Jury Duty

(Estelle).

Later that afternoon

"So you mean to tell me you spent the night at his place and you didn't bone at all. And you made his breakfast?!?!" He asked as I I looked at the fresh produce in the market.

I rolled my eyes laughing smelling the strawberries and added them to my shopping cart trying to add up why I invited him to join me.

"For the eightieth time Aly we were working on the suit against Costello, it was getting late and the weather was horrible outside he's not about to send me out to face that mess, he's not totally heartless. And for your information the breakfast in a way was me saying thank you for staying." I explained adding more stuff to my cart

"Essie, the only way you should be thanking that man is riding him like a cowboy, he likes you why can't you see it? It's so obvious, he defends your honour by beating Costellos musty ass face in, and he's suing him for all of his money avenging your honour. He likes you." He said eating some of the cherries.

We laughed and rolled into other isles and continued to shop as the though of Michael ran through my head all day.

I walk to my building my bags in one arm and a hot link with spicy mustard and peppers in the other. I greeted Mr. Massimo the doorman as he helped me to the elevator.

Once I got in I put the stuff away as I turned on my answering machine.

"Estella it's papa call me back when you can,"

"Essie? Aly , did I leave my black aviators at your place call me"

I put away the non perishables and then I heard his voice.

"Estelle, It's Michael. Im sorry for disturbing you at home but I've got to talk you. I'm staying at the Waldorf for a few days. Please call me when you get the chance."

I bit the tip of my nail as I picked up the phone and dialled him back.

"Michael Jackson's room please." I said to the front desk.

I'm transferred as I hear his voice.

"Hello?" He said sounding as smooth as silk and velvet.

"Michael, it's me Estelle. I got your message." I said picking at my nails

"Estelle I'm glad you called I wanted to talk about something important about the...uh the case."  He said

"Okay I can come over with the files if that helps?" I said trying to conceal my happiness.

"That's great how's seven o'clock?" He asked

"Seven sounds great with me I'll see you then." I bite my lip to keep from smiling

"Great I'll have a car come for you, I'll see you tonight Estelle." He said before we hung up the phone.

I hung up the phone and started squealing happily high schooler.

I ran to the shower a started to get readying, I showered, did my hair and makeup and looked for something wear. 

I went with my black dress pants with little buttons on the them, along with my favourite lace blouse. Once I finished getting dressed and got my briefcase and coat. 

I put on heels and walked down to the car tying my hair in a ponytail.

Nerves run my stomach as I got in the car I was so excited to see Michael again I enjoyed spending time with him, being near him puts me at ease. I fixed my lipstick as we soon pulled up to hotel.
