The Lawyer (W|W)

Chapter 10

"What are you still doing here??" I asked her in an annoyed manner. She didn't answer me. She just looked at me as if I just said nonsense to her. Before I could speak again, she held up a half empty bottle. 

"Do you really want to kill this baby huh??" She asked with hint of anger in her voice. Oh so now she's angry. How cute. "Why are you sounding angry?? Don't be mad it's not like its dead or something." I said. Before she could speak up, my phone rang. I wondered who's it.

I checked the caller ID and saw that it was Andy so I answered it. "Hey." I said with a smile. "Oh thank God you answered your phone, I've been calling your ass for the hundredth time because I'm worried about you because you didn't even call the office to tell us you're sick or anything. I felt like I lost you for a moment."

She said in one breathe. I chuckled at her drama. "Relax I'm okay girl, I just overslept due to my pregnancy." I lied. Honestly, I'm not okay I wanna jump off a roof and secondly I didn't oversleep because of pregnancy, I overslept because of the alcohol I took last night.

"Oh I'm glad you okay, by the way is Brooke there because she came here looking for you and when I told her you weren't here she panicked and immediately asked for your address."

I sighed looking at Brooke. "She's here... I actually woke up and found her here..." I said still looking at Brooke. "Well then I'll come over when I get off work alright?" She said assuring me. I hummed in response she then hung up. I placed the phone on my bed and walked to my walk-in closet.

I walked back to my room wearing a pair of PJs that were a shade of baby blue. I found Brooke busy with her phone still laying on my bed. She's starting to get annoying now. I thought I told her to go. Wait I didn't actually say it yet... "Brooke I asked you a question." I said. "And what was your question??" She asked me making me feel dumb. I scoffed "So you weren't listening to me at all."

I questioned feeling myself boil with anger. "Just repeat yourself please." She said rolling her eyes at me. "Why are you still here Brooke??" I asked with my arms crossed. She stood up making her way to where I was standing. I gulped. She still makes me nervous. Her presence makes me nervous. I made sure she didn't notice how she makes me nervous. I don't want her feel powerful because of this.

"It's unlike you to never go to work, you can't tell me that it is the hormones of the pregnancy. It's also unlike you to drown yourself in alcohol, let alone drink whiskey. I know you are into red wine, what made you go all the way into drinking whiskey hmmm??" She asked still walking towards me while I walked back my back hitting the wall. I gulped once again.

I looked down. "It's nothing I just felt like drinking some of it." She placed her finger under my chin raising my head so I could face her. "I know you lying. Tell me what's wrong??" She asked looking worried. I can't just tell her that she was the cause of it. I can't tell her I have fallen for her. I can't just say I was jealous when I saw her with her girlfriend yesterday. So I'll lie. Yes I'll just come up with lie.

"I was thinking about how my baby is going to be fatherless. I don't wanna go through all this all alone and thinking about it hurts my head." I said shakily so it's believable. "Marissa you do know you are not alone, I'm here for you. I don't know why you wanna handle all this alone whilst I'm here. Don't do that." She said while holding my face. She was actually convinced with my lie.

I'm proud of the lie I came up with. She didn't even know it was a lie. She surely thinks I'm really hurt this matter huh. Well played Marissa, well played. She placed one of her hands on my waist and looked at me. Whoa what's about to happen here right. What is she trying to do now??

I hope she isn't about to do what I'm thinking she might do. She looks me in my eyes and starts to lean in. No this is wrong. She has a girlfriend and she knows that what's about to happen is wrong. I cleared my throat.

"I'm feeling a little hungry." I said making her move away from my face without removing her hand away from my waist. "What do you wanna eat??" She asked and I notice her voice has went very raspy. I just shrugged. I hadn't realised of how hungry I am until now. Brooke took my hand and led me out of the bedroom taking both of us downstairs to the kitchen.

I got seated on top of the kitchen counter so I can see what Brooke was up to in the kitchen. She offered to make me something nice because she knows I haven't had homemade food in a long time according to her.

"I've been asking for the past 40 minutes, what are you making??" I asked whining. She's been answering me with a "I'll be done in any minute." and I'm starting to get annoyed and pissed and I'm on the edge of crying because of how hungry I am. "If you don't finish in any minute from now, I'll murder you and feed you to my neighbour's dogs." I said hoping it threatens her but she just chuckles and continues with what she's busy with.

After what felt like eternity she turned to me holding a plate with what looked like alfredo. It's my favourite and it has been a while since I had some of the alfredo. my smile grew wider as she made her way to me. I opened to my arms out waiting for the plate to get into my hands.

She finally gave me the plate and took a seat on a chair that was next to my legs and faced me. She smiled at me. I started eating. I moaned at the taste of creamy alfredo and sighed. It has really been a while since I ate some of the alfredo. Last person to cook it for me was my grandma from England.

"How's the food?? Do you like it??" She asked. "Like?? No I love the food. It remains me of home." I said giggling. I looked back at Brooke and she was looking at me with a foreign look. She suddenly moved her hand to my face. "You have a little something on your face." She said touching the side of my lips.

Why are you so good to me Brooke?
