Katherine looks at the clock mounted on the wall. Today had been busy three clients in total requested her as thier lawyer. That’s on top of her already heavy work load.

So instead of sitting at home drinking the bottle of sauvignon blanc that has been cooling in the fridge and has her name written on it. She is sitting in the office at ten thirty. Her eyes start to feel heavy after a while and she has trouble keeping them open so she gives up and decides to call it a day.

Logging of the computer she shuts it down and gathers

up four ring binders worth of information, only for one of the cases. Shruging her bag on her shoulder gently so she doesn’t drop all the folders she’s nursing in her left arm. After a little struggle she leaves the office waving goodbye to the security guards ella and sam.

Her Mercedes-Benz is waiting for her in the carpark.

By the time she gets home it’s dark and its a miracle she even got home she could barley keep her eyes open.

She walks straight to her room and collapses on to her soft haven of a bed. She lets out a groan at the thought of having to get up again to take her medication. But hauls herself out of bed to the medicine cabinet in the bathroom.

When she finishes taking the extensive amounts of medication her doctor so kindly prescribed to her. she hobbies over to the saftey of her bed.

Sleep came easy to katherine, her last thought before she drifted into slumber was about what will happen now he’s back…

James paced his office, should he appologise? he was rude, Too harsh, Of course he was. He was still thinking of katherines face when he told her she was a whore. He knew she wasnt he was lashing out angry at himself.

He went over to the liquor cabinet and poured himself a strong drink. He heard the door creak and looked up to see elena standing looling at him her eyes sad and a worried expression on her face. He ignored her fuck he needed this drink.

He knew in his heart he had been too quick to open his mouth he was always prone to blurt things out in the heat of the moment but he really had let loose on katherine.

The fact she didn’t cheat on him still haunted him but he can’t change what had happened all those years ago. He wasn’t good enough for her, she was gentle and caring he was a brute. He should just leave her be hold back the returning feelings of love and continue this strictly professional comunication with her.

