Finding Love In A Hopeless Place

A REAL ONE

“Hey mina can you pull my files for the meeting i have in 20 minutes” i asked over the phone. “Yeah i'll pull them right now and bring it to you” “ard thank you love” “no problem” she said then hung up. I have a meeting with the district attorney on malaysia case, so malaysia and the attorney should both be on their way. I actually haven't spoken to or seen malaysia in over a week since we went bowling and out to eat. I have been over my head busy with cases and other things that had to do with the firm. She has been texting and calling me i just never got the chance to respond back. I heard a knock on the door which pulled me back to reality.

“Come in” i yelled and watched as mina walked in with some files in one hand and a large cup of coffee in the other.

“I got you a cup of coffee from the cafe” she sat the files down and passed me the coffee

“Thank you so much, you know i need it” she laughed and looked at me.

“Malaysia just walked into the office but she's still in the doorway on the phone” i nodded and stood from my chair.
“Thanks, let's get out there and get her then we can go to the conference room. I need you there to take some notes” she nodded and walked out in front of me. I grabbed my files and my briefcase in one hand & my coffee in the other. I then walked out shutting my door. As we rounded the corner i seen malaysia standing at the front desk looking at her phone. I walked up to her to greet her. “Good morning ms.williams” she looked up at me and nodded. I guess she's upset. I rolled my eyes a little and then told her to follow me to the conference room. I told mina to wait up front until the DA got here and then come back with her.

“So you cant text or call me back? What you dodging me?” she asked as soon as the door closed. I shook my head and looked at her.

“I have been really busy is all, i meant to respond but i just had a lot on my plate” she giggled but not a friendly laugh. “And you don't think i be the fuck busy but i take a minute out of my fucking day to text and call you to make sure you straight and you can't do the same”

“Malaysia it's not like that” “nah fuck you, if it ain't about my case dont say shit to me”. Before i could respond there was a knock on the door. “Come in” i yelled as i walked to the front of the table to sit down. In walks district attorney thomson, one bitch i could not stand. “Good morning ms.Harrison, ms.Williams” malaysia nodded at her and then took a seat two chairs over from me. Mina came and sat on the other side of me and thomson sat across from us. “Well let's get down to business shall we” i said pulling out my pen and pad.

“We want to make you an offer” thomas said. I nodded for her to keep talking. “You plead guilty and do 15 years with a chance of parole after 10” malaysia laughed but again not a friendly laugh. “Bitch you crazy” i looked over at malaysia silently telling her to shut up. She shook her head and sat back pulling her phone back out. “Now mrs.thomas you know that isn't going to work” she nodded her head and pulled out a paper. “Well i have an eye witness that will be testifying” she slide me the paper then stood up. “I will see you in court next monday, nice day” she said as she exited the room.

I'm tired of these stupid ass 5 minute meetings with these people, i thought to myself as i stood up. “We need to go over a few things at least by friday and then we will just go to court and fight it out” she nodded her head still looking at her phone. “I will have my assistant call you with a time and day by this evening” she smacked her teeth “i guess so since ya ass cant pick up the phone” she mumbled while walking to the door. “Wait can i speak to you in my office real fast” she looked at me “is it about my case” i nodded my head knowing it isn't but i know that's the only way she would stay. She looked at me again probably not believing me. She nodded her head and stepped to the side so i could walk out. Once we got to my office i told mina to let me know when my 11 o’clock gets here and then we walked in and closed the door. She sat in the chair in front of my desk and i leaned against the front of my desk. “Malaysia, i wasn't trying to ignore you or anything i just-” i paused trying to think of the words. She looked at me waiting for me to finish. “I just don't know what i'm feeling” i stood from the desk and walked behind it to sit in my chair. She still looked at me waiting for me to explain i guess. “I never had no feelings like this for a girl and damn sure not nobody like you so i'm kinda confused.” she nodded her head “whatchu mean somebody like me?” she asked with a smirk. I smacked my teeth “you know what i mean, i'm use to all the preppy stuck up niggas, i haven't been with a hood nigga since i was 16 years old.” she laughed and ran her hand through her hair. I never noticed how long and beautiful her hair was since she always had it in a ponytail or braided up. “Hello” she waved her hand in my face. “Yeah?” i asked snapping out my trance. “Did you hear me” i shook my head no, she rolled her eyes. “So imma hood nigga?” i laughed “something like that” she nodded. “Come mer” she said as she sat back further in the chair. I stood up and walked over to her. Once i was in front of her she pulled me down onto her lap. “Why you wearing this to work?” i looked down at my outfit. I thought this was cute and appropriate for work. “What's wrong with what i got on?” she looked me up and down and then grabbed my thigh making me sigh lowly from her touch. “Its showing too much and it's too tight” i looked at her like she was crazy i was barely showing anything. I had on a black dress that stopped a little below my knee, it had a white folded collar on it with no sleeves. I had a black blazer on with white buttons and a pair of white six inch heels. “Hush up it's nothing wrong with this” she shook her head and just looked at me. “You coming over tonight” i thought about it i did have a little work to do but i could just do it tomorrow plus it's wednesday and i haven't had a break from work since the friday before last. “Yeah, but you have to come get me cause i took an uber and that shit will cost way too much from here to ya house” “why you aint drive?” i shrugged my shoulders, “i was too tired” she nodded and tapped my leg so i could get up. “Ard i'll be here at 6” i nodded. She pulled me into a hug and kissed my lips after a few moments we pulled back. “Don't ever do that shit again” she said as she looked at me with a mug. Even though she was supposed to look scary that shit was mad sexy to me. I nodded my head while biting my lip. She laughed and shook her head. “Freak ass” she gave me one more kiss before she walked out and left.
