You and Me| Patrick Mahomes

Chapter Three: The Big Win

I was sitting in my office with Yeri going over the information we had found last night........

"Did you hear back from Judge Harris?" I asked her.

"Yes, I did. He said we can use it as evidence. I also got in touch with the police and they said they can get the security footage for us."

" Great! Looks like we might win this case."

"All thanks to Patrick for giving you the amazing idea."

"Shut up!" I said rolling up some paper and throwing it at her.

"So is the whole Kwon clan coming to the wedding," I asked changing the subject.

"Nice change of topic," Yer said smirking at me

"But yes to answer your question everyone is coming."

"I can't wait to meet your family!"

"I know I can't wait for you to meet them too."

"I am so hungry," I said

"Yeah me too. Let's go out to eat?"

"I was thinking I might go home and eat something while getting some work done," I said as Donna walked into my office.

"Ryan your car is ready to be picked up."

"Yes! I hated not having a car! Ok so now I am going grocery shopping and home." I said getting up and packing my stuff up.

"Do you need a ride there?" Yeri asked me.

"No, I will take a taxi. I want to be alone. I will see you all on Monday. Yeri let me know when you get this security fridge from Harry's house." I said walking away.

Once I got outside I let out a big sigh. I don't know why but it just felt right. I looked around for a taxi driver when a car pulled up next to me. The window rolled down and I saw it was Mike.

"Get in."

"What are you doing?"

"I know you, Ryan. I have known you longer than Yeri. You told her that you wanted to be alone when in reality you didn't want her offer to drive you."

"I love Yeri but I don't want to hear her talking about Patrick," I said up his car and got in.

"I know but she is just looking out for you."

"I know but I just wish she would stop talking about it! I am happy with Dean."

"I am saying this as your best friend you need to break up with Dean he is a jerk," Mike said. The rest of the car ride was silent. I just sat there thinking about what Mike said. I mean yes I was happy with Dean but was I really happy with him? I mean yeah Dean did nice things for me. He made me feel happy made me feel seen listened to me. I never felt the pain of jealousy every time someone flirted with him. I just found it funny and sat there and laughed as if Dean wasn't my boyfriend but like my best friend and it was like watching the best friend getting hit out by girls. The truth was that I had been thinking about breaking up with Dean for a while now. I just couldn't bring myself to do it.

Once Mike got to the auto shop I thanked him one last time before getting out of his car. I walked up to the shop and paid got in my car and drove away. As I was driving I had the sudden urge to go for a run. I drove home and quickly changed got out my phone AirPod and keys.

I stepped out of my house, closed my door, and began stretching before I took off, running into the unknown.

After my run, I decided that I would go to the grocery store and pick up some things to maybe make a steak. I grabbed my keys and my wallet and my way to the grocery store. I picked up some snacks, some fruit, vegetables, more ketchup, and of course the steak. I saw that it was on sale so I got two instead of one. I even picked up a bottle of wine. I paid for everything and loaded everything In my car driving home.
