Janet
After going through all of Alexandria's files, I walked out into the main room where the rest of my team was. "So, let's hear something." I said as I took a seat.
Gil went first, as usual. "I think we should drop her."
I rolled my eyes and looked at the others. Shawn went next. "I'm looking for security cameras and street cameras. So far, she was there and never left. I'm not seeing an exit."
My face scrunched up. "What do you mean? You're telling me she did it?" I asked.
"I'm telling you either she did it, or she was there when it happened.."
I wanted to hear from Tina and Nicky as well, but I had questions for Alexandria. Serious questions.
"Meet again when I come back."
I sped over to Alexandria's house and banged on the door. I heard her cuss on the other side before opening it up. "Oh, it's you." She grinned.
I pushed through and went straight to the kitchen. She followed behind me and questioned my rumbling through her house. I grabbed two glasses and the bottle of wine in her fridge.
"Sit." I demanded.
She did as told and I sat the glasses in front of her and one in front of me and poured the drink. "Mind telling me what's going on?" She asked.
"What's going on is we have ten days before your ass is on trial for a triple homicide and I know nothing about what happened that night from your perspective. What's going on is you are fucking me over and fucking this case over. What the fuck is going is your ass is going to jail."
I took a long sip from my cup and tried my hardest to relax. "You need to tell me everything, Alexandria. Every little detail from the second you stepped foot into that house until you left." I stated.
She was smirking and swirling her glass. "You know... you're cute when you're pissed." She said.
I was taken aback by her boldness.
"That is so beyond the point."
She sat the glass down and leaned forward. "How about, we have a normal conversation tonight, and tomorrow you come over and I'll tell you everything you want and need to know. Promettere." [Promise.]
I snatched the collar of her shirt and stared into her soul. "Fuck with me and I will make you regret it until the day you die." I clearly stated before letting go.
She chuckled. "Whatever you say, Mita."
I sat down and relaxed myself. "So, how was your day? Besides coming in here like a sexy demon ready to snatch my heart out of my chest, of course."
"Alex—"
Her eyebrow rose, "Alex, huh? That's what I've been waiting for, J. That comfortability." She stated.
"You cut me off, dumbass. Alexandria, I suggest you watch yourself with me. The thin ice you are on is melting more and more by the minute."
Alex
She is sexy.
I've realized that from the jump, however this fire that I've lit under her ass today is skyrocketing.
"Apologies. Are you dating someone?" I bluntly asked. I have no filter or beat-around-the-bush mentality when it comes to getting what I want. And I want her now.
Her eyes were squinged and I could tell I was pushing her patience today. "I'm not, but that is also not of your concern, client." She emphasized my title.
I stood up and moved closer to her. "Okay, so tell me this. In two weeks when you save my ass from jail and you are no longer of service to me, let me take you out. BBQs in New York City. You and me, two day trip." I offered.
"I barely know you." She said.
"Oh come on, you and I know both that's not true. You have looked far into me which is why every time I tell you something, you have this pretend shock face."
By her face, she knew I was right.
"New York?"
"You don't know me." She rebutted.
Either she is slower than I thought, or her playing dumb act is Grammy worthy. "Janet Damita Jo Jackson, 30. Your brother is Michael Jackson, the infamous lawyer who got Norbert Pilitzi, Jason Krumber, Lion Defalo, and Gorge Amzi off the death row cases. Genius, may I add. You strike me as a white woman in a black woman's body, however there is some spice in you. Lucky guess is you were raised in New York, possibility, and then you came to California. You are very, very gay but won't share. It's pretty obvious though. You would probably pass out if you ever saw a penis. Understandable. You are soft on the inside, a sweetheart for a love story. Is there something I'm missing here?"
"I was raised in Indiana, not New York. Besides that, congratulations." She sarcastically said. "Still, my answer to New York is no."
I backed off, and instead, went for something less serious. "Fine, can I take you out to dinner tonight? Not a date. Just two people out for food." I asked.
She stood up, inches from me. "Sure. Sushi."
"Whatever you want."
She headed for the door as I grabbed my keys. She is definitely going to be my girlfriend eventually. I'm not letting this one slip.
