WHO: Zoe & Greed w/Digger
WHEN: January 5 [Backdated]
WHERE: Greed's office
WHAT: You're fired
WARNING: None
Note: The log reads backwards
She could hear it in his voice, he wasn't concerned about her, he was annoyed she wasn't where he wanted her, "I. Can't. Breathe." she bit the words out and went straight for the door, not that she expected him to care or stop her. Good thing she didn't work here anymore, now she could just leave.

Greed spun his chair when she got up. "Where are you going?" Just seconds ago she didn't want to move. Now it was as if her ass were on fire. What had he done this time?

It was like she didn't exist, he basically ignored her, didn't even look at her. Ugh, she hated when he used in front of her, especially for something like this. She shoved at his desk so she could get off his lap and stand up, she couldn't stomach being around him right now, it felt like breathing motor oil. This was worse than losing her job.

Greed still didn't say a word, just sat back a little in his chair, swaying it slowly from side to side. With every creak it made Digger took an even quicker step towards the desk to flop down the files. The boy was so flustered he didn't even know how to respond so he just made mild waves and hand gestures that he was heading out. He nearly tripped over his own feet getting out. "We'll do lunch." it was as if there were worms and spiders crawling all up and down his skin.
Then Greed and Zoe were alone again and Greed let out a groan of relief. "Finally." But the damage had been done, Greed had scratched that itch to use on his own buddy.

Zoe squirmed a little in Greed's lap, feeling a little on edge. It was the whine that caught her attention, the whole thing was unlike Digger. She frowned and then looked at Greed. That cool caluculated burning look... that.. slimy feeling was coming from him. Was he using influence? Her mouth dropped open a little and she smacked her hand into Greed's chest to get him to look at her as she asked in a super hushed voice, "Are you...?" but she didn't need to ask because she could feel it like oil.

Digger had been hitting on his best friend. He'd been so drunk he'd nearly gone home with both Zoe and Greed. So, maybe he was still trying to get through the awkwardness that was on his end. "I'm just trying to make it easier on you...." Digger sighed, whatever frustration Greed was easing out into the air was sticking to Digger like glue. "I'm just here to do what I'm supposed to do! Delivering files like a bell boy. I'm just doing my job..." Digger was whining a little (a lot like Greed could). Maybe Greed was purposefully making him uncomfortable to get him to leave a little faster. Greed hadn't said a word since he came in, but those blue eyes were burning holes into Digger in the most intense way.

Zoe looked at him curiously, "That's kinda.... callous." he was acting like this was no big deal. She was doing that too but its cause she was trying to be brave for Greed. "Digger, what's going on with you? You know we're not naked or anything. Chance isn't even feeling me up. I'm just sitting in his lap. I mean, I'm not even blushing, that's how innocent it is." Digger was acting like the time he walked in on them in bed.

"Well, it happens to the best of us..." he took another step forward. "I know I went through a slew of part time jobs before I got this one..." he was trying to make small talk and do what he had to do so he could bolt. He wasn't sure why he felt so embarrassed, but after the drunken Christmas party, seeing them snuggly just made him a little uncomfortable.

When Greed didn't let her up, she looked at him with raised brows but a small smile, she didn't want to get up either and gave him a snuggly kiss before Digger started talking again, "I am an unemployed loser now, okay. I am not fine."
On Sun, Jan 25, 2015 at 8:21 PM, Lauren Christensen <prettykozi@gmail.com> wrote:
Digger couldn't hold back that embarrassed laugh. Sometimes he loved being around these two, but when they got all snuggly and kissy, he kind of didn't want to be slapped in the face. To be honest they were more like a pair of teenagers in love then grown adults. It was a bit weird. That...and Greed had this way of making everything he did seem so sexual...
"Ah well, I'd say you're fine." Digger took a few more slow steps. The desk was about ten steps from the door. He had eight more to go and he could deliver the files and walk out.

"Well, I'm really good at my job and he's a great boss that wants to make sure I'm okay." and since Digger wasn't leaving, Zoe sighed and untangled herself from Greed and if he'd let her get up, she would.

"Usually that puts people at opposite ends of a desk. You're awfully chummy...." Digger was teasing but he was also trying to sneak towards the desk with the files he had for Greed. Currently he wasn't sure how far to step without seeing something he possibly shouldn't. Greed groaned again under his breath. When he wanted privacy he didn't get it.
On Sun, Jan 25, 2015 at 10:38 PM, Lucky L. <neverluckymore@gmail.com> wrote:
Zoe swung her feet back and forth like a kid as she sat in Greed's lap, "He was breaking it to me gently." and she stuck out her tongue, not that Digger could see.

