“ I can see the correlation in your argument, defendant, but this is not enough to have a verdict in your favour. The evidence we have as of right now in this court clearly points the accusing finger at your client”, The judge said, sounding almost sympathetic.

He was correct. The things we provided were just conspiracy theories and not actual finger-pointing facts, and they cannot be used to rule in our favour.

I looked at Cole, silently asking him about Dominic and the footage, and he made a subtle sign with his fingers to indicate that Dominic was on his way to the court. I nodded, taking solace in the fact that at least, Dominic was coming. All we needed now was time.

“ Then, your honour, permit me to invite a witness for questioning”, I said to the judge. I really needed to stall time, and questioning a witness could prove to be just what we needed up until Dominic arrives.

“ Permission granted”, the judge said.

“ Thank you, your honour”, I said and turned to Charl

    We didn't speak to each other the following morning. A long drenched cold silence stretched across us as she sat in the living room and I went to the kitchen, and gosh, I hated that. This wasn't us, it never was. It was the first time we ever woke up still feeling angry at one another. I broke three large eggs into a bowl, trying to make myself some scrambled eggsa, but I paused, looking into the living room to find Sasha still staring at the television screen, and my heart broke a little. I knew too well that she'll probably starve that morning, and that was because she can't get herself to do anything whenever she's angry, meaning she probably wouldn't make herself breakfast. Now that I think about it, that must've been why she ordered last night instead of making dinner when I had just brought home fresh goods. And she likes to have a proper breakfast meal for breakfast, not burger or hotdog or donuts or anything like that, and I was pretty sure there wasn't a place where som

    “ What do you mean I shouldn't have?” I asked. “ Because you can't make it happen. I know you probably said that because the reporters were trying to get a word or two out of you, but you have made such a statement when you know very well that you can't possibly go against someone as influential as the senator”, Sasha said, turning on her couch to face me perfectly. Maybe she thought that facing me very well could get her message into my thick skull. “ You think I can't make it happen? Really? You really think I can't sue the senator?” To be honest, I also didn't think that I could. I mean, I was just a lawyer, a newbie lawyer who hasn't even practiced law for more than a year, and even though I had had multiple trials and cases and had never lost any of them, I still knew that that wouldn't be the same with suing the senator for sexual assault. Where the hell was I even supposed to get the evidence from? But I had said it, I had told the reporters that I would bring him

    He swallowed hard, his Adams apple hopping a little in his throat. I must've been paying too much attention, too much that I began to notice the beard bumps on his neck. Not only the beard bumps, but also the acne, the tiny hairs, his hair pore, and a tiny scar from an injury he must've sustained while shaving. My eyes wandered upwards; his beards were thin lined, looking very curly and suiting on him, an evidence that he took extra care of them. His lips were a light shade of pink, and although they looked a bit dried and cracked, they were still enticing. His nose, perfectly structured and edged, had about three strands of hair in it. The hairs would've been invincible if I had not been in so much tight proximity with him. When I finally got to his eyes, they were looking right back me, those hazel eyes, they were studying me, so intensely that I feared about what they already knew. I held my breath as we kept our eyes on each other, afraid that if I breathed, something wo

    It was cringe. So cringe. Watching them as they still held their gaze, probably forgetting that I was even there watching their silly drama. What arrant nonsense? I looked closely at the guy and recognized him as one of the police officers who had been here yesterday. “ So sorry about that”, the guy said to Sasha. “ No problem, I understand”, Sasha said, her cheeks almost turning red. He turned to me, finally noticing that there was another person in the same space. “ Oh, hi, you were here yesterday, right? With Officer Gabriel?” He asked. “ Yeah”, I said, nodding and articulating his looks. No wonder Sasha couldn't tear her gaze away from him. He was stoic, with a sharp jaw line and a little spray of frinkles on his face, just right below his eyes. His hair was bedraggled, as if he hadn't washed or combed it in over a week, but even with that, he was a pure living work of art, the real definition of walking out of a painting. “ What's up?” He leaned in for a bro hu

    “ Oh, okay”, she the nurse said, “ he's in room 304”. “ Thank you very much”, I replied and made my way to the elevator. Mr creepy was already there in the room, seated by Basil’s bedside when I walked in. “ Hi”, I said, slowly walking into the room as if I was literally walking on egg shells. “ Hello”, he replied with a smile, “ I guess you're here to see him?” He asked, pointing at Basil. “ Yes, I am”, I came closer to the bed, “ how's he doing?” “ Still recovering. The doctor said his vitals are looking good, so most probably, he should be waking up soon”, Mr creepy said and I nodded, letting my eyes fall fully on the man laying on the bed. His eyes were covered, but not tightly, and his breaths were so slowly that his chest wasn't even doing the upward and downward movement that I was familiar with. He was wearing a hospital gown, and had a tube connected to his mouth, together with two intravenous lines on both of his arms, each connected to a large IV bag. He l

    Do you know that feeling where you just wish that the ground would open up and swallow you up? Like, you wouldn't even care if you died, you just want the silly ground to open up it's mouth and feed on you? Yeah, that feeling. That was what I felt when after pouting my lips and closing my eyes, awaiting Cole's lips, all I felt was his hand on my hair. “ You have something here”, he said, trying to get something out of my hair. I was already dumbfounded as it was, and so so confused about what was going on. I thought he wanted to kiss me! “ Oh, here it is”, he said, showing me the white thread that was caught up in my brown hair. “ Mmh”, I sighed, grinning awkwardly and feeling jealous of those who lived in the middle belt where earthquakes were rampart. He got out of the car before I did, and then waved me good night and left. Now that was strange. He always wanted to come upstairs to my apartment, he even did so on one of the occasions he last came, and we h
