I get out of the Uber that dropped me off at Charlie's house, I walk numbly to his door and knock twice before he opens and welcomes me with a sad smile.
"You know you've been sitting on that couch staring at the same wall for over an hour, " Charlie said to me and I looked at him giving him a small smile. He sighed and sat down next to me pulling me to his side, "What did he say to you?"
"That I'm nothing to him," I sighed and he growled. "I'm basically a nobody to him and he didn't care, but he gave me a job though. Considerate isn't he?"
"He just wants to keep an eye on you. He's trying to control you Lotus."
I hummed in response. "It doesn't matter anymore really. I'm going to bed," I got up from the couch and looked at Charlie, "Do you think yo
----------------------------------------------------------------- From: Antonio Rossi Date: Mon, 29 June 2020, 08:50 Subject: Re: To Do To: Lotus Hutton • Time - 07:00. • Coffee - Correct. • Report - Yes. • Notes - Get started. • Clients - Everything. Rossi. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Well, that doesn't explain everything, the skirt situation. I will have to ask him about it, I got started on the notes and it was so much fun! I have to say Antonio seems to be a great lawyer, pretty contrastin
Antonio has been giving me nothing but mixed signals! One day he's all 'You're mine' then the next he's kicking me out of his office telling me to stay away from him or better yet...stay in my place. He must enjoy saying that. Well, fuck him! I'm tired of his games, how the hell can a man be so moody and indecisive yet so devilishly handsome? If it hadn't been for Charlie I would've left and gone straight ahead to Wood. Give him my head on a fucking silver platter! "Here you go Wood, Antonio is a dick and just won't let me through. Why don't you just go to him and get whatever it is and stop sending me to do your stupid job? Kill me so I can join my dad in a way better place than this...at least I understood him. Fucking hell!"
"You ready?" Ant asked me as we walked into the courtroom, I looked at him confused and he chuckled, "To see me work my magic," I rolled my eyes and placed the questions and case files on the desk. "Impress me, Mr Rossi," I said going through the questions once more, I had worked on them the whole night with the love birds, as much as they deny it; it's quite obvious they like each other. "Oh, I will Ms Hutton," He said huskily and I rolled my eyes, he's been very playful today, since the office, in the car and now, here. "You went through the questions right?" I asked him and he nodded his head, I looked at him again and he sighed. "Yes, and they're good enough. Stop stressing," He touched my shoulders and I breathed out.
"Why didn't you tell us you were gay?" I asked him as we sat in a recess room recapping what just happened in the courtroom. "It's embarrassing," Jonah said. "No, it is not. It's the same as being straight, there's nothing wrong with it, it’s who you are," I said holding his hand. "They could say you killed him because he rejected you," Antonio mumbled as he wrote notes on his papers. "Or it just proves that he didn't lay a hand on any of them. Marcia and Marlon were his best friend's, did you have any sort of attraction towards Marlon?" I looked at Jonah and he shook his head no, "He had no sort of attraction towards Marlon, Ant." "How do you know that?" "I just asked him,"
I am proud to say that Jonah didn't go to jail, I'll repeat that again. Jonah was proven innocent and is a free man! When the judge said he found him not guilty I couldn't help the scream that escaped me. I hugged the life out of Jonah, I didn't even know the guy that well but I was happy for him. I was happy he wasn't convicted of a crime he didn't commit and he was a free man. We were both a crying mess and I blame mine on my period. I wiped his tears and we laughed for what reason? I don't know but we were happy! He held out his hand for Antonio to shake, finally, Ant cracks a smile. "I can't even begin to explain how grateful I am. You guys saved me," Jonah said and I pulled him in for another hug. Antonio nodded his head and Carter came standing in front o
I stood in front of the mirror holding my phone as I talked to Tiffany, I got her number the night I met her, she seemed like a pretty awesome person to get to know. "You know if you'd actually turn the camera around so that I could see your dress then it would be much easier for me rather than listening to you complain about how ugly you look." I frowned and flipped the camera around to the mirror so that she could see what I was talking about. "See what I mean?" I turned to my side and she snorted. "I don't see what you mean, girl you look gorgeous! Do a full turn for me still facing the camera to the mirror." I did exactly as she asked and I heard ho
"Where do you get that from?" I laughed at her confused as to what she was talking about. "You call me 'fiore' right?" She asked and I nodded my head, "And this meat is Fiorentina. So basically you're calling me meat," She explained and I threw my head back laughing. "You're hilarious Lotus," I cut a piece of meat and brought it to her mouth, she opened her mouth and took the meat in her mouth, chewing it attentively. "Juicy right?" She nodded her head and licked my lips slowly..."Now ask yourself why I call you fiore," I whispered and her eyes widened. But fiore means flower, I won't tell her that. "Oh," She cut the bread and took a bite, "Shit this is incredible," She moaned and took another bite. "We should do this more often," I offered when we finished eat
My phone ringing brought me out of the deep slumber I was in, it was the third time and whoever this person is wasn't giving up on the calls. I went to reach it but it was snatched from my hold. "Leave it," I opened one eye to see Ant wearing his jeans. "Who is it?" I asked stretching my body and taking in my surroundings. This isn't my room and I don't have a shirt on. Did we sleep together? In the same bed and he didn't move me to my room? "It's Wood," He said as he pulled a shirt on...why did he say it like that? "Are you going somewhere?" I asked him sitting up on the bed and covering my chest with his really nice sheets. I want them...so silky and smooth. "Did you hear me?"
