It was mid day at the Law Offices of Wright and Co. Phoenix was sitting at his desk, writing some things on a case file. Maya came in the room, with a yawn, and looked over at Phoenix. Maya thought to herself; 'Now's the perfect time!'

Maya had read and heard about how to 'arouse' a man recently on some internets thing Phoenix kept raving about, and she had taken some notes on how to arouse a typical man.

-Show Cleavage

She didn't really want to resort to this one if possible. She loosened her robes. A little couldn't hurt that much.

-Sprawl out naked somewhere they'll find you

Maya glanced over this one and continued

-Call him things like 'Studly' or "Major Sexy', or 'Corporal Cocks'

Maya thought to herself. 'Hmmm so brush his ego, that's doable.

-If all else fails, force him into a kiss, if he pulls back, he's gay.

Maya was puzzled by the list to say the least, they seemed to be so extremist, but Nick had said that facts could be found on the internet, right? That must make this list true too! She smiled with her newfound ability of the internet, and walked over to Phoenix, her robe very loosely covering her body.

"Hey Nick..." She purred in what she assumed has a seducing tone. She leaned over his desk and glanced at the case file, attempting to put her chest at an anglepoint that would make it convienient to have Phoenix see down her robes. "Whatcha lookin at?"

Phoenix glanced up for only a second, and met Maya eye to eye. "An Important case file that I just got yesterday to defend Zak Gramarye. Something about Murder, it's real important. Why don't you go play outside somewhere?" Phoenix had been lookinig at the paper filling in checkmarks, and writing in his information the entire time. Maya puffed her cheeks out, and stood up, tying her robe as tight as she could. "Well FINE Nick, maybe I'll just go back to Kurain village too!" She turned on her heel.

Phoenix nonchalantly said "You're thinking too much into this Maya." Without glancing up, and that was the final straw for Maya. She stormed out of his office, and into her room and slamed the door. As soon as she was in her room, she fell to the floor, and began to break into tears. After sobbing inwardly for a while, she stood up, and rubbed her red eyes. "C'mon Maya..." She said, between sniffling. "Pull yourself together it''s just..." She rubbed her eyes again. "The case, it's...really important..." She mentally nodded. 'Yeah, the case, he's interested... right?' Another voice insider her head told her: 'No he's not interested... and who could blame him? Look at yourself!'

Maya walked over to the mirror, and examined her ninteen year old figure. She had gained a miniscule amount of weight, and her hair was a mess from her sobbing. Her bust had begun to really take off. She thought to herself again. 'Okay so first things first, my hair is a mess.' She grabbed a brush and hairtie from her desk, and went to work. After her hair was in her typical ponytail, she smiled. "See Maya?" She said to herself. "All better..." She wasn't convinced. Before she could think further, there was a knock at her door.

It was Phoenix.

"Hey Maya, sorry about earlier, I was just really worried about the case it seems like a tough one..." He chuckled to lighten the mood.

Maya almost called out to Phoenix but stopped. 'Okay Maya, you have two choices. You can 1-Go back to Nick and take him in your arms, until the next time a case comes along or 2-' she smirked. 'Take a stand of independence.' She glanced at her window. The office was 3 sotries up, but so what? Maya finally decided that she hadn;t taken enough risks in her life, and dove out the window.
