i didnt say i was excited to spend it withyou
Oh.Baz’s stomach tightened.That was… hm.
Got a list of people to visit, huh?
theres no ring on this finger
He bit the inside of his cheek.Right.Of course they didn’t have any loyalties to each other, that would defy the point of a strictly sexual affair.As long as Sami didn’t give him herpes…
dont work late <3
Oh.Or that.
Baz squeezed his lips together to keep himself from smiling—Sami coming over was not something to be celebrated.It just was… nice.To know.Yeah.
Besides, he could do with some fun tonight.The kind that didn’t involve breaking their necks.
“You okay?”Aya’s voice had his head snapping up.She stood at his door with her laptop cradled against her chest.
“Uh, yeah,” Baz said and placed his phone upside down on the desk.
“You looked like you got good news.”
“No!No, just, you know.Eevee.Being a cheerleader.”Baz swallowed.
“Glad to hear you made up.”Aya settled into the free chair.
Was this supposed to be a longer meeting?
Baz glanced at his watch.Just past six.What constituted working late in Sami’s world?He had said he assumed ninepmwas Baz’s regular finishing time.Or did he mean working late by normal people’s standards?
“What do you got for me?”Aya asked.
“Hm?”
“Don’t tell me you think we’re done on the Captain Green case just because you filed one motion.”
Right.That.“Of course not.”
“What do you want to tackle first, Mr.First Chair?”
He glanced at his silent phone.Was Sami on his way already?Would he wait?For how long?Would he leave, or would he find a way to let himself in and linger around the condo by himself?Alone.Naked in bed perhaps…
“Actually,” Baz blurted.“I’m not feeling that great.”
Aya’s eyebrows drew together.“What’s wrong?”
“I can feel a migraine coming on.”In the shape of a 5’8” guy with unrealistic expectations for sex positions.
“Oh.I didn’t know you were prone to migraines.”The softness in her tone pierced through his chest.
“Increasingly so.”That was barely a lie.“Can we take a rain check for tomorrow?I think I need to go lie down.”
“Of course.If you’re up for it.Must be serious for you, of all people, to take a night off.”
He had taken nights off before.He had also argued cases while so high on flu medicine that he could barely stand, but that was neither here nor there.
“Do you need anything?Water?Meds?”she offered.
