Seth gets up from his chair and walked over to Mrs. Walter. "Mrs. Walter, do your store sell garden tools?"
I sighed, I knew where he was going, and I wasn't going to allow it. "Objection."
"Overruled, please continue Mr. Parker."
Seth nodded at the judge then continued, "Do you company sell garden products, Mrs. Walter?"
"Yes, we do. We cater for all household products."
He nods, "So you're telling me there could be a chance where a customer buys different household tools from gardening tools."
She nods her head, her grey hair shaking, "Well, yes."
"No further questions." He turns to the jury. "The murder weapon was found in Mr. Benjamin's garden. I could be that he placed it back in the garden where it belonged."
I rolled my eyes. I couldn't let Seth get the upper hand over this case. I wasn't to let him.
"Objection, Your Honor."
A big smile came to to my lips when Judge Brown said "Sustained."
I flashed at a smile a smile at Seth, but his face was emotionless, and he walked back to his side of the courtroom.
..................
Seth smirked at me, "Have I ever told you how sexy you look in a suit?"
"Good evening to you too..." I respond with a straight face, but I was really trying to stop myself from laughing out.
"Aren't you going to let me in?"
I shrug, "That depends on what you're going to do when you get in."
"I would tell you, but I wouldn't want to ruin the surprise." I didn't really understand how Seth could maintain the smirk for so long.
I pushed the door opened with and smile, "In that case, I should definitely let you in."
He walked passed me in my apartment and made his way over to my couch.
"How's Briny?" I asked remembering the little puppy I gave him Sunday.
His face lit up, "Oh she's perfect. Getting bigger and bigger every day. He looked around the apartment in search for the other puppies and frown, "What happened to the others?"
"Well, I gave my uncle one, my brother one, my parents took two and I have the other two." Monday night I had dinner with Uncle Gideon and Macy and since they had asked for once since Rojo was pregnant I just brought him along with me. Wednesday, I had a family dinner, everyone was there including Kyle's new girlfriend, who he was very much serious about and she wasn't a nurse like my mother said. She was an architect. Everyone was in a good mood and I was so happy when my relationship status didn't become a topic, instead, everyone was focused on the new couple. It had been the first girl my brother brought home so that meant he was in love.
Way to go Kieron!
"That's sweet. I'm going to miss them."
I raised my brows at him and laugh. "I'm going to miss them. You barely know them."
I shook his head, "That's not true. I know them very well."
"Tell me one thing that you know about them." I lifted my hands showing one finger.
He placed his hands under his chin, "Hmm...Let's see. I know that they bark."
I playfully slap him, "Every dog bark."
"No shit Sherlock." I rolled my eyes at him.
"Anyways what are we going to do tonight?"
A big grin showed on his face. He stood from the couch and was standing in front of me. He placed his hands on my shoulder. "How do you feel Indian Cuisine?"
I shrug, "To be honest not a lot I've only had it once."
"Do you like spicy food?"
I nod, "Depends on the level of spicy."
He grinned, "Perfect. We're having Indian Tonight." He grabbed my hand and pulled me towards the door.
"Wait, I need to change."
He looked now and my clothes and frown. I came from the office about an hour ago and I totally forgot to take off my suit.
"You look perfect. Just take off the jacket and you'll be fine."
I shook my head, "I'll look like a secretary."
"There is nothing wrong with looking like a secretary."
I pouted, "I know but you look nice it's fair if I look nice as well."
"Okay, fine. Don't stay long." He said releasing my hands.
With a smile on my face, I ran to my bedroom. I quickly discard my suit and grab a blue dress that didn't need pressing from my closet. I hastily put it and made my way back to the living room.
Seth was on his knees playing with Rojo and the remaining puppies.
I smiled at how sweet he looked playing with my dogs.
"As much I'd love to watch you play with my animals, I rather eat cause I'm starving."
He turned to me with his usual bright smile. He slowly stands up from his position not taking his eyes off me.
"You look nice."
I blush, "Thanks."
He smirked, "Oh, are you blushing?" he said as he slowly walks over to me.
I stopped blushing immediately and tried to hold a straight face. "I'm not blushing."
He shook his head and my lie.
"You're beautiful." He pinched my cheek as a grandpa would.
"You're not so bad yourself."
He grinned, "Thanks." He brushed his lips on mine for a second then pulled back, "Let's get some Indian food."
Iris looked between Seth and I and grinned, "So are you two a thing now?"
Simultaneously Seth and I turn to look at each other. We hadn't really added a title to our relationship. We hadn't even discussed it. We have just been really enjoying ourselves.
"Hmmm...Not really." Seth answered after a while of silence. I was happy that he had answered the question because I had no idea what to say. I was also a little disappointed too.
Why are you disappointed? You're the one who doesn't want a relationship!
"But you're sleeping together?" Brandon butted in.
