Jill Malik P.O.V

The meeting went really well, except for the fact that one person kept falling asleep constantly. It's annoying and highly unprofessional to hear someone snoring when you're in a meeting. Ximena had to elbowed him occasionally so he would stay awake. Now and then he glanced over at me and everytime he does that my heart make this weird dance. It's so annoying since I'm supposed to dislike him for what he did yesterday.

Ximena's brazilian friends were pretty impressed by the presentation and told her that they would send her an email with their final decision. I was proud of Ximena. She deserved this. She deserved to expand her business.

..........

"What the hell Flynn?" Ximena growled when everyone left and we were now alone in the conference room. Flynn looked up at her wearily. I doubt that he had breakfast this morning, because he looks exhausted.

"Spare me the lecture, I fucked up I know." he groaned as he leaned back on his chair and closed his eyes. Even when he's like this, he's handsome. His hair was a mess, he look paler than ever, his tie hung loosely around his neck, and still he looks like a model coming straight out of Forbes magazine. For a hot and smart CEO -he has the looks and he graduated from Harvard with flying colors- , he sure is irresponsible.

"You have a hangover on a weekday? Care to explain why?" Ximena tapped angrily on the table with her nails. She always does that when she's angry. I think that's the only reason why she gets her nails done every week, for the sound it makes when she taps with them on the table. 4

"Stop that, it's annoying." Flynn muttered, pointing at Ximena's nails ticking on the table. "And no, it's none of your business."

She let out a exasperated sigh and looked over at me. I was collecting some papers and was about to head out.

"Uhm, I have to go now, I'll see you tomorrow." I said, not wanting to be in the middle of a possible sibling fight.

"I'll pick you up at eight in the morning."

I nodded. "Sounds good."

I threw quick glance at Flynn who was half asleep half awake in the chair before I headed out. During my presentation I'd done that too. Throwing quick glances at him. Even when he had a hangover his eyes shined so impossibly blue like there was a sky trapped behind his pupils.

Today I noticed something about Flynn. His eyes looked really familiar to me. 15

..........

It was a beautiful day in New York City. I was planning to go on a little shopping spree today, but Ethan, one of my closest friends from university, texted me a while ago asking if I was able to join him for lunch. Of course I replied with a yes, since I haven't seen him in a while. He went back to Germany after graduation, because of an internship he got. 2

I drove to the address Ethan had texted me and I ended up at this place called Margon. I had never ate here before. I grabbed a small mirror out of my bag and fixed my makeup and hair before getting out of the car.

Margon, was a small restaurant, far from where I'm used to eat. Working for Ximena, gave me the privilege to eat at five star restaurants like Le Bernardin, Gramercy Tavern, Del Posto, etc.

I walked inside the restaurant, searching for Ethan. I found him in the corner waving at me. He hadn't changed that much, the only thing that changed was his hair. In university he had short curly copper brown hair, but now they were tied in a bun on top of his head . The bun was so perfect, I ask myself where he had learned to do that. Until this day, I still can't do the iconic messy tumblr bun on my hair. 5

"JJ, long time no see." he walked over at me and gave me a tight hug. "I missed you!" 1

In university Ethan gave me the nickname JJ, which I didn't approve of the first time. I mean Jill itself was already short, but Ethan being so lazy had to come up with something shorter than Jill. 1

As time passed by and Ethan kept calling me JJ, I got used to it. He's also the only person who can call me JJ, if someone else would call me like that I wouldn't hesitate to punch the person square in their face.

the window and placed our order. "Oh my god, I need to tell you something!" Ethan

whispered something in my ear. My eyes widened and my mouth fell open.
