Chapter 28

This is carrying on directly from where we left off :) enjoy... I'm sure you will

"Nothing's ever the same without me" she smirked as Joey slinked his arms around her waist. Lauren giggled as one hand cheekily slipped and swatted her bum. "Oi cheeky, we're meant to be working"

"Yep working up a sweat" his lips curved into a sexy smile, that only Lauren had ever had the pleasure of knowing. That smile did many a thing to a girl, things that couldn't really be fixed in an office.

"hmm.. I love it when you talk romantic to me" she replied sarcastically. A small gasp emitted her lips as joeys hands found the top of her thighs and effortlessly lifted her of the floor. Laurens legs automatically wrapped around him locking in place at her ankles. It wasn't the most of attractive of positions, or comfortable for that matter as Laurens choice of outfit that day had been rather restricting.

"Hmm really well in that case… I'd like to go back to my office with my beautiful girlfriend and makes sure she's ok because I know she's not as strong as she likes to make out she is" Lauren smiled weakly, her breath hitching slightly as joey's fingers grazed the side of her cheek, pushing her hair behind her ear. "Is that ok ?"

She nodded, slowly letting her body slip back to the floor. She took her position under Joeys arm for a second before reluctantly pulling away to walk back to their office on the 3rd floor. They walked in a soft silence back to their floor, the silence was slightly unnerving, Joey knew how hard the day had been from the word go. She hadn't wanted to leave harry for starters and then she was literally abandoned as soon as they were in the office, Joey had wanted to be with her on her first day back. Then she'd had to encounter Luke and Lucy. Luke; he'd seen her deal with but, he dreaded to see what had gone on between her and Lucy. Something had gone on because Lauren was in "Bitch" mode as Joey called it.

They were nearly back to the office when Joey saw her begin to shake, it started in her shoulders and slowly went down until her whole body was virtually quivering. The two of them got strange looks as they reached their corridor.

"Mr Branning?" Helens whining voice and clip clop heels came from the distance.

Joey rolled his eyes and sighed. Giving Lauren a gentle nudge he whispered for her to go it the office. "What is it Helen ?" he said a little impatiently, this girl had serious bad timing issues. Helens head tilted to the side and looked at Lauren.

"Is she ok?"

"She's a little upset that's all… what was it you wanted?" he was desperately trying to move this conversation on so he could go and comfort Lauren.

"Greenfields are on hold for you" she said frowning, still looking into the office at Lauren. Her voice was a little distracted as her eyes took in Laurens appearance, well what she could see of it anyway. Lauren was sitting in Joey's chair looking at his computer screen quite vacantly.

"Well tell them I'm busy and that they can leave a message" he stated

"But Mr Branning they are very…"

"They can wait, I have more important things to be doing" He turned as Helen gave a curt nod and walked back into the office, only pausing slightly by the door to inform Helen he and Lauren were not to be disturbed for the next hour, as they had important business to attend to. The important business being Joey's need to make his girlfriend feel loved, not that he told Helen that. She quickly scurried off down the corridor.

Joey walked into the office shutting the door behind him and then proceeding to lock it. He quickly worked at drawing the blinds, so they wouldn't be seen. Their floor was never really busy anyway. Lauren was still staring at his computer screen, she was still quite but she wasn't crying anymore.

Her fingers reached out and gently ran across the screen, Joey smiling at her action. He walked around the desk and lay his hands on her shoulders, starting to massage away the tension. Laurens head leaned back against his chest, the action receiving a tender kiss on her forehead. "I love that picture" she whispered, looking back at the screen. "H Looks so happy on it" she smiled "That was about the second time he smiled wasn't it?"

Joey nodded "Ye, It's my favorite picture, your smiling for starters we look perfect"

"hmm, it's possible to have a little bit of perfection every now and then…I still can't believe you have is your computer screen though." His hands stopped working at her shoulders for a second and he could help but smirk when Laure groaned in disappointment.

"Why? You two are my family, why wouldn't I have the two most important people in my life on my screen?"

"What if someone sees it?" she swiveled the chair round to face him, Her face flushing a little as Joey crotch was right in her face. Her eyes trailed up his body as she swallowed deeply.

"Like what you see baby?" Joey laughed and crouched down in front of her so they were face to face. "No one will see it baby, but if they do… I'll tell them that it's a picture of my family, my beautiful girlfriend and our gorgeous son." Lauren went quite, obviously thinking over what Joey had just said. "You ok?"

"Ye…could really use a hug though" she asked softly

"As you wish" He pulled her up from the chair and into his arms, holding her tightly against him. Lauren breathed in his scent and hummed with satisfaction. "We've not been able to do this in a long time"

Lauren smiled against him, they really hadn't anytime they had got close they would be called away by their son needing their attention. "It really has…and I'm actually clean for once, no formula or baby sick on me"

"You're never clean baby" he smirked leaning down to kiss her, the kisses gradually worked their way from her temple until they were tickling her neck and collar bone.

