Chapter 53: There's always a good side to bad things

"There you go," Hailee said as soon as she saw the lawyer waiting by her car. Fallon had asked to meet her at the police station and help with the problem at Jauregui's school, but when they were inside she hadn't said a word to Hailee, which left her confused because not long ago they were naked in her apartment.

"Hello," Fallon flirted and Hailee rolled her eyes.

"I already saw you today"

"Yes," She said slowly "And my day keeps getting better and better"

"I thought you were going to ignore me" She admitted "You didn't even look at me in there"

"I didn't want to distract myself" The redhead shrugged and ok, she could understand wanting to be professional, it was only difficult because they had sex less than a day ago. "I take my job seriously," she said firmly.

"I know" Hailee also took hers "I know Zayn Malik, he told me a lot about you..." She hesitated "And I also take my job seriously, I don't appreciate being treated like your maid, I came to you today to do you a favor but don't call me to solve your problems "

"Look who's getting her claws out" Fallon laughed and Hailee frowned, she wasn't kidding "I know, I appreciate you coming" She calmed down with the redhead's words "And Zayn Malik? Really?" She laughed scornfully "Do you know his lawyer too, Selena?"

"They are my best friends" She's defensive of them.

"What a small world" The lawyer laughed out loud "Send her my regards, and say I can't wait to win again in court"

"Yeah, I think she won't like to hear that" Hailee gave a small smile

"They never like it," She said seriously "But I never lose"

"You are very self-confident, you know?" Hailee came around to get in the car "It displeases many people..."

"But not you" She held her against the door, passed her face on her neck inhaling her scent "You like it"

"Do I?" She challenged

"Hm" She murmured and stole a little peck from the brunette "Are you still going to say no to going out with me?"

Hailee hesitated, the redhead's proximity made her think slowly but her heart was pounding. Could she do that? Could she give the woman a chance?

She seemed so arrogant, and self-centered... It made her excited, she knew she was attracted to people like that, but the last time she was involved with someone it had ended in disaster and almost ended her life, she had become someone that she hated...

Hailee looked at the woman, so closely that she could see inside her eyes, a little play, desire, and curiosity running inside them.

Fuck it.

"Ok" murmured "Let's have dinner"

It's in God's hands now.

Camila thought that giving Lauren the night to think would be a good idea...

Why she had been so stupid she would never know...
She knew, Camila had become insecure, her earlier conversation with Lauren about feeling vulnerable and the request nevertheless had left her confused but after rolling all night in bed and almost ending their relationship on the phone - again - she understood it better.

It was Camila's first serious relationship, not that she hadn't dated before, she had her boyfriends here and there but she knew that she didn't get involved with them the way she was involved with Lauren and it scared her for a moment.
