"Its weird though, we're best friends." He stated. "I mean you're her best friend. I just had a genuine conversation with her today." Anthony replied.

Josh was silent and then the same old grin he always had on appeared once more. "Hey, like Lily would ever date you." Josh smirked.

"Bet."

"Guys you realize I was practically standing here listening to you both right?"

"I better go, I mean Charli left. Theres no reason for me to be here anymore." Jaden said as he walked out the door. "Geez, so much for sticking up with your bros." Josh rolled his eyes.

"It's getting late. I should go home too." Lily said and as she did she left a tug on her hand. "Lily why don't you stay over for the night? It's late anyway." Josh stated.

"Ooohh Josh, making a move on our little Lily here." Jaden wiggled his eyebrow. "Nonsense! A girl and a guy should not be sleeping under the same roof before marriage!" Anthony perked, "In fact I'll take her back to her house."

"You will?" Lily asked with Anthony nodding. "Oh well thank you I guess. And he's right Josh, we're not kids anymore. We gotta stop having sleepovers."

"Lily we literally just had one in your place two days ago." Josh frowned. "Lily don't be like this, you're just acting like this because Anthony told you that, we both know there will be nothing going on between us because we're family." Josh ranted.

"My point exactly. I'll see you at school Josh. I'm going home with Anthony." The girl said sternly. Josh frowned, "Alright, drive save." Josh turned around and slammed the door shut. Not knowing what on earth made him behave like this.

The idea of Lily refusing to sleepover was confusing for him. They love to sleep over, they even took bathes together when they were kids. Of course they stopped eventually because the idea of it was just wrong when you start growing up.

She's like a sister he never had. Even Joshs mom used to breastfed her and Jackson when their mom was ill and had to do chemo. Josh felt terrible, he plopped down his bed staring at the ceiling wondering what did he do wrong.

And after some time he eventually went to bed.

"Good morning, Jackson and. . Oh my gosh! Brandon!" The girl yelped and went to hug the man sitting beside her brother. Brandon Bellerose is a lawyer working for Jackson. He helped Jackson out of a sticky situation once and eventually they became best friends.

Brandon is handsome, she admit. Brandon has a twin sister Blair Bellerose, who is a total eye candy. She is everyones girl crush and she is a diplomat working under Argentina. They met at a Gala once, she's also the person that convinced her to take international relationship studies.

"You never told me you were coming to the US, if I knew I should've baked you some cookies!" Lily exclaimed. "Theres no need. I'm just stopping by because I'm working on this case on Liam Allerton. I'm not supposed to say anything but boy he sure have a serious sister complex." Brandon spoke.

"Oh yeah and now that you're here. Blair asked me to give you these." Brandon said as he pulled out a huge box. "It's a Valnetino gown. She got them from a French ambassador but its too small for her so here you go oh and. ." Brandon pulled out another box.

"HOly shit, are those Cartiers?"

Jackson sighed, "Brandon, how many times do I have to tell you to stop spoiling her." Jackson sighs. "It's really nice to have a little sister yanno? I mean Blair is seconds older than me that I don't get to play with her that much. Don't grow up so fast okay? You're going to break the old mans heart." Brandon sighed.

"Thank you Brandon and it reminds me, can you drive me to school? Josh is not picking me up today." Lily asked. "Oh so this guy you're in love with right? so you haven't asked him out?" Brandon asked grabbing the keys to his Lamborghini.

"Nope and it's going to stay that way."
