Story about two people who are stubborn as hell, the whole world can see their chemistry but they can't.
She is sweet, charismatic, turns head when she walks in but has no clue about it. She is a single mom of a lovely boy. And because of one extrem...
Out of the room, I took few flights of stairs, opened the door at the end of it, and reached the top of the building. the fresh air hit my face and helped my agitated nerves.
Why do I feel so helpless, why can't I just face and handle this case like any other case that I've taken, why does this have to be so complicated, and above all, why me. There are just so many "why" in my life and yet none of them are answered, they say time heals everything and answers every question but in my case, it feels like time made a full fucking 360 and brought me in the same square one, from where I had started my journey.
I have cried, fought tooth and nail, and prayed like my life depended on it so that I don't ever face him, ever again in my life but I guess god just does not want to listen to my prayer. I guess I was never assigned my Guardian angel who would look after me.
"WHAT HAVE I EVER DONE WRONG?"
My eyes were burning to let my tears fall but I refuse to shed tears, I refuse to fear him, I refuse to live in a shell, I refuse to be weak, I refuse to be the one who gets picked on, I refuse to be bullied by my past, I just refuse to cry, I refuse to let them dictate my life. As I was trying to prep talk myself I felt two eyes on me without looking back I thought it was Nina.
''Now before you go all ballistic on me like a mother hen, I know I overreacted, I should not have lost my temper.........." I turned mid-sentence and noticed it was not Nina but Matt, I saw his brown orbs which had a lot of concerns in them.
What do I do, how do I handle this situation, one wrong word and I am out of this case. "You might have already been kicked out of the case after the stunned you pulled in his conference room a minute ago, my inner mind passes a snarky testament." The only logical and right thing to do is to apologize to him and leave this premise with whatever shred of self-respect left in me before he utters the word 'fire'. I was about to open my mouth when he took two strides and stood right infront of me.
"It's my favorite place too, I come here when I feel overwhelmed or a sense of under accomplishment." Matt
This man who looks like he gets everything he wants in his life, feels overwhelmed too. He might be trying to just be nice to you before he fires your ass out of this building, my inner mind rolls her eyes at me. I just nod to let him know I was listening and to go ahead of whatever he's trying to tell me.
"I stand here and look down, on things and for once they seem so small and so minuscule and all the sound and chaos unheard of and so in place and sync at the same time and that gives me a sense of empowerment that my problem will be minuscule too if I reach high enough and it gives me a sense of boost to drive myself further high that all my problems just have to get smaller."
I just close my eyes, his proximity is doing something to me, it's calming me, the warmth that his body is exuding is giving me a sense of security, my inner mind is try to bask it all in. I look at him through my lashes, he looks just so perfect, there is not a single hair that is out of place, it looks like the whole world just rearranges itself for his convenience. Why is this man being so nice to me, moreover why is my mind, and more importantly my body reacting to his presence this way. It all feels so foreign but at the same time so nice like it's meant to be. He clears his throat and with that breaks my chain of thought.
"I don't know you well enough to fathom what puts you on so edge but one thing that I do know is, if James has entrusted you with this case that means you have that potential Miss Elizabeth, so let go of all the inhibition, and voices that are telling you, that you can't and prove them wrong, face them with the same aggression that was in you when you yelled at Nina and me"
I looked up to see him, he is so tall that even with my high heels I reach just upto his chin and it feels like I am looking at the sky. He had a smirk on his face and a glimpse of mischievousness in his eyes, that made him look so boyish and even more handsome if that's even possible. I was trying to form words in my mind. You are a lawyer for heaven's sake and speaking is what you do , my inner mind squints her eyes at me.
"Thank you and sorry" I say
That's all you can come up with, smart smart Anzee, barks my inner mind.
"Thank me later, when you give the opposition a run for their money and win this case for me and about the apology I'll decide whether to forgive you or not, for now, let's say other than winning this case you owe me one, miss Anzee". He whispers.
My name feels like bliss coming from his mouth, I don't even feel like correcting him, not to call me that, at this moment I feel like I'll answer to any name this man deem fit to call me by.
