* Thomas's POV *

I sat there on my phone bored out of my mind sitting in absolute silence other that her writing with a pen and flipping through pages. "I can't take much more of this...someone kill me!"

* Lexi's POV *

I was trying to focus on the paperwork when I hear one of their voices in my head. "I can't take much more of this...someone kill me!" This is gonna annoy me...

You can go downstairs if you want.
I'm fine besides I won't leave you alone.
You'd rather suffer in silence?
Suffer?
Never mind.

* Thomas's POV *

That wasn't weird at all, did my face give it away? I played games on my phone while texting a few friends over business when I realized what time it was. It was almost 7 o clock at night and still she's reading and filling out paperwork does this girl not eat!?

Raven.
     Who...?
        Look I know you don't go by your full name which is fine so I'm gonna call you raven.
     Well I appreciate the effort but why raven?
        Believe it or not I had a pet raven. I fed him everyday when I was two and he would always find me so the bird kind of stuck.
     Oh that's cute what did you want?
        Just out of distinct curiosity do you not eat?
     Umm...yes I ate breakfast this morning..?
        Do you know what time it is?
     It's only 4....7...it's 7. Sorry I tend to lose track of time...
It's fine Enzo does that all the time what do you say we get something to eat?
Sure.

We went downstairs and sat at my favorite booth and it wasn't long before Jason came over.

Lexi I just want to say I never said anything...
It's ok Jace I know.
You forgot to eat didn't you?
Yeah...
She's done this before?
Like you won't believe...what would you like?
I'll have a steak medium rare.
That's not...
No it's not but she owns this place so she can eat what she wants...unfortunately...
I'll have the same with some scotch.
     I'll take a mango margarita.
           Got it back I'm a second.

I can't believe I dosed off again I really need to take a vacation... I look around and make sure everything looks good and everyone is doing what their supposed to when I notice Thomas staring at me.

What are you looking at?
Do you not know how to relax?
Excuse me!?
No need to be snarky I'm just as observant you were just looking around making sure everything and everyone was running smoothly. Am I right?
You're annoying did you know that?
That wasn't a no...when was the last time you took a day off?
Hey here's your food and drinks.

     Thanks Jason

Thanks Jason.
Hey so I'm gonna hang out with an old friend so I'll see you tomorrow.
Old friend?
He's going to go get laid.

There was no need for that he's shy.
He was beating around the bush he'll live with it eat up.
