Enjoy, that's all I ask.

“Good Morning,” Rachel greeted Emily as Emily opened the door for them to go into the building. They both chatted about nonsensical things related to work as they reached the elevator.

“What did you do this weekend?” Emily asked while she pressed the button to their floor.

“Well I got in contact with a certain someone this weekend.” Rachel winked at her and Emily's eyebrows raised.

'oh please you didn't talk to rebecca.' she prayed mentally. She was already trying to move on and forget her. It was a mistake what she was about to embark on.

'I'm not one of those people,' she rationalize. She and Rebecca had different agendas and they didn't work with each others beliefs.


“Who?” Emily finally found her voice as Rachel shook her head, “Not this time. I'm not telling.”

Emily rolled her eyes as the doors opened to their floor.

“Well what ever it was I bet your weekend was more exiting than mine. I took some work home and had chinese take out and watched some old black and white movies. Just another solitary weekend.”

Rachel was about to inquired about Rebecca. “Please Please I beg you and all the gods Please don't mention her again. Okay drop it. She and I-” Emily shook her head as she went into her cubicle.

“Fine for now,” Rachel shouted as she entered hers.

“What ever,” Emily mumbled as she turned on her computer and waited. She took out her folder and unlocked her cabinet files. She glanced back to the computer and the screen was blue.

'uh oh,' she thought.


“No No No No,” she turned around just in time to catch Ansel mumbling to himself as he went to main desk in the office and called tech support.

“Hey EM is your computer dead too?” Emily saw Albert peeking from his cubicle into hers.

She nodded as he click his tongue, “Oh shit someone's in trouble.”


“HOW THE FUCK!” Ansel shouted as everyone stood up and just like prairie dogs stood by their cubicles looking out.

Rachel ran and sneaked into Emily's space and whispered. “Some one fucking downloaded porn and a virus got into the system.”

Al peeked over his cubicle wall and whispered. “Yeah the head guy from tech, he's always watching porn. Shit there goes his job.” Emily nodded as she felt her heart sank that meant one thing.

“Ms. Demery thank you for coming on such a short notice.” Ansel Greeted Rebecca and Tess as they walked in.

“What seems to be the problem?” Tess asked as she nudge Rebecca who was looking around not paying attention.

“It seems we have a virus in the network.” Ansel answered while fidgeting with his hands.


“Ohh that doesn't sound good. When did you guys discover this?” Rebecca asked.

“This way please.” Ansel led the way to the elevators and pressed the button to the third floor. “this morning so we are assuming it was Friday after hours when the malfunction started.”

Rebecca notice they were going to the third floor, the room with all the wire and connections were on the ground floor but the room with the master access was on third floor she tried recalling where Emily's desk was at.

The meeting rooms were on the fourth floor she tried to recall. Still thinking.

“Here we are,” Ansel led the way as they walked behind him as he explain his concerns which was the information stored. If they could retrieve it with out losing anything.

Rebecca nudge Tess, “Do you think Mike's okay with that other installation?”

“He's fine quit trying to get rid of me,” Tess hissed as Ansel turned around and Tess answered, “We will try, situations like this tend to be... delicate.”

Ansel nodded and produce a key and Rebecca turned around finally finding her blond beauty. She smiled as her eyes connected with Emily's. She felt her heart beat faster, she held her breath and swallowed hard as she realized she had missed her more than she thought.


She tried calling, but everything she lost her voice and didn't even try pressing the call button.

“Hi,” Rebecca mouthed as she then disappeared into the office with Tess.


Emily had stopped breathing, she had felt her knee buckle. Just the mere presence of her was making her dizzy.

“Oh yeah,” Rachel muttered. “You two. Nothing my ass.” she mumbled as she sat down.

“Well that means we're out of commission for the day. Wanna go grab some early lunch.”

Emily shook her head as she sat down next to Rachel and covered her face with her hands.

“Hey it's okay to indulge in some physical action. I know why your not talking to her.”

“What you two?” Emily rolled her eyes and Rachel smiled, “Yeah we were fuck buddies in college. I was dating her brother at first but yeah he and I weren't aiming for the same things.”

