The next morning I woke up and went downstairs. I was really thirsty and wanted a glass of water. Before I walked into the kitchen I looked in the living room, Bobby was sprawled out on the couch. I couldn't help but smile.

"Hey what are you staring at?" Lexus walked up behind me.

"Nothing, I thought you were still sleeping." I turned around to face her.

"Does it look like I'm sleeping, come on take me out to breakfast I'm hungry."

"Geez you're so pushy." I laughed.

"Come on I haven't eaten anything for a whole day, I'm starving."

"Alright, let's go wake Jack up." We both turned around and ran up the stairs.

Very quietly we walked into Jack's room. I looked over at Lexus and started laughing. We were acting like five year olds.

I walked over to his bed and stuck my butt in his face.

"Wake up Jack." I turned around and jumped on him.

Jack opened his eyes and groaned. "What do you want?"

"Come to breakfast with us." I bounced up and down on the bed.

"Ugh…fine." He rolled off the bed.

"OOO Lexi his bed is pretty comfy we should have stayed in here last night." I pulled the covers over my head.

"Oh yeah," Lexi jumped in the bed.

Jack looked at us, "Move over." He climbed into bed with us.

"What's going on in here?" We looked up to see Angel standing in the doorway.

"Nothing much we're just having a threesome." I started laughing.

Angel face turned red, "Oh…"

"I'm just kidding." I got out of the bed and walked over to the doorway. "Come on Lexi lets get ready."

Bobby woke up and looked around; he completely forgot that he fell asleep on the couch.

"Come on Jack!" I was yelling up the stairs.

I walked into the living room and looked at Bobby.

"Morning!"

He looked at me and got up.

"Fine don't say good morning then."

Bobby pushed passed me and walked up the stairs.

"You know you're being really rude."

Bobby turned around and gave me a death stare. I took that as a "Leave me the fuck alone."

"Hey Bobby," Jack came running down the stairs.

Bobby didn't say anything and continued up the stairs into his room. He slammed the door behind him and plopped onto his bed.

"So I'm guessing that's a no for breakfast." I looked at Jack.

"Can we go I'm really hungry." Lexus was standing at the door waiting.

"Yeah sure," Jack and I walked out the door with her.

During breakfast my cell phone rang.

"Hello?"

"Where are you I thought you were suppose to be here an hour ago I can't run this place by myself you know! Who the hell do you think you are!" Tanisha was blowing my ear drum out.

"Alright calm down I'll be there in fifteen minutes."

"Fifteen minutes! You know if it wasn't for…"

"I'm coming alright!"

"Fine…"

I hung up the phone. "I'll see you guys later."

"Alright bye," Lexus went back to eating.

"Where you going?" asked Jack.

"Work, I'll see you guys later."

Later that day during work a girl named Cindy came up to me.

"Uh Mercedes there's some one outside to see you."

My heart skipped a beat, "Oh ok."

I followed her outside; I was hoping that it was Stefan.

"Cedes my number one girl!" I looked up to see Guy smiling at me.

"Guy, what are you doing here?" I faked a smile.

"Oh just came to check up on you, heard your place was trashed huh."

"Yeah can we talk about this…"

"Over lunch sure, come on I want you to meet your new partner."

"Partner?"

"Yes, you have too many people after you now darling we have to protect you."

"What do you mean?"

"You know what I mean; Garrett already told me he warned you about hanging out with your friend Jack."

"What about Jack?"

"Nothing only that he is a Mercer and you know we have a past with the Mercers."

"We do since when?"

"Oh darling stop playing dumb with me, now here is your money from the other assignment." He handed me a wad of cash.

"Thanks."

"Alright here she is, your new partner Jesse."

A tall blonde bimbo blonde walked up to me.

"You're kidding right? You want Barbie to be my assistant."

"No your partner Chow girls," Guy walked away smiling.

"First off my name isn't Barbie its Jesse."

"Wow well sorry then, let's just get one thing straight I work alone. I always have and always will."

"Well things change, Guy told me all about how you're betraying him."

"What!"

"Yeah something about Bobby Mercer or whatever, yeah so anyway were suppose to like kill this guy and get rid of him."

I could feel my heart sink to the floor, I never felt this way. Why was I trying to protect Bobby?

"Don't worry Barbie…I mean Jesse I got it under control thanks anyway."

"Yeah guy told me that you sort of have a thing for him, don't worry I won't make his death too bloody."

"What!"

"Yeah anyway I'll meet you tonight at the dizzy horse we have a date." Jesse started to walk away.

"What!"

"See you at ten!"

I was really annoyed; who the hell did that bimbo think she was! Where the hell does Guy even have the right to put her as my partner! What the hell was I going to do about Bobby?

Later that night I went back to my apartment and grabbed some stuff. I told Jack that I was going to be at the Dizzy Horse later that night if he wanted to come. I made sure that Lexus was safe at Dakota's house before I went out.

It was a regular night at the dizzy horse most of the regulars were there. I waited at the table for my new partner to come.

"Hey!" I looked up to see Stefan.

"Hey! How are you?" I got up and hugged him.

"Good."

"Wow I was defiantly not expecting to see you here tonight."

"Yeah I wasn't expecting to be here." He smiled.

Oh he was just so cute I could feel myself melting.

"Wanna dance?"

"Sure."

I grabbed his hand and led him to the dance floor.
