I looked over at Bennett for confirmation and he nod, "Yea, we're all lawyers aren't we." I was really hoping for him to say no but he did the opposite and start walking towards Seth.
"How are you doing, Mr. Parker?" Bennett ask Seth. Seth looked over at me and smile, "Good now that I see this beauty right here."
I rolled my eyes and walk over to the table.
"You guys know each other?" Bennett asked as he takes the seat in front of Seth leaving me with the one beside him. I took a seat at the chair but try to avoid direct eye contact with him.
Seth looked at Bennett and smile, "Yes, Kari and I go walk back. Junior-High to be exact and High."
"Oh, wow. That's good."
I shake my head, "Bennett how did you meet Seth?" I asked wanting to change the topic from me.
"Oh, you know. In court recently. He was the prosecutor for one of my clients."
"I won the case." Seth said proudly which made me look at him.
I took a sip of my coffee then turn to Seth, "Well, Mr. Parker not because you won against Bennett means you'll win against me."
Bennett eyes widen, "You guys are on a case."
"Yes," we said simultaneously.
"He's the prosecutor for my case which makes him the enemy."
Bennett laughs and shakes his head. "You follow those things. Let me tell this, kids, I've been a lawyer for over 15 years and some of my best friends are district attorney. I don't mess with their work, they don't mess with mine. You don't have to be enemies because you're on different sides, you just have to know how to control yourselves."
Seth nods, agreeing with Bennett's statement. "I tell her this, she doesn't listen. Stubborn is what she is." He agrees with a smirk. Soon after I felt his hands on my thigh.
I flashed him the look, but he continues smiling at Bennett. "Mr. Graham, her best friend is with my best friend and cousin but all she does is fight me like plague."
I rolled my eyes. I didn't fight him like plague.
I didn't fight him at all.
My body gave into his demands as soon as he touches it.
I couldn't fight him.
"All I want to do is be friends with her, yet she makes it so difficult." I rolled my eyes at his words. I don't want game he was playing but it wasn't working with me.
If all he wanted was to be my friend, then he wouldn't have had sex with me.
I know and even the world know that Seth only wanted the same thing from me that I wanted from him and that was Sex.
Just Sex.
"Iris!" I shout. "Please stop. We're supposed to be having a girl's night." I rolled my eyes at her and cover my ears with the cushion, but I could still hear things.
She throws a popcorn at me, "You can't have a girl's night without talking about boys."
I laugh and shake my head, "Seth is the last thing we should be talking about right now."
"No!" she yelled and grab the cushion from me, "I wanna know what's going on with the both of you. Something happened again. I can feel it." Iris held the remote in her hands and pause the movie. We were twenty something minutes in the movie 'Forrest Gump'.
I shake my head denying her claim, "Nothing happened so can you please resume the movie." I said pointing at the Tv.
"Nope, we've watched Forrest Gump over a million times, it can wait." She lifted her bottom and place the remote under it then looked at me smiling. "Now, tell me. What happened with you and Seth at the night of the party?"
I looked at her smiling. "You set that up, didn't you. Leaving me there with him."
"Of course, I did. The guy is perfect for you," she concludes. "Seth is a nice guy and you deserve a nice guy."
I shrug, "I'm not looking for a relationship."
"Then what are you looking for?"
Oh, Iris. If it were that easy.
"Nothing. I'm not looking for anything." I wasn't ready for a serious relationship.
I wasn't ready to put my heart out.
"Seth is perfect for you," she repeated.
"Iris you're forgetting one thing." I pointed out, "He's the enemy. I can't be in any relationship with a district attorney, we will always end in court on the opposite team." It wasn't a risk I could take. I just became partners with one of the biggest law firms in New York and I wasn't going ruin it because of some guy. I worked too hard for this.
"You're back at that." Iris curled her lips.
"Yes, it will always be in the way and that's why I can't be with Seth."
"But you can have Sex with Seth?" she provoked which cause me to roll my eyes.
"I had sex with him twice,"
Iris raised her eyebrows, "So, it's not one time anymore." I mentally slap myself. I didn't mean to tell her about the last time. It wasn't supposed to happen.
"Iris! Can you start back the movie please?" I didn't want to talk about my sexual relationship with Seth.
"Kari!" she mocked. "You guys had sex that night didn't you."
I sigh, she wasn't going to give up. "Yes, we did. Are you happy?"
Iris laughs, "Happy that you're getting laid but not happy that you don't want a relationship with the guy." I knew it was in her best interest to see me in a happy relationship like hers, so I cut her the slacks.
"Iris let's not talk about that. Please."
Iris sighs, "Okay. I'll stop." She reached for the remote under her butt then pressed play but stopped it back. She turns to look at me, "He's a nice guy. Don't break his heart."
