Amicus Curiae
Story written on April 22, 2013 by justkeepswimming.
"You sound as though you’re frustrated with work at the moment," Tina said. "Are you frustrated with me too?"
"Not in the least. I’m thoroughly enjoying our time together."
"So am I. More than I expected to, actually."
"Glad to hear I’m exceeding expectations," Bette replied. "Though your expectations were decidedly modest."
"I had respect for your intellectual capacity from the moment we first interacted."
"It’s my motives that you held suspect," Bette replied.
"You must know at least one criminal defense attorney who deserves the assumption he or she has an unsavory character."
"But I don’t want to be lumped together with every criminal defense attorney," Bette said. "There are some real creeps out there."
"Also some innocent people who need defending. And people who have made a mistake that deserve a second chance."
"Careful Tina, it’s starting to sound like you’re considering a move to my side of the courtroom."
"I’ve done pro bono defense," Tina said. "For worthy causes."
"And I’ve declined plenty of cases that my conscience wouldn’t let me defend," Bette said.
"We have a lot more in common than I would have thought possible."
"And a lot more left to learn about each other," Bette replied.
"I won’t keep you," Tina said. "It’s getting late and I know you have an early day in court."
Bette was silently pleased that Tina appeared to be keeping track of her courtroom appearances.
"Since I’m so close to your office tomorrow, maybe we could say hello in person?"
"Stop by when you have the time," Tina replied. "I’m in all day."
Bette confirmed her intention to meet Tina and they reluctantly ended the call to carry on with their evening routines.
After all, they were keeping their interaction at least somewhat professional. Conversations that extended to the wee hours of the night would do nothing to help that cause.
Chapter 6
"Sorry I don’t have a family run diner to offer," Tina said.
"Coffee at your local donut shop is fine by me," Bette replied. "I’m here for the company, not the culinary experience."
"I heard the judge dismissed the case this morning."

Swimmie, I’ve only read page one and I know the rest of it will be awesome. Their banter is just superb, too bad you were not a writer on the show and I most sincerely mean that. I’ve told two or three writers that and I mean it for all of you. I’ll be back.
Five weeks is a long time to let the imagination wander… but I get the impression Bette’s got plenty of patience in reserve, even if she seemingly has few reservations when it comes to what she’ll say to Tina. Enjoyable as ever, jks. Thanks for taking the time to post!
I doubt the five weeks will go quickly for me. I hope it’s not real time but accelerated fanfic time. ;-)Delightful as usual.
Good things come to those who wait. : )
I’m in love with their innuendo laced dialogue! The way the tension is building between these two…Bette is going to blow Tina’s mind! Can not wait for your next post :))
LOVE IT!!!!
Awwww Swimmie you’ve given us another zinger from these two. Bette had better have the patience to wait for Tina and I have a good feeling that Tina just might surprise her. Bette must remember you have to watch out for the silent types that can giver verbally as good as she gets. The only thing is Tina can deliver the goods when its time. I can hardly wait for the five weeks, hope it is only about two and a half or three for us. Bette is laying it on thick with Tina and it is weighing on her mind but she will make Bette wait. And it will be the best gift that Bette has ever received. Wonderful, wonderful chapter. Thanks for posting. Post when you can.
Swimmie, I hope that’s not five weeks real time! LOL
But I really do love the tension and the dialogue, so take all the time you want.
This just keeps getting better.
Love it.Thank you.
thank you for the updates.
Yay, yay, YAY!
Love this, thanks
holy smokes…five weeks to wonder. Great chapter as always. Thanks.
Surely Tina has heard of multi-tasking? Maybe not. Five weeks will fly by in a flash. Staying overnight after the first date, in separate rooms? You’ve changed the story but I still say, “Well, aren’t they modern!” Loving the dialogue! I’m looking foward to their legal maneuvers as much as their potential romantic ones. Thanks!
Just wanted to inform you that I have zero (0) self control. Zilch. Nada. Zip. I’m reading all 6 pages in one go! As they say back on the farm, “How you like me now?” , Back to the story…
Wonderful thank you
Excellent! Sorry I was late to comment, I have been busy, practicing with cherry stems.
Yes she will and she will be there for you Tina, please post more, thanks!
Loved it. PPS
