It had been two weeks since Aaron found out that Emily was investigating him. They had yet to talk about it or at all unless it was 10 second small conversations about work. The thing Emily knew Is the fact she was still hopelessly in love with him. she knew that she could not keep going on not talking to him even if what they had was gone. sHe knew he wasn't busy at the moment so he decided to go and try to patch things up.

"Hey," she said knocking on the door. he looked up at her and gave the same look he gave every time one of sadness and she couldn't really tell what else

"Hey what can I do for you Emily," he said looking back down at the pile of papers in front of him. Ok, this was going to be harder than she thought.

"We need to talk to Aaron about what happened," she said walking into his office.

"What how the person I lo- was going to go on a date with was investigating me for treason. What is there to say," he said standing up and walking past her to grab a file. Did he really almost say, love? Emily didn't know if she was hearing things but it sounded like he almost let it slip that he loved her.

"I don't know what to say except I'm sorry,'' Emily said, looking at her feet with her back still toward him.

"Did you know about it when I kissed you the night before or asked you on the date," he asked, just frozen at his bookshelf.

"No, I didn't find out about it until right after," she said biting her lip.

"Is that all you wanted," Aaron said slipping past her again and sitting down

"You never gonna look at me the same way are you," she asked trying to hide the tears forming in her eyes

"Emily you don't get it. I want nothing more than to be able to look at you the way I used to but you don't look at me the way used to either it's going to always go through your head is he actually a trader"

"You don't think I actually wanted any of this do you cause if you do then you don't get it. " Emily said raising her voice hoping he couldn't hear it cracking

"You don't get what it feels like to be investigated by someone you are in love with and even after all of that still want nothing more than be with them " Aaron yelled causing her to take a deep breath and her eyes go wide "I don't open up easy Emily and I opened up to you and I don't know what to do because I want to be able to look at you and you know that I love you more than anyone but"

"You can't look at me like that anymore" Emily finished

"I never said that." He said standing up "I don't think I'll ever look at you again and not be in love with you," he said reaching her. "But I don't think you will ever look at you the same way," he said, pushing a piece of her hair behind her ear before whipping one of the tears that fell From eyes. "I forgave you right away.." he said before Emily could not contain her sec anymore and pushed herself up on her tiptoes and kissed him. After the shock at first, he wrapped his arms around her waist pulling her close. Her arms wrapped around his neck and finger running through the curls at the base of his neck.

Things escalated fast as he picked her up the second they reached his appointment pushing her against the door gripping her thighs. Her fingers framed his face before they slid to the back of his neck."I love you." she mumbled against his lips.

"I love you too," he mumbled back before slowly loving toward his bedroom

Emily was lying on Aaron's chest while he played with a piece of her hair. "I really am sorry Aaron," she said

"I know," he said before pressing his lips to her hair
