I'm so sorry for being like two weeks late in this update, but like I said, I had exams and then we had half term when I visited my cousin and her kids, when I got back my hairdresser came over to test run my hair for prom and then I went to a dance competition (I wasn't dancing I was just stage crew) where we won best stage crew! Woo!

Anyway, unfortunately, I don't think my updates are going to be as regular as they have been for the next couple of weeks, but I will try my hardest!

Thanks so much for the review son the last chapter. Here's the next and I hope you enjoy it!

Disclaimer: Do no own skins.

I bite my lip as I watch the last worker clean my new plaque and slide it into the slot on my door. He polishes it then spins round. I nod softly at him and he smiles before leaving with his co-workers. I slowly step forward and gently run my fingers over the new plaque. My finger follows the trail of the lettering, starting at the 'E', then onto the 'm' trailing along the path to the adjoining 'i' following the curve of the loop de loop up the 'l' and then ghosting above the 'y'.

I grin widely and step back.

'Emily Fitch

CEO and Co-Owner'

It reads in gold engraved letters against the black background.

"Feels good doesn't it?" I turn my head to the right and smile at Effy who's also admiring her new plaque.

"Yeah" I breath out. She glides over to me and places her hand gently on the small of my back.

"Let's see your new office"

Almost like it was in slow motion, Effy opens my new office door, revealing a modern fantasy. Black linoleum flooring sits beneath our feet, guiding us to the black sleek desk with a apple computer, two lamps and a spinny chair. I love those so much!

In front of the desk is a black leather chair, aimed at an angle towards the white book shelf which holds my folders, cd's, stereo and of course books and little knick knacks. The windows from the office shine into the room, brining a lot of natural light and making it look wonderful. On the walls are the sketches and computer designs of past toys I and my old team had created.

I walk in, taking everything in, a gasp leaving my lips. My eyes spot a basketball hoop bin the corner of my room with a score board above it, making me laugh and run in. I drop onto my chair and immediately kick my feet against the desk, making me rolls backwards quickly. I spin round, smiling hugely and roll over to Effy.

"I love it!" I exclaim rolling back over to my desk. I pull out one of my desk draws and take out some paper. I place my glasses onto my face and stand up with the papers in my hand.

"Mrs Stonem, please, take a seat" I say formerly and motioning to the seat across from me. Effy chuckles and moves to the seat, plopping herself down onto the seat.

I laugh and sit back down, taking my glasses off I kick back and lean my feet onto my desk.

"You've been dying to say that having you"

I nod happily "For so long, and this" I spin myself round so I'm facing the windows then spin myself back, pretending to stroke a cat.

"I've been expecting you" I say, trying to do my best Dr Evil impersonation.

Effy shakes her head, smiling at me "You're such a nerd"

I laugh "I'm a loveable nerd".

"I wouldn't be so sure about that Emilio" We both look towards the door, seeing Cook leaning against the frame with a smirk on his face.

"Is there anything I can help with Mr Cook?" I ask, leaning back in my chair.

He laughs and walks in "Snazzy office Emilio. I like it. So, who's going to be taking over your job and be my new boss?"

I pick up the small ball on my table and chuck it to Cook, opening my hand for him to throw it back "I'm still your boss Cook, the difference now is that I can fire you" I catch the ball and smile at Cook's expression.

I throw the ball to Effy "She won't Cook. Today we'll be holding interviews for Emily's old job" Effy says, chucking it to Cook.

He stops the ball and plays around with it in his hands "Is she going to be hot?" he asks, rolling the ball between his palms.

I shrug "Who knows, she might be, but she also might be an eighty year old woman who's skirt is constantly sucked into her arse crack and a runny nose." Cook grimaces and throws the ball to me.

"It might even be a guy. A hot guy" Both Cook and I scoff at Effy's comment.

"Don't worry Cook, I'll make sure they're to our liking" I wink at him and toss the ball to Effy who throws it back to Cook.

"So blonde, blue eyed and big tits?" She says.

"Who's blonde, blue eyed and has big tits?" I crane my neck to look behind Cook, seeing a certain blue eyed blonde beauty waiting outside my door.

"You babe" Cook says, I roll my eyes at him and motion for Naomi to walk in.

"We're discussing what we think the person to take Emily's job will look like" Effy says, waiting for the ball that is clasped in my hands.

