The week that passed after Paul found out about Sophie and Sian had been near to hell for the blonde, a lot of stress adding to her already heavy workload and a legal battle that she really didn't need at the moment.

Paul had tried to pull out of the deal with Sian's company, stating there was too many complications and differences between the two to continue a working relationship with her which resulted in a legal battle between the two companies as Sian tried to get him to stick to the contract. Several late night meetings between the two of them seemed to get them no where. Even when their lawyers were involved it always seemed to end the same way; a huge argument about Sian's infidelity and the fact she could no longer be trusted.

It had only been a week but Sian already felt like she was fighting a losing battle. She knew what she'd done was wrong and regardless of the fact she was trying her best to save the deal for her company, the people in head office were far from supportive of her. The day that Paul had tried to pull out of the deal, Sian had received a strongly worded email that essentially stated if she didn't fix the mess she'd created, then she'd be sacked in a flash.

Needless to say that everything Sian was going through was putting a lot of strain on her relationship with Sophie. They always knew the danger of what they were doing and the repercussions it could have on their careers and lives but they took the risk regardless and now they were both paying the price for it.

After talking to Sian in her office, Sophie had headed straight back over to her building to clear out her desk, Paul taking great pleasure in watching her do so, opening the door to his office so he could lean against the doorframe with a smug expression on his face as she emptied the contents of her desk. Chesney had of course approached Sophie at her desk, making sure his friend was okay and offering his support. Mostly, he was just upset that his best friend would be leaving the building and he'd no longer have someone working alongside him whose company he truly enjoyed. However, he knew how much Sian meant to Sophie and he knew that once she realised the extent of her feelings, there was never any competition between her job and the blonde.

Sophie had taken great pleasure in her exit from the company, deciding there was no reason not to go out with a bang and as she picked up the box of all her belongings and turned to leave, the guy who worked in the cubicle beside her gave her the perfect opportunity to do so. Sophie had watched as he pushed himself back from his desk and poked his head around the side of her cubicle, asking why she was leaving to which Sophie's response was to point at Paul and say as loud as she could 'Because I fucked his girlfriend' before giving Paul the finger and putting on her best strut as she left the office floor, a small cheer erupting from one of the cubicles as she did so. Chesney phoned Sophie that night to inform her that the one guy who'd cheered for her, was packing his desk up five minutes later.

Since that day, as Sian had suggested, Sophie had been working for the blonde as head of coding which was a small promotion from the position she'd had for the small amount of time she'd worked there previously. Sian offered a much bigger work space in a large cubicle further down the office but Sophie had insisted she liked the desk she had outside of Sian's office and she'd rather keep it. Sophie had been keeping busy with her work, ensuring that everything was done as well as possible so there was less work for Sian to check up on. Sophie could see the stress the blonde was under and she couldn't help the deep feeling of guilt that resided in the bit of her stomach at the thought that Sian was going through so much trouble for the sake of their relationship.

It was now a Friday and Sian had for once managed to get out of work at five o clock without having to go through another meeting with lawyers or Paul or a potential client. Sophie drove the pair home from work, both opting to go to Sian's house as neither of them had the energy or the desire to spend time with Rosie that evening. The drive was filled with silence, both just enjoying the fact they were in a stress free atmosphere that didn't require any effort. In all honesty, Sian didn't have the drive to force herself in to a happy conversation when all she could think about was how much trouble she was in and so instead opted to just lay her head back, close her eyes and bask in the fact she wasn't in work for another three days.

Sian felt like she'd only closed her eyes for five seconds when Sophie brought the car to a halt and pulled up the handbrake before nudging the blonde and announcing they were home. Silence fell over the pair once again as they stepped out of the car, Sophie nonchalantly raising her arm over her head so her hand was pointed towards her car clicking the button on her keys to lock the doors as she walked slightly behind Sian towards her house.

As they entered the living room, Sophie threw her car keys in to the key bowl on the table by the door and instantly set about removing her work clothes, kicking off her heels towards the shoe rack and peeling off her blazer before throwing it over the side of the couch.

"Make yourself at home Soph." muttered Sian, trying to sound as if she was joking but Sophie picked up on the coldness that laced her words.

