Can I have another dance?

Chapter 9 : "May the best of us win"

The court day...

Kasity :

"Okay Mr. Perez, we've got everything ready, you're not allowed to speak about anything. You are only allowed to reply if the judge addresses you a question. You'll reply according to my instructions and in case you are not ready to reply properly you can just whisper to me and we shall exchange some words so as your answer can be proper. Understood?" I announced, staring at Sebastian, knowing that he was dangerous. But I had no option. I couldn't send him to another lawyer one day before the court date, because he could threaten me or even worse, kill me. He's mafia.

"Of course Ms. Damassiel, I understand. Oh, and as for our friend
Mr. Kingstone... Be careful Ms. Damassiel. Be careful. I have eyes, ears. My men have eyes, ears. If a possible deal appears between you two... You're gone." He replies, slowly and comfortably, as he was enjoying all this.

I gave him a scared but angry look filled with confidence. I'm pretty sure he didn't notice my confidence. He shall notice it in the future though.

When we were finished we headed for the court.

Areson :

Me and Nathaniel arrived at the court a bit earlier. Nathaniel told me he had all the details and instructed me on my actions. We agreed to use some of our collected information against Sebastian. We know he's dangerous, that's why we will only share information regarding Sebastian's illegal actions verified by the government the past few years.

And then, I heard some heels approaching until they stopped behind me.

"Are you allowed to wear such high heels in the court miss?" I say not turning around to see her.
Then, she walked past me and stood in front of me, her heels still echoing in the empty court.

"Well, there's no law to forbid my high heels, Kingstone. There are only ethical rules... Not really interested in them." She says slowly in a unique way of hers, filled with arrogance of course. She put on a smile.

"Nice suit, by the way" she said putting her hands on my shoulders.

"Such an expensive man" she continues pulling me closer.

I didn't know how to react. She's playing with me like there's no tomorrow. She's evil, that's what she is. She does things just for fun, entertainment.

'I could participate in her game too, why not?' I thought, smiling.

I slowly put my hands around her waist...

"But where's your special lawyer clothing, Damassiel?" I asked her, lifting an eyebrow.

She smiled, approaching me more.
She didn't answer. Instead, her face approached mine slowly and she stared deep in my eyes. For a moment, I think I saw her true self in her shining hazel eyes.
So weird. It's just so weird how this woman's been messing around with me lately.

And it's so weird how I've been playing her wicked games.

"May the best of us win" she finally says, moving her hands from my shoulders up my neck to my face until I let go of her waist and we went to our seats.
