XxJilly

Emma's lips found his. "Mmm." Will mumbled against her. "We got work?" He asked as he buried his face into her neck.

"Urgh yeah." She groaned back, turning her face into his so her lips were pressed to his forehead. "Once again…I'm sorry for what I said last night. It was mean and rude…you had just saved Lew getting a face full of fist."

"I'm sorry too…couldn't we at least have made it upstairs?" He grinned as he pressed the flat of both hands against his back.

"Well…you were pretty insistent. Anyway I suppose we could take our passion elsewhere tonight…like your place?" Emma replied softly as she slid from the edge of the sofa, padding along the hallway to the shower room.

"There's a tonight as well?" Will grinned, following her after a moment's hesitation – Lewis's warning still fresh in his mind.

Smiling as she felt Will slide into the shower beside her Emma half turned. "If you want there to be." She murmured as he pressed her against the cool shower wall, the steamy air clouding them as the time ticked away slowly. "Well that was…fun." Emma smirked as she started to towel herself dry.

"…and we are late, very late." Will's eyes widened as he caught sight of the clock above the mirrored cabinet. "Our shift started…ummm…five minutes ago!" He yelped as he dove into his jeans and t-shirt, fleeing around the bathroom as he gathered together the rest of his belongings.

Rolling her eyes Emma sauntered through into her room, tugging out a fresh pair of jeans and two t-shirts which she layered together. "Take a chill pill Will. Haha that rhymes. If the shift's already started then why do we have to worry about being a little later. I'll just say that I picked you up and the traffic was murder…I'll phone in now." She grinned as she stuck her head around the door.

"You seem strangely experienced at deceiving the Inspector…do tell more." Will laughed as he caught her around the waist on her way through to the kitchen.

"Do you really wanna know?" Emma smirked as he picked her up and sat her down on the units, reaching across she flicked the switch on the kettle.

"No…maybe not." Will shook his head as he reached up to kiss her. "Right little bad girl aren't ya?"

Tilting her head to the side Emma smiled innocently as if to say "who…me?" before the toaster pinged out two pieces of golden brown bread which she caught expertly, flinging them onto the waiting plates on the other side of the breakfast bar. "Nope…it's called Not Getting Fired." She giggled as she slid down next to him, reaching for fridge door but he barred her way.

"You gotta fight me for it." He challenged as she ducked and dodged one way and then the other in an attempt to get past him.

"You are a big meanie." She pouted as she reached for her toast, taking a bite of it and screwing her face up. "Tastes like cardboard…give me the chocolate spread mate or I'll thump you."

"It tastes like cardboard…and we are now twenty minutes late for the shift and you still haven't called." Will reminded her as he passed her the mobile from the breakfast bar.

"Yeah, yeah Miss Priss." Emma teased as she turned away from him, her phone held tight to her ear. "Hi…yeah Gina we're sorry. Yeah we…uh I picked up Will this morning 'cause his car's broken. The traffic's murder…I dunno there's something stopped ahead of us. Yeah it hasn't moved in ages and we're deadlocked." She lied smoothly to her superior. "See you when we get there."

As she threw her phone across the table Emma sighed. "Did she buy it?" Will asked from behind her, his chin hooked over her shoulder.

"I dunno." Emma murmured. "I think just about everyone knows what happened at the pub last night…and that we left together so they've probably put two and two together."

"Well we didn't exactly leave together…you stormed out and then I ran after you…nobody knows that I found ya." Will grinned, trying to worm his way back into her good books.

"Oh all right then…we'll just keep up this façade a little longer…and I think we're pushing the boundaries of being late so lets go." Emma shoved the last bit of toast in her mouth as she pulled him from the kitchen, scrabbling for the keys on the table which she used to lock up behind her.

"Come on driver…mush." Will grinned as he sat in the passenger seat, waiting for Emma to get in.

"Don't push it buddy." Emma laughed as she put the car into reverse and zoomed out of the driveway.

As she flew from the locker rooms, her tie still in her hand as she tried to attach her radio to her belt, her stab vest between her teeth Emma looked briefly at the notice board, trying to work out who she was paired with. Next to the pairings list however – which she completely forgot about – was an A4 sheet of paper with the words 'Emma loves Will' printed clearly in the centre. Spinning round she saw the corridor lined with them before she thumped her head against the wall repeatedly. "Self harm is not the answer Emma." Lewis joked as he sauntered past her.

"Shu'up." She groaned in reply as she felt her phone vibrate in her pocket.

See what he's capable of?

Love Matt

Reading those words Emma's blood boiled. Who was he to tell her what to do? She'd broken up with him! Storming along the corridor she found herself near lifted off the floor as her arm was captured in a tight grip. "Jesus Chr…" Emma paused mid sentence as she saw Gina's unimpressed face staring back at her. "Uh…sorry Ma'am."

"Yes you may be Emma but I don't think you're nearly sorry enough. Now that little show last night down at the pub may have got a few tongues wagging here but that's the last of your worries at the moment. Matthew Hinckley has decided to press charges, he's claiming that Will assaulted him with no provocation. Now as there is of yet no evidence of this, he is not station bound but I think you owe it to him to get this bloody mess sorted out. Don't you Emma?" Gina whispered lowly as her grip tightened further on her arm.

Nodding Emma wriggled slightly. "Yes…yes of course." She replied meekly as she scurried from the room, already pulling her phone from her pocket. She got no further than the end of the corridor though as she bumped right into Will who sent her flying backwards.

"Oh my god sorry Em. Are you alright?" He asked as he pulled her into him, carefully inspecting her for any damage.

"Of course I am silly…I think the better question is…how are you?" She replied looking up at him, worry creasing her expression. "Gina told me about Matt. I'm so so sorry. I swear I'll try and sort this out."

Pulling her quickly into a spare interview room Will sat her down on the table. "Look Emma…I'm a big boy I can take care of myself. Sort it out if you can but…but don't give into whatever he wants. I don't want to lose you again." He murmured as he leant back against the wall, keeping a firm distance between them.

"Of course I won't. I'm not stupid." She snapped back, stung that he didn't want to be near her. "Now if you don't have anything better to do, I'm due out on patrol." She started to storm past him but his hand caught her waist.

"We're on patrol together." Will replied simply.

"Brilliant…bloody marvellous." Emma rolled her eyes, fate clearly not working in her favour. "The day that I choose to throw a strop at you and we're paired together. Somebody clearly doesn't like me up there."

Catching her up as she sped out of the custody exit and down the ramp Will smirked. "Choose to throw a strop?"

"Yeah choose to throw a strop because it sounds like you don't trust me to make the decisions that are right for me, that you like everyone else on the whole bloody planet have to give your two cents worth because apparently I can't take care of myself now." Emma grumped as she walked quickly through the gates and out onto the street with Will desperately tailing behind her.

Running to keep up with her he breathed loudly in her ear. "I do trust you. I do think you know what's best for you…I just…I wanted to make sure that you're plans included me…because I can't see my life without you." Will smiled earnestly as Emma turned, her heart melting as his words reached her ears.

"Oh Will." She whispered as she wrapped her arms tightly around his back, her head buried into his chest.

"Urrr Em…we're standing just outside the station and we're both in uniform." Will murmured uncomfortably.

"Ahh right." She replied giggling slightly as she pulled back. "So…are we actually going to do any police work today…partner?" Will chuckled as he nudged her forwards, his hand slipping discreetly into hers as they walked along the road, unaware of the eyes watching them from the Station Reception.