I don't throw it to her but squeeze it as I watch Naomi's reaction. "I told Cook I'll make sure she's to our liking" I say, still watching Naomi. She freezes slightly, her gaze moving to me and staying locked on me. I smirk at her and toss the ball to Effy.

"So I said blue eyed, blonde haired and big tits" Effy says, throwing the ball to Cook.

Naomi's gaze stays on me, her eyes darkening slightly. My smirk grows as I can practically see the fantasies she's having in her mind right now. I wink and catch the ball Cook throws at me.

"What would you like them to look like babe?" Cook asks, causing Naomi to peel her gaze away from our eye sexing.

"Sorry?" she says, obviously not hearing what he said.

"What do you want them to look like?" He asks again.

I starts to throw the ball up and down, watching the conversation in amusement.

"How do you mean?"

"Like hair colour" Effy says.

"Red" Naomi says immediately. Effy throws me a look "Or maybe brunette I guess?"

"Eye colour?"

"Brown" she says just as quick as the last. I share a look at Effy, warning her to stop whatever plan she has in her mind.

"Male or Female?"

Naomi opens and closes her mouth, looking at Cook who's giving her challenging look, obviously catching what Effy was doing.

I toss the ball near the door, causing everyone to jump "It doesn't matter. What matters is if they are good at the job" I say, watching as Naomi's posture relaxes. I spot that Cook is still looking at Naomi with suspicion.

Effy nods "Yeah"

"Now will you two please leave my office? Effy and I have business to attend to" I say, getting up and smoothing down my skirt.

They both nod and leave my office, shutting the door behind them. I turn and glare at Effy, placing my glasses onto my face.

"What was that!" I ask, keeping my voice down.

Effy puts her hands up in surrender "Whoa, hold up on the crazy Ems"

"Hold up on the-" I slam my hand down on the table "Hold up on the crazy! Why the fuck did you just do that? Cook's going to hate me! Do you want to break them up or something?" I scream.

Effy walks round the table and places a calming hand on my shoulder "Firstly Cook is not going to hate you. Secondly, yes that was my aim to break them up."

"Why?"

"Because you are breaking apart seeing them together"

I shake my head "I don't need your help Effy. I told Naomi I was going to fight for her, show her how much I love. You doing that stunt does not show it!"

"Ems, calm own okay? It'll be fine, I'm sure Cook doesn't even care"

I grab a couple of folders needed for the interviews "I bloody well hope so"

I sigh and take my glasses off. I rub my temples and shut my eyes tightly. We've been through so many people today and not one of them has what we're looking for. It's frustrating, isn't there one person who can do what we're asking?

Effy walks back in after showing the last person out. She sighs and sits down next to me again.

"Eff this is a disaster. Everyone we've interviewed so far don't have what we need" I say, looking through the piles of paper we have.

"I know. This is bad. Ems, I really believe we won't be able to find someone who can step up to the pedestal you left them. You've raised the bar too high and now, each of them keep crashing into it, none able to clearly jump above it."

I stare at Effy in shock "Why the fuck are you using metaphors? You never use metaphors!" I say, taking a sip from my coffee.

Effy groans and places her hands over her face "I don't know!"

A knock breaks us away from our mumbling, we look to the door, seeing a shadow behind the frosted glass.

"Do we have another?" I ask, looking through my papers.

Effy shrugs "I don't know" she straightens her posture up "Come in!"

I hear the door open as I continue to rifle through my papers, tossing aside the people we've already interviewed.

"Hello Miss Stonem and Miss Fitch, I'm here for the Art and Design manager job, my name's Luce James"

My head flies up at the voice and name, I settle my eyes on a familiar face. A smile pulls against my lips as I recognise the girl before me.

"Emily?" She asks, raising an eyebrow at me.

I stand up "Luce, hi. How are you?" I ask, holding my hand out for her to shake. She does so and also shakes Effy's.

"I'm good thank you, yourself?"

"Been better" I shrug and sit myself back down, gesturing for her to take a seat.

"How's things going with Naomi? Win her back yet?"

I laugh and shake my head "No, this one here" I move my head to gesture to Effy "Could have messed it up for me"

"Not that this isn't interesting but could we possibly get on with the interview?" Effy asks.

"Oh right yes" I say, finding Luce's CV. I place it between Effy and I delving straight into the interview.

As we ask her questions, Effy and I both realise how good Luce may be. Every question we've asked she has answered perfectly and professionally. She's managed before and got quite high up until the company went bankrupt, she did a degree in art and managing as well as graphic design. Her stuff is really good, she's already got ideas for new products which she showed us. They're amazing.

