Tease

Chapter Two

OUR TOUR continues to the break room, associates hallway, helping hands and ends at the lobby.

Once we get there I have two pages of my notepad full and Ms. Fairbanks is talking to the woman I met earlier, Julia. Ms. Fairbanks sees me and Kelly and says a goodbye to Julia. She starts to walk to the elevator.

"Do you like your office Ms. Tanner?"

She calls over her shoulder as she reaches the elevator. I walk up next to her and smile.

"Very much Ms. Fairbanks. It has a beautiful view."

She smiles and let's out a small chuckle as the doors open and she steps into the elevator. I follow right behind her.

"I often get more comments about the desks then the view. Kelly, I would like my usual coffee when I get back from court."

Kelly smiles and I bite my lip. Should I not like the view?

"You got it boss."

The doors close and I finally realize I'm in an elevator with The Lillian Fairbanks. I become nervous and shift on my feet. What was wrong with me? I'm never like this! She sees this and clears her throat.

"Ms. Tanner?

I turn my head to her. "Yes?"

She lets amusement cross her eyes as she turns her head and looks at me.

"If I wanted a nervous lawyer to come with me to court I would've brought someone else. Understood?"

I blush and nod my head yes.

She chuckles and turns her eyes back ahead as the doors open.

"And if I wanted a blushing school girl I would brought my 'head over heels for the idea of love' little sister with me."

She walks out of the elevator and leaves me dumbfounded and blushing harder then before. I quickly walk after her. She told me she has a sister. Grant it it was because she was making fun of me but maybe, just maybe she was starting to warm up to me.

I watch her stride across the marble floor. Interrogating the suspect on the stand. She calculates every move she makes, every word, every fact. Within an hour she finally closes the one week long trial with a win. I smile and along with multiple others stand up and clap for her and her client. Ms. Fairbanks smiles and looks back at me. She shoots me a smile and a heart throbbing wink. I sit back down as she starts talking to her client. A few minutes pass and a new case starts to trickle into the court. She walks back to me with a smile on her face and I stand up and smile back.

"Congratulations Ms. Fairbanks. You were absolutely amazing."

She smiles brighter and we start to walk out of the court building.

"What made you so interested in becoming a lawyer Ms. Tanner?"

I smile and we slide into her red Chevy.

She starts the car and drives in the direction of her law firm. "You did."

She gives me a confused and curious look, a small smile spreading across her lips. She was beautiful when she smiled and wasn't just scowling the whole time.

"Okay, I'm intrigued. What do you mean 'I did'?"

I smile and turn towards her a little more, my skirt riding up my legs just a tiny bit. It doesn't go unnoticed by her and her eyes flick to my legs, which doesn't go unnoticed by me. I smirk a little but decide to let her by with it.

"I mean ever since I followed the King case in 2004 I've never had a doubt that I wanted to be a lawyer and come work for you."

She smiles after remembering the case.

"That was a pretty challenging case. I'm glad it put your mind on the right career path."

I didn't know what I was saying until after I said it.

"Well your also the reason that made me want to come work for you."

I quickly look away from her and blush.

"I'm so sorry. I didn't think I said that out loud." I gulp and she chuckles quietly.

"Its okay. I want you to be able to speak your mind. Just remember that you need to think before you speak."

We pull into the parking garage and it was a quiet walk back up to the office. Once were in the elevator I remember the New Comer meeting.

"So what exactly does the New Comer meeting entail ?" she smiles and the doors open and we walk out.

"Honestly, it gives everyone to get to know you and get comfortable with you, but...it's also a chance for them to bet on your answers to the questions they ask."

We reach her office and she walks inside. Great, they were going to bet on my answers. I stand in the door way.

"Do you know when it's going to be?"

She looks up and smiles at something behind me. I turn and see a group of men and woman making their way to the conference room.

"It looks like it's starting now. Let's go New Girl."

I get ushered into the hallway and down to the conference room. When I walk in the whole room turns quite. All eyes are on me and I see Kelly motion for me to move to the front of the room. I swallow my nervousness and walk to the front of the room. I smile weakly at all of the people in the seats.

"Hi. I'm Allison Tanner. You can all call me Ally though."

