The Lawyer's Obsession

11 | I'm Playing To Win Baby

Adelina Cortez's POV

I left Kane's office rather quickly after he kissed the life out of me. His secretary watched with raised brows as I passed by her desk. I offered a weak smile then nearly ran through the doors.

My phone started ringing and I already knew who it was. "I'm on my way!" I yelled into the phone at Carlos. "Hurry up b***h! I have good news!" He yelled back into the phone before hanging up.

I climbed in the car and tossed my phone to the side. I started up my baby and headed to the house. The car in front of me decided to slam on their breaks, causing me to swerve to the side of the road.

"b***h!" I screamed, then pressed harder on the gas, maneuvering through the slow vehicles, pissed yet excited.

I glanced at the time and noticed it was only 9:45. What the f**k? It was so early. I picked my phone up and texted Carlos.

Adelina

You at home?

Carlos

No b***h! They bumped the photo shoot up to 10!

Adelina

What?!

Carlos

They didn't call?!

Adelina

No hooker!

Carlos

Hurry up Lina, but be careful!

I cursed under my breath then cursed at the red light I was sitting at. "Seriously?! Turn f*****g green!" I screamed.

The car on the side of me contained a group of men looking at me like I was insane. I rolled my window down and smiled.

"Hello men," I said with a wink. The light turned green and I took off quickly, smiling at those idiots shocked faces.

I sped like a maniac the whole way, praying that I wouldn't come across any cops. I got lucky, because I pulled into the parking lot ticket free.

Carlos was pacing back and forth and I smiled. "Would you calm down?" I asked, as I walked up to him. "b***h!" He hollered. "You scared me!" He exclaimed, holding his hand over his heart.

"You'll live. Now come on. Let's get this over with. I want to go out tonight. Just me and you!" I told him excitedly.

"It has been a while," Carlos said with a sad face. "Hey, don't be sad. We will find us some men tonight, with no interruption," I said with a smile.

"You're right! Let's get this over with," he said and opened the building's door. I walked inside with Carlos on my heels. We managed to find the photographer and I scowled.

"Next time, inform someone when y'all decide to bump up the time," I said angrily. "I'm sorry Miss Cortez. I told my assistant to call you," the man said in fear.

"Whatever," I mumbled. "Is the makeup and hair artist here?" I asked. "Um," he said and looked around. "I'm not sure. Sarah?!" He called out and a petite red head came running.

"Yes sir?" She asked with a squeaky voice. "Did you inform anyone of the time change?!" He yelled. "Um, no. I didn't sir. I didn't know I was supposed to," she said softly with plain stupidity written on her face.

"You're fired!" He yelled and the girl started crying before she ran away. "I'm sorry Adelina. This shoot was supposed to bring in big money. We're going to have to reschedule. Is that okay with you?" He asked, with hope in his voice.

"Yes, Mark. That's fine," I told him and it was the truth. "Thank you gorgeous. I will personally be in touch. You and Carlos have a good day," he said with a smile.

"Thanks Mark. You too," I said then walked away. "Come on Carlos. Let's go home and be lazy until tonight," I told him and he squealed. "Yay!" I giggled at his outburst and smiled.

"What do you want for lunch?" I asked when we stepped outside. "I'm not sure. Oh, and before I forget. Some high roller has requested for you to accompany him to a charity event this weekend. He's paying a s**t ton," Carlos said with a smile.

"Sounds mysterious. I like it. I'll do it," I told him and he smirked. "Good to know," he whispered and I scrunched my brows. "Did they tell you their name?" I asked, realizing he never said one.

"Nope," He said, popping the 'p'. "That's weird," I mumbled. "See you at the house. I might make a short stop along the way home," I told Carlos while climbing into my car.

"Okay babes. Be careful!" He said cheerfully before running over to his own car. I reached for my phone and clicked on Kane's contact. I decided to finally save his number. I took a deep breath and typed out a message.

Adelina

What are you doing tonight?

Kane

Well hello there Adelina and I'm not sure. Why?

Adelina

I'm going out with Carlos and I will be very drunk, so if I text or call for a booty call, you ignore me.

Kane

Why would I do such a thing beautiful?

Adelina

Because I don't want you.

Kane

Are you sure about that?

Kane

So if I tell you I want to f**k you until your knees are weak, it won't make that p***y clench with need?

Oh my damn. I felt myself clamp my legs shut and I groaned.

Adelina

You don't play fair Kane.

Kane

I'm playing to win baby.

Adelina

Bye Kane.

Kane

See you later gorgeous.