"Thank you Luce, we'll be in contact with you at the end of the week" Effy says as she lets Luce out.

Once the door is shut I scoff loudly "End of the week? Eff, we should call her now! She's been the strongest person we have interviewed today. Her work is great, her ideas are amazing, she's a good leader...We need her" I say, packing up my things.

Effy grabs her own stuff "We need to inform the others first that they didn't get the job"

I walk to the door and hold it open for her. Once she's walked out, I follow and shut it behind me, walking towards our offices "We can get Panda to do that tomorrow, we need to ring Luce now"

"You seem to feel pretty strongly about picking Luce, any other reason as to why?" she asks smirking and raising an eyebrow.

I shake my head "Eff I love Naomi, I'm not going to go after Luce. I've told her about Naomi anyway, Luce is just...and acquaintance. She listened to me and gave me some advice when we went to the bar last week."

She goes to reply, but an argument further down the hall grabs out attention.

"It was just a joke Cook! Effy didn't mean any of it!" We both look at each other and scurry down, spotting Naomi and Cook having an argument right in the middle of the floor.

"But you did!" Cook shouts back.

"No I didn't Cook! Effy asked me a few questions and I answered, just because I said red hair and brown eyes does not mean I wish to be with Emily! I didn't even say if I wanted them to be male or female!" Naomi argues.

I bite my lip as I watch them fight back and forth. Cook's vain in his neck is poking out he's screaming so hard whereas Naomi just looks sexy. Her hair is tasselled, her blouse buttons are undone and her lip stick is smudged. I raise my eyebrows in surprise and look to Effy, spotting that she has also noticed this.

"That's because Emily stopped before you could answer!" He shouts.

"Why are you so angry about it! I am not hung up on Emily!"

"Then why did you moan her name a moment ago in my office!"

Naomi freezes as does Effy and I. I look to Effy and see she has the biggest smirk on her face, her eyes twinkling in delight. I nudge her angrily, although secretly pleased that Naomi thought of me whilst making out with Cook.

"Fix this" I whisper harshly to Effy. She rolls her eyes at me and starts to walk towards the arguing couple

"I didn't moan her name Cook!"

"Trust me babe, I've been with enough girls to know what a moan is and that was definitely a moan" Cook says, pointing to his office.

Naomi rolls her eyes "I can't believe you are so worked up over nothing!"

Cook's eyes bulge out of his head "Nothing? Moaning someone else's name whilst with your boyfriend is not nothing, especially if it's your EX-GIRLFRIEND!"

"ENOUGH!" Effy shouts, causing everyone, including me to jump "Save it for your homes, work is not the place to show off your relationship troubles!" She says sternly.

Cook seethes as he looks at Naomi "I'll see you at the apartment" he growls, storming out of the building.

We both look to Naomi who avoids our gaze before spinning on her heel and walking back into her own office.

"That is not what I meant by fix it Effy" I snap before storming away into my own office.

I turn off my light and close the office door. Effy left an hour ago as did everyone else but I stayed behind to mess about in my office a bit more. Okay, so I played a game of Bin Ball for an hour, but come on, it's fun!

I run my hand through my hair and start to walk down the hall, smiling softly at a few of the cleaners as I pass them. A light shines into the hallway from an open office. I roll my eyes, some twat must've left the light on again.

Stopping by the door, I falter when I spot who's still in there. Typing away at the computer with a pencil tucked between her lips is Naomi. Her eyes are drooping softly as she stares at the screen, moving numbers around and bringing up a running list.

"Naomi?" I softly call out.

She stops what she's doing and looks to me in the doorway, she removes the pencil from her mouth and gently bites her lip "Hi" she says timidly.

I lean against her doorframe "What are you still doing here? It's eleven in the evening"

She rubs at her eye, a small yawn escaping her "Honestly?" I nod "I just don't want to go back to Cook yet"

I rub at my neck "Is this because of earlier?"

She nods and spins round in her chair, elegantly jumping off it and going to put a folder away, grabbing out another then sitting back down.

"I don't really want to face him yet"

"So you're trying to slow it down by working yourself to death?" I say, walking into her office.

Her eyes flicker from me to her screen again as her fingers rapidly tap at the keyboard "I guess so"

She gets up again and replaces the folder, bringing out another. She goes to open it, but I gently place my hand on top "Come on, let me drive you home"

Naomi stares down at my hand before gently pulling the folder out from under it and placing it on top, flipping it open "No, I need to get this done"

"No, you don't" I grab the folder and chuck it behind me. She stands up and goes to grab it by I stand in her way. She goes to move around me but I copy her movement, blocking her way. We continue to do it for a while.

