What does she look like?
Where did he meet her?
Is she pretty?
I lifted my eyes to Seth who was now waving his hand to my face. I looked at him and he asked, "Did you hear me?"
I shook my head, apparently, I got distracted by my thoughts.
"I asked if you've ever been in love."
I shook my head. "No, I have not."
"Truth or Dare?"
"Truth."
"Would you like to be in love?"
I nod. "Yeah, of course. I see Iris and Brandon together and I want that. Eventually."
He sighed.
I lifted my head with a smile, "Truth or Dare?"
"Dare."
I laugh, "Take off your robe."
He grinned obeying my command.
Soon enough we were both naked. I looked over at his naked stated and immediately got horny. I moved my eyes down to his parts and sighed.
"Truth or Dare?"
"Truth." I answered. I didn't want to play his game. I wanted to be my own leader.
"Are you afraid?"
I frown, "I'm afraid of many things. Be specific."
"Of Love?"
I look down at the glass and then back into his green eyes. "Yes."
We stayed for a while until I spoke, "Truth or Dare?"
"Dare."
"I dare you to let me ride you." I said looking in his eyes.
He smiled, "The pleasure is mine."
"Do you really have to leave?" I pouted as I watch Seth putting on his clothes.
He turned to me and smile, "Unfortunately yes. I have a case tomorrow that I need to prepare for."
"But it's only 1' O clock. You can at least stay a few more hours."
He laughed, "A few more hours with you isn't just a few more hours. I need my energy, and all you seem to do is wipe me clean of it."
"But it's not like you mind." Of course, he didn't, he wanted more.
"Oh, believe me, I don't." He moved away from the mirror and look down at me. "This weekend has been great, but tomorrow is Monday and that means work for both of us."
"But this is better than work." A few weeks ago, my life was revolved around my job and then this beautiful man walked back in it and all I can think about now is staying with him in bed for a few more days.
"I agree but without work, I don't eat."
I frowned, "You drive have two cars, may I remind you that one of them is a Porsche."
He laughed and shook his head. "I'll see you again soon, Friday to be exact."
"Friday? That's so far away." Never in my life, I would imagine myself begging for a man to stay in my bed, but Seth wasn't just any man.
"That's the only day I'll be available this week."
I sighed, "Okay."
He leaned in a kiss me on the lips.
He moved away from me and walked to the door. "I'm taking Briny." He threw me an imaginary kiss, "See you in court, Friday."
.....
The week didn't go as fast as I had hoped. I didn't have much court cases this week just a lot of settlements which could be twice as hectic as the court cases.
It was really difficult to get things settled in some cases last for months and all because one party doesn't want to take five million dollars.
Yes, rich people were a pain in the butt.
I hadn't seen Seth since Sunday, but he texted me every day to make sure I was okay.
For some strange reason, I missed having him around.
I didn't even know why.
Maybe it was his laugh or his smile.
I just don't know.
I sighed and looked down at my watch.
I had to be at the courthouse in forty-five minutes and I shouldn't be late, especially since the prosecutor is Seth.
I pushed the chair back and reluctantly stood up. I grabbed my case files and hurriedly made my way to the elevator.
I was late for the first case, so there is no way that I'm going to be late for this one. Mr. Benjamin would not be too pleased at all.
........
"Will the defendant call their first witness to the stand please?"
I nod my head at Judge Brown and stand. "The defendant would like to call Mrs. Walter to the stand."
Mrs. Walter went and sat on the stand, she placed her hands on the Bible and repeated after the tipstaff, "I swear to tell the truth and nothing but the truth."
"Proceed."
"Mrs. Walter how long have been working at Walter's Kitchen Utensils and more?" I walked closer to her and smile.
The older woman smiles, "Ever since I got married which is about 40 years ago."
I nodded and smile, "So that means you have quite the experience when it comes to household items, am I right?"
"Objection, your honour. The question is irrelevant." Seth shouted from his seat. I rolled my eyes but didn't take it off the witness.
Judge Brown shot him a look, "Overruled."
I smile, "Am I right Mrs. Walter?"
She nods, "Yes."
"So normally when a customer comes in your shop wouldn't they just get the full kitchen set? Meaning that the knives all match?"
She nods, "Yes. They would."
"Thank you, Mrs. Walter." I turn to the jury, "I have pictures of the knife in Mr. Benjamin's home and one of the murder weapons." I took out the pictures from the folders and place one in each hand, "Do you see the big difference between these knives."
I turn to look at Mrs. Walter showing her the picture. "What do you see in the picture Mrs. Walters?"
"Well, all the knives in this picture are the same. They are all black with three holes which means they were bought as a set whereas the next knife is brown, it doesn't belong to the set."
I smiled at my witness then turn to the jury. "This is evidence that my client didn't kill Mr. Harrison but was framed. No further questions."
