fell for these ocean eyes

Artemis shook her head at his words,exhibiting a small smile as she placed her phone in the back pocket of her jeans.”There’s no need to apologize,it was bound to happen any time soon.”She affirmed,chuckling quietly.”Yeah,could’ve definitely been worse. I mean,I was expecting it to be completely shattered.”

“Still,you could’ve gotten hurt because of me and my stupid phone.”Artemis shook her head,glancing down at her phone. It calmed how to see how Jordyn was so cool about it,knowing that she wouldn’t cause a scene like other people would. A small chuckle escaped her lips at the other’s words,nodding her head.”It has happened to everyone,I let my old phone fall on the rug once and it stopped working,I guess it was just looking for a reason to quit.”

Artemis felt extremely guilty,knowing she was at fault in the situation. She was the one distracted with her phone,careless about what could possibly happen. The impact of her body bumping into his much bigger one caused her to stumble back a bit,feeling a bit lost. Adjusting the strands of her brunette locks,she glanced up at the tall male. Her gaze kept shifting from his eyes to the coffee spilled on the floor before finally fixating on his features.”Yes I am. Again,I’m so incredibly sorry.”Artemis apologized once again,smiling politely to the other as she took her phone from his hand. Fortunately for her,her phone didn’t have any cracks but only small scratched and seemed to work. ”Let me buy you a new cup of coffee to make it up to you,since I clearly ruined that one.”She offered with a soft tone,truly sorry for the small accident.

Artemis couldn’t help the small chuckle from escaping her lips at the sound of his exaggerated gasp,nodding her head. “I am alright,don’t worry. I don’t know about my phone but I’m truly afraid to find out.”She said while reaching down to pick up her phone,whose screen was slightly broken.”It’s small,nothing too bad I guess. At least it still works!”

Artemis couldn’t believe what she was hearing,how could someone act up like that over a small incident?”Well you’re one to talk. When was the last time you got your head out of your ass,huh?”She questioned,completely enraged at the other’s words.”You know what,I don’t need to hear this. Have a good day.”

Artemis nodded along to his words,sighing softly.”I’ve been stressed,too many cases just for one person.” She smiled gently before laughing as he showed her what he brought with him.”I should’ve known,you always got one up your sleeve,Riley.”The lawyer chuckled softly before nodding.”Alright alright,I’m in!”

Artemis was shocked at the other’s reaction,to say the least. Trying to maintain her cool,she took a deep breath before sighing.”I know what happened was my fault but it was an accident so could you not be a bitch about it?”She shook her head,tired of the other’s attitude already. Normally,she would never offend someone she didn’t knew but the other woman was already getting on her last nerves.

Artemis knew something could happen if she used her phone while walking but still did it anyway. She knew she was at fault here and it made her feel terribly bad,even if the other female had no injuries.”Still,I am so so sorry. It’s all my fault,I was just distracted and ended up bumping into you.”The lawyer said,sighting softly. “No no,I’m all fine.”Reassured the blue-eyed female,bending down to pick up her phone. Seeing it was broken,she sighed heavily before unlocking it.”At least it still works.”

Artemis let out a small laugh at his words,shaking her head as she glanced at her phone and stopped the music playing on her earphones. “Haven’t seen you for a hot minute,what have you been up to,huh?”The female questioned in a sweet tone.”Only you could remember that.”She began,chuckling softly.”I don’t have any swimming gear on right now!”

”Oh shit.”She mumbled,more to herself before looking at the person.”I’m so sorry,are you okay?”

A small cough from the end of the aisle tore Frankie’s attention away from shelving the books and instead he turned to look at the person standing there. He heaved himself up off of the ground with a sigh and walked over.

“Do you need something?”

Since her younger years,Artemis had always been a fan of books. Growing up without any siblings and little to no attention from her parents led her to find her own hideaway in books. With her work going better and better each day,finding time to read any type of book that didn’t talk about law was getting harder and harder but she was ready to change that. Artemis had been searching for a book that sparked her interest for the past twenty minutes and she had yet to find one that got her hooked.

As she scanned her vibrant blue eyes through all the titles written in the books’ spine,she let out a quiet cough before shifting her attention back to the stories. Artemis jumped slightly at the sound of another voice,not aware that there was someone else present in the aisle.

“Uhm...”She began in a quiet tone,looking at the male.”Actually,yeah. I need help finding something new to read. Could you help me,please?

riley’s life was a nonstop rising at sunlight and quitting once the sun is gone. yet, he always found some time to have fun. covered in dirt, he made his way down the streets of bluebell. living their his entire life, he would bet you ten dollars that he could walk it with his eyes closed. when the first person to come into his sight was nearby, he was quick to jump to talking. “hey!” he cooed, running to get closer to them. “you wanna go to the bridge and go swimming?”

It was unusual for Artemis to walk back to her house from her office but after what seemed like a calm day at work,she couldn’t help herself but to relax as she walked down the streets,earphones plugged in as she enjoyed the old tunes. The second one of her favorite tracks started playing,she heard a distant voice that made her take off one of her earphones. Looking at the male who was about her height,she furrowed her eyebrows with a small smile.”I’m sorry,I didn’t quite catch that.”She displayed a sweet grin,curious to know why he was covered in dirt.” Were you talking to me?”

Did you know that ARTEMIS JOHNSON has called Bluebell home for THIRTY-FOUR YEARS? It’s hard to believe that the THIRTY-FOUR year old CIS FEMALE looks so much like ALEXANDRA DADDARIO. Word around town is that SHE is COMPETITIVE and OPINIONATED but I think they are COMPASSIONATE and CHARMING. Last I heard, they were working as an LAWYER AT BLUEBELL’S LAW OFFICE.