Sophie bent down and picked up her shoes, mumbling an apology as she placed them in the shoe rack before turning and picking up her jacket to place on the coat pegs.

Sophie stepped back in to the living room having hung her jacket up and couldn't help feeling she was now walking on egg shells around Sian and wanted nothing more than to break the current tension that was between the two of them.

"So errm … What should we have for dinner then?" asked Sophie, stepping a little further in to the room and noticing Sian was now stood in the kitchen.

"Whatever." muttered Sian, busying herself with a few dishes that were collected on the draining board and putting them in to the cupboards they belonged in.

Sophie let out a long sigh, running her fingers through her hair as pulled a few stray locks that had fallen over her face, "What's wrong Sian?"

Sian spun around on the spot, an unmistakable fire in her eyes and Sophie couldn't help but feel she'd touched a nerve, "What the fuck do you think is wrong?"

"Well I know what's wrong I jus-"

"No!" interrupted Sian, her voice a little louder than expected causing the brunette to flinch slightly, "You have no fucking idea what is wrong. You've still got a job, you've still got everything and what the fuck have I got? I'm stressed so much I can hardly stand it. I'm getting calls from lawyers every second of the day trying to sort out this horrendous mess with Paul, I could lose my job any day now, I have tonnes of paperwork to get through. Seriously, what have I got?"

"You've got me." said Sophie, the definite sound of hurt and defeat in her voice as she spoke.

Sian bowed her head, feeling a small amount of guilt replace the anger inside of her, "I know Soph … But it's just hard at the minute okay? This is … a fucking nightmare."

Sophie paused for a second, weighing up her options before she asked the question that was playing on her mind. Do I really want to hear the answer?

"Do you regret it?" the words left her lips before she even had a chance to stop them.

Sian blinked a few times, unsure of what she should make of Sophie's question. "Of course I don't."

"Could of fooled me." muttered Sophie under her breath. She had thought she'd said it quiet enough for the blonde not to hear but as she lifted her gaze to meet Sian's, the look in her eyes suggested otherwise.

"Excuse me for feeling a little bit dejected because my whole career is falling apart around me. I love my job Sophie and I'm about to lose it all the way things are going." shot back Sian.

"Well I'm sorry Sian but this isn't my fault! I feel like you've been punishing me all week for it!" protested Sophie, suddenly doubting herself for actually diving in to the conversation she'd been so eager to avoid having all week.

"Will you stop playing the victim Sophie?" burst out Sian, feeling the guilt she'd had mere moments ago quickly fade.

"Will I stop playing the victim? Oh please … I've been trying to be positive all week with you! You've done nothing but complain and mope around the whole time!" shot back Sophie, her anger beginning the match that of the woman stood in front of her.

"I COULD LOSE MY FUCKING JOB SOPHIE!" shouted Sian, suddenly letting her temper get the better of her.

Sophie flinched slightly at the way Sian had spoken to her but it only served to anger the brunette even more, "AND I LOST MINE! Yeah maybe I have something else for now but I lost my job as well!"

"And there you go again, having to make it about you." grumbled Sian, folding her arms across her chest.

Sophie threw her hands out in front of her, her fingers curled slightly as she let out a loud groan of frustration, "Making it about me? So I can't make one frigging comment? You act like the fucking world is ending all week and I complain once about losing my job and I'm making it about me? Do you have any idea how fucking infuriating you are?"

"Oh I'm infuriating am I? What are you gonna do? Hit me again Sophie?" blurted out Sian, Sophie instantly freezing, her mouth slightly agape as Sian's words hit her.

"I can't believe you just said that." stated Sophie, her eyes slightly wider than usual, completely taken aback by what the blonde had just said to her.

Sian cocked her head to the side, the anger still very much evident on her face. Not so much because of Sophie but merely the accumulation of everything she'd had to deal with throughout the week was finally taking its toll and was now exploding out of her. "Oh really? Because last time you got pissed off at me it happened s-"

"And I promised you it would never happen again!" interrupted Sophie. "Are you just trying to see how far you can push me?"

