DREW
I slip out of the bed, naked, and head into my en suite. While the shower
heats the wet room, I look out over Manhattan. From this angle, I see the
spring sun rising through the multitude of the city’s skyscrapers. On the
other side of my apartment, the view of Central Park is lush green.
When I step into the shower, I’m blasted from all angles by the spray.
Closing my eyes, I lean my head back and let the jets clean away the mild
fog I feel from last night’s scotch. I didn’t have much, just enough to take
the edge off the stress of today’s hearing.
It’s time to bring my game face. In a few hours, I’ll be in court,
defending another millionaire accused of white-collar crime. Today, I’ll be
convincing Judge McAvoy that my client isn’t guilty of insider trading,
despite the fact he placed trades that made him more money than even the
Einstein of Wall Street could have managed.
Hey, he pays me a hell of a lot of money to keep him out of pretty-boy
prison, and let’s be real here, it’s not like he killed anyone.
Knocking off the shower, I shake out my dark-blond hair, flick water
from my ears, and tie a towel around my waist. After wiping down the
steamed mirror, I brush shaving cream on my face and get on with making
myself appear court presentable. By court presentable, I mean a cut above
the average man’s best day. I’m a big hitter on the circuit and I have to look
like one. It’s all part of the show.
When I’m finished, I slip out of the bathroom and pad quietly through
the bedroom to my walk-in – not intentionally quiet because I don’t want to
wake the sleeping brunette in my bed but because my feet are bare on the
thick rug.
The hanging racks are full of suits and shirts but there’s only one suit
for court. The don of all suits. The pinstripe.
I dress in my shirt and pants, wiggling the knot of my tie until it sits just
so. My vest is next; judges like a three-piece. I leave my jacket until last,
carrying it with me to the kitchen as I go in search of my best friend. I hear
her percolating and smell her rich aroma before I see her.
Meet my coffee maker. The most reliable and dependable thing in my
life. Black coffee in hand, I head back to my bedroom to wake last night’s
conquest. She’s wrapped loosely in only my white, cotton sheet, her slim,
tanned body displayed in all but the most important places. Her hair and
makeup aren’t as pristine as they had been when I’d picked her up in the
bar, but I can still see why I brought her to bed.
