Idiots, working with idiots [Open]

[..Chasia.||Hollow||]

"I love you Maria." "Oh Martian!" -loud kissing noises-

Chase made a face at the plasma screen sitting in her office. Her office! That sure felt good to say, after years of waiting for her crazy mother to move away, Girl's Best Friend was finally hers. Her hair was curled into tight black-brown ringlets, each one glossed, and now crushed, seeing as she had just woken up after sleeping on her desk. On her thin, but fit body was a Juicy Couture: Sueded Long Top, on her tiny feet Juicy Couture: Scrunched Boots. She shook her head, "What idiots." But the on screen characters where nothing to the people she had to work with. Not the people who worked for her but the dealer's she got her diamonds from, the medicine suppliers, and her own father. Everyone keep screwing her over. None of her shipments, for anything, had come in, for the past three days.

She had a sinking felling that she had sent a Burger King wrapper to the fix it guy, instead of a check. The girl got out of her desk chair. There was a mirror on the back wall, she turned around. Swingline was printed backward on her cheek from when she had taken a nap. "Oh my god, you're not fucking serious! Crap." She glared at her reflection. "Stupid... stupid..." she away and walked back to her desk. As she sat down her phone rang. "Hello?...Well no I hadn't, I didn't write the check, well I was out...yes I know I'm sending a new one right now." And just like that she hung up on the fix it guy. She hadn’t sent a Burger King wrapper, she had sent noting. Her head hit wood, and . “Another note to self, make time , go back in time kill person who invented inheritance and retirement.”

He'd been hanging around his apartment for the afternoon, not nearly having as much fun in his relaxation as he'd hoped. Zach's father had called, and clearly let him know of his disappointment in his decisions to lead even a portion of his life away from the family business. The conversation had incorporated whole series of tensions and disasters as happened when he lived at home and could do this all in person.

Furthermore, him and Chasia hadn't had the time together as they used to. He hadn't seen her in a few days, especially since they were out of school now, and with her job and him and his father, the time was scarce, and now next to none. This wasn't the plan Zach had been hoping for, though he'd been waiting for her to de-stress and relax a bit before pressuring her again for her time and their next move.

He had to get out, afraid his father would show up there as he'd done a few times in the past and drag him unwillingly to wherever he felt him needed. Zach sighed, his jawline tense and the crease between his brows as he grabbed up his keys and minor accessories and headed out the door, locking it behind him.

The drive was a quick one, luckily, and as he reached the mall, he parked and hopped out, looking up at the building and squinting into the sunlight. He walked in and found the little corner store in the big mall, having parked near it intentionally, and smiled as he saw her sitting out back in her office, looking all peeved and frustrated by herself. His blue eyes hesitated on her and he stood where he was, just watching for a few seconds before making his way inside. He couldn't help but laugh a bit when he saw her face, smiling more broadly and wiping his thumb across her cheek with his knuckles braced against her jawline. Swingline. Hard day, Ace?

Chase hadn't even heard someone come into the small office. She felt a hand on her cheek, just as she was going to scream her lungs out she heard the familiar voice of her boyfriend came to her ears. "Zach! And no Swing line jokes, none." She twirled around in her chair and jumped at Zach. She almost knock him over but not quite, her arms wrapping tightly around his neck. "So your day? How's that been going? Cause mine sucked until like 3 second ago." She looked in his eyes intently.

He was the first guy she had love besides her best friend, who she liked to call Skip, don't ask. She had been in love with Skip for years. And had dumped a lot of very nice guys, hoping that Skip would see that she was more then just his friend that she was a girl, a very hot girl too. Then she meet Zach, and he was totally hot, totally smart, and totally perfect. And she loved him really loved him, and to her knowledge he loved her back. "What are you doing here?" She looked back at him.

He was glad of her reaction, and wrapped his arms around her waist as she stood on tiptoes to meet him. Zach bent down to meet her and pressed his lips to hers for a quick kiss, still smiling at her when they parted. He ran a hand up and down her back as she stood there against him, trying to ease herself, and him too, down off their tense schedules. Ehhh, my father again, probably waiting for me at the apartment. That's why I'm here though Ace, because you being here makes things better, and I missed you.

Zach smiled as he looked down at her, feeling once again overwhelmed with feelings he'd always had difficulty putting his own thoughts together about. That's why he didn't dwell on it and just went along with all his heart told him. So how about a break to spend some time with your boyfriend, huh?

She loved kissing him. He was the best kisser in the world, seriously. She smiled at him, loving the way he held her, feeling the tension leaving her mind. "Aw poor Zachy. Big bad Daddy being mean again? And I missed you too." She gave him another quick kiss and looked at him scrunching up her nose. "You smell good, like newspapers or books."

Chase closed her eye's and breathed. If she didn’t take a break soon she’d would go crazy. "I could use a break. I could also use an assistant. What did you have in mind?" She looked up at him again. God he was gorgeous.

He returned her kisses and smiled down at her in between them. The father comment earned Chase a frown though. Hey, you know my father. You know how he gets since you interned there. He can be a real ass...a lot of the time. She quickly sidetracked him with another kiss that he leaned into before pulling back again.

Zach's mind went into a whirr as he thought about an idea of what to do on her break. On that, he hadn't given much thought. Frankly, all he'd been fuming about was his father, which led him here. From there wasn't even in his thought process. But there were the usuals that they had at least. Nothing exciting but also personal favorites of theirs. Honestly, all I'd even thought about after my dad was you, and when I got here I had no next step planned. But we can visit Barnes & Noble, Starbucks...my apartment...your house...

He knew very well that this would earn him a comment and "the look" from her, which would already explain the cheeky grin on his face as he looked just a few inches down at her. Zach knew her, pretty well by now, and loved pushing her buttons, too.

[..Chasia.||Hollow||]

"Yes he can." she said bitterly. Zach's father was an ass all of the time. She had interned under him, and after 2 months she quit. Smiling up at him, "Seriously good today." Talking about all the kissing.

Ok so he hadn't thought of anything. Big dork. Her train of thought was broken by Zach saying something about going to his apartment or her house. She had an annoyed face at him. "Books and coffee yes, your apartment my house no. Plus your father most likely has your house on radar. So he can sweep in and make you go work." She said it all fake worried. "And I just hate your apartment."
