Unknown

I know that I've been in the background for a little, but that's only because I've been trying to take a break from Alyssa and her family.

Now don't get me wrong, I love the girl and her family with all my heart, but they can get a little extra.

But then again, we have been getting closer and closer over the past few years.

I met Alyssa when we were children, no that was not when I was assigned to her at that time, but we've been friends ever since.

I got assigned to her when I turned 16 because I had to prove my worth to a lot of people.

Especially my boss.

They weren't really big on underrepresentation because they har enough of that when they were younger. Because of this, they give their recruits three chances to show their true potential.

Except certain people.

But I'm able to get more than three because my boss and I are very close.

But because of our closeness, I'd have to work extremely hard just to get a bit of credit.

The fact pisses me off to the point where I want to quit at times, but I force myself to get back up and try again because I'm not going to fail.

But there is a little dent in this plan and it has been preventing me from completing my mission, and it's the dickhead himself.

Xavier Grey.

So far, I haven't heard anything that has happened behind closed doors, but I'm definitely going to find out soon.

I have eyes everywhere, and everything they see, I see.

But enough of the business talk.

I'm currently reading a book in my room because I didn't have much planned today, but my sense heighten when I hear my phone start to ring.

I pick it up, not bothering to check the caller ID, and answer.

"Hello?" I ask dryly rolling my eyes

I'm not usually the type to be rude or disrespectful, but today honestly isn't my day.

It's that time of the month, and I'm just not in the mood for anyone's shit.

Or any of these days.

"Damn who bit your clit?" My best friend ask trying not to laugh at their own joke but instantly fails

I roll my eyes again and cross my legs in my queen sized bed and huff.

"Mother nature." I snappily reply

"Oh... Sorry. I can come over and we can have movie night. I could also buy you some Motrin and bring heating pads." They respond making me smile softly

No matter our distance, they'd always make time for me, and that's what I adore about them.

"Yes, please." I reply simply then hang up and continue reading

As I continue to read, my phone rings again, and I roll my eyes and curse under my breath.

I pick up the phone and answer it knowing it's them.

"What?" I question loudly making it known I'm not in the mood for bullshit

"Now now is that a way to speak to your boss?" They ask making me pinch the bridge of my nose trying to calm myself

"No, no, I'm sorry. Is there something you need?" I ask politely even though I feel a sharp pain make its way to my lower stomach

I bite my lip and count to ten knowing I have to put on my best acting skills in order not to lose.

Or worse.

"Yes. What is your progress with the Henderson girl?" They ask and I can tell they're mad because I haven't called in a report yet

"Great." I reply instantly but curse myself because my voice breaks slightly

"Do not lie to me." They deadpan and I bite the inside of my cheek

I debate on telling her the truth, but then again, I don't want to be assigned to three people all at once.

Alyssa is a lost cause herself.

"Umm, it hasn't gone anywhere really because she has been dealing with people so she's rarely home." I reply vaguely

"Who?" She asks and I can practically sense them edging closer from their seat

"I don't know. She probably made some new friends..." I repy trailing off

There's still some kindness and forgiveness in me, even though my family was never fond of the male population.

"Cassy." She says with a stern tone making me gulp slightly

"Yes?" I ask whispering hoping the bed will swallow me whole

"Listen to me closely dear. The next time I call you, that girl better be in your clutches. Understood?" She warns making me sigh and run a hand through my hair in stress

I bite my lip weighing my options but before I can reply, they do it for me.

"Do you understand me?" They ask louder this time making me sigh heavily

"Yes."
