Ch. 10 You did WHAT!
A/N See Ch. 1
The alarm clock chirped at 6:30 that morning bringing the occupants of the bed to life. Billie reached over and slammed the clock off. Van just looked. "Whoa, are you always that mean to inanimate objects or is this a first?" He joked. "Keep it up and you'll see." She jokingly growled. Van rolled her over to face him. "Good morning." He said as he placed a soft kiss on her lips. "Good morning." She muttered back as she snuggled against his bare chest and pulled the quilt up just a little higher. Van snuggled down with her and just held her, playing with her hair for a few minutes. "We really need to get ready or we'll be late. And you know Deaq will bug the hell out of us until we tell him what happened." Van said, trying to convince himself more than her that it was time to get up. "Can't I just claim a mental health day? You can stay too. After yesterday, I really shouldn't be alone." She was flirting now, tickling her fingers along his chest. "But what about Deaq? He'll be curious." Van said, trying desperately to concentrate on what he was saying instead of where her hand was wandering. "Shoot him. Curiosity killed the cat after all." She said as she leaned in for a deep kiss.
Three hours later the pair still lay in the bed heaving, trying to catch their breath. "Wow. That was amazing! Where did you learn to do that?" Van panted running his fingers through her sweat slicked hair. "It's a talent." She grinned rolling off him and on her back. "I'll say!" Van agreed with a laugh. He looked over to his right to look at her when he caught a glimpse of the alarm clock. "Oh shit!" He said as he shot up in the bed, yanking his arm from under her shoulders. "What?" Billie replied dazed as she sat up. "It's 9:30! We're so late." Van stated as he jumped out of her bed and picked up a pair of black jeans to put on. It was a good thing he always kept extra clothes in his car. "Great. We're gonna get the third degree now." Billie muttered as she jumped up and headed to the shower.
Deaq sat in Billie's office and looked at his watch again. It was 10:00 and neither of them was in the office yet. "This can't be good." He muttered to himself. Just as he was contemplating what could have happened at the tracks after Van shooed him off yesterday, he heard the door open and a set of heels quickly heading in his direction. He looked to see that it was Billie dressed in a red tube top, black cashmere sweater, low rise jeans and black ankle boots. Right behind her was Van. He was dressed in his trade mark way-too-tight black jeans and a blue plaid button down shirt with long sleeves. They had both gotten ready in haste. He could tell. Billie's hair was still damp and put in a haphazard ponytail. Van hadn't even bothered to do more than finger comb his hair. He wasn't even shaved. "Well, I see no one got hit by a train yesterday. Or did you?" He said, the smile ever present on his face. "Har har." Billie mocked. "Why are you in my office? Go do something!" She barked. Deaq headed out of her office, knowing he'd get every tawdry, x-rated detail out of Van if he had to torture him for it. However he didn't think that'd be the case. Van had wanted to get it on with Billie since he first met her. Van headed up towards the theater seats so he could stare down at her and remember last night in peace. No sooner had he sat down than he saw Deaq walking up next to him. "So, what happened?" Deaq asked anticipating the story to come. "I slept with her!" Van said the smile on his face so big it looked like it had been painted on. Deaq was just taking his seat when Van made the revelation. The words hit him so hard, that he missed the seat all together and his ass landed firmly on the floor in front of it, eliciting a hearty laugh from Van. "What are you guys doing up there?" Billie yelled as she made her way from her desk to the fridge in the back. It was high time for her to have a Red Bull. "Nothing dear!" Van hollered back in a purposely patronizing tone. Billie just glared and kept walking. This only served to make Deaq laugh as he got up and sat his butt on his original target. "So, how was it?" He prodded Van for more lurid details. "She's good. She's REAL good!" Van said remembering every detail. "Oh really?" Deaq wanted more detail than that. "Yeah, she's kind of kinky. Who knew that acrobatics could be so much fun! She's double jointed too!" Van exclaimed. Deaq just looked shocked. "What!" he exclaimed in disbelief. "Billie? Billie Chambers! Our boss Billie!" He stammered. "Yeah, did I mention the handcuffs?" Van finished. At this precise moment Billie walked back across the warehouse. Deaq's gaze transfixed on her, his jaw dropped. She stopped and looked up at them for a moment. "What? Don't look at me like that! It's not like no one's ever done it before." She said and shot Van a teasing look.
Deaq quickly headed down to his boss's office. "Hey Billie, I know you are considered our superior at work, but according to ADD boy up there, you're superior in more than one area. Care to share your secret?" Deaq questioned, not bothering to hide the innuendo in his voice. "Deaq, shut up!" She snapped, not entirely serious. "Ooh, is that what you told him last night?" He laughed as Van came in to join the fun. "See what you've started Van? I didn't want to just out and tell him everything." She quipped. "I know. You wanted to just shoot him if he got nosey!" Van laughed as he waited for the words to sink into Deaq's thick skull. "Hey!" Deaq yelled in an offended tone. "Deaq, we still love you. It's just that, well, what you don't know won't hurt you." She said in her usual flippant manner. Van snickered at her response knowing full well where it was going. "Yeah, need to know basis. I remember, Billie." Deaq muttered. "For once she's not saying that to me!" Van laughed.
Well, that's it. I know its short and not much happened. Patient my loyal readers, more will happen!
DKM: I hope this answered the question about Deaq. Yup, the shocking revelations were made! I don't know about you, but I could just see his eyes bugging out of his head and landing on the floor so clearly! Next chapter, its Billie's turn!
