The Case (BWWM)

40.

Kylie ~

'Are you alright Miss?' I sat down with Issabella and her social worker, Karlene

'Yes I'm fine, thank you for asking' I said politely, forcing a smile on my face 'so as you may not know, I'm taking over Carter's position and being your attorney for this case' I explained as Karlene nodded

'I like you better' Issabella spoke out

I kind of figured she say that.

'I feel comfortable around you more than I'm around him' she added on 'I get this feeling he's going to attack me or something' she expressed

'But he's not like that- he's the complete opposite of an attacker' I told her

'I know that, but when I'm around men- grown men, I'm just their prey to them and they are the predator' she said

'As scary as it is, Issabella when you grow up, when you go into the workplace, you'll see a lot of men around you and you will eventually have to conquer your fear of having the idea that all men are coming to attack you' I said to her

'I rather lock myself in a room forever from people' she muttered

'Okay right' I didn't know how to respond to her as I got the stack of papers and played with them 'moving on, I know some information about your case already and still learning each day, but I want to get to know more about you, if that's okay with your social worker' I looked at Karlene for clarification

'That's okay, just don't go overboard with the questions' Karlene told me

'Yeah, The man that was asking me questions was trying to force me to answer questions that I didn't want to answer' Issabella added

'Let's not over exaggerate this one Issabella, he was not badgering that much' Karlene rolled her eyes playfully

'Well to me he was' she concluded her statements

But the first time I met her, she was never this chatty.........

•••

Taking a sip of the coffee I bought to last me through the whole day, my head instantly raised from looking at my phone as I saw Carmen making herself comfortable in front of me, taking a seat.

'Sorry I don't recall whenever we had the chat that we were best friends' I said to her shortly in confusion as I looked closely at her actions

'I know I know but I saw you and you looked upset and I wanted to know if you were okay?' She looked as if she was genuinely concerned

'I was looking into my phone the whole time, you wouldn't be able to see my facial expression' I spoke awkwardly 'what do you want?' I asked frustratingly

'I don't want to cause any trouble or anything' she said

'Really because the last time we met in this cafe, you seemed like you were trying to cause a lot of trouble, I saw you all over Carter- what the fuck were you doing In James' law firm?' I asked

'Your receptionist allows anyone to come in clearly- you need to get a new one' she added

'That's not the fucking point!' My voice rose

'Look anything I said or you saw I'm sorry, I'm really not trying to cause any drama' she said again

'So what do you want then?'

'I really just saw you and you looked upset so I came over to see if you're okay' I could tell she really meant it

'I'm fine' I answered her before hesitating

I went back to scrolling on my phone for anything for me to read. Being discrete, I glared at her and her eyes were still on me , causing me to shift as I began to get uncomfortable by her stares.

'Um do you need anything?' I asked her awkwardly

'You look really familiar' she started analysing me

I know where this is going to go.........

'Have we ever-'

'Have we ever what!' I stopped her from going further

She damn well knows I ain't done shit with her, I don't roll like that!

'No- no it's nothing' her natural tanned olive skin started to go red 'I'm bisexual by the way-' she randomly said 'there's this girl I was involved with and she looked just like you. Her hair, eyes, skin tone, body- only difference was the height' she explained as I nodded

'Was she the girl you cheated on to get away from Carter?' I asked her 'I remember you saying something like that- that I reminded her of the girl'

'Well I kind of lied about getting away from Carter, I just wanted to experience a little bit more sexual as he wasn't willing to do that' she gave a side eye

'Well maybe that just wasn't him, he's not into that threesome shit' I shrugged my shoulders

'Well I know that, it got boring for me!' She expressed

Nothing boring about Carter's sexual activity with me!

Sorry for this filler chapter.
