I sit in my office working on an upcoming case for one of the biggest clients I have, an affair with his secretary and now she's taking him to court for rape.
Funny because he has recordings of them fully agreeing on the affair but what will not be in his favour and what I know the opposing counsel will use is the fact that he recorded her without her knowing.
"Sir, somebody is here for you," Sophie's voice was loud on the intercom disrupting the pleasing sounds of silence.
"Do they have an appointment?" I asked her.
"No, but she says it's important," she emphasised the words, knowing Sophie she could be looking at whoever this she is in a very rude manner.
"Send her away," I answered, focusing on my case when suddenly a beautiful black girl burst into my office looking terrified.
"No, please! He'll kill me!" She said with tear-filled eyes.
"I'm so sorry sir, I'll get the security team right away!" Sophie shouted but I shook my head, no and asked her to leave.
She closed the door behind her and the little girl in my office was shaking. She's wearing jeans and a black sweater with her braids tied up but some left loosely creating that messy effect.
"Who are you?" I asked as I leaned against my desk in front of her to see she was still shaking, so fragile.
"M-My name is Lotus sir. Oh God, he's going to kill me," she whispered the last part to herself, covering her mouth as loud sobs escaped. What happened to her?
Something in me wanted to comfort the girl but I don't know her and she's speaking in riddles.
I tilt my head to the side a bit and examine her. "Why didn't you go to the police if 'he' is going to kill you?" I air-quoted.
She shook her head violently and a tear slipped from her eye. "He specifically said no cops! That I should come to you directly but I can't do what he told me to. I just can't!" And again she's talking in riddles, whoever this person is she seems to be afraid of him.
"Who is this ‘he’?" I was really interested in what she's so afraid of. Her eyes met mine and she froze with something unreadable passing through her eyes? Was it fear? Confusion?
"He said you would know, actually that you would figure it out at some point down the road after I've...after I've," she stopped talking, taking deep breaths.
"Sophie, could you please bring us some chamomile tea," I spoke through the intercom and she came in after a few minutes with the tea leaving and I closed the door behind her locking it.
I see Lotus eyeing the door as I locked it, I feel as if there's just so much to this story than she's letting on and I have an idea of who she's talking about
I take the cup of tea and give it to Lotus who declines but I push the mug in front of her again. "Drink it. It will calm you down," she takes the mug and takes small sips of the tea.
Some of it drips off onto her chin and this would be such a teasing, actually is teasing scenery but not in this case. What’s wrong with me?
Talking about cases, I have one that I should prepare for so let's finish this small talk. Oh yes, who would’ve thought Antonio, the gang leader would eventually become a lawyer, life is crazy man.
"Carry on with your story," I sat down on the couch and pat on the empty space next to me. She hesitantly walked over to the couch and sat on the far end. I rolled my eyes and motioned for her to continue.
"All he said was that you took something that was his and that you owe him seeing that you're doing so well outside. That you would figure it out after you and this is going to sound stupid after you fell in love with me," she snorts and lets out a nervous chuckle. "As if someone like you could ever."
I studied her for a while without saying anything, so he did send her. And what the fuck does he mean when he says I owe him? And here I was thinking he wouldn't bother me...just great!
"He said I owe him?" I asked her with my finger underneath my chin tapping.
"Yes, and something about you taking what's his?" She asked but you could see she was just as curious as I was but something is not making sense to me. Why is she telling me all this?
"Strip."
"Excuse me?" She asked, choking on her tea. She looked at me surprised as I cocked my head slightly, she can’t possibly think I’ll just trust her this easily, right?
"Honestly you don't expect me to believe everything you’re telling me, I need to know if you're wearing a wire," I shrugged my shoulders.
"Can't you just ask me or pat me down?" She asked nervously shifting on her seat.
"No. Now strip or I'll do it for you," she gets up slowly and puts her bag on the seat she had occupied. She stood staring at me for a second before muttering something along the lines of ‘fuck it, I’m better off here than there.’
She starts off by taking off her shoes and I lean back on my seat spreading my hands behind me, might as well enjoy this...argh sick Antonio that is just disgusting! I sat up straight and shook my head.
She pulled her sweater over her head and I rolled my eyes seeing she's got a vest underneath. She unbuttoned her pants and undid the fly, slowly pushing her fingers in her jeans, she shimmied them down until they reached her ankles, stepping out of them she put them on the pile being created on the couch.
Now she stood in front of me in only her socks, panties and vest. To say she didn't have an amazing body would be a huge lie.
She has luscious thighs and a full chest. Her body was in proportion and her sweet melanin added to the taste in my mouth, I was mentally drooling. I could imagine how she’d taste. FUCKING HELL ANTONIO, YOU SICK BASTARD!
I stood up and walked slowly over to her and she was shaking, I tilted her head up with my finger and she whimpered at the contact. I touched the vest. "Off."
She looked at me with wide eyes, pleading but I rolled my eyes going to take it off but she beat me to it. She grabbed the hem of the shirt and pulled it off at once.
My breath hitched once I saw her breasts and those chocolate buds. My mouth watered at the sight and my dick got hard as I looked at her half-naked body. "Socks," I muttered and she groaned, taking off the socks. Yes! She has cute toes.
It wasn't really necessary for me to make her take off her socks but I wanted to see her toes. I walked to my chair and sat down wanting to hide the hard-on I have. "Get dressed."
After she was done getting dressed I turned back around finding it totally irrelevant for her to be shy about getting dressed in front of me since she did undress. But that was under different circumstances.
"What I don't understand is why you told me everything," I spoke out after a long time and she rolled her eyes, I raised my eyebrow at the sudden behaviour.
"I mean if he's scared of coming to you himself, I guess it's best for me to tell you everything at once before he comes."
