Baz regarded the gray circle next to Sami’s name.He needed a picture of him, something more tangible than a memory to hold on to when his bed was empty.Or he needed to invite the man himself here more often.Be treated to his dorky face when he refused to wake up, the tangled mess of curls sprawled across the pillows.His lips, free for Baz to kiss…
Bzz bzz.
good morning to you too honey <3
Try not to commit any crimes today
try to not be a dick today <3
Can’t.Too busy trying not to think of you on my dick…
Baz bit his lip as he hitsendand refreshed the chat.The three dots announcing Sami was typing popped up.Disappeared.
Refresh.
Refresh.
careful
you make me wanna come by for a taste
What if that’s exactly what I’m going for?
then you shouldn’t work in a glass office haha
i dont feel like getting castrated by aya today <3
Yeah, there was that.But if Baz could give Jack of all people a second chance, Aya could come around to Sami too, right?
To ensure it wouldn’t take thirteen years, he again stopped by her favorite coffee shop before work.There were only so many free oat milk flat white mochas she could resist before her demeanor mellowed.
He hummed to himself on the way to her office.Aya was already planted in her seat, focusing on something on the screen with a pinched expression.Barely eightam, and already on top of her game.She was incredible.
“Morning,” Baz chimed.Aya gave him the once-over.Her forehead creased.
“What’s gotten into you?”
“What do you mean?”
“You seem… happy.”
And that was a bad thing now?Funny how she was bewildered by his every emotion.
“It’s gonna be a good day, I can feel it.”He placed the cup in front of her.
Aya regarded the offering through narrowed eyes.“Hm.Well, you might be right about that.I just got word that we have a court date to obtain class certification.Next Monday.”
“That’s great news!”It might be the push Captain Green needed to make a sensible settlement offer, and then, he and Sami would be free to be whoever they wanted to be.His heart summersaulted at the thought, despite Aya going back to ignoring him.Hopefully, it wouldn’t be much longer until they could put this case behind them.
Baz fought the urge to skip down the stairs.He couldn’t wait to tell her what happened with Sami and his dad once there was nothing left for her to worry about.When he and Sami were just two lawyers who happened to fall in—who happened to enjoy each other’s bodies.And souls.
Especially his soul.
Really, he could see Aya and Sami becoming friends too, once she saw for herself what a kind, fun person he was.
He spent the morning rounding up his pretrial memorandum—the toxicology report for the herbicide batch the club usedstillhadn’t come through.What the hell was that lab doing?—and dealing with Eevee’s pestering to meet for lunch.
Eevee
