Love Court (part 1)

As I walked through the doors, I was pretty much sure that this wasn’t a case that I could win. On the plaintiff’s side was this pretty young thing, coldly staring at me, the defendant.
I took a seat at the table left of her, with no counsel. I decided I needed no help. Like I said I was doubtful I’d get a positive outcome, so I’m thinking I can do bad by myself.
The Bailiff requested everyone to rise. The Judge appeared and told us to be seated. After the Bailiff read the case details to the judge and handed her the file, she placed her hand on her gun as if she would need it. (Chuckle)
The Judged called for the Plaintiff’s first witness. The lawyer called the Plaintiff to the stand. The Bailiff swore her into oath, holding a bible for her to place her hand.
The lawyer asked her to state her name for the court, and she responded “Jessica Rivera”. Then at the lawyer’s request went into her side of the story of how I tried my best to get near her.
“At first I would ignore his attempts at flirting, but his charm wore down my defenses. And after a while I admit I fell in love with him, but from there on out I was totally defenseless. Until I realized what a trifling dog he is. And then I came to my good senses.”
“And how did you come to this realization ms. Rivera?” The lawyer asked
“Well one day I saw him walking down the street holding hands with some girl. That’s right I saw your ass.”
“Ms. Rivera, no more outburst. And you can’t curse. Please just answer the question” the Judge replied.
Jessica began to break down in tears. “I’m sorry your honor, (sob) (sob) he told me he loved me… he just lied.”
The lawyer continued with her questions. “Ms. Rivera, were there any other incidents? Please think.”
“There was this one time I went to surprise him at his apartment, and this girl I know I’ve seen before was getting on the elevator when I was getting off. But I dismissed it as a co-inky-dink.
Then I realized that the trail of her perfume led back to his door. And after having me wait in the hall for like five minutes, when I got inside I smelled it some more.
Of course being the dog he is, he couldn’t even be a man and admit it. He really could have told me straight from the get-go that he only had plans to hit it.”
“Objection your honor. I’m a man not a dog, and she’s speculating on what my plans were.” I was drowning quick I had to say something.
“Ma’am please refrain from name calling. And sir,” the judge says smirking, “until you get on the stand please sit down and say nothing.”
I sunk lower in my seat, and starting regretting not having a lawyer by my side. I could have plead this one out for manslaughter, instead it looks like I’ll be going down for homocide.
She said she’d never be able to love again because I murdered her heart more than once.
She testified for over two hours. When her lawyer dismissed her from the stand, the judge dismissed us for lunch.
