TW: Colorism, Misogyny

The trial is next week and I'm kind of nervous. I've never been to one before and for this one I'm actually apart of it.

I've been staying with Kostas for over a week now and despite him being a huge distraction in the morning, I've been enjoying my time here.
This is the first time I've stayed with him for more than 2 days at a time.

The time we've spent together has reassured me that if a time comes when we do move in together, we wouldn't have a problem living together. I've learned just how clean of a person Kostas is. He does have people deep clean this mansion on Monday's while he's at work and I don't blame him because this is a lot of house for one person to clean. Other than that, he keeps the place tidy until then.

He washes his dishes, cleans up his mess, and I've never seen him take off his clothes and throw them on the floor, they're always put into a hamper. He doesn't leave the toilet seat up and his bed is always made before he leaves for work as well. This might not seem like much, but it's the little things that count for me. I would hate to move in with him, just to become his maid.

I looked at the time and saw it was almost one o'clock. I should probably get ready.
It's been a while since I've been out with Aria so we decided to go to a spa to relax.

We're nearing the end of April and it's warmed up a bit, so I can officially retire my winter coats. I opted for a green floral patterned sweater instead. I crocheted this sweater last year, but never got around to wearing it. The theme for it was definitely spring. I kept my outfit simple since we're most likely changing into robes anyway.

After getting ready, I waited for Aria to pull up. She would be riding with me today. Kostas has hired security for me because his paranoia got the best of him. He was afraid of the trial attracting too much attention to me that could possibly get me hurt so Kurt, the man he hired, drives me everywhere.

I can't wait for all of this to blow over so things can go back to normal. The amount of attention this trial is getting is ridiculous. I didn't think Kostas was actually well known since we've always been able to go places without attracting too much attention, but I guess a young billionaire is enough to spark people's attention, especially one being sued.

Sure he's been on the cover of magazines, but he's not a celebrity, or at least, it didn't seem like it. Honestly, this whole thing is confusing. People always left us alone until now.

A car horn broke me from my thoughts and I checked the Ring app to see Aria's car parked out front. Yes, I have access to his Ring doorbell. He has other cameras scattered around the perimeter of the house that I can also check in on. He made me download the app and logged in for me shortly after he gave me the key to his house.

I walked out as Aria was getting out of her car. "Ready?" I asked after locking the front door, she nodded. Kurt was also parked in front of the house and he got out to open the door for us. We thanked him and he got into the drivers seat and drove off.

"So...how are you holding up?" She asked after a minute of comfortable silence. I looked towards her and shrugged. "I'm alright...I just want this to be over soon so things can go back to normal, yet, at the same time, I'm dreading the day of the trial, not only because of the outcome, but for my role in the trial. What if I mess up with my statement and that causes him to lose?" I said quietly. The partition is up, but it's not like it's sound proof. Not like the limo, this is just a regular modified truck.

"You said it yourself that his lawyer told you to be honest when you answer the questions, so the rest is in their hands. If you answer the questions honestly then you've done your part. You don't have to stress yourself out about this, that's what the lawyer is for. Once we get to this spa, all of your worries will melt away." She said smiling. I gave her a smile back.