"Hmm, Joe… Joey… Joey! we should stop. We're in the office" she said, well at least that's what words came out, her body was telling her something completely different…and so was Joey's. Joey ignored her request and pulled her blouse from her skirt, all the time not breaking the contact with her lips. The kissed deepened increasing the intensity "joey…" she reluctantly pulled away.

"I've locked the door, blinds are closed, we're only kissing…" he raised his eyebrow

"And kissing is how it starts, and…" her fingers began to tug his tie from around his neck and work on the buttons on his crisp white shirt. "How olds Harry Joe?"

His face scrunched up in confusion, she knew how old he was "nearly 6 weeks, babe how is that even relevant?"

"Because" she dragged out the word as slow as possible, her hands pulling his shirt of his shoulders in sync with her words. "Your allowed…you know, six weeks after giving birth" she bit her lip and Saw the slight surprised look on her boyfriend's face. "and I'm kind of feeling a little hot after you dealt with Luke…"

"Babe…like wow." His hands gripped to her hips and teased her top up her body, his eyes greedily taking in her slender frame, he still couldn't believe she'd been growing baby in there only six weeks beforehand. "Are sure it's safe ? I won't hurt you or anything?"

Lauren shook her head "I'll tell you if it hurts…how long do we have?" her arms liked around Joey's neck. She giggled as her lifted her up and placed her on his desk. A pile of papers flew to the floor as well as a pot of pens, but she really couldn't care in that moment.

"about an hour… which is not long enough…" he whispered, then went back to kissing her. Joey's shoes and socks were the next thing to go, closely followed by his trousers. Lauren had made quick work of getting him down to his boxers.

"Oh god…" she groaned, Joey immediately pulled away thinking he'd hurt her, but he was quickly reassured by her next movement. Her fingers splayed across his abs, that were still as defined as when they'd first met. "I have so missed these"

"And I've missed these" Joey smiled as her swiftly lay her back against the wood of the desk and started kissing across her bust. Unfortunately time was of the essence and they didn't have much time to do things as slow as they probably would have liked. The desk wasn't exactly the most comfortable of places either, but, they needed this and they knew they did.

Laurens skirt was soon bunched up at her waist her tights and knickers having been seductively removed seconds earlier. Their kissed were way more than PG now, well the entire situation was more than a PG situation, they were having sex (well about to) on a desk in a busy office. "I've missed you" Joey smiled as he hovered above her. Lauren leaned up and kissed him her heel cheekily removing his boxers. Joey looked down "Nice work Mrs. Branning…"

She paused and frowned "Mrs.? Don't get ahead of yourself Branning…"

"Just a slip of the tongue…" he said expecting her want a bigger more reasonable explanation, and he couldn't give her one, he didn't know himself. It really was a slip of the tongue.

"I know where I'd like you to slip your tongue" she purred

"Lauren!"

"What? You're like inches away from fucking me and It's been a really long time… I need you now!" she pulled him towards her. Joey just shook his head at her and positioned himself.

"I've corrupted that innocent girl I met in that bar…" he laughed

"That you have…" she breathed out kissing his impeccable chest. Just as Joey was ready she had a thought "Stop!"

"What? It ain't just you that's been waiting for this baby"

"Condom" she said rather smugly "No more babies just yet darling…" Joey dropped to the side of her pulling his boxers up. "Am I going to have to go to the ladies and be slutty and use the machine in there ? " Lauren groaned, but she didn't get a response. "Joey ?" she could hear things cluttering around towards the other end of the room. He then strolled back over to her holding the foil square between his fingers. "Nice one baby…do just keep them in here?" she laughed ads he got himself and the protection sorted.

Joey repositioned and gently eased into her, a groan coming from them both. "No…always envisaged making love to you right here." He smiled beginning to set a rhythm that was teasingly slow. "You still ok?"

"Hmmm… feels so good" her legs wound around his waist pulling him closer as he increased speed.

"Your so, so beautiful Lauren… I love you so much." Lauren started to breath deeper beneath him, her body reacting to him hit the perfect spot each time.

"I love you too… oh god Joey, Kiss me!" she requested, and it was gratefully met. Joey pulled them into a different position, feeling them both close to the edge. With a couple of shuffles, Joey was now sitting on the desk, Lauren moving up and down on him. Her speed was much more upbeat, let's say, than Joeys. Their movement continued, sparks flying as the two off them feel over the edge, harder than ever before.

Breathing ragged, Lauren sagged against Joeys chest her fore head touching his. "Lo…"

"Ye…" she replied moments later still a little breathless.

"Marry me?" he rubbed his nose against her in a soft eskemo kiss.

"What?" she said her voice quiet and high pitched. " Did you just ask me to Marry you?" Joey nodded a confident look on his face.

"This isn't exactly how I planned it… I don't think I even planned it at all, but I've thought about it a lot… ever since the day you gave me my son, I wanted to marry you." She shifted slightly forgetting momentarily he was still in her. "So will you?"

She bit her lip and nodded quickly, tears falling from her eyes "yes"
