That sobered me right up... I stare at the woman in front of me not sure on what to do. Do I tell her fuck off or fuck off; it's a very hard decision.
"I'm under the influence right now" I inform her... "There will be a breech in what I say" I knew the law from the many episodes of law and order which finally paid off.
She hum seeming impress "Nothing you say will be on the books" She says. Oh, she's the crooked kind of detective.
"I still don't feel comfortable talking to you without my lawyer's presence"
"Is Thomas Maraj home?" She asks.
Did she really find it necessary to show up at my door 2:00 in the morning? Why couldn't it wait until the sun is fucking up?
"He's not in the state right now" I say honestly. He left yesterday to take care of some business...
She eyes me suspiciously like she didn't believe me. Tuh, I rather her speaking to my father than me.
"I'll be back tomorrow 9:00 AM, contact your lawyers if needed" She says before walking off.
I finally close the door and let out a breath that I didn't know I've been holding in. My mind immediately went to my mother; did she really go to the cops?
She couldn't be that much of a bitter woman.
"Babe?" I look at a sleepy Jasmine coming down the stairs. Did she not know that a detective has been outside our home?
"Did you know a detective was outside?" I ask going straight for my father's whiskey, I needed a drink.
She nods her head "I knew" she says making me raise an eyebrow at her, "I told her nobody's home except me and she should come back another time, I guess she didn't take the hint" I nod as I begin pouring the white liquor into the glass.
"Is everything okay?" She asks. I honestly didn't know the answer to that question, I myself didn't know what the fuck is going on.
"Yea, everything's okay" I lied.
"Where are you coming from?" She wipes the sleepiness out her eyes but it's still evident in her voice.
"The club" I say honestly.
She nods walking closer to me "I've grown used to your comfort besides me at nights"
I chuckle taking a sip from the glass "Are you growing feelings for me, Jasmine?" I playfully ask but I hoped she wasn't, I didn't need another repeat of Lauren.
She scoffs, "As if! I don't want this as much as you do" She points at me.
"I can already hear our divorce attorneys right now" I joke.
She let out a genuine laugh "Who will have custody of the kids?" My eyes open wide at her question even though I knew she's joking, at least I hope so. She finally registered what she said "I didn't mean that" she chuckle lowly.
"Good thing I always wrap up" I air toast.
"I'm on the pill anyway"
I pour me a next glass of whiskey feeling myself relax. Lord knows I needed this relaxation because I didn't know what the morning I might bring.
"When you finish with your drink come to bed" She demands. I eye her slim figure as she walk upstairs swaying her hips with every move.
I jug the last of my drink before joining her upstairs. I kick my clothes off leaving me alone in my boxers and tank top.
