Madam President (EDITING)

Chapter 120: Is It Everything You Hoped It Would Be?

"Sure I do, you were pissed that she decided on Terrance's case."

"So you're telling me that you actually did pay attention during our relationship?"

"It was hard not to when you got so passionate...I always knew you we're going to make a great lawyer."

"Yeah, I still have to pass the fucking bar exam to become one."

"I thought you posted about taking it already?"

"I did but I guess they're short staffed due to layoffs so it's delaying the processing times."

"That sucks but come on you know you passed."

"I hope so because I've never wanted anything more."

*******

"Oh my god that was so close!"

"LeBron is the king of clutch shots that's why he's the GOAT."

"Hard to argue that", I say getting up and putting on my jacket.

"Don't tell me you're trying to leave already?"

"Do you see what time it is? Big day tomorrow remember?"

"You sure you're ok to drive? You can always take my bed."

I give her a glance.

"Boundaries, I know sorry."

I grab my purse and walk towards the door.

"So when do we get to do this again?"

"Were you always this annoying?"

"Were you always this rude?"

"I'd like to think I'm a lot nicer with old age."

She laughs.

"There's going to be this big viewing party for the results tomorrow night. I'll be working it so I'll have to stay a little later but why don't you pick me up after that? We can get dessert from Canter's or something."

"Oh man I've missed those cupcakes."

"They're literally the best."

"I remember you specifically having me take you there after class all the time. I thought you wanted to grab a sandwich...you know what they're famous for but no, we sat in hours of traffic for dessert."

"Can you blame a girl for her sweet tooth?"

"I can't", she smiles."I guess I'll see you tomorrow."

I turn the doorknob to exit and she stops me.

"I don't get a goodnight hug?"

"No Natalie, that's how it begins."

She smirks, "Are you saying I'm so attractive that you can't handle a hug from me?"

"Oh please, I hate your face."

"I hate your face too."

"Luckily you don't have to see it for the rest of the night then", I say walking out.

"Hey that was a setup."

I shake my head, "Goodnight Natalie."

"Goodnight Rachel."

I arrive home shortly after leaving Natalie's apartment. I toss my keys on the counter and take off my jacket. I take a look at the time and have a seat on the couch turning on the tv.
