What's wrong with him

I feel very sorry for Dominic.

We spoil his birthday every year; not on purpose ofcourse !

But something always happens and his mood and his day gets spoiled.

And last night was the worst I guess.

I don't remember anything at all but, I heard them talking about some accident and Dominic's patient.

I guess he hit someone last night.

Dominic went to his clinic along with Cole and Derek.

I don't know what would happen. I hope the victim is alright.

No doubt Dominic is a very good Doctor but, you never know !

I haven't got him a gift till now.

I'll get it on my way back from the court.

I always get late for work because of Lauren !

He never gets ready on time.

And whenever I ask him to let me go early and he can come later, he doesn't even consider that !

" Lauren ?

Lauren !

If you won't get here in 5 minutes, I am out of here !

Then don't come yelling after me to court. "

I yelled towards his room.

" I am here, darling.

And excuse me, I don't yell at you, love ! "

Lauren said coming downstairs.

" Oh, you don't ?

Then, who was that yelling at me in the court during my on going hearing of a case, few days back ? "

I said making him remember what he did.

" Oh, that...

I said I was sorry, dear.

I was mad at you ! "

He said shrugging.

I sighed and rolled my eyes.

"What ?

Are going to hold it against me now ?

Against me ? "

Lauren said making a puppy face.

God, this drama queen !

He always do this.

Do something and makes a puppy face and actually looks innocent and cute !

But I am not gonna fall for his trap this time.

" Shut up !

And don't you make this face infront of me, ever again, understand ? "

I said trying to sound serious and angry.

" Why are you being such heartless today, baby ? "

Lauren said looking hurt.

" Don't baby me !

And what's wrong with you and Derek ?

Why do you guys treat us like, we are your lovers ?

At least you are a bit better than him.

But still ! "

I asked him what I wanted to ask for a long time, just didn't got the right opportunity.

" We got used to use these words like, 'baby', 'sweetheart' , 'love' , 'sweetness', 'darling', 'sugar' etcetera etcetera.

And use some cheesey lines when anyone among you get mad at us ! "

He said casually.

I narrowed my eyes.

" It's not like we are gay, we are straight and you know that.

It's just that, after being around many chicks and facing their dramas, our natural reaction comes out like we are treating them.

So, don't... "

Lauren said defensively.

" What ?

Are you homophobic ? "

I asked in disbelief.

How could he be a homophobic ?

" I didn't said that !

I have many friends who are gay.

And they even hit on me, I am still their friend !

Just because they have different sexual preferences than mine, doesn't mean I'll hate them or treat them differently !

How could you ? "

Lauren said disgusted at my thoughts.

" Oh, I am so sorry, drama queen !

Shall we get going ? "

I said changing the topic.

I don't want to argue with him and get late today as well !

" With pleasure, dear. "

Lauren said with a cute smile.

" Remember one thing, you won't ever yell at me in the court and within it's surrounding.

I am the prosecutor, dude !

Show me some respect; at least at work place !

If you won't respect me, why would anyone else respect me ? "

I said.

" I am sorry, honey.

I'll keep that in mind.

Now, shall we ? "

Lauren said moving towards the car.

I should ask him about his sexual preference.

Why did he sounded a bit offended or guarded as if, I would find out he is gay !

I will ask him on our way court.
