--

I stop by Asa's flower shop and drop down on a chair next to him.

I'm not very proud of my out burst to Wilson. It was not proffessional and quite childish, but I was so angry.

And I couldn't care less in that moment.

"I lost." I sigh.

"Really? Well, that's okay. Sometimes people don't win ... And, it's life.

It was meant to happen." He smiles as he fixes some flowers.

"Meant to happen? For what reason?"

"Who know? We will have to wait a see."

"It's not that I'm surprised. I'm just disappointed."

"In yourself?"

"Yes, myself. But also the society. It's so obvious he did but won only because ...he has money."

Asa laughs. "Obviously. Money can literally get you out of murder.

At least he wasn't a murderer.

That would be worse, hm?"

"Being a lawyer is awful. I don't even know if Finnegan is a good person.

I feel like both of them are bad and should be in jail"

"Then just leave it for someone else to solve it.

Get your money for the case and move on."

"I just want to get better. I want better deals."

"Start with easy ones and then go higher.

Do you really want to work with real criminals? It's dangerous.

But sure. If you want the big money."

"I don't need big money. I just want to feel like I'm good."

"You are a lawyer for what? Two years? Calm down.

How old was that other lawyer? Didn't he have at least a eight more years of practice?

You will get there."

"Can you give me some pretty flowers? I will pay.

I just want something pretty to look at."

"I'm pretty." Asa does a twirl.

I giggle. "I meant in my flat. It's just ...lonely and dark."

"Oh my god. Are you depressed?" Asa looks at me.

"No, i don't think so. But I feel alone sometimes.

Especially on shitty days like this."

"I told you we can live together but you said no."

"Because i want to be independent."

"Okay? You can be."

"Maybe i shout buy a cat."

"Please don't. I hate cats." Asa scrunches his nose, "they are annoying, always scratch you and wake you up at three am.

I also think I'm allergic so o couldn't come to your place.

Besides you are so not a cat person. You are a dog person.

But please don't get a small dog. Small dogs are so aggressive.

I'm scared of them.

Just get a boyfriend." He smiles.

"Thank you. Such a great advice," i say sarcastically, "I'm trying but every guy is an asshole.

I hate men."

"Date a woman."

"I'm not into women. I wish I was but it's not ...it's not there.

I'm stuck with men." I whine, "do you know any?"

"Nope. If i knew some i would keep them for myself."

"Mean but understandable.

Hm, but you can have girls too."

"I like dicks more." He shrugs , "leave me be and worry about yourself

You look miserable."

"I know." He gives me a bucket of flowers and put some money on the counter.

"Should I call parents?"

"No." I frown, "just call me tomorrow and make sure I live."

"Okay." He smiles.

I drove home with the bucket of flowers. I watch the couples on a bus laughing together and kissing.

Everyone is so happy, it makes me feel like shit.

Not only I'm an embarrassment for losing. I'm starting to be depressed and lonely.

"Hey, Cas." Orson smiles at me in the hallway.

"Oh, hi." I unlock my door, "hey, Orson. Do you want to go to my place?

And just ...talk. i don't know "

He looks at me innocently. "Yeah, sure." He follows behind.

I really need some company. "Nice flowers."

"Thank you. They are from my brother's flower shop ..."