"Oh, is that what that is? I was confused, I thought you two were just sucking face." He put the file folders up over his face again as if he was intruding on something dirty.

Zoe stayed in Greed's lap, resting her head on his shoulder, not wanting to get up even tho she should. "Digger, I'm in the middle of getting fired, this is totally unpleasant, you don't want to look." of course it was the opposite of that.
On Sun, Jan 25, 2015 at 6:16 PM, Lauren Christensen <prettykozi@gmail.com> wrote:
"Can I look now?" Digger asked peeking over the file folders. Greed just threw his head back with a groan. He'd been enjoying himself.

Zoe opened her mouth, about to say something like Greed requested when her head spun around at the sound of the door and Digger's exclaimation. Her cheeks were pink and her lips were shiny from Greed's kisses. It was a very good reminder they were at work. And that she was being let go. She didn't respond to Digger, yes he was interrupting but maybe that wasnt a bad thing. She should probably get up...
On Sun, Jan 25, 2015 at 11:45 AM, Lauren Christensen <prettykozi@gmail.com> wrote:
He enveloped her in that kiss. It was vanilla on his tongue. "Say something else?" He whispered against her lips. He was going to drag it out a little longer until Digger came in whistling a tune. "oh shit!" He shut the door behind him, folders over his eyes. "Am i interrupting?"
On Sunday, January 25, 2015, Lucky L. <neverluckymore@gmail.com> wrote:
Before she could argue she actually had said 'dictation', he was kissing her and taking her by surprise. Did he say it was sexy? And he didn't freeze? And he kissed her? She would say dick hundred times if it meant that he'd keep doing this and her hand slid up his arm again and around his neck to be closer as she kissed him back eagerly.
On Sun, Jan 25, 2015 at 8:35 AM, Lauren Christensen <prettykozi@gmail.com> wrote:
"You said dick, and shit it was sexier than a stripper saying it." He kissed her finally without warning. She had started to get into playing the role and he dug it. He completely dug it.

At his words, that tinge in her cheeks lit up red as she blushed with a short embarrassed laugh, "I didn't.... I was... it's a word!" she said with another short laugh tho it was obvious she knew exactly what she had said and why and the way she said it.
On Sat, Jan 24, 2015 at 8:40 PM, Lauren Christensen <prettykozi@gmail.com> wrote:
A croak of a noise came out as he tried to piece together the millions of words that were racing through his mind right now. He couldn't pin-point the right one because he excited, proud and turned on. "You made a dirty...." was all he managed to get out with a slick grin.

She raised her brows looking at him anxiously. Oh crap... did she make him freeze? Oh man. It had been too much, hadn't it. And they had been doing so good! All she could do was stare back but she was getting ready to call defeat on the whole thing.

Greed paused when she did, his mouth hanging wide open to reply but nothing came out. When she covered up that dirty thought with an actual end to the sentence he just kind of stared at her without blinking. Had....
Did she just throw a dirty thought at him? Like a legit dirty thought? He was kind of impressed but he just couldn't function long enough to voice his satisfaction.

She let out a breath and looked in thought, her head rolling back, exposing her neck for a moment before she looked back at him. She thought of something to say and she was trying not to laugh because it was so ridiculous, a grin slipped through tho as she said, "I love taking dic..tation." purposely putting a pause in the word. She was so amused at her dirty joke, there was even a tinge of pink on her cheeks.

She had destroyed any space that may have been between them the moment her chest rubbed on his. Now he could literally taste the coconuts in her hair. "It's a very, very difficult decision to make..." he lowered his lashes hanging in thought. "Is there any other talents I may be missing. Things you've never told me?"
On Sat, Jan 24, 2015 at 9:33 PM, Lucky L. <neverluckymore@gmail.com> wrote:
"It probably is." and she really kinda wanted to kiss him but didn't. She just leaned in a little so her boob kinda pressed into him, "Anything else I can do to convince you to keep me, Mr. Avaritia?"

"Sounds European." He grinned with a dazzling smile to see if that made it any more attractive.

She pressed down on the tie again as if admiring it and then looked at him, in his eyes, a sparkle in her own, "I think it suits you." just like they suited each other.