"Angry are you Soph?" asked Sian in her most condescending tone as she leant back against the kitchen counter, studying Sophie with mild amusement, "Am I pushing you a little too far?"

"Stop it Sian, what's this solving?"

"Oh come on Sophie. We both know you're just bursting with things you wanna say to me." teased Sian, "How I have no right to have a go at you, how this is so uncalled for, how all of this is my fault. H-"

"IT IS ALL YOUR FAULT!" blurted out Sophie, unable contain herself any longer as Sian's open mocking got the better of her, "You were the one who pushed this! I told you this would end badly for the pair of us and you just wouldn't let it go!"

"And the truth comes out." stated Sian coldly, a small satisfied smirk on her face at the fact she'd managed to get Sophie to snap. "I knew you blamed me for this."

Sophie rubbed her forehead, trying to regain some of her previous calm composure before speaking, "I don't blame just you for this Sian. It was both of us."

"That's not what you just said."

"It just came out!" insisted Sophie, feeling herself losing control of the situation again and taking a deep breath, "I didn't mean it okay? It took two of us to do what happened I just … Jesus it's so frustrating. Why did you even tell him the truth if you were gonna end up hating me for it?"

Sian raised an eyebrow and looked back at the brunette incredulously, "You say that like I had a choice. I couldn't exactly deny it when he walked in could I?"

"You didn't have to tell him everything though." stated Sophie, "So why did you?"

"I guess it was a moment of madness on my part." shot back Sian.

Sophie shook her head, looking back at Sian with a look that showed a small amount of disgust and hurt, "Thanks Sian. It's nice to know that rather than tell the truth, you wished you'd lied and you were still with the guy you fucked for a job. Nice."

"I knew you were still pissed about that!" shot back Sian, "Knew that you meant all those things you said to me in my office. That I only wanted a bit of attention and how you were stupid to think I was capable of feelings."

"Well it looks that way doesn't it Sian?" spat Sophie, "You were all for me and you when it was exciting and had to be kept a secret, but the second we actually get a chance to be a real couple you go in a fucking strop and want nothing to do with me."

Sian shook her head and laughed coldly, "Here we go again. Sian's nothing but a slut who just sleeps around. Why the fuck are you even with me if you think that Sophie?"

"Will you change the record? The only one here who's ever called you a slut is you!"

"Yeah well, maybe it's about time you realised and stopped trying to turn me in to your perfect girlfriend and just accept that I'm not gonna change, and I am just a slut and that's exactly how you should treat me." stated Sian, shooting Sophie a final glare before turning her back on her and diverting her attention to the dishes she'd earlier occupied herself with.

Sophie paused for a moment, letting the blonde's words hit her as she watched her turn around and busy herself with the plates and mugs that littered the kitchen counter. Unsure of what to do, Sophie ignored the voice in her head that was telling her to reason with Sian, talk things through and make it better and instead she let her body take control and took a few steps forward, placing her hands on the kitchen worktop so they were either side of Sian, their bodies pressed together.

Sian placed the mug in her hand back down and let out a long shaky breath, the feeling of Sophie's body against her own instantly sending a shock of electricity through her. "What are you doing?"

Sophie leaned a little closer, her body now pressed right up against Sian's as she removed one of her hands from the worktop and resting it on the blonde's waist, slowly running it down her body. Sophie wasn't entirely sure what was happening or what had gotten in to her but there was no denying that an angry Sian was definitely a turn on and right now, in the middle of a fight, all she wanted was to feel close to her.

"What you told me to do." stated Sophie simply as her hand continued it's venture down Sian's body, over her perfect curves, down her hip and along the top of her thigh, not stopping until it reached the bottom of the blonde's skirt, Sophie's fingertips delicately brushing over the bare skin of her leg.

Sophie felt Sian's breathing increase, against her body, the blonde's hands pressed firmly against the kitchen worktop, almost as if it were for support.

Sophie's fingertips continued to trace over Sian's skin, dipping underneath the hem of her skirt and beginning an ascent up the back of her thigh, the brunette barely applying any pressure to Sian's body, her fingers almost acting as a ghost as they ran up her leg. Sian's breathing hitched as Sophie's hand reached the top of her thigh and she felt her heart start pound unusually fast in her chest as the brunette curled her fingers around the side of the back of her underwear, her body pressing against Sian's with slightly more force as her hand slipped past the material from behind.

