a mixture of colors that were bright and clearly worked well on her once blonde hair. No doubt it would look like shit on my auburn hair. But still, I hated her. She had laid beside him, she had kissed him and worse than all of that, she'd had sex with him.
    Like all of her predecessors, she'd been given something that I was never going to get. I hated them all but this one was different, this one had the staying power because of her sister being married to Evan. It made it all the more worse. At this point in time I was wondering how long it would take me to find a cave to hide in once they announced they were getting married.
    “ What's point two Kaylee?”
    None of your fucking business.
    “ Nothing.” I whispered.
    He sighed, leaning on one side to look at the parakeet.
    “ Fine. I will get it out of you, you know that right?”
    Jaxon looked back at me, I offered a shrug. My mood wasn't in the right place for his nonsense today.
    He hung around, worse yet the parakeet was never far away. It was like Jaxon couldn't understand the underlying mood of all who were in this office or maybe he was oblivious to everything. For a while they went down to the second floor and I found enough time to recover from the emotional pain. Which was just as well, my lunch date with Nate's friend was closing in on me. I couldn't even remember if Nate told me his name.
    What was worse than not remembering if I'd been told his name was the viewing committee for his arrival. Team intervention were still hanging around hours after, Eden waddled out of her office and even Jaxon and his parakeet were here. It was exactly what I wanted... not.
    Nate had gone down to the gate to meet the guy. I'd managed to extract his name out of him before he left. Lance was his name and that was all that Nate offered. Upon a little more prodding I learned that he wasn't exactly a friend. More of a friend of a friend. Which meant that Nate didn't really know him.
    Jaxon and the parakeet were back on the lounge, much to my disgust. Why they couldn't stay downstairs was beyond me. At least then I wouldn't have to listen to the parakeet talking about the latest vegetarian dish or what PETA was doing next. I could not understand what the attraction was between those two. Sure Jaxon cared for animals and didn't want any harm to come to them but he was a man that liked his steak. The bigger the better and here he was hooking up with a veggie. Bizarre.
    I could hear Nate laughing as he walked up the stairs, the sounds of another man laughing as well. Taking a big deep breath I grabbed my bag and stood up. The events had caught Jaxon's attention, he casually glanced around the room and realized something was clearly different.
    Everyone was watching, I could feel my cheeks burn with pure embarrassment as they waited for this Lance guy to reach the our floor. Nate had barely put his foot onto the top step when I was in front of him.
    “ Great, thanks for bringing him up. Come on, let's go.”
    The man was a little taken aback, Nate grabbed my arm and hauled me back.
    “ Slow down Kaylee.” he said quietly in my ear. “Savor the moment, I can tell you he is watching.”
    Nate grinned darkly as he pulled away.
    “ Lance this is my little sister Kaylee.”
    “ Hey.” he nodded.
    I looked at the man in front of me. His beach blonde hair was a little longer than the photo, straggly and in dire need of a wash. What a great effort he's put in. Ripped jeans and sneakers, plain shirt and a shark tooth necklace. Great, a surfer. You're miles away from home buddy, maybe you should go back.
    “ Hey.” I returned.
    “ Okay you two.” Nate said rather loudly as he slapped my back. “Have a great lunch.”
    Lance followed me down the stairs, as I turned to go down the next set I looked back up. Jaxon was almost off his seat as he stretched to look at us. A deep frown etched into his brow, his eyes pinned to me.
    We walked to the pizzeria at the end of the block, a quaint
