All is Fair - Chapter 2
AN: Thanks for giving this a shot! Enjoy!
She was late. It took her longer than expected to make it home, change and back again but she knew it would be worth it. Plus now it was her turn to play.
She strides into the courtroom and takes her seat at the table with her partner and client. She can't help but notice her late arrival has caused him to look at her as she takes her seat at the table opposite him. He completely lost his train of thought as she crossed her legs and turned toward him in her chair.
'You want a war councillor?' She thought. 'Well you've got one. And I'm going to win it.'
She shifted slightly in her seat causing the cream coloured skirt she was wearing to slide up a bit and she bobbed her foot slightly, bringing the pen she had in her hand to her mouth.
She knew that he was distracted. Likely thinking about the events that transpired while she wore this suit for the first time. She knew she still had an influence on him. Whether her was pissed at her or not, there was always chemistry between them and she was sure every single person in that courtroom could see it.
Will sits down and she can see his co-council whisper something to him, eliciting an eyeroll from the handsome attorney. He glared at her and she couldn't help but smile as she turned back to the notepad in front of her as Cary cross examined the witness. She could feel his eyes burning into her. Looking her up and down, caught in a trance until the voice of his co-council brought him out of it. She looked at him and smiled coyly as she stood up and reiterated the words he has uttered earlier about which council was questioning. She glanced at Cary who just shook his head at her, mildly amused smile plastered on his face.
Will stood, reiterating the objection that his co-council had voiced seconds ago, being sustained by the judge. She knew that this was going to be a long trial. Both of them were stubborn, needing to beat each other. Their competitive attitude was once that of friendly competition, now it was only adding fuel to the fire currently ripping its way through what was left of their relationship. She had won this battle. Now she just needed to win the war.
