James, you need to head out to Carmine for the Fiona Reed case. She's ready to be moved to a safe place. Call me, okay. Bye.

Fiona Reed is a lawyer who's a pit bull in the court room, yet somehow scared of her own husband. I don’t know what he did to her, because there was no visible abuse, but the woman was shit scared of him.

“Sasha! I gotta go to The Safe House. Babe, I’m sorry. You’re not a bitch, you’re my beautiful, stunning, amazing, tough girl, okay?” I say, sucking up to her as much as I can.

“Just go, James,” she says tonelessly.

“Sasha, I don’t want to leave you when you’re upset,” I say in a gentler tone. She opens the door with a heavy sigh, like the world is on her shoulders.

“Come here, my pretty girl,” I croon, opening my arms to her. She jumps into my arms wrapping her arms around my neck.

“We’re okay, I love you. I’ve always loved you, and I’m never going to stop,” I tell her.

She nods and kisses me on my neck. “I’ll make it up to you tonight, okay. I’ll be back as soon as I can.”

“Good, you can go down on me for two hours,” she says. I laugh out loud at that.

“Is that supposed to be a punishment for me? Cos it sounds like a reward,” I say honestly. I capture her lips in a possessive kiss before I head out.

Sasha

I open the front door to James’ house in agitation. Dressed in only a bath robe, the incessant knocking wouldn’t stop, so I had to jump out of my bath to answer.

“Yes?” I ask in confusion when I see two girls standing there. I blink a few times as I take in their attire. Red leather mini skirt, and a glittery bra. Or at least that’s what it looks like. The second girl is wearing a white mini dress. It’s see through and I can plainly see her nipples. I rack my mind for the date, it’s not Halloween is it?

“Is James here?” Red leather asks.

“No,” I reply.

She pouts. “Oh. Well, how about Kade?”

“Yeah, no.” I tell her, not offering her anything else. White mini dress sighs, looking put out.

“What do you want with them?” I ask curiously.

“What don’t we want with them?” Red leather giggles.

“Right. You know Kade is happily married with children?” I ask, pulling my towel up further.

They both shrug, like it makes no difference. I blink once. And then slam the door in their face. I head back to the bathroom and jump back into the tub. Several minutes later, I hear One Directions ‘More Than This’ coming from my phone. I answer it with a grin.

“Hey, Layla!”

“Hey cuz. How do you feel finally moved in with James?” she asks.

“Pretty good, actually,” I answer.

“Good. Anyway Cole and Jye are back from Lucy’s so I’ll drop him off in about an hour,” she says.

“Perfect! Feel free to bring over some cupcakes,” I say in a hopeful tone.

“Yeah, yeah, I already packed some for you,” she says with a giggle.

“You’re the best. Cole still staying at mine tomorrow night?” I ask.

“Yes! Thank you for keeping him. Chase and I need a night alone,” she says.