"Oh?" He tried to look down at the job which she managed immaculately. "That's a good one." It was a different one for a new everything. He liked it. "Whatdya think?"

"The Christensen knot." the knot itself was neat but done in a way that tie poofed out a bit like a peacock right underneath it instead of laying flat and limp. It was a confident knot, solid. She thought it suited them.
On Sat, Jan 24, 2015 at 10:53 AM, Lauren Christensen <prettykozi@gmail.com> wrote:
"And which one is that?" He asked curious as there were a myriad of knots out there. Which one had she chose this time?

Zoe's touch and actions were never mother like but still nuturing, but there was no way to mistake her for anything other than someone in love. She took her time and then pulled the knot into place, "There..." one hand smoothing down his tie as she admired the handsome knot on its handsome owner., Totally oblivious to the effect she was having on him.

He could feel her breath on his face. All those gentle tugs were kind of sexy, something he never thought he'd view that way. It was just her careful and gentle touch. She wasnt aggressive, it was still raw and new but in a different way. It made his stomach flop around, making him curl his toes in his shoes each time she was close enough to kiss. Now who was taunting who?

She smiled with a nod, "It's kind of my speciality..." she put the tie between her thumb and forefinger, running it through once before she tugged on it, bringing him closer so their noses were practically touching as she focused on his collar and started tying the tie. But she didn't do the one she normally did, she did a different one, something new to fit the new year and new them.

"That's quite the offer..." he slid his hand up his tie, loosening the knot and undoing it. "Can you tie a tie?" She hadn't done one for him in a long time. He wanted a new knot for a new them.

She shook her head, "No protest whatsoever, you're the boss." it was a fun scenario to play out, even tho if this had been a real begging for her job, she wouldn't be sitting in the boss' lap. She nodded, "Just once. But don't take my word for it, you can give me a test if you want..."
On Fri, Jan 23, 2015 at 9:26 PM, Lauren Christensen<prettykozi@gmail.com> wrote:
"Without much protest I hope?" They'd been doing a lot of him leading with his words and her following his directions. "I expect I only need to tell you once what needs to be done?" He saw those fat lashes of hers and he was ready to reach out and stroke them with his thumb but he resisted because the scenario they were playing out was more fun.

She tilted her head to look at the ground, "Not very fast at all I'm afraid..." then looked back at him, "I like taking my time..." she leaned in a little, raising her chin so her lashes lowered over her brown eyes, "But I am extremely good at following instructions..." since their new thing was he told her what he imagined and she did it.

He sat the tie back down against his chest, sliding his hand up and down it slowly as she talked. "You do have quite the phone voice. It's very....soothing..." he nudged her to continue. "How fast can you type?" Clearly by the tone of his voice he wasn't talking about the keyboard of a computer.

She was trying not to smile either but a peek slipped through, "Well.... I'm also detail oriented, especially using my mouth." she batted her lashes innocently, "You know, taking messages, answering phones, that type of thing..."

Greed perked a thick brow, not a word coming from his mouth as he tried to hold back that grin that wanted to surface. It sort of squeaked out anyway, but he kept his face from betraying him too much. He sat back, pulling the tie out from his vest as if to adjust it. "That's quite the talent....anything else?" He kept that brow arched in wait for her reply.

She nodded as if he had been hasty even tho they both knew it hadn't been his decision to let her go as if his bawling like a baby earlier hadn't been evidence of it. "I am excellent at filing... and typing... and copying..." she lifted one hand and wiggled her long slender fingers, "Really really good with my hands basically."

He fingered the sleeve of her dress. "I know, maybe I was a bit presumptuous in my decision...if I were to rethink, what qualities do I need to take into consideration?" He hummed sliding his hand down her arm again.

His words kinda caught her off guard, it sounded almost like he was roleplaying with her. Tho it was technically true, he was technically her boss. Technically. "Wish there was some way I could keep my job..." she whispered back as he so effortlessly ran the show.

He curled a hand through her hair, taking in that scent that had become so very much her. He loved that scent, he loved breathing it in. "I'm your boss...I feel terrible for letting a sweet girl like you go..." he whispered to her, his nose brushed her cheek.

Her lashes fluttered closed as he kept going, her head tilting to the side to give him better access to her neck. Ever since he'd fallen back in love with her and dropped his 'you come to me' thing, he'd become so much more skilled at seducing her and just taking. It was weird, she was used to him taking cause the beauty of it was that half way through him taking, she was already just giving it to him.