Everyone smiles back.

"Alright people. Time to start betting. How old is she?"

A young man with a five o'clock shadow yells. Everyone starts throwing money in the middle of the table and yelling out numbers. Some harsh and some very flattering. After a minute a middle aged man stands up and quiets everyone down. He stands up and gives me a nice smile.

"Hey Ally', I'm Frank. I'm in the records department. Tell us how old you are, darlin'."

I smile back at him.

"Nice to meet you Frank. I'm twenty-eight."

Few people grunt in disappointment as two others split the money in the middle. I look at Kelly, being one of the loser but she smiles anyway and mouths for me to take a seat. I move out the chair at the end of the table and take a seat. They calm down and someone yells out another question. They fight over the answers and money until I finally give them an answer.

By the time we only have one more question left I have learned eight names, onto my 9th as a hot woman with short blonde hair and soft blue eyes stands up. She gives me a smoldering look and I immediately give her a sultry smile. Knowing exactly how to work the ladies, even if they weren't my type.

"I'm Emma. One of the associates. My question is...straight or gay?"

She sits back down. Everyone pauses for a few seconds then Kelly slams down 10 bucks on the table.

"Gay." she says confidently.

I try to hide the tell-tale smile from my face and Emma pushes a twenty into the pile, giving me a sly smile from across the table. Five people bet that I was straight and four people bet that I was gay. Which is reasonable considering I look like a fem. Emma stands up again and smiles smugly.

"So, which one is it Ally?"

I guy to my left, James, gives me a creepy smile.

"I bet she's straight."

He winks at me and I smile.

"Fortunately, I'm gay."

His face drops in disappointment along with the other four people who just lost their money. My eyes glance to the door to see my new boss, a smirk painted on her face.

I take a chance and wink at her. She smiles and moves out of the doorway. I look back to my fellow co-workers and see them stashing away the money they've won. Kelly catches my eye and she smiles and walks over to me.

"That wasn't to bad, was it?"

I smile back and let out a small chuckle.

"Not bad at all. I actually had fun watching the betting and answering questions." she smiles.

"Great. Now, follow me."

She starts walking out the door and takes the path to Ms. Fairbanks office.

"She wanted me to bring to her office after the meeting. Have fun." she gives me a wink and walks to her cubicle.

I swallow. Oh god. The wink was to much. But she smiled, it shouldn't be a problem right? I knock on her door and a second later she tells me to come in. I walk in to see her standing next to a bookshelf. I smile at her and she smiles back.

"Take a seat."

I sit down and bite my lip nervously. This woman made me more nervous then a virgin on her wedding night.

"Am...am I in trouble Ms. Fairbanks?"

She shakes her head and moves in front of her desk. She looks down at me and I see something in her eyes I can't recognize.

"Your gay and our firm couldn't careless; however, if Emma's little action of bringing that to light causes a ruckus between co-workers...we might have to address the situation."

Oh, so we were talking about this. Having had to come out more times then I could count to the people at my jobs, I quickly gain confidence. I smile and look at her curiously.

"Address it how, boss?"

She tries to get more comfortable and ends up spreading her legs a little more. My eyes move to the apex of her legs and my panties get wetter. She sees me staring and clears her throat with a smirk. s**t. My eyes snap back up to hers.

"We would address it by sitting down the people that have a problem with it."

I purse my lips and nod my head, letting her know that I agree. I look her up and down. This was my shot. I stand up and a...sexual tension falls across the room. I walk closer to her and she pulls her shoulders back to stand tall. Why? I don't know, she was already a half an inch taller than me when slouching, let alone standing tall when she was an inch taller.

My heart beats faster and I raise my hand up to her chest. I use a finger to lift the gold necklace from her chest, feigning interest in the pendant, and look into her eyes.

"What about you? Do you have a problem with it, boss?"

Her breathing gets faster and stares back at me. The back of my hand ghosts over the soft skin of her chest. My hand runs down the valley in between her chest until I reach the soft silk of her blouse. She suddenly looks down to the floor in between us, breaking the eye contact.

"Call me Lillian in private and no. I would be a hypocrite if I did." Ismirk and lick my lips.

Her eyes flick up to my lips but she quickly looks away.