Maybe just maybe things will turn out alright. With that final thought james falls asleep in his office chair for the fourth night in a row.

~~~~

The streets are full of important people on a thursday morning. People decked out in their buisness suits. Katherine knew she belonged in the busy scene of new york. she had worked for in it for years. Her marriage had ended and her intentions where to pursue her dreams and wishes of becoming a big shot lawer in the big apple but every morning when she walks to work she can’t help feel a little ache in her heart.

The firm katherine works in is always busy people constantly moving around but today is unusual the main entrance is dead silent the only sound to be heard is the echo of her stiletos on the marbel floor but the hallways are still buzzing with improtant clients.

Thursdays are always the bussiest she never did understand why. For most places it would be a friday because it was the day before the weekend but people tried to avoid the friday rush comming on thursday instead but they all fell into the same trap. Trying to miss the busy day they hit it bang smack in the ass.

Katherine often laughed at it how people walk in smiling like a Cheshire cat at how smart they think they are and When they see the foyer empty like a wasteland on a thursday they smile all the more but the instant drop of the smile when the elevator doors open to reveal a rather crowded 3rd floor is just comic.

Her cubicals phone rings and she reaches to answer it

“Hello this is katherine gray speaking” her usual office introduction rolls off the tip of her tounge as soon as she put the phone to her mouth.

“Oh i thought you might have kept my name still hanging on to the hope that we still have a future.” A smooth husky voice answers

Her eyes automatically roll themselves at the reply she recieved

“Hello Mr saunders how may i help you?” her tone comes of rather guarded and she crosses her fingers hoping he hadn’t noticed

“I was just wondering if you have decided on a course of action with our case yet” his sexy gruff voice makes katherine clench her legs together as a familliar sensation runs through her.

“Im sorry Mr saunders but i have more than one client at the moment so considering our first meeting was yesterday i haven’t had the chance to look at your case thoroughly” she knew he wouldn’t be pleased but it was the truth she had eighteen cases on her shoulders two due in court this week and four the next week so she really hasn’t had the oppertunity to look through it

She hears him sigh deeply and braces herself for the reply she was cautiously awaiting “katherine, I told you i want this a priority case

what could be more important than me after all im probably paying you more than double the other clients.” His voice is sharp but his reaction not as harsh as she expected.

She nodded though she knew he couldn’t see her “Sir I will look at it this evening after my court case but im affraid thats the best I can do” she smiles at her answer standing up for herself was important where james was concerned.

“I am giving you two more days. If you have nothing then I will change over firms ” He shouts loudly.

Katherine feels herself begin to break down but manages to reply shakily to his threat.

“I-i havent done anything wrong mr saunders” she smiles at the level of calmness she portrays compared to the burterflies and little bees flying in her stomach.

“You really think that matters katherine” his voice is lowered now and the level of instensity grows by the minute

“I’m james saunders i have money and fame he will listen to me i could destroy you and your fvcking family and thier families so you better watch and make sure your brain is fvcking working today or else” with that he hangs up and katherine feels the hairs on her neck rise as the fear sets in.

Another sleepless night for her then…

The phone conversation was short but did just enough to cut katherine deep. She would not cry again over this self centered egotistical fvckface. He wasn’t worth it. So instead katherine spent the next ten minutes comming up with a variety of nicknames for james. The nock at the wall of her cubical brought her out of her train of thought. She twisted her neck to see who it was. Relaxing a little as she saw dylan standing there.

“Hey there” he leans against the wall and flashes her a glance at his pearly whites. “What were you thinking about?” He asks her grinning a broad grin that should have sent sparks of electricity shooting through her but it didn’t She knew he was the perfect guy he was kind and thoughtful but no matter how hard she tried she couldn’t feel the chemistry. Not like she used to feel with the other man

She shakes her head “um nothing important just a case” she smiles back at him

“So i had a great time the other night and the firm is having a gala next week i was thinking we should go together.” He wrings his hands nervously waiting for her to relply.

Katherine knew she didn’t like dylan in that way but she knew she didn’t want to let him down. Her was the perfect gentleman and he deserved a chance. So she plastered on a fake smile and replied

“Sure dylan that would be Lovley” he nodded his head with excitement before turning and waving goodbye to her

“See you later katherine ill pick you up at eight.” With that katherine watched him leave.

She turned back to the folders she had been studying, they were from James’s case. She hasn’t really had time to look at them the last few days have been hectic. Her client list expanding and her dreams of having her own law firm seemed to be more within reach than ever before. She was ready and had the drive and determination needed to make it. All she needed was to build up a name. This meant all her clients now would come back to her follow her to her own firm. Then win the cases.

James’s case wasn’t complicated at first glance he had a right to claim in court. He runs a popular investment firm raking in millions in interest every month. The company under scrutiny had borrowed over 5 million dollars and signed the legal documents which ensured the money would come back withing the next three years. It hadn’t. However upon further inspection katherine found herself pulling her hair out and picked up her desk phone dialing a number she never thought she would have to dial again.

The phone picked up on third ring. A rather sickeningly sweet voice answered “hi this is mr saunders office how may i help you today”

Katherine rolled her eyes a little. He’s probably fvcking around with her too. Not that she cared “Hi I’m Miss gray a lawyer from hudson firm. I need to speak to Mr saunders regarding his court case” katherine informs the Secretary

“Fine” is all she gets before she hears the ringing of the transfer and the phone is answered on the second ring

“Hello” his thick sexy voice answers the phone and katherine feels a familliar sensation between her legs. She tries to resist the heat growing but the gravelly voice threw her off.

“Hello Mr saunders im calling to ask who was the lawyer who wrote your buisness loan papers up?” Her silky voice made him smile.

“Oh katherine, what a supprise.” He answered ” Mr lee dexter was his name if i recall correctly” katherine shakes her head hes sitting in his office smirking she can tell, but says nothing about it.

“Its Miss gray to you sir and you may want to change your lawyer in the future because he has left you in a big problem” she knew this wouldn’t go down well woth him

“What do you mean a big problem? I paid alot of money for him he has to be leggit” his voice has shifted from cheeky and cocky to more of a growl.

“I mean he left a major flaw in it. He has allowed for the company to pay in instalments over a five year period if they choose to. This means they still have time to pay it of and you don’t have grounds to go to court” katherine feels herself getting nervous waiting for his reply. He had left it in the fine print

“What?” his tone is hostile and his voice is loud and clear. “How could I not have seen it” he grumbled she hears something smash. And heavy breathing

“James its ok, Im saying you can’t take up the company bit you can take up lee dexter he worked for you and failed

to carry out the job he was employed to do this could as a result cost you millions as in the loan documents it states, that you can’t put intrest on to the loans.”

Keatherine waits for his reaction. She hears nothing for a minute then a deep sigh.

“Are you f+king kidding me?” He is groaning? “After all this f+king lee, fvcking dexter, fvcking screwed me, fvcking over because he’s an absolute lee fvcker.”

Katherine tries to hold in her giggle at his outburst. He always was a funny angry person. His words came out , between curse words which made it even more comical.

James was sitting in his office when his phone rang he thought it was someone loooking and investment but when he heard Katherines voice he smirked a little.

When he got angry at the fact lee dexter screwed him over he started his usual rampage but the sound of katherines soft giggles made him stop. God he has missed her laugh and her giggles. He felt his lips twich up in a smile but hid it again.

The guilty feeling has been coming up more regularly from katherine came back into his life. He accused her of cheating on him and decided to get revenge on her by fvcking her best friend. But she never did cheat meaning he was the only unfaithful one in thier relationship.

He knew he had to get her back but wooing and charm where never his best qualities. He needed a plan and it starts tomorrow. He will visit her and try to s+duce her overwhelm her and wait for her to fall for him again. It won’t be that hard right?

TBC…….

Who are we shipping here dylan and katherine?
