god she didn't ask anything more.
