"So, How was that night shift?" Demi giggled. She placed her laptop on her desk and walked over to me.

"It wasn't too bad," I replied honestly. "You never told me he's a pretty chill person outside of work."

"Wait, you had a conversation with Nick that was not about the office?" she asked. I nodded. She mumbled out an "interesting" and leaned on my desk for support. She put her hands in a heart formation and looked up at me innocently.

"It was really not like that. I talked to him first so he had to talk back."

"Makes sense," shrugging off her prior thoughts. "So, Joe had this idea that I'm not sure boss man would approve of," she looked at Nick's door secretly.

"Joe? Oh, the brother...." I trailed. "An idea for Nick's office?"

"More like an idea for the whole business in general. I've been begging him for ages to help out around here. This place gets kind of dull. Everyone loves Nick, but we barely do anything together, you know?" Emily raced in and started bouncing up and down.

"Did he ask yet?" Emily asked.

"Nope, he hasn't even come in yet. Knowing Joe, he'll probably come in around noon with his Pj's on." As soon as Demi finished talking, the elevator dinged and out came a man in a well polished suit.

"I've never seen Joe in a suit," Emily murmured in awe.

"There's a first time for everything," Demi retorted. She glared at Joe as he started approaching us. "Now, you start being Mr. Smooth. You couldn't do that when we were dating?" she asked Joe. He grinned back at her and turned his attention towards me. I instantly felt uncomfortable as Demi sighed. "Joe, you can't check out other girls when your ex-girlfriend is in the room," she said sarcastically.

"Aww, Dems. Don't get jealous. Plus, you know, you're the only one for me," he winked. Demi smacked him lightly in the arm and headed over to Nick's office.

"You know how Nick has a problem with being too serious?" Emily murmured as we were trailing behind Demi and Joe. I nodded for her to continue. "Joe has bit of a problem with being too laid back. Hence the ex in ex-girlfriend." I looked up at Demi and Joe as they entered into Nick's office. They seemed to have good chemistry but there was an imaginary barrier between that seemed to send them off into different directions. Demi sat down on the couch and signaled for Emily and me to do the same.

"What's Joe asking for?" I whispered to Demi.

She mumbled something about sanity and then spoke up with, "You'll see." Nick looked at all four of us and shook his head.

"What is it now, Joe?" Nick asked. He looked at me and tilted his head in confusion as though he was asking a question. I shrugged and he looked back at Joe.

"You know, you seem to hire pretty girls," Joe said after noticing our little interaction. He looked at me and winked.

"Joe, stop flirting with the office employees- its called sexual harassment." Demi leaned back into the couch and chuckled as Nick said that.

"I should have filed for that a year ago," Demi pondered.

"Well, I should have filed for damaging private property a month ago," Joe tried to reply wittily.

"What property?" Demi asked, utterly confused.

"My heart," Joe clutched his heart for dramatic emphasis. Even though this was supposed to be a serious conversation, in theory, it was ridiculous as it played out in front of me. It was obvious to see that both of them were broken hearted, but neither of them put up a hurt, depressed facade. They just joked about it. Demi opened her mouth and closed it. I guess she was all out of comebacks. The room stood silent for a second until Joe started to talk. "Nick, being the twenty year old that you are-" My jaw dropped open as I ignored the rest of Joe's speech. I didn't realize Nick was that young. Noticing my expression, Demi scooted closer to me.

"He skipped college and went straight for the business. That's what their whole family did," she whispered into my ear. I nodded and turned my attention back to Joe.

"That's why I think we should have an ice skating social for everyone in the office this Sunday. It will will fester up the winter spirit," Joe finished proudly.

"And what are you going to do when everyone stumbles into my office on Monday with a hangover?" Nick asked. His hands were neatly set on his desk as he waited for Joe's reply.

"Nick, then we'll have it on a Saturday. You're just making up reasons not to do this," Demi said. Joe nodded, agreeing with her statement.

"Okay, fine, you guys can have your little ice skating thing." Emily squealed at Nick's statement and bounded out of the room to tell the rest of the office.

"You're going to come, right Nick?" Joe ask, genuinely concerned of his brother's workaholic attitude.

"No," Nick replied curtly.

"Why not?" Demi whined. "You have to come," she begged like a five year old. I laughed at her little antic.

"Can't skate." I rolled my eyes and unfortunately Nick saw, He directed his next statement towards me. "What? Its not my fault I don't know how to skate," he replied defensively.

"No one knows how to skate their first time. Hence, its their first time," I replied emphasizing first as much as I could.

"She's got a point, mister," Joe said. Demi grinned and pushed me towards Nick's desk.

"Keep on arguing Miley. You should have been a lawyer," Demi giggled.

"Do you ever have fun?" I asked Nick, ignoring Joe and Demi's comments. Nick looked slightly taken aback.

"Yes. I had that tortilla last night!" Demi and Joe looked confused as their eyes wandered to me, waiting for the next reply.

"Um, Earth to Mr. Jonas, that's not exactly what I mean by fun. When was the last time you actually laughed effortlessly?" Nick looked at me with a loss of words. He frowned and sat in his chair silently for a minute, wishing that this situation would just go away. "I'll teach you," I finally said. He looked up at me and bit his lip.

"Fine, but if I fall once, I'm leaving,"

"I'll carry you out if I have to, brother!" Joe leaped for joy and hugged Nick.

A/N Thanks for all the reviews!!! I'm super excited to get this story out of my head on onto a computer. So, I just kind of wanted to explain what was going on. The first chapter was to set up characters and get you guys familiar with everyone. The second was to show that Nick is this serious person but he's just so young, but Miley is like one of the only people he really feels comfortable with. I'll explain that later on in the story. The third is just, I guess a filler? It sets up for a couple of Niley moments. I have the story basically all planned out and the random moments in between. I hope you enjoy it!