“Isn't that fucked up leaving him for his sister.” Emily asked astounded at such audacity.

“Oh no no, I broke up with Zach then I date this guy and then I fucked this other guy then I met her and I had no clue they were relate.”

Emily looked at her with disgust. “You fucking whore,” she muttered.

“Oh get off your high horse,” Rachel slapped her on the knee, “A guy gets a shitload of women and he's a pimp and a woman does that shit and -,”

“Oh please don't be such a feminist, it doesn't suit you and you hate politics.”

Rachel leaned back in her chair, “True true, but that's my point. There is no shame in feeling good. In having sexual gratification. Fuck enjoy it.”

“such a hedonist.” Emily kept staring at the closed door wondering what was going on in there.


“You got a worm and a trojan virus in here. The worm is destroying your data as we speak and the trojan is storing it. So if someone wanted to steal it they could.” Tess explained while Rebecca typed away on the computer trying to prevent any more damage from being done.

“How do we fix it?

Rebecca chuckled, “I'm sorry but-,” She took a deep breath and glanced at Tess. Tess rolled her eyes.

“We can fix-,”

“There's a but right?” Ansel interrupted Tess. She nodded looking at Rebecca.

“There's a major BUT,” Rebecca pulled her laptop out and connected it to the main computer.

“I can swipe the network clean of bugs but what ever has been lost is lost, now I can try hacking into the trojan and retrieving some work but It's not a for sure things.”

Ansel nodded, “Do what you can then.” He turned and left leaving a portfolio with passwords and the key to the computer room.

“You might need coffee,” Tess mumbled as she exited the room.

“Lots of it,” she shouted. Rebecca rubbed her temples, she had seen this type of damage before. Better yet she had created it before, she knew the severity and the damage of it.

“Just because you couldn't keep it at home,” she mumbled. She found the video that had been downloaded to the server. She smiled at the title, “Pure Bliss,”

“Hey,” Rebecca didn't turn around too engrossed in trying to get the virus protection to isolate the problems that were causing havoc.

Emily sat on the empty computer chair next to her and greeted her again.

“Hello,”

This time Rebecca stopped her movement and took notice, “Hey,” she smiled brightly.

“You haven't called,” Emily blurted out not really knowing what to say. Did she really wanted her to call? She felt her heart skip and she took a deep breath. Yeah she did. She wanted Rebecca but was too afraid and closed minded.

“I had this feeling that maybe you didn't want me around anymore.” Rebecca admitted. Oh she tried calling, dozen of times, but with work and among other doubts. She didn't try harder.

“I do and I don't,” Emily admitted. Rebecca smirked, “Miss me?” she gloated, she couldn't help it.

“Asshole,” Emily slapped her on the arm and Rebecca shook her head.

“I know I know I'm bad for you and stuff,” Rebecca returned to her work.

“We should get together,” Rebecca offered, she had missed her a lot. She had missed a lot of things from Emily. Sex was one of them, but just being near her made her chest heavy.

“Hey here's your coffee- Oh Hello.” Tess handed Rebecca Styrofoam cup and extended her hand towards Emily.

“Hi I'm Tess,” Emily shook her hand and nodded, “I'm Emily I work here,” she answered confoundedly.

Tess was attractive, she wondered if Rebecca and her but then quickly recalled that Rebecca had mention that Tess was married to another co-worker of theirs.

“So your-”

“Hey Tess can you go to the base room and hook this up to the black box that holds the memory bank.” Rebecca glared at Tess as she handed her another laptop they had.


Tess smiled sweetly to the two women, “Sure thing Boss.” she replied while winking to Rebecca.

Rebecca took a deep breath and swallowed hard, 'that was close,' she thought. She didn't need Tess to be prodding into things she didn't want her to know.

“I should go back to my desk,” Emily was walking out, when Rebecca grabbed a hold of her arm.
“Can I come over later, I promise I'll behave.” Emily casted her eyes downward and swallowed hard, there was no shame in indulging in some gratification. Right?

“okay but what if I don't want you to behave.”