I nod my head and stare at her, why would he only come after me three years later.
"Geez, I don't know," she said and I looked at her with a questioning look. "Nothing," she muttered
"How old are you?"
"Twenty-one. How old are you?" She really does have a sudden behaviour that's surprising me.
"Thirty-three. And Lotus, it isn't Wood you should be afraid of."
“I figured.”
LOTUS Honestly, this man wasn't who I was expecting to meet at all. I thought I was going to meet a man with a greasy beard and a potbelly, a person who looked extremely exhausted and didn't even want to live. But as for him, he was so gorgeous, I was jealous of his looks. He had a beautifully sculptured face, a sharp jawline and perfect cheekbones. To say his eyes didn't capture my attention would be a huge lie. Those eyes did things to me I never thought would happen at all, I was so lost in those greyish blue eyes that were staring at me. He's staring at me! Let me pretend as if I'm not looking at him... His nose had cute freckles and his lips were full, I really wonder what it would be like to kiss those. I snapped out of my daze when he snapped his fingers in front of my eyes.
ANTONIO "So explain yourself," I said as we finished ordering our lunch, normally I would send Sophie to get me my normal lunch but something about this girl made me want to get out of the office, but it's also to make Wood think I'm interested in her. She was quite intelligent, the way she told me off about the case made me want to snap but all I could do was tell her she's looking at two different cases, she seemed more interested in the double homicide and honestly, I am too. "Basically what it says is that Jonah stabbed Marlon and Marcia, his best friend's because they had a huge argument about the sudden relationship the deceased had, mind you Marcia was always Jonah's crush so I guess you could understand the argument part. What I do not understand is how he could kill them when he
I watch Antonio and Charlie leave and I close the door behind them. With a sigh, I collapse on the couch and switch the big screen in the wall on. Everything that's playing sucks so I switch my phone on and it's flooded with texts. Devil in human form: Did you manage to meddle your pretty ass into his life yet? - It's been a whole week Lotus, how much more fucking time do you need! Remember your life's in my hands. - Time is running out beautiful flower. I don't reply to any of his texts knowing he already has somebody following me around to see if I'm doing as he instructed. I see that an unknown number texted me. Unknown
I get out of my bed and groan, stretching my muscles. I walk to my bathroom and take a shower, brush my teeth and get dressed in sweatpants without a shirt I walk downstairs and I'm whiffed with the smell of food, I groan out forgetting I had a girl living with me now. I find her in the kitchen dancing to a song, mostly her ass. I smirk as an idea comes up and I walk up to her caging her between me and the island, pressing myself on her ass and she gasps. "What are you doing?" She stuttered out breathing heavily, you sure do got it with all the ladies Antonio. I skimmed my nose along her neck and sniffed, Eucalyptus. Nice "So... you like to watch," I said biting her ear lobe.
"So that's your uncle?" Jake muttered after Antonio went upstairs. Jake had gotten here an hour before Ant and we've been seated on the couch since catching up. "Yup. My grumpy uncle," I said looking away, I had to think about something on the spot and uncle was the best I could do. "And that's his girlfriend?" I nodded again, "Rather we carry on with us?" He asked again and I grinned "Please," There was a moment of silence after I said that. "I don't know why I never had the guts to approach you in school," He said and my head snapped to him. "Wait what?" I spoke out after looking at him for the longest time ever and he chuckled, shifting closer to me and twirling his finger around my braid.
"Nevermind." She squealed bolting out of my office. She must've ran so quickly because I heard her door slamming closed. She probably locked her bedroom as well.I look at the broken pen in my hand and sigh running my fingers through my her, now I've got to clean up all this mess. How the hell did she find out about Stacey... Stacey.After cleaning up the mess I made I tried so hard to concentrate on my work but was very unsuccessful. I retired to my bedroom but first going to Lotus's bedroom.I knock and hear no response, I open the door slightly and see she's deep in sleep. Her one leg. Is hanging over the bed and one arm is covering her eyes. Messy sleeper.I close her bedroom door and head to mine closing the door. I sit on my bed and release a heavy breath, today has been a drag honestly and irritating as well. I guess the good thing about today is that I had a break-through with the case.I allow sleep to consume me...another dreamless night.°I groan out as the alarm brings me
What the hell just happened! No ways, no fricking ways. Let's recap all of this, I might be still dreaming...nope, not dreaming. Ouch, why did I pinch myself?So I basically avoided him for a whole week because I was scared he pissed at me for going through his stuff. And when he finally catches me in the act of avoiding him, he took my virginity.Hard, raw and fast. It was incredible! And painful but it was incredible! I have never in my life felt such immense pleasure and would definitely want to do it again.Does that mean he likes me? Does that mean he wants me too? Or was he just looking for relief and I was the closest thing. But he has Jesse for all of that, come on Lo think positive! Ant looks like a person who knows what he wants.And he wants you?Well, the more I think of it, things did go a bit too quickly.The now cold water brings me out of my thoughts and out of the tub. I wrap a towel around my body and wal
"Hey, Jake. What do you say I take you on that offer for drinks?""Sure. Say 6?""Can you come fetch me now?""Be there soon."I found myself wiping a stray tear well, I guess rejection does hurt, although that was totally indirect but still. Fuck him!I go upstairs into my room and find something to wear, well this is going to be tough considering I don't really have dresses but I can totally mash something up.I find my long-forgotten tight black high-waist leather pants and a black see-through crop hemp and a black jean jacket, for shoes I wore my black heels. This outfit was really dark, just like my mood. But in conclusion, I just really love black.I apply my matte Maroon lipstick and some mascara, I don't know why dad ever bought me such things, I guess he always knew the time would come when I would be a girl... because of a fucking guy. Wise old fool.I finish my business and walk downstairs and find the co
