Chapter 5-A little "why not" and a dash of "screw it" never hurt anyone

I let out a sigh as I walked out of the room a second time but this time my boss followed after me. Not going to lie he made me a little uncomfortable. I always felt his lingering gaze on me while his eyes stared me up and down like prey hunting an animal. But this paid internship was the only thing keeping me afloat.
"Hey what are you doing to night?" Robert questioned.
"I um...have a social science quiz tomorrow that I have to study for." I quickly made up on the spot.
"Can't you skip studying for one night?" he asked as walked closer to me. Here's the thing, Robert is my professor and every year he chooses 1 student to work under him and it was me. We work for him all summer and in the fall we get to take on a case. I knew he was divorced with 2 sons in college, all pigs. He abused his wife and she got most of the money in the divorce while he got custody of the kids I remember his sons were at the office once and they cat call every single woman who walked by, my blood boiled when they tried to do it to me but I "tripped" and jabbed my heel into one of the boys foots.
"Ouch!" The oldest brother shrieked in pain as he brought his foot up to his chest. It's always the ones with the biggest egos.
"Careful where you stick your feet, you could have ruined my red bottoms with your what is it...fake 'Berluti' shoes?" I made sure my accent slipped when the r rolled off my tongue. I strutted away as the boys sat dumbfounded, jaws wide open. I knew damn well these were my last nice things but hey they were sure good for something. I can sleep comfortably in my studio apartment knowing I'm living paycheck to paycheck if it means breaking the egos of actually spoiled rich boys . Pigs. I shook my thoughts away as Robert snapped in my face obviously taking into account that I wasn't listening.
"So you free or not?" He asked impatiently while tapping his foot.
"No sorry." I said making a sorry face and as soon as he turned around my smile dropped. Twice. They let my new client go because he was just brought in for questioning and because only half of his license plate was found and the footage was blurry he was let go until his trial date. I saw him walk out the jail with a nice suit on, it was all black and I gotta say damn he looked fine. He glanced over at me checking him out and winked. I simply wanted to evaporate because that was when I knew I screwed up. I checked my phone only to realize my bus had passed 5 minutes ago and I missed it, the next one was coming in 45 minutes due to traffic as it started to rain. But Willow lived near by, it's been two weeks since I've seen her and at this time I needed a friend and a change of socks. I contemplated it and why not? I've already missed my bus and my chances of making it home on time to review the case details were gone. Screw it!

A/N: hey y'all! My Christmas gift to all of you guys is a new chapter. And my new year resolution is to write more. I'm think of writing a new book so maybe it's a sign. So the "change of socks from the rain " thing is inspired by Euphoria idk if y'all remember that one episode...anyways yeah!