"Emily! Will you please move so I can get the folder"

"No"

She rolls her eyes "Why do you have to be so annoying?"

I raise my eyebrow at her "So I'm annoying because I care for my employees health? Naomi, you can't work all night, I'm driving you home"

"Yes you're annoying for caring about my health, I can look after myself and yes I can work all night and no you are not driving me home now please move" She says, stomping her foot at the end.

I raise my eyebrows "Naomi as your boss I'm demanding you stop working and allow me to drive you home."

"No"

"Then you're fired" I smirk at her, raising my eyebrow in challenge.

She stares at me for a while "Gah! Why are you so frustrating?" She moves back to her desk, shuts down her computer and grabs her jacket.

"So then you are safe and healthy" I say, holding the door open for her. She rolls her eyes and marches out, I follow her quickly catching up to her strides.

"Why do you want to drive me anyway?" she asks as we get to the car park.

"We're going to the same place, Cook was your ride and I don't want you walking alone at night" I open my passenger door for her, waiting for her to get in before shutting it and running round.

"Why?" she asks as I get in.

"Because I care about you" I say as I turn on the ignition and pull out of the car park.

"Why?"

I laugh "Why are you asking me so many questions? Can't a friend care for another friend"

"We're not exactly friends though" she says. My hands tighten around the steering wheel at her words, it's not like I didn't expect her to say it, I just didn't realise that they would sting so much.

Naomi seems to have noticed my sudden silence "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it like that"

I pull up outside Cook and mine's apartment and switch off the ignition. We stay silent, neither one of us bothering to leave the car.

"Emily I'm sor-"

"I've always cared for you more than a friend should Naomi. I never did stop caring for you. That's why I wanted you home safely" I say quietly, hurt evident in my voice. I get out and walk up to the apartment, hearing Naomi's heels clicking behind me.

I walk through the doors and walk up the stairs to our apartment door. Letting myself in, I dump my things on the settee and head straight for the kitchen, popping the cork of a bottle of wine I take a drink straight from the bottle.

I hear the door close and listen out for the click of her heels head towards Cook's room, but they never do, instead they walk into the kitchen.

"Emily I didn't mean that, it's just ever since you came back we haven't really spoken-"

"And who's fault was that?"I ask bitterly, taking a swig from the bottle.

"I know, I know. I was just upset and-"

I spin round to face her "You were upset? About what? I come back and you're happy with Cook, I break up with Jenna because she saw that I was still in love with you. Then you go and yell at me on the same night!"

"I know okay! I was upset because you seemed happy with someone else and I didn't like it-"

"So you were jealous? So you thought it was okay to yell at me, yell at me for running again and say I need to prove how much I love you?"

"Yes I was jealous but-"

"You know what, I think you're the one running Naomi. You're the one hiding from us. You're using Cook as an excuse for us to not be together. You're the one scared about what will happen!"

"Only because I'm scared you'll-"

"No you're scared of-"

"WILL YOU LET ME FINISH!" She shouts, causing me to shut up. She takes a deep breath "I'm scared that you'll realise you don't love me and find someone else and that thought kills me, it kills me to think you'll be with someone else. Yes I use Cook as an excuse because he is safe, I feel safe with him"

"You never felt safe with me?"

She shakes her head "No I did. I meant that the relationship with Cook is safe. With you...I felt like I didn't know where we were going to go next and it was exciting, but also scary."

"Do you not know how much it kills me to see you with him? My best friend!" I say, my voice rising a little louder.

"No"

"Because you are blinded by how scared you are right?" I say, taking a long drink from the wine bottle.

She steps closer to me "No, because I was-no am blinded by how much...how much I" she pauses and takes another step towards me, I swallow when I notice how close she is to me "How much I love you Emily. I love you so much that it scares me, it scares me that I could never love someone as much as I love you and that if I see you with someone else, it'll rip me apart. And so I use Cook as my shield from it. He blocks away my love and fear."

She takes another step closer, our bodies pressing up against each other. I place the wine bottle on the counter behind me and gaze up at her, my eyes meeting her sparkling blue ones, making me weak at the knees.

"You love me?" I ask my voice cracking.

