The Following Week…

I was trying my hardest to focus on the case file in front of me, but my mind wasn’t going for it. The only thing that I could seem to think about over the past week was So’Real. Since the day Swan was arrested, he and I had been in a tough spot that I was hoping wouldn’t last for much longer. Especially since I was certain he needed someone with the loss of his brother along with other family issues.

I tried a few times to contact him, but he was giving me the cold shoulder. With the way he was screening the hell out of my calls, I felt so dumb and almost said to hell with him, but I understood why he was so upset. He made it clear that he wasn’t on board with my suggestions for Swan’s case, and I'd gone behind his back to do what I felt was best for her, even though it was a slap to the face for him.

Real had so much pressure on him that I was simply attempting to alleviate some of that. Obviously, I'd gone about it in the wrong way, but my intentions were good. I wanted Swan to get through her trial scot-free just as much as he did, so I would never do anything to jeopardize that. My way was going to have her home and back to her regular life in a few months, but Real couldn’t see that because he was too blinded by the fact that I hadn’t done what he wanted.

For once, he couldn’t have control over a situation, and that infuriated him. Hell, it could have also been because I wasn’t afraid to go against his word, when he was probably used to people doing whatever the hell he wanted, whenever he wanted it. That wasn’t the kind of woman I was, though, which he didn’t like at times.

I glanced at my desk clock, noting it was almost twelve in the afternoon. I had been on the phone with Swan the majority of the morning, and she’d mentioned Knoxx’s funeral was the following day, so I was debating on whether or not I should show up to give my condolences. The only thing stopping me was that I didn’t want to upset Real during a time that was already hard enough for him. It was ironic how even though he was treating me like shit at the moment, I still wanted what was best for him.

He was lucky that I loved his ass because I should have run for the hills a while ago, anyway. I knew what he was into but seeing it—and being involved to an extent—was a whole other story entirely. When that killing happened at the party, that should’ve been my cue to bow out gracefully. Then, the situation with him magically having a baby mother was another issue I wasn’t too comfortable with, but I was dealing because he hadn’t really given me a reason to leave.
