"because i'm still in school and haven't taken the bar yet. besides, you offered to take this on despite believing it's a loser case." azalea countered, leaning back in her chair while crossing her arms over her chest. "look, it may be a loser one but it is an important one. and like you said to me the other day, it's terrible how they treat mentally ill people in prison. if he stays in jail, who knows what else will happen to him?" she continued to explain to kathleen, not knowing she was beginning to break through the tough walls of her.

after a moment of silence, kathleen turned to face her with an unreadable expression, "you know what i like about you? you're idealistic and yet willing to get your hands dirty." she let out a slight snicker, glancing at the papers given to her from azalea. "okay. i'll do it."

azalea smiled in victory, not knowing what will come out of working with kathleen. though when the time came, it was going to be bigger than she could ever ask for. if anything, it'll be a dream come true. except she has a factor to include in everything in her life now.

the real question is, will she be ready?

derek was quite giddy as he prepared dinner, knowing he would get to have his girl all to himself for the rest of the day. although so many things were different now, he wouldn't want anything to be any other way. it all seemed perfect to him. he was finally in a place in his life where he's always wanted to be. how could anything compare to that?

"well isn't this such a lovely sight to come home to..." he heard his girl hum from behind him. he grinned widely, turning around to see her leaned against the wall with crossed arms and a smirk on her face.

"hi my girl." he murmured, making his way over to her and reeling her into a soft kiss. "how was your day?"

"it was good. we got a lot done and it all seems to be working in our favor so fingers crossed." she explained to him, leaning up on her toes to give him another kiss. she giggled when he pecked her lips quickly a few times. "smells amazing, what're you making?"

he smiled proudly, "sweet & spicy salmon with oven roasted broccoli and white rice."

"oh how i love you..." she kissed him again, inhaling the incredible aroma of the delightful dinner he was making for the two of them. "and your cooking. i'm so so so lucky to have you forever."

"and i'm so so so lucky to have you too. so if you don't mind while i finish, could you fix us glasses of any wine of your choosing?" he asked her, swaying the two of them back and forth slowly.

she nodded eagerly, "absolutely."

once she grabbed her wine of choosing she made her way back into the kitchen to see derek placing their plates of food on the table. she set down the wine before going to grab two glasses for them. she turned around to see derek right behind her, causing her to yelp at seeing him there so suddenly.

"i want a kiss." he puckered his lips.

she chuckled at his childlike behavior before leaning up to kiss him softly. he hummed against her, cupping her cheeks in his hands to keep her close to him. he took the opportunity to push his tongue into her mouth, chasing a moan from her. he lifted her onto the counter, standing in between her legs as he deepened their kiss.
