We spent the rest of the day making sure that I was comfy in my new home. The only thing I had left was the 2 guest rooms and my office. I wanted to keep both offices so I could bring my major cases home with me.
"Your all set honey, You still have a few things to put away but nothing major. I'll help you pick out some bedroom suits in the morning. We need to gain some clients back also." Sam said. I shook my head and everybody left.
It was late at night and I had no food in the house. Laying in my bed staring at the ceiling, I thought about everything I've accomplished and everything that is happening now. I got out of bed and threw on my grey sweats and a Nike hoodie. Heading downstairs with my keys and my phone I went to Wal-Mart and did some grocery shopping.
Arriving at Walmart, I grabbed a shopping cart and started down the aisle.
"Hey, Your that lawyer that got him shot" This unknown girl said, I looked at her and kept on walking. "Bitch you don't hear me talking to you?" She said, then spit in my face. As soon as I was about to grab her somebody grabbed me by my waist and pulled me away from her."Your a nasty slut, and baby girl you are so lucky." I said as I was being dragged away by this stranger.
"Calm down Ma, she ain't nobody. Don't let her get you upset." A male voice said. He then gave me a napkin and put me down. I wiped the spit off my face and pulled myself together. "Thanks", I said in a calm voice. I pulled away from him and he started laughing. I've never seen him before but he was starting to annoy me because the shit wasn't funny.
"I never thought you would be the type to fight." He said still laughing. I looked him up and down and grabbed my cart pissed off. He followed me to the next aisle and I stopped and said, "Who are you and why are you fucking following me?" I snapped.
"Whoa, Ma. I'm sorry I can't continue shopping? By the way my name is Brian. Brian Carter." He said as he extended his hand. I looked at him and rolled my eyes.
"Well Brian, I appreciate the help. Can you let me be now?" I said as I walked away. I could feel him still staring at me so I turned around and said, "Perve". I then finished my shopping and went to check out.
After that I was on my way home with a shitty smell on my face . I unloaded everything out of my car and went inside to put up everything. I even took a little break in between to scrub my face. I then mad me a nice turkey sandwhich, took a long shower and got in the bed.
*The next morning*
It was 8:30a.m. and I had to get ready for work. I got in the shower, brushed my teeth and washed my face. I put on one of my cute red suits with the red jacket and red skirt that stopped at my knee with a black blouse and some cute black heals. I then curled my hair and put on some light make-up. I grabbed my purse and my bag and headed out the door.
On my way to the office I stopped and got some coffee for my coworkers and I, something I haven't done in a long time. After everything that happened, it's the best I could do, or at least I thought.When I entered the building I went to my floor and handed everybody there coffee. "Hey, its good to see you." Monica said. I smiled at her, gave her a hug, and handed her, her favorite drink. "Carmel Macchiato skinny with Sugar Free Vanilla."
"Where's Sam?" I asked.
"He is in your office." Monica said as she grabbed her tablet and followed me to my office. The first thing I had to do was bring each client to my office and have a talk with them about my absence. "Monica can you make a list of each client, with their phone number and address please?" She went to her desk and did just that.
"I found a good office look for your home office. The desk is beautiful, and it comes with filing cabnets and two chairs." Sam said, He showed me a picture and I told him to order it, right along with the two bedroom suits he picked out for me. I called every client and sent them a nice basket. I've only lost two clients but that was fine.
I started looking at some cases that weren't closed and put the ones that I would be working at home in my bag. It was going to take six weeks for all of my things to get here. I was excited and was ready for my home to be complete.
"Hey, Dominic's Mom is here to see you." Monica informed me.
"You can send her in." I said. I put all my files back in the cabinets and locked them. I then made sure my office was in good shape.
"Hi." She said. I gave her a hug and told her to have a seat.
"So What brings you down town Ms. Hall?" I asked her. Knowing she never comes to my office.
"You and Dominic." She said straight up. "Honestly, I think you would make a good girlfriend, help him keep his head on straight." She said looking me In my eyes.
"Its a reason I didn't come back to the hospital to see him. Last time I was there, His girlfriend was there. I don't come between anyone. No one really knows how I feel about Dominic." I said.
"Child please, that's not his girlfriend anymore, they've been separated for almost three years. He's awake now and I told him what happened and he snapped. If you're not busy later, could you come see him please." She said, getting up out of the chair.
"I will come see him, don't tell him Ms. Hall." I said while smiling at her. She then gave me a hug and left the office.
It was twelve o'clock and I wasn't planning on leaving the office until three. I reviewed some more cases and made some notes on the ones I wanted to take. I then contacted each person and they all told me there side of the story. I then called the main police department to see what we were up against with each case and set up something for each person.
After making due with five clients. I went home to change clothes and headed to the hospital. I parked the car and went to the gift shop to grab him some flowers and a card. I went up to his room where his mom was and I gave her a hug. I walked inside the room and he wasn't in his bed. I put the flowers on the nightstand and sat next to the bed.
Dominic then came in from the bathroom and smiled at me. I smiled back and got up to give him a hug. "If it isn't my favorite lawyer." He said as he struggled to get back in his bed.
"If it isn't my favorite client." I said as I sat in the bed beside him.
"I heard you got a little jealous when my ex came to see me. What's up with that? Thought you didn't mix business with pleasure." He said as he starred at me. I licked my lips and turned to him
"Well sir, I wasn't jealous, just upset cause you didn't tell me about her or your child." I said straight up. He was fine and I wanted to kiss him , his smile, and his broad shoulders made it even more harder for me not to go in.
"I didn't tell you about the girl because me and her are no longer together and my child or family period never came up." He said straight up. Which was something I liked about him. We sat and talked for a while and even watched tv. I was still sitting in his hospital bed and I was getting tired.
"You can relax and get comfortable MA. "He said. I did just that, I took off my shoes grabbed the cover and laid back against his chest. He felt wonderful and I was loving every minute of this. He got comfortable too and turned off the light. He then put his arms around me and we fell asleep.
30 minutes later
*Knock knock*
"Hey, son you get to go home tomorrow. The doctor--" His mom said as she walked in the room to see us sound asleep. She closed the door and sat in the chair beside us.
