BO'S POV – Day After - Battle & Associates P.C.
"…Bo? Bo, WAKE UP!" I'm startled out of my daydreaming haze of a certain doctor I plan to meet tonight by my annoying boss. If I didn't love my day job so much, I'd quit. "What Tamsin?!"
"Your client has been waiting for fifteen minutes to see you! I swear, I'd fire you for being so unprofessional towards me all the time if you weren't my best criminal prosecutor." I roll my eyes right at Tamsin.
"You know, I'm basically a contractual employee but with benefits and all because you were so desperate to hire me since my specialty is criminal prosecution with the highest win percentage in the tri-state area. So who are you kidding, you'd never fire me especially since my contract says I can set my own hours within reason, I always have at least three clients at a time to stay employed. Well, news flash! I always exceed the minimum caseload amount, I always work at least twenty four to thirty hours a week and I rarely take off. So, take your useless comments elsewhere."
"I can't believe I gave you such a lucrative deal. I'm such an idiot." I meet her glare with a smirk. "Finally, we agree on something."
"Shut up McCorrigan and get back to work." She flips me off as she makes her exit, making me laugh. I love irritating the shit out of my boss.
"Nancy, please send in my client." I tell my assistant over the intercom. I hope this day flies by; I can't wait to finally meet Lauren for the first time at the diner across from her hospital. She eats there almost every night according to her credit card statements.
"Hello Mrs. Wilson, my name is Ysabeau Elizabeth McCorrigan, how may I help you today?"
That Evening – Diner
She's the first thing I see when I walked into the diner that looks a bit like it's stuck in the 80's. My breath hitched immediately. Seriously, what's this woman doing to me? No one has ever affected me like she has. I've never stalked anyone like a school girl or gotten jealous or had my breath hitch, I'm never nervous about meeting someone and yet, she still doesn't even know I exist. Well that changes right now...
I took a seat on one of the diner stools at the counter, discreetly watching her eat her meal in the corner booth. I asked the waitress for a glass of water. I took a large gulp when she gave it to me before I worked up the courage to approach the woman whose been haunting every fiber of my being.
"Excuse me?" She looks up from her meal to meet my eyes. I immediately feel my heart pounding. "Yes?" She asks with a kind smile that reaches her eyes.
"I'm sorry to bother you but I was wondering if you'd like some company? I couldn't help but notice that we're both alone in here and I don't know about you but, I hate eating alone so, could I join you?"
She seems lost in my eyes before she clears her throat. I think that's a good sign, right? "Sure, I'd love some company, please have a seat. My name is Lauren Lewis."
I returned her dazzling smile with one of my own. "It's a pleasure to meet you Lauren. My name is Ysabeau McCorrigan. I prefer Bo but, you can call me whichever you like."
"Likewise Bo, well what are you going to eat?" I blush at the way she said my name, it rolled off her tongue with such warmth. "Well, your steak looks good. Mind if I copy you?"
She chuckles, "Of course not, go right ahead. So, what do you do?" I placed my order with the waitress before I answered her. "I'm a lawyer; my specialty is in criminal prosecution." I'm not lying, that is my day job.
"How about you, what do you do?" She grins with happiness and pride. "I'm a doctor at the hospital across the street." Lauren's smile automatically brings out a wide smile of my own. "Wow that must be very stressful and demanding. But I can tell you clearly love what you do."
"Well clearly, the same goes for you, Prosecutor." She gives me a sexy half-smile that made me blush. When my order came, we eat together surprisingly comfortably.
The rest of the evening went amazingly. We talked about our jobs and other topics. The more I learned about Lauren, the more I want to learn about her. So far, I think everything about her personality, likes, dislikes, physical features etc. is absolutely perfect. I've never in my life felt this way about anyone and to be honest, it's a bit scary. But, one of the best parts of all was, I technically didn't lie to her at all about anything the whole time.
"So…thanks for allowing me to accompany you for dinner." She shakes her head as if I shouldn't be thanking her. "I should be thanking you, Bo. My best friend Kenzi was supposed to meet me here this evening but, she canceled at the very last minute."
"Well, her loss was definitely my gain. I'm so glad she couldn't make it." She nods in agreement without hesitation. "Me too"
"Well, I guess this is it..." I say, trying to hide the disappointment in my voice. She nods "It was nice meeting you, Bo." I nod and say the same before we both start walking in the opposite directions.
"Wait, Bo!" I turned around with lightning speed to face her. "…Would you like to take a walk in the park with me? The park is just a few blocks away from here." I grin wildly, "Yes, of course"
We leisurely take a stroll in the park in this perfect evening weather. When, all of a sudden; a large group of ten, typical of wannabe gangsters surrounded us. "Give us everything you two have and we'll leave you two pretty ladies in peace. Well, maybe after we see what you two have to offer under your clothes…"
I glare at the apparent "leader" and step forward in front of Lauren to protect her. "I highly recommend you guys leave us alone before you regret it." I warn them, trying to keep my temper under control.
The whole gang bursts out into laughter. Then, the leader approaches me and tries to slap me. But instead, I twisted his wrist and broke it. He screamed out in agony, prompting his gang to attack us.
Damn it, some of them have blades. I try to keep them all away from Lauren. I was so focused on taking them down as quickly as possible that it wasn't till after I took down the sixth guy when I noticed Lauren was holding her own flawlessly with professional combat training.
"You're all under arrest for assault on an officer of law enforcement and an officer of the court!" She says as she's cuffing the jackass under her. I look at her completely stunned...
"You're a cop…?" I ask as police cars pull up to help assist. "Actually, I'm a Detective of the 5th precinct." She closes the distance between us before saying, "You have some nice moves for a prosecutor. Look, I'm sorry about the way the evening ended. But I didn't lie to you, I really am a doctor and I really had a great time with you. So, here's my card if you want to talk after tonight. But as for right now, I'm afraid you're going to have to come with me to the station to give a statement. Afterwards, I'll give you a ride back to your car or I can have someone else give you a ride if you're no longer comfortable with me."
I just nod since I'm still completely dumbfounded. I'm so confused, but this is probably why I could barely get any information on her. I do feel deceived even though I know I have no right to be since I have two occupations too; Prosecutor by day, Assassin by night. But still, she's a doctor and a detective? Is she an undercover detective? Is this why Evony wants her dead? Enovy knows a job like this, at least under most circumstances violates my rules…What the hell is going on?