She was the one feeling him up and he wasn't going to stop her. He contined that sweet torture with feathered kisses and soft breathy touches. He was egging her on purposefully and not freezing.

She made a slight face, her nose wrinkling when he didn't kiss her but then he was at her neck for some more torture, Her hand on his shoulder slid down a bit, feeling the curve of his bicep even through his crisp shirt.

He cane close as if he were going to kiss her lips, but he barely brushed them, his hot breath tickling the skin down her neck in the same way. He wanted to drive her crazy. Make her think he would do more until she couldn't stand it.

"No it is not...." but her skin had goosebumps forming from where his finger was sliding, "Really not professional at all..." she said quietly as he got to her cheek. Her heart was fluttering a bit, was he actually going to do something..?

"It's not appropriate...." he ran his finger up her bare arm. It was a turn on for him, the idea that at any moment someone could interrupt. That was sexy. He traced his finger back up her arm, skimming towards her neck and then her cheek. She'd taught him long ago that a simple touch could be more wild than an obvious, or heavy handed one.

She grinned at his nip, "Oh that's true... are you saying then we shouldn't.....?" she had a sneaking feeling that it was somehow a turn on for him the idea of getting caught. She, herself, not so much, but things were so good between them right now, she was willing to bend a little to not rock the boat. Besides, they were at work, she doubted he'd do anything too racy....

He leaned in, biting the tip of her nose gently. "Someone could come in couldn't they?" He whispered. His boss would likely stay away knowing Greed had to break this news to her gently....and he hadn't, but he was secretly making good use of his time.

She frowned with a small pout, "Aww.. I guess this is the last time we get to be inappropriate at work." and she kissed his lips again. No more office fantasies. Sure, she'd visit often but it wasn't the same as the temp and the boss being naughty.

Because he asked, or rather told, she did it. He wasn't trying to bait her or come to him, he was telling her what he needed and she knew he needed to feel her comforting him so she did. She kissed him without another word, soft and sad but in a way that showed him they were together in this.

"What happens when I don't see you?" There was panic in his voice. Everything was changing again not of his own accord all of it, it kind of took those securities he had and rolled them out of his reach. Greed was doing so well defending what he had, that now the worry kicked in, and that hole that Derek had poked at by kidnapping Zoe started to nag him again. It wasn't the act of her being kidnapped but the fact that she was easily stripped from his everyday routine. She wouldn't be with him when they got up for work. There was a level of security Greed had by having her within his reach throughout the day. Now that was changing...

She frowned and looked at his desk, arms still around his neck. Her only reaction was to say, "Oh." so she was getting let go. It wasn't totally unexpected but she didn't bother to hide her disappointment.

The words just flew out of his mouth so fast he was hopeful she'd just not managed to hear it. "They're making some cuts. You're a temp so they don't need you anymore..." he couldn't say "we" because Greed definitely didn't see it the same way. He'd want Zoe there even if she was a mail clerk.

Her brown eyes looked in his baby blues and she furrowed a brow, "What about it...?" oh did the boss think it was inappropriate for them to date? Were they caught kissing and Greed was in trouble for it?

Those thick heavy lashes were coated in fresh crocodile tears as he looked at her, a kicked puppy. "It's about your job..." he started to fidget.

She stroked his hair and said, "About what...?" because her sitting in his lap consoling him was totally not professional but she assumed it wasn't about them.

The only noises that would come out of his mouth were those deep sobs that sounded like they came erupting from out of his stomach. He wasn't even able to hold onto her because he started to shake. He was giving Zoe the wrong impression, it wasn't him that was in danger. "I have to be professional..." he nodded but he was totally doing this all wrong.

She sat in his lap and kept her arms around him, kissing his temple as she spoke to him soothingly, asking him softly to tell her what was wrong. He only got like this when he thought he was going to lose something. She had half a mind to talk to his boss, Greed was a great worker, why would they ever get rid of him?

She ended up haphazardly sitting in his lap when she forced her arms around him. His eyes were glassy, feeling definitely crushed because this was putting him in a situation that forced him to go against his nature. It wasn't enough that he was in love with the girl.

Her eyes went wide and she wriggled and shoved her way under his arm so she could put her arms around his neck and hug him to her, trying to console him without knowing what was wrong. Just wanting to be there for him. God she hoped he didn't get fired... that would kill him.

He was acting as if she died, not able to control this crazy thing called giving something away that he didn't want to give away. He let out another squealed cry. He was ready to hyperventilate.

