Case File Name:
Reality Check.
♠Chapter Fifty-Four♠
The sun wasn't as warm as it was just hours ago and the blue sky suddenly looked so lifelessly dull.
Even I feel fucking dull.
All I feel is the familiar pit growing in my stomach as I watched one of the many baristas make a cappuccino.
Which wasn't for me.
Not after slipping out of Tazmin's bed at the early hours of seven with only three hours of sleep.
But I had work.
Which I could've skipped.
But I liked having a busy mind.
Especially today.
"Lena!" the barista called out, easily snapping me from my thoughts as I took a step forward to grab the espresso shot.
I need a fucking Red Bull too.
Which is exactly what I picked up on the way to the firm.
A place that was just how I left it.
And for the first and what I knew would be the only time today—

Everything was normal—even the typical outfit that I wore.
The usual black pleated dress with stockings and my dark hair secured into a low ponytail.
Today I didn't bother with a lot of makeup—just concealer to cover up the lack of sleep I didn't get.
Which didn't seem to affect me in the slightest, given I breezed through all my meetings and untouched cases.
But maybe that was the espresso shot and Red Bull, considering my energy began crashing around twelve.
Which left me drinking another Red Bull that I luckily picked up when I bought my first one.
I knew myself well enough to know I would need at least two.
"Yes?" I suddenly said upon hearing a knock at my office door.
And almost as soon as the word fell from my lips, the tall door was opened to reveal—
Tazmin.
Someone who looked much more rested than me.
Her face looked just as glowy as ever—with her light hair down and framing her face.
She wore her usual baggy jeans and an oversized grey t-shirt—except my black Birkin was in her hand.
Something I must've forgotten when I rushed out of her house like my life depended on it.

Romance"If you wanted me to fuck you, all you had to do was ask," Tazmin said, her raspy voice lowered as she drew one of her hands up the inside of my thigh. I clenched my jaw, "I didn't," I gritted, even if we both knew it was a full-faced lie. Especiall...
