Sequel to 'Being In Love With A Woman'
It's been 2 years since their breakup.
Skylar is in a good place in her life, with someone new.
Taylor owns the hottest new art gallery In the city and is on her way to opening her first hotel and then she get...
God was blessing me. I was a criminal defense attorney, I was young but I was damn good. I hadn't lost one case yet. Most people who've been doing it for a long time would hate until we were together in the courtroom. I just bought my own little house. Still in downtown Philly but a little bigger with two floors on Lombard st. I was happy for the most part, I went home everyday to a little man named Biggy. He was a constant reminder of my ex- but I think that's why I loved him so much.
As fate would have it- today on my way into the office I got a call from Zora telling me Taylor had been arrested by the Feds and needed a lawyer. My heart had sunk at the mention of her being arrested but I didn't let her hear it in my voice. I asked what precinct she was at and went there.
The charges were bullshit. And they couldn't hold her. She didn't do anything criminally wrong- or nothing they could at least prove.
I watched her like I always did. Her beauty seemed to startle me. Even though she's been here for a while- she still look freshly dressed and well rested.
I was annoyed- I didn't quite have a reason why but I was mad at her for being so careless and getting arrested.
"The next time I spoke to you I wanted to have my shit together and be asking you to marry me. But these circumstances will work", she said.
I tried not to smile at her comment but eventually failed.
"Where's your car Taylor?"
"Aestheticz"
"Okay. I'll take you there. Go home, shower, get some sleep-"
"Ard then you'll meet back at my place for dinner?"
She was going to make this hard. "No Taylor- we aren't having dinner. You're going to come meet me for breakfast in the morning. You need to go handle shit for work"
"I like it when you tell me what to do", she said it with a little smirk on her face.
I refrained from smiling back. "Let's go- I need to get to the office"
It didn't take but a couple minutes to get to Aestheticz and when I pulled up along side her car she did move to get out.
"Uhm-"
"Damn you just pulled up? What you wanted me to jump out the car while it was still moving?"
I had to giggle at that one- but said nothing because she was making me nervous.
"See you tomorrow morning Skylar. I love you"
"I lo- see you tomorrow"
Taylor got out my car and into her own- I almost let I love you slip out my mouth. I don't even know why- do I still love her? No- and even if I do- it's something I don't need to be thinking about.
March 11th. 5:00 pm
I'm finally getting home after a long day of work. It felt good to be in my own space and my girlfriend Sasha met me here since I hadn't seen her in over a week-. Sasha was pretty- tomboyish- with a gorgeous smile. She had pretty light skin with a drop of honey in it. She was kind and thoughtful. She was everything. She just wasn't her.

But my head wasn't really into whatever she had been talking about since we got in the house. All I could think about was my new case- Taylor's case. I'm feeling strong about winning Taylor's case. They do want her to rat on the person who is selling her the art but they can't make her.
She's never stole anything- all the art pieces that she sold- she bought legally from him. How he got them was none of her concern.
"Yo Sky- where you at baby? I'm talking and you not giving me no feedback"
"Oh I'm sorry- I'm thinking about a new case"
I was debating about telling her who my client was- I landing on saying nothing but my mouth had a mind of its own.
"My client is Taylor..."
"Your ex?"
"Mhm"
"Why?"
"Needed a lawyer"
"So it just had to be you huh?"
"Let's not do this..."
"This girl broke your heart Skylar"
"I know. I was there when it happened"
She was making me mad. The relationship would be strictly professional- I think.
"Don't act like I'm not allowed to feel any type of way"
You're not.
"That's not how I'm acting. I just want you to cool out. I don't have any feelings for anymore"
I hope.
"You sure? I know I'm being a little insecure-"
"No. No. You aren't and yes. I'm sure"
I plan on saying that until I believe it.
March 11th. 10:36 pm
I was just about to get into bed- Sasha was sleeping peacefully and I just finished the paperwork on my last case.
I set my alarm on my phone and set it on my night stand. Before I could get comfortable my text tone went off.
Taylor
I just wanted to say I'm hype as shit to see you tomorrow morning. I plan on flirting a whole lot. So be prepared. And guess what? I'm going to be on time 😁 Gn. I love you
I guess I can say thank you now for you attempting to be on time. Because we both know you won't be. Be ready to work though. Goodnight
I shook my head because in the pit of my stomach I could feel butterflies and I know it was because I couldn't wait to see her tomorrow.
