Laws of Love Chapter 5

Chapter 5: Lessons To Learn

Keith and Mavis wait for the elevator to go up to their law office.

Keith: Good morning Mave.
Mavis: Good morning K.
Keith: How was your sleep last night?
Mavis: I slept right through. I got 7 hours.
Keith: See, I told you… taking a walk helps a lot.
Mavis: Ok, smartypants!

Keith and Mavis get on the elevator and get out on the floor of their law office.

Keith: Mave, where are our interns?
Mavis: Weren’t they still bickering when we left for dinner tomorrow?
Keith: Uh huh, so did they leave to go home at all?
Mavis: Let me check their desks.

Mavis observes their desks.

Mavis: Keith, their desks are pretty organized, which means they cleaned up everything before leaving.
Keith: So, what happened to them?

A security guard walks in.

Security Guard: Hi guys. So, one of the elevator stopped working last night. We didn’t see until we came in this morning that two people are actually stuck in there. I believe they are the two new interns of yours.
Keith and Mavis: Bosco and Myolie?
Security Guard: I guess so.
Keith: They’re in the elevator?
Security Guard: Yeah.
Mavis: Then, I hope they didn’t start a fight!
Security Guard: Follow me and we’ll find out what happened.

The three of them walk from the office to the elevator to find scratches on Bosco’s face.

Bosco: Keith… I did not mean to be late this morning.
Keith: I’m sorry, does someone mind explaining to me what happened here?

Bosco glares at Myolie. Myolie gives off a worried look.

Bosco: Keith, this woman right here wanted to murder me!
Keith: Wait, explain the whole thing to me please.
Bosco: So, we were going to take the elevator down to go home and call it a day. She presses the button so many times I can’t even tell you how many times she pressed it. Myolie: I was trying to be on the safe side. I didn’t want to be on the same elevator with him. So I admit, I pressed the button just a few more times than necessary.
Bosco: I wouldn’t call numerous times to be a few. So the elevator starts shaking. And this woman here starts screaming. I tell her to calm down and she just never listens. The next thing I know, she grabs onto my face and starts scratching it like crazy. I thought a cat had its claw on me. Unbelievable!
Myolie: What? I hate being trapped in tight spaces, especially in an elevator!
Bosco: And I became the victim.

Mavis and Keith start laughing.

Mavis: You two are exactly like Keith and me.
Keith: Just keep in mind, enemies turn into lovers.
Bosco: With her? That’s just like pushing myself to jump into the ocean.
Myolie: With him? The irresponsible one?
Bosco and Myolie: No thanks!
Mavis: See what I mean?
Keith: You guys think alike too.
Bosco: I can’t help it if someone likes to copy what I say.
Security Guard: Well, my job is done here. So, call me if you guys need anything.
Keith: Thank you. See you later.
Security Guard: Alright. Bye.

The security guard walks away and Keith, Mavis, Bosco, and Myolie head back into the law office.

Mavis: You two are kind of making me laugh. Why are you guys constantly arguing?
Keith: Mave, don’t worry. They’ll turn out to be just like us. Take my word for it.
Mavis: For now… sure.
Keith: Ok, back to the serious matters. How’s reading the files been?
Bosco; Ow, my face!
Myolie: I’m sorry. I’ll help put bandages on you. Just wait a minute!
Mavis: Alright, after we finish this discussion.
Bosco: Fine… So, I found something. I will follow the male client tomorrow.
Myolie: And, I will follow the female client later.
Keith: Alright! It’s good to see progress going.
Mavis: Just remember you two, don’t cross the border. There is only so much we can do as lawyers.
Myolie: Yeah, we know.
Bosco: I’ll try my best.
Keith: Seriously, guys, stop the constant bickering, or at least try. Because, I know you two will become lovers eventually. Haha.
Myolie: Get to the pantry. I’ll put the bandages on you and I’ll call it even.
Bosco: You wish! To call it even, you owe me three things.
Mavis: K, here they go again!
