I'll be trying weekly updates for this book. I hope you guys like it because I was to excited and I didn't want to wait anymore to post the first chapter.
Chasidy's pov
If I got paid the amount of times I roll my eyes at this job I wouldn't need to be here. Being the only black woman doesn't help anything.
I'm Chasidy Johnson, fresh out of law school and I'm already tired of working under people. Just turned 24 in September and the Virgo in me is raging every time I step foot in here. My boss belittles me because I'm young and a woman. I only know he's not racist because he kisses his "top attorney's" ass. Jamal.
"Ms. Johnson I need you in my office please"
And the bullshit starts.
I step out of my cubicle space to make my way over to his office. I stand in front of his desk with my hands behind my back waiting for him to speak. He picked up a file and handed it over before taking a seat.
"I got a request this morning for a potential high paying client. They wanted you. Asked for you specifically by name. "
To say I'm surprised is an understatement. For my boss to pull me aside for something like this is a big deal. Usually everyone but me gets called in here.
"I don't know how they know of you but I'm pretty sure I don't have to say don't screw this up. But please do not screw this up rookie. There's alot riding on this." He sighed and massaged his forehead like he was already defeated but I'll show him.
"I won't let you down sir. You'll see."
I leave his office and immediately go sit down to crack open this file. My client has court this afternoon at 2 so that gives me some time to touch base with them before we walk into the court room. I don't know what I expected when I read through this file but I didn't expect this.
-At the courthouse-
To say that I'm a ball of nerves isn't a lie. It's not because I have to stand in front of a judge. No I've done that may times before. My nerves are bad because of the man about to walk through this door any second now. When the door screeched my eyes snap towards it.
" Chasidy Johnson this is your defendant Hoseok Jung. You have 30 minutes to touch base with one another before he goes to see the judge." The officer shoved him into the room and it's like we can't take our eyes from each other.
"Thank you officer. Would you mind removing his cuffs while we're here?" I see the officer hesitant before shrugging and taking them off then leaving us alone.
"Cha-" I slapped him. All these years and this is how we see each other again. Ever since I left for college he bearly communicated with me directly. In law school he completely ignored me. I thought I did something wrong. He still talked to every fuckin body else. My dad and my brother hell even my bestfriend said he speaks when they cross paths.
"Baby let me explain."
"I'm grown now so don't Ight."
Let me give y'all a back story for some context. Hoseok wasn't my man back then. He's my big brothers best friend but I always had the biggest crush on him. Hoseok always was a gentleman towards me and he and my brother really did spoil me. But It was when I was 16 I realized it was more than a silly crush.
When he called me baby for the very first time.
-Flashback ~
I was arguing with Hoseok one day about them calling me lil girl all the damn time. That shit was mad annoying. So I asked him would you like it if I called you lil boy?
"Hell nah. Cause ain't shit little this way. But I feel you I feel you. How about this I'll call you baby. You like that?"
"W-why baby?"
"Cause you literally are the baby of our friend group. And you little as fuck only coming up to my chest and shit." He walks up on me with this sexy smirk that I have to look up at. My heart is pounding out my chest by the time my back met a wall and I'm trapped.
"I g-guess you c-can." He steps back looking satisfied with himself.
"Ight I'm going upstairs to finish playin the game wit bro. Imma kick it wit you later baby."
End of flashback
"Come on Chas you know I didn't want you to come back and see me here of all places. "
"Look I got evidence that'll have you home. So when you get outta here you have hella explaining to do okay?"
"Okay baby. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry Chasidy."
I break from my anger and I hug him. I have the back of his jumpsuit in my fist as I squeezed him as tight as I could. And he held me just as tight while repeatedly kissing my forehead.
6 years and bearly any communication.
A hug from my Hobi feels nice.
Y'all this is gonna be one of those hood stories. So buckle up because it's gon be wild.☠️😂
