When I met Simon I stopped celebrating my birthday. He still wished me a happy birthday every years but I always ended up either flinging him into a wall of locking him in my closet because I got so mad. I hated the fact that I kept on getting older when my mother was dead.

So when he walked into my room on my twenty-second birthday my body instantly tensed and I stared at him while he walked around my room. I didn’t say a word to him as he looked at the different pictures of him and me or my mother. Soon he had walked around the entire room and stood by the bed, which I was lying on. He looked at me while I ignored him the best that I could. I was reading a book, The Other Hand. He cleared his throat and I finished the page I was on before looking up at him with an annoyed expression on my face.

“We have a big job today.” I sat up straight on the bed and nodded as I tried to remember him telling me about it before. No such luck.

“Down at the office?” He nodded and studied my face before sighing.

“You don’t remember me telling you about this last night do you?” I shook my head and stood up to put some pants on. “Do you at least remember the boy band we signed three years ago?” I paused in my action and thought about it.

“Was it that one with the hot Muslim guy?” He nodded and pinched the bridge of his nose.

“Yes. The management for the boys have decided that it’s time for them to improve.” I groaned loudly and looked at him with tired eyes.

“Seriously? Aren’t they like four or something?” Being a holder for one person was easy, two persons were a little bit much. But four?

“No, they’re five.” Five? Awesome. I was going to sleep for a week after this. “Well we need to leave now because they are meeting us at the office at one.” I snorted and shrugged as I pulled of my sweater. I stood in front of him in just my bra but I often did so he didn’t react.

“That in like four hours.” He threw a pillow at me before starting to walk out of the room.

“It’s in twenty minutes.” I quickly looked at the clock on my wall and cursed myself for being so lazy and sleeping half of the day. I quickly put on a t-shirt and raced downstairs. Simon was standing by the door and as I darted past him he laughed at me.

“I have to have coffee!” I spoke when we were both in the car and he once again laughed at me. He started driving but didn’t stop at the nearest coffee shop. When I was about to complain he put his hand up.

“You can go across the street when we get there. I don’t have time to stop.” I groaned loudly again and leaned back in my seat, pouting because I was mad. We soon arrived at the office and when he walked into the building I walked across the street to Starbucks. I quickly bought a Latte, sandwich and a brownie. I needed my sugar if I was going to make it through the day. When I ran across the street I noticed the big black van pulling up in front of the building I was going in to and when the doors to it opened I got the first look at the boys I was holding today. I silently observed them as I walked into the building, with them just in front of me, and then into the same elevator as them. They didn’t even notice me there and as the doors dinged open on the right floor they all walked out quickly making rude remarks on how small the elevator was.

Since I am a very free spirited person I couldn’t help but snort at their behavior. I only laughed harder when I walked passed them and three of them stopped to look at my ass. But being kind of new to this office, since they have spent most of their carrier in America, they made the biggest mistake they could’ve made. They assumed I was an assistant.

“Hey doll!” The hot guy I remembered from before yelled towards me and when I turned around he had a smirk playing on his lips. “Why don’t you fetch us some coffee too.” It wasn’t a question, he was demanding that I do that. One of the biggest reasons to why I never interacted with the clients was because my temper and patience was very short. So when he spoke to me like that it took only half a second and he flew into the nearest wall. I made sure he wasn’t hurt but it still freaked everyone out.

“Oops.” I turned around and walked into Simons office. He wasn’t there so I sat down on the desk and waited for him to come fetch me. After I had been sitting there for about two minutes and I had finished my sandwich, Simons assistant came and got me. He showed me to the room where the boys were and when I walked in I noticed the dark guy I had slammed into the wall holding an ice pack to his head. I smiled smugly but as soon as I noticed Simon staring at me I dropped the smile and stared back.

“So I guess you have already met Nicola.” I shot the boys a quick smile and then looked at my phone. “Nicola is going to be the one who holds the boys during the turn. It can get rather unsafe so she will be there to make sure nothing happens.” The blonde one of the boys laughed and looked at me with a confused smile.

“But she’s so tiny. How is she going to hold us? I mean, can she even do that now?” The other boys looked at me with skeptical stares and I looked at Simon for approval. He nodded quickly and I stood up.

“If you don’t think I can do it, then come on.” I lifted my fists to signal I was going to fight him but quickly lowered them. “Nah, you know what? I bet I can make you lie face down on the ground without touching you.” He snorted and stood up. He shook his head as he looked me over.

“I’m not going to beat up a girl.” He snorted and laughed along with the other guys.

“I’m not asking you too. All you have to do is pick me up and place me on the ground, face down. It is as easy as that.” I shrugged and waited for him to make his decision. He nodded and started to walk towards me but I quickly placed my shield so that he couldn’t move at all.

“Dude, what are you doing?” The dark one asked and looked at his friend shocked.

“I’m trying to move but I can’t.” I smiled and released him. He started to walk towards me again and when he touched me I stood still. He tried to pick me up. He tried to push me over, but nothing worked. I looked at Simon and he made a motion for me to wrap it up and in seconds the blonde boy was lying on the ground, face down. The other four boys were watching me with amazement in their eyes and the dark one realized it was me who had pushed him into the wall.

“You owe me coffee.” I looked at the blonde boy before releasing him. He quickly jumped up onto his feet and stared at me with scared eyes.

“We never agreed to anything like that.” I shrugged and sat down in my chair again.

“Yeah well, I won so I decide the prize.” He stared at with an open mouth as he sat down and simply nodded to what I said. Simon simply sighed and shook his head but I could see he really wanted to smile.

“Well, shall we get on with it?” Everyone nodded and Simon continued. “You need to sign this contract, saying that you are fully aware of what you are going to go through. When you’ve done that we can begin!” he clapped his hands together and the boys actually smiled. I simply shook my head at them because even though the after effect of a turn was amazing, the turn itself was horrible.

What did they think I was there for?
