Bretton stood from the bench and smiled, "doesn't it feel good to have a voice." Alexa inhaled still glaring daggers at him."You better be glad I can't get up yet," she muttered as he sat back down.
Kaia was very impressed with Brettons actions. Alexa actually spoke! Kaia quickly grabbed her phone, messaging Alex of the good news. 'Alex! Good news! Bretton got Alexa to speak!' She messaged quickly, turning back to the food. She didn't want to bother the two at the moment.

Alex was walking through the halls of the company; he just got out of a meeting when he received Kaia's message. Alex pulled out his phone reading the message, a smile appearing on his lips. "I need to reward that boy," he said with a smirk. He slid his phone back in his jacket pocket.
"I think I know a perfect reward," Naomi said as she came up from behind holding some papers." Alex blinked, taking the papers in his hands."What?" He asked, flipping through the papers. Smiling, Naomi pointed at something on the papers. "There's a perfect opening in both of his parent's schedules. I think he would enjoy some personal vacation time with his family," she explained seeing Alex's head nod lightly.
Alex lifted his hand before handing the papers over to her."It's a good idea. Have everything arranged for them," he turned walking to his office. Naomi smirked and turned to leave. Instead, she accidentally bumped into Zac.
Zac casted a wary eye on her before taking the papers in his hands."Are you meddling again?" He questioned, lifting a brow toward her. Naomi froze, her facial expression showed her emotions clearly. It was the look of 'crap! I've been caught.' Zac chuckled and handed her the papers back. "Don't worry. Just leave tonight open. I want you to come to my house. I will charm you with my cooking," he grinned. Naomi nodded slightly," Alright sounds great. If we finish these quickly we could leave at the same time Alex does." Setting that as their determination, Zac and Naomi split ways to finish work faster.
Alex left the company just before sunset. Naomi and Zac didn't leave until a few hours later, but still earlier than normal. Zac led Naomi to his car, opening the door for her to climb inside.
Naomi sat in the passenger seat,pulling the seat belt over herself. It was just then that certain thoughts appeared in her head. She was going to Zac's house… With him,alone. Freezing lightly, Naomi was going to get out of the car but stopped herself. She likes Zac a lot, he wasn't one to force things on others. Naomi blushed, hiding her face from Zac, who entered the car. Naomi hasn't partaken in any sort of intimacy since her ex-husband divorced her. Was she ready for this?
Zac started the car but halted when he saw Naomi's expression. "What is it?" He asked caringly.Naomi blinked and turned her eyes in his direction.Shaking her head," it's nothing."She said while fiddling with her fingers. Zac raised a brow, shifting his glasses with his index finger."Why are you nervous?" he asked.He was completely aware of her actions. Naomi blushed lightly and looked out the window embarrassed," I don't think I'm ready to do… those things."
It took a moment for Zac to recognize what she was talking about. Shifting in his seat, Zac took Naomi's hand in his."Naomi, it took me years to give in to my feelings. We've only been seeing each other like this for a month and apparently dating for two weeks," He smirked looking at her. " I'm not going to screw things up by putting you in an awkward position. We will wait until you're ready. Tonight is just dinner, believe it or not, I know how to cook pretty well. Just ask Kaia, I helped her cook when we were in the country."He smiled seeing some of the worry leave her face.
Naomi smiled and relaxed into the seat of the car as he drove them to his house.

When Alex returned home, Alexa and Bretton were bickering back and forth still,as Bretton was helping her with her Korean work. Alex walked to the kitchen to greet Kaia. He smiled and kissed her softly."It's good to hear her speak again, "He took the cooking utensil from Kaia and looked over what she was making.
Kaia scowled lightly," You just got home from work." Alex acted like he didn't hear her complain until she grabbed his arm. Alex looked at her sweetly." you took care of our kid, that's injured. You deserve a break as well. Now, sit and let me do what I do best," He grinned and Kaia just sighed sitting down at the counter watching him.
Bretton started packing up his things knowing it was getting late. Alexa watched him before speaking up."What was that song you were playing?" Bretton stopped and tilted his head looking at her. He smiled, "I'm working on a rendition of a song from a tv show. I'll sing it to you once I get it down." Alexa smiled nodding." okay, sure you don't want to stay for dinner? My daddy is a great cook!" She explained happily.
Bretton flashed her a smile. "Maybe next time, thanks though, "He grinned and left the house.

Around this time Castello received a phone call letting him know that Mr. Crestfall was bailed out of jail. So he was free until his court date. Castello frowned. How could someone who did so many bad things even have bail? He committed attempted murder twice! This made no sense. Castello stood and grabbed his coat. He was going to make sure Mr. Crestfall never came after his family again.
