Cooper
Sorry I can’t be at the meeting. Stupid continuing legal education.
Me
If you had spaced them out over the last two years like a normal human you wouldn’t be stuck doing twenty-five credits in the next eight weeks before your birthday.
Cooper
I procrastinate on things I don’t care about, and I could not give one single shit about the ethical issues for maintaining client escrow accounts because I don’t maintain client escrow accounts. That’s someone else’s job.
Me
Well, if you ever went out on your own, it would be your job, so it’s probably good information to know.
Cooper
Now there’s an idea.
I frown at the screen, wondering if Cooper is serious. It’s not a secret that he’s not exactly thrilled with this job, and to be honest, it’s been wearing on me too, lately, but going out on your own is a whole different thing.
Me
Okay well, I currently work here, and I have a meeting to get to, so gotta go.
Cooper
Love you. Miss your face. Kick ass.
Me
Count on it.
Love you back, even though your penchant for procrastination gives me stress hives.
Cooper
You’re so sexy when you talk big words to me.
Me
Focus, Cooper.
Cooper
Fuck, now all I can imagine is you saying that, naked.
Me
Do your continuing education like a good boy and that can be arranged.
Cooper
And now I’m hard. At work. Goddammit.
Me
My work here is done.