She was taken aback and knelt down next to his chair, "Greed..." she tugged on his arm to try to get him to look at her, "Talk to me.. please?" he was starting to really worry her.

He didn't move, his shoulders and back tense. The only thing that could come out of his mouth was some horribly distorted sob that had some whine threaded in. If she didnt know what he was this would be horribly awkward.

She shut the door behind her since something seemed wrong, "Greed...?" she asked in concern and walked over to him carefully when he didn't move. She put a gentle hand on his back and rubbed it, "What happened?"

Greed's head was still down on the desk when she came in. He was supposed to be professional and he just kinda sat there like a slug in his stylish suit about to choke
down sobs. He didn't like to let anything go, this was painful.

Zoe was a little bewildered at Digger telling her that Greed wanted to see her. He put his hand on her shoulder and shook his head like someone had died. She knocked on Greed's open door and tilted her head at his head on his desk, "Everything okay...?" she wore green dress that had a lace part that covered her shoulders and collarbone. She'd teased Greed about it saying that morning she wore it instead of a pencil skirt so she wouldn't distract him from his big meeting with his boss.

Greed flopped his head on the desk the moment Digger left. Shit. He was moving out, now he had to cut her loose from the job....all after saying those sickening sweet words on new years. Fuck.

"Maybe you can take her out for a nice dinner or something after, ya know? To soften the blow. Cause you can try to keep the person out of it but at the end of the day, she's still your girl." he nodded and put a hand on his chest, "I will send thy lady in." he gave a bow and scooted on out to go tell Zoe with a sympathetic look that her boyfriend needed to see her.

"I don't know yet...." Most girls might get angry. Might blame him for it, he wasn't sure how Zoe was going ti react. He might have to dely moving out until he got her another job. "That business with her ex put me in a bad place. I have to let business be business and keep the personal shit out of it." He didn't know how he was going to do it though without taking ot personal. "You send her in?"

Digger made a face and said an exaggerated, "OUCH." he scratched the back of his head, "I almost forgot she was a temp..." he looked at Greed with a man I'm glad Im not you expression, "How you gonna break it to her?"

"Yes Sir." Greed would fall apart if he lost this job. He could shove all the influence he wanted down their throats, but in the end it would turn ugly. It would destroy this place and everyone in it.
He waited a few minutes, tapping his fingers over the folder. Before he could get up Digger barged in with some things to add to Greed's desk. "Dude, the big boss just left. What's going on?" Greed was his buddy, Digger was nosey as hell.
"I have to fire Zoe." He said without a breath. Yeah, Greed was going to choke in front of her.

"Good. I knew I could count on you." the boss said and stood up. He put the folder on the table and smiled as he stood up to leave but there was a bit of steeliness to it, "You seem like you know business is just business." it was another way of saying they didn't want another derek problem on their hands. Granted he hadn't been part of the company but the bad blood between him and Greed wasn't too quiet. And with that the boss was gone.

"No, no, I'll do it." Greed didn't want Peterson anywhere near Zoe. "Peterson will tip-toe around it and try for a date instead." Greed had to show what he could handle. The Derek fiasco had put a sore spot in his image even with the promotion. Greed loved this job. He just wasn't going to have an easy time. He might even cry.

The boss frowned and looked up, "Oh, I didn't-- Hmm. No, of course not." he looked back down at the papers, "I'll get Peterson to fire her." who was one of the guys that had been hitting on Zoe when she first came to work there and he was a douche.

"You want me to fire my girlfriend?" So it came out a little snarky, and dare he say a little dread. Greed had gotten comfortable with her being there.

The boss looked preoccupied in the papers, it didn't look like he knew or remembered at the moment that the last temp was Greed's girlfriend. "She's doing fine." he said absently as he flipped to another sheet, "But that's why they're temps. It's temporary. When we had that big project, we needed the help, that account is done so there's no need."

"Which one---" but as Greed looked at the paperwork, he answered his own question. "Is she not doing well?" The boss did realize this was his girlfriend he was asking him to terminate didn't he?

It was the first week back at work in the New Year and it meant that lots of clean up was happening. Lots of reshuffling, not just papers but people too. One of the higher up's was taking a meeting with Greed. He praised him on the work he had done and the deserved promotion and what his ideas were going forward. He gave Greed a stack of files for a new account he wanted Greed to oversee and then mentioned, "Out of the three remaining temps, one won't be coming back, one got hired by one of the departments so you can let go of the last one today."
