Harumi rolled on her left to look at the time. "Shit!" Harumi leapt out of bed and hurried to get dressed, do her makeup. "Hair? No, I don't have time."
"Woah, Rumi. You good?"
"No! I'm not!" Harumi rushed around the apartment to grab her stuff. "Sorry" Harumi pecked Lloyd's lips. "I'm gonna be late, I have to get to work.. Soon! Shit! My car's in the shop. God, could this morning get any worse?"
"I can take you to work, I don't have a lot to do today."
"Really?"
"Yes, now c'mon you're gonna be late." Lloyd gently grabbed Harumi's arm, leading her to his car.
"Thank you!" Harumi hugged Lloyd as they pulled up to the law office.
"Hey, we're even five minutes early." Lloyd nudged Harumi's arm. Lloyd walked with Harumi to the door. "What time do I need to get you?"
"Uhh.. I'll ask Mystake and I'll text you. Ok? See you later." Harumi pecked Lloyd's cheek.
"I don't think so." Lloyd chuckled, whipping Harumi around into a deep, soft kiss. Harumi leaned back so that Lloyd could deepen the kiss.
"Now, I will see you later." Harumi shoved the glass doors open.
Harumi walked over to her office and pushed the door open. "Hey, Harumi!" A familiar voice called to the white blonde.
"Oh, hey Mike!" Harumi called her co-worker. They had become good friends, since Harumi is one of the best lawyers, and Mike is new. "You need help?"
"Yeah.."
"Ok, what's it about?" Harumi leaned on her desk. The 36 year old Mike walked over and placed the files on the desk next to her.
"Custody over a 6 year old girl. The parents are divorced, and they are having this fight about it."
"Who's side are you protecting?"
"The mother, she currently has a hold of the child."
"Tell me details, while I get coffee." Harumi and Mike walked out of her office, and headed to the kitchen. Mike told Harumi the details as they walked and finally arrived at the kitchen.
"You seem a lot more tired than usual, and you didn't do your hair." Mike commented on Harumi's straight hair, which she usually curls.
"Oh, late night." Harumi took a sip of her warm coffee.
"Do you finally have a boyfriend? Even just a love life?" Or are you still that same work, work, work, and sometimes go out with the girls Harumi that I know?"
"You know me so well, I do not currently have a boyfriend, still." Harumi laughed. "How's Maddie?"
"No, yeah. She's doing better, the doctors say that she should recover soon."
"Yay, maybe I should visit her."
"I'm sure she would love to see you. Also, who was the one blonde guy with you at the trial yesterday?"
"That's Lloyd."
"Lloyd?"
"My roommate, we have to share the apartment."
"I see." Mike said with a playful smirk as he walked away.
"Mike, I'll tell your wife that you continue intruding into trying to get me a wife!" Harumi saw Mike middle finger her from a few feet away. "Rude!" Mike was out of earshot so he didn't respond. Harumi shook her head and headed back into her office with her coffee.
*Ping!*
Harumi flipped her phone screen so that it now faces her, the text number was Lloyds (Yes, she does have his name in her contacts not just a number)
Lloyd: Hey, how's work?
Harumi: It's good, Mike needed help with his case.
Lloyd: Mike?
Harumi: Don't be jealous! He's 36, married, and has a daughter in the hospital. We've been working together for a year and a half. He asks for my help on a lot of stuff since I'm the best in my field.
Lloyd: You got that right! What time do I need to bring you home at?
Harumi: Omg it sounds like we're in highschool and you're asking me what time I need to be home from a date lmao. But, come get me around 7ish give or take.
Lloyd: Ok, see u later!
Harumi: You too! 🤭
Harumi went back to reviewing her newest case about 'man embezzles half a million from his bank job' "Oh mon garçon" (French)
"How's it going?" Mystake popped her head into Harumi's office.
Harumi's body visibly jolted slightly "Jesus! You startled me." Harumi laughed.
"I'm allowed to scare you.."
"I hear an 'until' coming"
"Unless your boyfriend comes along." Mystake smirked. This is why Harumi loved having Mystake as a boss, she loves having fun teasing Harumi.
"Wha- what?"
"I saw the boy that dropped you off. I'm so happy for you!" Mystake ran over to Haraumi and gave her an excited hug.
"Me and him aren't actually dating..."
"What? You must be by how you two acted when he dropped you off. Why did he drop you off?"
"My car is in the shop. And yeah.. We aren't a 'thing' yet." Harumi airquoted.
"Well get straight to that when you get home!" Mystake exited Harumi's office before she could protest.
"Oh mon dieu." (French) Harumi scoffed.
The work day ended almost in a blur. Harumi had planned for when her car was out of the shop she would visit Maddie, Mike's daughter, from the hospital. Lloyd came to pick up Harumi, and had to deal with Harumi's work friend's questions.
"Are you two dating?" A woman in a navy blue dress asked the blondes.
"No!" Lloyd and Harumi said in sync.
"Harumi never said she had a love life." Mike stepped forward.
"We're roommates!" Harumi yelled to the whole building. "We have to share the apartment, we have separate bedrooms. Ok, we are friends." Harumi motioned between her and Lloyd.
"Ok, if you say so." Mike retreated to his office. Mystake stood in the corner, knowing better than the rest.
Lloyd and Harumi left the building and entered Lloyd's car. "So.. what was that?"
"My co-workers," Harumi grumbled.
"Yeah, I know that much. But why are they so obsessed with your lovelife?" Lloyd started the drive home.
"I don't know, I mean, I've never had a boyfriend or anything like that. They're always going on and on about how 'a pretty girl like me should have a boyfriend'."
"I see.. This may or may not be a bad time but, do you want to go out to dinner tonight?" Lloyd pulled into the parking garage.
"Yes! I would like that very much." Harumi and Lloyd both exited the car.
"Great, I'll get reservations at one of Ninjago's finest restaurants." Lloyd stated proudly.
"No, you really don't have to do that." Harumi and Lloyd linked arms.
"Well I'm going to."
"No."
"Yes."
"No."
"Asshole."
"Mine." Lloyd kissed Harumi's forehead, and picked her up bridal style to carry her into the apartment.
"Fine. You may."
"Good, go get ready, we leave in under an hour."
"Ok." Harumi pranced over to her room.