Sophie couldn't stifle the small gasp that escaped her lips as her fingertips first made contact with Sian's centre, feeling the abundant amount of moisture that had already gathered there.

Sian let out a small moan, raising her arm above her head before bending it behind her and wrapping it around Sophie, her fingertips gripping tightly at the brunette's neck in an effort to keep her close.

Sophie trailed her finger over the length of Sian's wetness, the blonde tightening her grip on her at the contact, her breathing becoming more ragged and erratic with every second that passed.

An eager moan escaped Sian's lips as Sophie briefly dipped her finger in to her folds , brushing it lightly over the blonde's clit. Sian bucked her hips involuntarily, desperate for more contact and Sophie felt her lips turn up in to a small smirk at the fact she had so much control.

Sophie repeated her actions, this time applying slightly more pressure to Sian who let out a slightly louder moan this time, pressing herself in to Sophie's hand in a desperate bid for more.

Sophie slowly ran her finger backwards, feeling Sian's body shake slightly against her, the anticipation building as she got closer to her destination.

"Please Soph." begged Sian, the words leaving her lips before the even had a chance to stop them, her burning desire for the brunette behind her getting the better of her.

Sophie's smirk grew in size at the blonde's words enjoying the moment for just a second before plunging two fingers inside of her eliciting a loud moan to escape Sian's lips. Sophie's own arousal increased dramatically as she felt how wet Sian had become throughout the last few moments and the way she could slip inside of her with such ease.

Sian's fingers became tangled in the brunette's hair, occasionally gripping a little tighter as Sophie began to build up a rhythm with one hand, her other gripping on to Sian's hip, holding her firmly in place between the counter and her own body.

Sophie leant her head forward, attaching her lips to the exposed side of Sian's neck and placing a series of kisses across it, occasionally nipping the skin in between her teeth causing the blonde to let out a small gasp or moan.

Sophie began to move her hand from Sian's hip, sliding it around her body to the front of her skirt, lifting it quickly before dipping it below the waistband of her underwear.

"Holy shit!" Sian threw her head back against Sophie's chest as she felt the brunette's finger come in contact with her clit, sending her body in to an overdrive of pleasure.

The moans and curses that started to slip from Sian's lips were only encouraging Sophie further, ignoring the slight ache in her wrist as she continued to pump her fingers inside of the blonde, her pace increasing slightly as she felt the blonde getting closer with each second that passed.

"Fuck Soph … please make me come." groaned Sian, grinding her body against Sophie's hand as it continued it's pace inside of her.

Sophie attached her lips the Sian's neck again, sucking hard on her pulse point, no longer concerned about leaving a mark as she curled her fingers inside of Sian, hearing a large moan escape her as she slammed her hand down against the counter, desperate for something to grip on to for support as she felt herself about to tip over the edge.

Sophie curled her fingers a final time, feeling Sian's body shudder slightly against her, releasing a loud moan as pleasure ripped through her body and her orgasm hit, her fingers still tightly wrapped around the back of Sophie's neck as the brunette continued her hand movements, allowing Sian to ride out her orgasm.

Sian let out a long breath, trying to calm herself down as she felt Sophie, remove her hands and flatten down her skirt, moving them to rest on her waist, keeping the closeness between the two of them as their breathing returned to normal, the brunette delicately placing kisses along Sian's neck.

"I'm sorry for being horrible to you." whispered Sian.

Sophie rested her forehead on Sian's shoulder, taking a deep breath, "I'm sorry too. I know you're having a shit time lately."

A small smile traced it's way over Sian's lips and she stroked the back of Sophie's neck delicately with her fingertips, "It's not your fault though babe. I'm glad I have you."

"There's just one thing left to sort." muttered Sophie, not lifting her head from Sian's shoulder.

"What?" asked Sian, continuing to play with the small hairs on the back of Sophie's neck.

"What are we gonna have for dinner?" mumbled Sophie, both girls pausing for a second before a fit of giggles washed over them.