She shakes my head, causing my heart to constrict against the tight hold her fist has on it "I'm in love with you Emily. I never stopped being in love with you, just like you hadn't with me. Seeing you with Jen tore me apart. I wasn't angry that night at you, I was angry at myself for not running after you when you got on that train and trying to fight. You're not the one who has needed to fight Emily, it's me."

Her hand comes up and caresses my cheek softly, her thumb wiping away the tears rolling down my cheek. I grip onto her hips, pulling her closer to me, our hips touching.

"Say it, say it again" I whisper.

She smiles "I love you Emily"

I smile back at her and move my hands up to her neck. In one quick decision, I bing our lips together quickly claiming back what I have wanted for so long.

Our lips interlock with each other, my hands moving up to run through her hair as her left one grips my neck and her right grips my waist. I poke my tongue out and run it smoothly over her bottom lip, asking for access into her mouth. She grants it and I waste no time in plunging my tongue into her mouth, getting familiar with her hot cavern again.

Our tongues duel together, moans escaping our lips as we pull each other incredibly closer. Naomi grabs onto my thighs and lifts me up. I giggle into her mouth and wrap my legs around my waist, continuing to kiss her as she carries me into my room.

We both giggle when she drops us both onto the bed, I start to crawl backwards, Naomi following me as to not break our kiss. Her hands travel up my legs, over my skirt then softly stopping at the bottom of my blouse. Her lips trail from my lips, down my jaw then to my neck. I moan as she starts to gently suck on my skin, a fire building up in my stomach and a swimming pool filling my underwear.

Her fingers start to undo the buttons of my blouse as she continues to nip and suck at my neck, her fingers trailing up my stomach, creating a gentle pattern. She reaches the top one and removes her lips from my neck, moving back up to claim my lips again. With a quick bite at my bottom lip, she moves back and pops open my top button, pushing my blouse of my shoulders. I sit up and shrug it off, chucking it halfway across the room. I trail my hands up her legs, over her hips and rest them at her waist. I reach up and gently kiss her lips.

I move to start undoing her blouse, revealing more and more pale, soft and creamy skin to me. I kiss at the newly revealed skin as my hands continue to unbutton her shirt. Once done, Naomi quickly throws it off and gazes down at me with a smile. My eyes lock onto her black bra and I lick my lips. Reaching behind her back, I unclasp her bra and push it off her shoulders, also discarding. I flip us over so Naomi is under me and latch my lips onto her neck.

I kiss down her neck, grinding my hips into hers as she moan and arches into me. I make my way down to her chest and immediately take one of her perky nipples into my mouth. Her hands grab at my hair and push her closer to her chest.

"More" she husks out as her body writhes beneath me. I do as she says and suck hard on her nipple, gently bite at it then move onto her other neglected one, copying the same moves as I did on her other one.

My hands reach down and pull at her skirt and tights. Naomi lifts her hips, allowing me to drag her skirt, tights and underwear down her long pale legs and chuck them away from us. I take my time moving back up her body, trailing kisses up her left leg to her inner thigh then moving onto her right, kissing and biting the smooth skin as I move up her body.

I moan when I smell her arousal, the familiar musky scent bringing back hot and delicious memories of the last time we made love. It makes me even wetter just thinking about it.

"Emily?"

"Yes baby?" I breathe against her protruding clit.

"Fuck me" she demands, a moan escaping her lips when I attach mine onto her clit, licking and sucking at it. I moan when her juices fill my mouth and run across my tongue, I can't get enough of her. I place my hands on her hips, pushing them down onto the bed as they start to jerk upwards. I remove my lips from her clit and kiss my way back up her body until mine are hovering above hers. I place my forehead against hers and smile.

"I love you" I say before plunging into two fingers into her soaking sex and start to pump in and out, occasionally flicking up to touch the special spot inside her. Her eyes shut closed, her mouth forming a little oh as squeaks and moans start to escape her as I build her orgasm higher and higher.

Her hands are stretched out on either side of me, clasping desperately at my bed sheets as I get her higher and higher. I kiss her again as she tumbles over the edge, her moans filling up my mouth and her hands removing themselves from the sheets to claw at my back.

"I love you too" she says before she screams out my name.

Once she comes down from her high, she breaks away from me and smiles lazily. Before I can say anything to her, she flips us round so she's on top.

Naomi smiles down at me "Your turn"

So, I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter. It was difficult to write, believe me. Sex scenes are hard to describe ;)

Review please!

Cheers
