Lies of Lush (Matthew Lush F.F.)

Chapter 13

*** Chapter Thirteen ***

  Nick Laws had to be at Matthew's house twelve hours minimum a day. At nights he would leave his mother's and crawl onto the living room couch in Matthew's house. Matthew always laughed at the younger man. Some nights he would pick him up and mess with him, Thursday night before the next court hearing he got in Nick's pants. Nick was tired of the abuse, but it was bearable.

   "Natalie." Nick greeted her at the office. "Nicholas." She made a short wave. Nick told her about Matthew having her underwear, and both of them were worried that Matthew would tell the new judge about Natalie's bribery.

  Matthew walked into the court room feeling pleased with himself. His lawyer followed suit, she was dressed in a tight black maxi dress with a red tie dangling from the front. Natalie gaped at the woman. "Is she a...?" Nick began. "She's my lawyer." Matthew smirked at the shocked pair. The judge sat down across from everyone.

   The judge happened to be a very attractive blonde woman. She cleared her throat and began reading the documents both clients gave her. "Here, it says that Matthew is filing for full custody of Nick Laws? Nick is a full grown adult." She stated, looking up from the papers Matthew had made.

  "He has schizophrenia!" Matthew yelled. "If anyone has schizophrenia here it would be you Matthew Lush, but I am abided by the law not to make accusations. I can however get a psychiatrist to give Nick a psych test right now." The judge said.

   "His lawyer had sex with the last judge!" Matthew blurted. "I have her underwear!"

   "That's relevant how? And why on earth would you ever steal someone's underwear?" The judge was shaking her head. "Now Nicholas here wants a restraining order on Matthew, something here isn't lining up. And I don't mean to state the obvious, but you've been smirking since you got in here." She told Matthew.

   The psychiatrist the judge called in handed Nick a paper test. Matthew was glaring. His options were running out. "This is ridiculous, Nick has taken two of these already!" Matthew screamed. "Matthew Lush forged his signature!" Natalie yelled back, anger appearing again. "I have your underwear in my pocket!" Matthew replied just as angry.

   The psychiatrist looked up. "I believe Nick deserves some silence. These are some unique circumstances to be taking a psych test under, but it would be best if everyone silently relaxed."

  

    Nick sighed, the test was coming to an end and things seemed to be in his favor. "I'm done." Nick said. The psychiatrist looked at his answer and made marks on the paper. "No where near schizophrenic." He said before leaving. "Wait, Matthew forged your signature on psych tests?" The jude suddenly snapped to her senses.

   "Gotchya, you bitch!" Nick smiled happily. "Nicholas!" Natalie shushed him. The judge glared at Matthew. "I'm signing on the restraining order and going to get a specialist to look into the signaure thing, everyone is dismissed." The judge announced.

   "But I haven't slept with you yet." Matthew's "lawyer" said. "She's a girl! You are the worst hooker ever!" Matthew yelled exasperated. The judge just now realized what Matthew's "lawyer" was wearing. "Atleast she tried being formal with the tie thing." She muttered.

   Nick and Natalie walked out of the judge's room together. "You're free!" She hugged Nick, taking him by surprise. "Oh my god, I am!" He smiled at the sudden realization. "Thank you, for everything Natalie."

   The judge followed everyone out. She saw Nick hugging Natalie and smiled. "Hey you two." She said. "Hi." Nick felt so weird around her. He wanted to hug her. But something stopped him. "I could tell Matthew was up to no good. And you have brusies and burns on your neck and it looks like you tried to cover them with concealer on your face." She blushed. "You're young for a judge." Nick commented. "I use to be a detective, I can pull quite a few strings within the justice department."

   "I'm gonna go now, bye guys." Natalie smirked before leaving Nick. "What's your name?"

   "Liz Oswald." The judge said. "Would you mind going on a date with me, is this too soon? You're just so interesting! Omg I'm so embarassing." Liz laughed. Nick smiled. "It's not too soon, but I have some things to sort through tonight, I need some alone time, do you have a cell phone?"

   Liz nodded excitedly. Nick put himself as a contact in her phone. "Call or text me later okay?" Liz nodded with excitement. Nick went to his car and drove to his mother's that night.
