He leaves to get me my sweet tea and I take out my money while he's away.

"Here you go," he hands it to me gently. I shove the money at him.

"Grey told me you aren't allowed to pay here," he smirks. I scoff.

"Tell him this money is from a 'Fernando'," I instruct him. He shakes his head. My eyes narrow.

"How would he know anyway?" I question.

"Jonas would probably tell him if he found out," he shrugs.

"Who's Jonas?"

"The guy you said had a small dick," he smiles and you know what? I don't doubt that he'd tell Grey that I paid when I wasn't supposed to.

"And then I'll get my ass beat," he adds and my hand flies to my heart. What a turd Grey is.

"Look Jonas is coming!" I point to the other side of the room. He turns his head and looks while I amazingly sneak the money into his thingy. Notthingybut waiter apron thingy.

He turns back around and pulls it out the pocket I put it in.

"You're not very sneaky," he holds out the money to me.

"Don't lie to me Jai," I smile. He chuckles.

"Fine, I'll keep it," he finally gives in and I smile wider.

"Grey is in one of the back rooms," he nods to the employees only door.

"I promise I won't tell him I gave you money," I cross my fingers. Don't blab to Grey. Don't blab to Grey.Don't.

"Are you sure?" he tilts his head. I think about it.

"...Yes..?" I offer a smile. I walk to the back, convincing myself that I don't have to blurt anything to feel better.

I feel like I'd be a terrible crimer. Or criminal, whatever it is. I'd probably confess before the po-po even caught me.

I open the door to the first back room I see at the end of the hallway and it looks like a meeting room. I walk in further and Grey stands at a table near the corner, pictures and documents in his hands.

I go to shut the door behind me and I feel something tickle my neck. I bring my hand up and I pull the exact same five dollar bill I gave Jai out of the strap of my dress. I feel my mouth open.

Not only has he made me look unprofessional, but he's made me look like a stripper.

He never even touched me! What freaking CIA video did he watch?!

I scrunch my nose in the thought of getting him back as the door finally shuts. I see something in the corner of my eye.

Ooh, a picture.

I look through the faces in the picture. I smile when I see Theo's beautiful eyes and Jared Leto's hair clone. Then I narrow my eyes at Jai's face but my smile returns larger when I see Grey. Gosh, he looks good in pictures.

The smile gets wiped off my face when my eyes fall on Jake. Jake. My brother.

What?

What?

What?
