Chapter 6

" You just had to make a bloody mess " Malik who struggles to wash off the blood stains from the floor, grumbles with a frown while I stared out the window watching my dear Larisa. She was still in bed I guess she still feels low from the loss of her mother. If only I can do something about the situation " Vicnan " Malik snaps

  " What is it " I turn to face him reluctantly " what ?"

  " You really had to cut out his dick ?" With irritation in his tone while he stares at the unconscious body on the ground p

  " He fucked your mate and refused to pay in full. So I took something away from him " I explained

  " It would have killed him," he said "I thought you didn't want to receive lectures from the supreme lord ?"

  " That is why I was careful enough not to kill him. Besides, I did it for you "

  " Damn it " throwing his hands in the air. He reached for his phone on the table while I looked away not interested in what he wanted to do next. Just then a strong wind hit me. Fuck, I hate when it does

Cleopatra

I walked out of my bedroom, to be greeted by an empty house. Vivian has probably left early for court. She has been on a murder case for the past two weeks and the case appears to be vexing her. while I seat around all day doing nothing, what a friend I am. I made my way to the kitchen and on the fridge had a note from Vivian ' sorry, had to leave early. There is porridge in the fridge in case you get hungry '.

   Alright, guilty. I am guilty of everything. Guilty for not acknowledging my best friend's effort, guilty for making her worry and guilty for being a terrible friend. I smiled at her note and place it on the kitchen island. Opened the fridge and brought out the takeaway which had the porridge. She got it from my favourite restaurant, how sweet of her.

  I put the porridge in the microwave and made my way to the bathroom to take a shower. remembering that once upon a time on the day Vivian graduated law school, I promised her that I will always be present for her court case, to cheer her on. So I have to keep that promise.

   After a long hot shower, I eat, got dressed and left the house.

  I was already 30 minutes late when I arrived at the court. Vivian was so busy that she didn't even notice my presence so I sat silently with everyone else and watched. Damn, she looked so cool. watching Vivian argue in court always made me question my career. But I don't think I would be able to survive as an attorney. I may end up fighting in court due to my impatient.  ' Objection my lord ' Vivian said out loud and I could not stop myself from smiling at the badass before me

   I stood outside the court watching people walk by as I waited for Vivian to come out. The case was to be continued in one week, my poor Vivian won't get a good rest. With almost an hour gone by I sported her at the exit along with two of her colleagues. Immediately " Vivian!!" I called out loud but she was too focused on her work to hear me. Making my way towards her " Vivian " I called again, much louder this time. She turns to see me and I noticed the excitement on her face

  " Cleo? " she turns to her colleagues and said a few words to them, and with that, they parted.

  " hey " smiled as I stood in front of her

  " I am so happy to see you here. You finally came out " pulling me in for a hug " I was so worried about my love " holding me tight

  " oh....you..are cushing me " finding it difficult to read

  " oh....sorry " slowly letting go " how are you feeling " her eyes explored me from head to toe " I live with you but it feels like I don't. You finally came out "

  " Yeah " I bit my lower lips, feeling a bit guilty " sorry I made you worry "

  "There is nothing to be sorry about. I am so glad to see you finally came out. And you look fresh " she scanned me once again, and she pulls me for another warm long hug. Robbing my back gently 

  " thank you, Vivian," said to her ear. We broke the hug after a while and I instantly changed the topic " enough about me. You looked so cool in there "

  " Really ?" blushed at me complement

  " really. I've watched you a thousand times now and I never get bored. You make me question my life choices"

  " I think being a doctor a way cooler. Watching you guys in your white coat in a hurry to save a patient's life. " she says " you know anytime t come visit at the hospital I get jealous "

  " then how about we switch " I wiggled my eyebrow at her.

  " don't be ridiculous " she began walking down the stairs and I followed behind her

  " I am serious "

  " you are jobless remember?" She marked " how can I switch with you when you do not even have a job "

  " that is hash. If I get a job then will you switch with me " she ignores me " oh come on. I also want to be like... Objection my lord.  " I said out loud while throwing my fist in the air like a child. Immediately Vivian covered her face in embarrassment and began running away while I followed behind " hey where are you going " I laughed, knowing what I did was a bit embarrassing.

  We stopped to eat at a restaurant, close to our apartment building. There I listen to Vivian complain about the case. It turns out her client has been accused of murder by people who had power. And we all know how difficult the case is going to be. Fighting people with power is a losing battle but Vivian happens to not be the that gives up. She hates to lose, the true daughter of her father.

  She then went on and told me about her late fight with Weston. Complaining about how he didn't show up for their date

  " but you can't blame him on that, he had an emergency surgery," I said, putting myself in Weston's shoes

  " well he should have texted or something " she nagged

  " with an emergency surgery at hand one loss focus "

  "Which side are you on, young woman " she yells, calling people's attention to us. I look around and smiled awkwardly

  " I am not... "

  " do you know how long it took me to get ready for that date? I waited 5 hours only to get a call later on that he won't make it " she frowns " even my friend is backing him up " I blinked in confusion

  " oh... Fuck Weston. Why the hell will he keep you hanging like that " I scolded, immediately taking her side  " what does he take you for, a joke? What a man he is. What kind of man won't text his girlfriend if he won't make it " 

  " thank you," she says

  " I should pay some guy to beat the hell out of him " with a frown on my face

  " wh....why...why would you do that? " instantly her anger changed to worries

  " I'll teach him not to mess with you " I spoke seriously

  "Oh. No. You don't have to go that far " she smiles brightly and I shake my head in disagreement

  "I need to teach him a lesson "

  "Oh. Ammmmm. There is no need for that " she reached for my hand " I am sure he learnt his lesson. So no need for beating "

  "Are you sure?"  I bit my lower lips

  " yes. Yes, I am " I nodded in understanding and disbelieving. After all her nagging. She still protects him in the end. How cute
