Franziska sat with her head in her hands in the courtroom lobby. It was twenty minutes after she had been nearly crushed by a fresh attorney. She couldn't get her kiss out of her head. 'Von Karmas are perfect. Perfect is the definition of Von Karma, and Von Karma is the definition of perfect. Kissing your little brother sure as hell isn't what I'd call perfect.' She heard a little voice screaming in her head. But, she really didn't want to hear it.
"I heard." A voice said smugly. She looked up into the fierce blue eyes of her rival.
"H-heard what?" She stammered nervously. Had word gotten out about her kiss?
"You almost got your ass kicked by a newb!" He chuckled. "How did it feel? Because, that's how I feel every time I turn the case around with you. No hope, whatsoever." He plopped down next to her on the plush, maroon couch. "How do you feel?" He asked, seeing the rather blue tint to her skin. He placed his hand on her back, giving her a sickly familiar feeling. She leaned towards him to look him in the eye.
"I'm fine…" she murmured, but it faded out as she leaned closer to him. He reached his hand up and ran his hand through her hair as their lips met. She put her hand on his chest and subtly pushed him back. "I don't really… I don't really think that… I can do this." She said shaking her head.
"Then don't. I will for you." He smiled and kissed her on her cheek. "You'll come around." He said, more to himself than to her, as if he was trying to convince himself, instead of her. She tapped his nose lightly and grinned.
"Maybe I will. But for now…" She pulled out her whip. "Let's keep things normal. She started whipping him, but lighter than usual. "Fool!" She giggled and dipped her head. "I don't think I can fake this. I'm not really a faker." She leaned over him and put her hand under his chin. "It's ok, I'll come around." She pulled him closer and kissed him. She felt like she was on cloud nine, until she thought about Miles. She honestly didn't know what to do. She could pull away, and go back to Miles. She could pull away, and forget them both. She could not pull away, she could stay with Phoenix here forever. She yanked away and screamed out."What the hell am I supposed to DO?"
"Are you ok?" He asked nervously, but she had already fallen to the floor. The last thing she heard was his voice barking at the person on the other end of his call phone call, probably the 911 answering people. The last thing she felt was his arms wrapped around her, shaking her, trying to wake her up. She thought she heard sirens, but she could have been dreaming.
