Law And Order SVU Reader Imagines

Job Interview (Barba)

   "So now that you're a graduated law student you think you can run this place?"  Your friend F/n asks in both of you's apartment.
You laughed. You loved how F/n had their own sense of humor. Of course, it went too far sometimes but they were still a good person.
   "Of course not F/n and don't forget I'm second in charge anyways so I already have more power than you"
  "Oh, I'm sorry I forget that your boss' girlfriend," F/n said mockingly referring to the rich handsome man who owned the building and was often asking you to dates. You turned beet red at F/N comment.
   "You know I'm not F/L/N," you said seriously.
   "Sure but it's bound to happen one of these days have you seen the way you guys look at each other?"
   "Shut up F/n!" you exclaimed as you threw a pillow at them. The pillow hit them right in the face as they recovered from the sudden reaction. At that moment you hear your phone ring from across the room.
   "I bet it's your boyfriend asking if everything's alright," F/n says to you teasingly. You throw them a glare as you grab your phone and answer, "Hello?"
   A voice that sounds like an old man asks, "Is this Y/n?"
  "Definitely not your boyfriend," F/n mutters disappointedly.
   "Um yes that is me," you respond while shooting F/n a shut-up glare.
   "Hi, I'm Robert Stone. Would you be interested in coming in by my office later for a job offer?"
   "Job offer for?"
   "I'm looking for a replacement for an Assistant District Attorney here in Manhattan and well, you interested me as a candidate"
    You were surprised that this man was considering you as Assistant District Attorney. Especially considering the fact that you were freshly out of college. You pondered on it for a moment before saying, "Sure I'd love to."
   "I'll see you at 3 then," Robert told you before he hung up.
You glanced at the clock. It was 1:45. You had about an hour to get ready.
   By the time you were done, it was about 2:35. You glanced at yourself in the mirror one last time before leaving. You thought about taking your motorcycle and we're thankful you had decided to wear office dress pants that day. You grabbed your helmet and rode all the way to the District Attorney's office.
   Once there you stood in front of the building just looking at it in awe knowing good things were in store for you. You confidently walked in. It was busy inside with people barking orders and others running errands and delivering papers. At the front desk, there was a woman at the desk busy with a phone call. You waited patiently until she was done.
   "How may I help you?" the woman asked you.
   "Hi, I was looking for Robert Stone's office. I'm here for an interview."
   "Oh yes! Of course!" she said joyfully, "The fifth floor, go down the hall, first door to your left."
   "Thank you so much," you said and headed off to the office.
Once you got there you stood in front of the door about to knock but stopped when you heard raised voices from the other side.            

"Robert she's lying! Her story has many flaws there is almost no proof Prussner raped her" one voice said.

  "Even if she is lying what evidence do we have to connect him to the rape?" the other voice, Robert said.

   "He was there at the bar the night of the rape," the first voice who now had a name, Barba said.
   "Get more solid evidence and see where it takes you. Now go I have a meeting in a little while."
   "Meeting with who?" Barba asked with evident curiosity in his voice.
   "With people," Robert responded flatly.
   "About?" Barba pressed.
Robert sighed, "If it'll make you go away I'm meeting with someone to be your second chair."
There was deep silence before Barba said, "Oh. I forgot all about that."
   "Well the case isn't going to solve itself now, is it? Go!"
  You walked back towards the wall so the door wouldn't hit you. The door swung open and out walked a man. He looked a bit older but not too much and had a handsome face. He noticed you by the wall and smiled at you.
   "You must be the person meeting Robert for his meeting."
You found his smile incredibly charming as you answered, "Yes that's me."
   "I'm Rafael Barba. I'm the attorney for SVU. If you're lucky you'll be working with me." he said extending his hand out for a handshake.
   You smiled and shook his hand, " I'm Y/n L/n, and wish me luck in there."
    Rafael gave a small chuckle before leaning in towards you and whispered, "I hope he picks you," and you felt chills down your back as he left. Your noticed Robert at the doorway shaking his head. "That boy will never learn." You blushed before Robert invited you into his office.
   "So Miss L/n how are you today?" was Robert's first question.
   "I'm doing well thank you."
   "I know you just got out of law school but I was hoping to get some fresh new eyes around here. You have lots of potentials, Miss Y/n and I can see that best put out here in the office."
   You gawked at what Robert had just said. He wanted YOU to work here.
   "I um don't know what to say." You said to him truthfully.
   Robert chuckled, "Yes I would like the job would be a nice answer."
You smiled at him and said just that.
------------------------------------------------------
    You walked out of the DA's office full of excitement. You had a job! You smiled and hummed softly to yourself as you walked to the elevator.
   After a moment the elevator dinged and the doors opened. You waited as people got out before stepping in yourself. You surveyed the place around you know you'd be here tomorrow as you hit the first-floor button. Right as the door was about to close you heard a voice say, "Hold the door!"
   You put her arm out to stop the door and saw who the voice belonged to. Rafael Barba broke out into a smile when he saw you at the elevator and you couldn't help but smile back at the handsome man.
   "Well how'd it go?" he asked you as you both stepped into the elevator.
   "It went," you said to him with no emotion in your voice.
   "What do you mean it went?" he asked obviously curious to know if you had the job or not.
     You shrugged deciding to tease him, "Oh you know the interview just, happened and we talked but nothing happened at all." you paused to glance at Rafael's face to see impatience plastered all over his face. "How adorable," you thought to yourself.
   "Well, as in what?" his voice growing impatient. At that moment the elevator doors opened to the main floor. You smiled and walked out in direction of the exit. Rafael had to jog to catch up with you.
   "Are you going to tell me?" he asked.
    "I'd love to but I have to be somewhere," you said knowing it would annoy the man.
    Rafael actually looked very annoyed. He thought for a moment and grinned mischievously before saying, "Well if you're not busy later we could go out to dinner and talk."
   You gawked at his proposal obviously not expecting him to come back like that. Determined to keep up your act you said, "I would like that actually."
   "Ok meet me here at 8?"
   "Ok" you replied as you walked towards the parking lot with a huge smile on your face.
