Courtroom Vs Bedroom✔

Chapter 16

  "Iris!" I shout. "Please stop. We're supposed to be having a girl's night." I rolled my eyes at her and cover my ears with the cushion, but I could still hear things.

  She throws a popcorn at me, "You can't have a girl's night without talking about boys."

  I laugh and shake my head, "Seth is the last thing we should be talking about right now."

   "No!" she yelled and grab the cushion from me, "I wanna know what's going on with the both of you. Something happened again. I can feel it." Iris held the remote in her hands and pause the movie. We were twenty something minutes in the movie 'Forrest Gump'.

  I shake my head denying her claim, "Nothing happened so can you please resume the movie." I said pointing at the Tv.

  "Nope, we've watched Forrest Gump over a million times, it can wait." She lifted her bottom and place the remote under it then looked at me smiling. "Now, tell me. What happened with you and Seth at the night of the party?"

  I looked at her smiling. "You set that up, didn't you. Leaving me there with him."

  "Of course, I did. The guy is perfect for you," she concludes. "Seth is a nice guy and you deserve a nice guy."

  I shrug, "I'm not looking for a relationship."

  "Then what are you looking for?"

Oh, Iris. If it were that easy.

   "Nothing. I'm not looking for anything." I wasn't ready for a serious relationship.

  I wasn't ready to put my heart out.

  "Seth is perfect for you," she repeated.

  "Iris you're forgetting one thing." I pointed out, "He's the enemy. I can't be in any relationship with a district attorney, we will always end in court on the opposite team." It wasn't a risk I could take. I just became partners with one of the biggest law firms in New York and I wasn't going ruin it because of some guy. I worked too hard for this.

  "You're back at that." Iris curled her lips.

 "Yes, it will always be in the way and that's why I can't be with Seth."

  "But you can have Sex with Seth?" she provoked which cause me to roll my eyes.

  "I had sex with him twice,"

   Iris raised her eyebrows, "So, it's not one time anymore." I mentally slap myself. I didn't mean to tell her about the last time. It wasn't supposed to happen.

   "Iris! Can you start back the movie please?" I didn't want to talk about my sexual relationship with Seth.

  "Kari!" she mocked. "You guys had sex that night didn't you."

  I sigh, she wasn't going to give up. "Yes, we did. Are you happy?"

   Iris laughs, "Happy that you're getting laid but not happy that you don't want a relationship with the guy." I knew it was in her best interest to see me in a happy relationship like hers, so I cut her the slacks.

"Iris let's not talk about that. Please."

  Iris sighs, "Okay. I'll stop." She reached for the remote under her butt then pressed play but stopped it back. She turns to look at me, "He's a nice guy. Don't break his heart."

  Like I could try.

   Seth was a nice guy, I admit but he had his head on his body. I wasn't the type of person who can break a heart. I was the type of person afraid to get my heart broken.
