" Ok, class, finish up your research on the trials, and we'll discuss them next time," the professor announced. Taylor stood up and waited until the rest of her class left the room. She walked down to her professor and tried to get his attention.

" Excuse me, Professor?"

He turned around at the voice. " Ah, yes, Miss McKessie, how are you?"

" I'm fine, thank you. You've been a divorce lawyer before, right?"

" Yes, ma'am, one of the most grueling times in my life," he confessed.

Taylor's heart beat raced. " Why is that, sir?"

" The couple hated each other. The only thing they wanted to do was to see each other suffer and crumble to the ground."

" Why would that affect you?"

" My client wanted me to make up malicious lies, say terrible things about her former spouse over something such as money. It was horrible to see to ex-lovers biting nail and foot for a bundle of cash. I want to warn you, Miss McKessie, being a divorce lawyer, is not something for the weak. These lawyers, especially these clients will do anything to get what they want. Whether it's true or not, you can't let it get to you."

" How did your settlements go?"

" Some of them were already set in stone, just spouses trying to get some money claiming they didn't know they were signing a pre-nup. But some were legitamate divorce settlements, were they broke the signed agreement such as alleged affairs, things like that. Why do you ask? I thought you were pursuing a career in the criminal justice field?"

" Well, something came up that changed my mind," she admitted.

" In that case, I wish you the best of luck there."

" Thanks. Oh, Professor?"

" Yes?"

" My bar exam is in two weeks..."

" You better study hard. Two weeks can just fly by," he stated.

" Yes, I know. How long do you think it would take for me to be signed to a firm?"

" A lawyer with your caliber should be snatched up in weeks. I wouldn't worry much if I were you. But if you want to guarantee yourself a spot, start sending in your resumes now, get a headstart on your competition."

" Thank you,sir."

" My pleasure."

Taylor walked out of the room and headed outside. She knew she had to walk home, since Chad gave her a ride. She zipped up her jacket and headed home. A familar red car pulled up beside her.

" Hey there," Chad said.

Taylor titled her head. " Are you stalking me now?"

" Stalking is such a bad word. I prefer myself to be a guide."

" Don't you have basketball practice or something?"

" Nope, my team gave me the day off to get aquainted with Arizona."

Taylor rolled her eyes. " What do you want now?"

" I was going to offer you a ride, but if you're gonna be so hostile..."

" No, I want a ride."

She reached for the car door. Chad cleverly locked the door.

" Chad," Taylor whined.

" Taylor," he mimicked.

" Oh, come on. Are you serious?"

He smiled. " Say the magic word and I'll unlock the door."

" What? Just unlock the door."

" Just unlock the door what?"

" Just unlock the door before I wipe that stupid grin off your face."

" I'm sorry, we were searching for 'please' play again next time."

He drove off a few feet leaving Taylor behind, before he stopped. He stuck his head out the window.

" Did you want a ride?" he asked.

She sighed as she walked to his car and got in. He began to drive to her apartment.

Chad repositioned his grip on the steering wheel as he began making conversation. " You remember Troy's parents, right?"

" Yeah, of course. Why, what happened?"

" Well, their anniversary is next week."

" That's great. How many years?"

" Thirty. Troy's brother Stan called the old team to invite them back home for an anniversary party."

" Oh, so are you going to go?" she asked.

" That depends. Are you free next week?"

" Me? This has nothing to do with me."

" I'm asking you, come back to New Mexico with me. We'll see everyone, bring back old memories, it'll be fun."

" Chad, you already coaxed me into being your lawyer, I'm not falling for this one."

" There's nothing to fall for. Just think of it as a class reunion. Come on."

She explained, " Chad, I should really stay here, focus on my school work, passing the bar exam so we can get started on this case."

" Fine then," he sighed. They continued to drive in silence.

" Although, I do have a free day next Friday," she added not lookig at him.

" So, I'll pick you up Thursday?"

" Maybe." The car stopped and she stepped out.

" You're impossible, Tay."

" Impossible is not in my vocabulary," she smirked. Chad also got out and walked her to the door. " Thank you for the ride, Chad. I'll get my car checked out, so you won't have to be my chauffeur anymore."

" No problem. It was my pleasure. And you have my number, right?"

" Right. Ok, I'll see you later."

" Bye." Taylor stuck out her hand for him to take. He engulfed her in a hug instead. She almost lost her balance as she hugged back. He finally left and headed ack to his hotel. Taylor stepped inside the apartment complex.

I've noticed some people don't like the order of this story. (One couple to the next) So, once I finish one more chapter for the remaining couples (Zekepay and Jelsi) I can reorganize it into sections (three chapters for each couple) or keep it as is. Leave a review for which one you want to see, please. Also read my other stories and review.
