Amicus Curiae
Story written on April 16, 2013 by justkeepswimming.
Tina put the strap of her briefcase over her shoulder and brushed by Bette to proceed up the aisle between the rows of seats.
"Tina," Bette called as she reached the doors.
Tina turned to face her.
"I heard you were working on Prop 8," Bette started. "Our interaction today notwithstanding, I wanted to say thanks."
"The work on that case is ongoing," Tina returned. "And we can always use a fresh perspective."
"Who should I contact to get involved?" Bette asked.
"Me," Tina replied. "At the office. But you have to be able to take explicit instructions."
"I assure you, following explicit instructions is something I take particular pride in," Bette said.
"I wonder if you have the capacity to let someone else be in control."
"I can be submissive when the situation demands it," Bette replied. She added as an afterthought. "Especially for a good cause."
Bette exuded confidence. Not to mention sexual energy. But her confidence bordered on narcissistic. The flirting was enjoyable, but what Tina had said earlier was true. Bette wasn’t her type. Tina had to give Bette credit for the ability to respond in kind.
"I feel like you might be overstating your ability to tolerate someone else as your superior, but we’ll talk more," Tina offered as she exited the courtroom. "If you’re interested, you know where to find me."
"If I’m interested," Bette said. Her words echoed off the walls of the empty room. "How many times to I have to be shot down before I stop being interested…"
Chapter 2
"Much to my chagrin, my client wanted me to inquire as to whether or not the plea offer is still available," Bette sounded defeated.
"He didn’t like how the day unfolded, I guess," Tina replied.
"You know I’m not at liberty to discuss his reasoning," Bette said. "He has simply asked me to make this inquiry."
Day three done. Tina had barely made it into her office when her phone was ringing with Bette on the other end.
"I am authorized to repeat the offer," Tina said. "It’s time limited…"
"Re-send the details and I’ll double check that he will agree to it," Bette interrupted. She hated to lose. A plea was a loss.

Wow, I didn’t know this was your story. I loved the last one. This one looks like it’s going to be great too. Tina seems a lot more self assured and appears to be hard to impress. Bette has her work cut out for her.

I loved the original and im loving this version, as well. I must admit i didnt know it was you. Although, i was curious by the cryptic authors note. However, i decided there was some reasoning on your part to remain anonymous. It definitely added to the mystique. Thanks and im looking forward to seeing where you take this.
This is interesting and like it. Please post more, thanks!

You wrote “Held in Contempt?” WOW. You’re such a good and prolific storyteller. I wonder what’s the incentive for using an alias? Well, this version looks promising and I like the new twists. I trust that you’ll keep us interested and entertained. =) And though I may not have the chance to visit the site, read your posts and other unique stories and comment as often as I want to, please remember that I heart your body of work and your generous spirit.
