eagerly, Lucy
blushed again
“I have a date coming round” eek I knew who that would be, I wonder if big bro would approve of
his sister bedding his closest friend.
“Lucinda, Rob and I have spoken so he knows I am round here, we can all share a takeaway then you
two can do your thing or whatever it is you do” he stumbled over the last part.
    So Adam was okay with it that surprised me, pleasantly though I admit. I went to have a quick
shower; this time I let my hair to dry naturally, I threw on my new skinny Levi’s and one of the t
shirts Lucy had picked for me. It was a lot tighter than I would wear normally, but looking in the
mirror I could see that I had a really nice shape, so maybe she knew what she was doing after all.
Lucy grinned when I walked into the lounge,
    “Hot babe, told you I was right” I glared at her to be quiet as Adam was staring at me, making me
feel very conscious all of a sudden. We had plenty of Bud’s left over from last night so we all grabbed
a bottle. The door went and Rob strolled in his hand possessively on Lucy’s backside, not unnoticed
by her frowning brother.
    “Hey Adam, Leah, looking good girl you have been hiding away somewhere how come I never
noticed you before” he meant it as a compliment; thankfully Lucy didn’t appear to be bothered by it
so I laughed and wandered to the sofa’s to get comfy. Conversation flowed easily between the four
of us; I was surprised by how jovial Adam could be.
    Rob being in the police force meant of course we discussed Adams high profile defence case; it
appeared a very wealthy and powerful business mogul Victor Bosic had money embezzled out of one
of his vast business accounts. Victor had sacked him and was in the process of putting together a file
to give to the police, the man in question was found murdered the day Victor reported him. The
police were convinced this was not a coincidence and that Victor had ordered the kill himself, so far
the defence was strong. Adam could not see him getting prosecuted but actually admitted he
thought him guilty.
“How can you defend a guy against murder, when you know he did it” I was struggling to
comprehend his morals, Adam answered honestly
    “It doesn’t matter what I think, that’s my job, is it any better putting a man behind bars you know is
innocent, it all comes down to how well the evidence is collected and who happens to have the best
argument in court” I thought about it and decided he was right. It was wetting my appetite for my
new job though, court reporter would be fascinating. Perhaps if Victor goes to court I may get
chance to cover it.
    It sounded like Victor was a rather ruthless business man; Adam’s fathers company had represented
him for over forty years and had his trust completely. No wonder Adam was putting his all into this
case, as their father’s biggest client it was a real privilege to be asked to replace him as his lawyer.
Adam obviously had a good reputation in court, Rob seemed to have utmost respect for him. I could
imagine him being able to persuade any jury of absolutely anything, especially if the majority were
female!
The food arrived, I wolfed down a chow mein and half a portion of chicken fried rice, Rob kept
teasing me that he had never seen a girl with a healthy appetite before. What I didn’t explain was
having been a child with no food to eat it made you appreciate anything that was put on your plate.
    Adam was staring at me, it was like he had the same thought in his mind too, exactly how much did
he read in my scrap book? The conversation turned to television I confessed to being an Idiot Abroad
fan, we all agreed on that one then we got onto thrillers
    “Luther best thing ever shown in my opinion” Adam liked Luther wow, my box set sprang to mind
jumping up, I disappeared to my room. To everyone’s surprise I returned with my pride and joy,
Adam’s face lit up like a child. Lucy groaned, she had been forced to watch Luther many
