Emersion Miller finds herself being shipped back out to the place she escaped five months ago. If she had known the consequences of agreeing to work again, she would have hung up on Mr Jimmy and kicked Mike where the sun doesn't shine, but only one...

" Hey Duck " Mike yelled, tapping on the drill shack " Emersion following behind him
" What's up, Mike, Miller is that you " He asked, surprised.
" The one and only " Emersion sarcastically responded. Duck looked at her with a fond expression before looking to Mike, seeing him holding up a peace sign and holding one-up himself.
Emersion quickly dropped to the ground tying up her shoelace that had become loose. Looking up she noticed Mike walking away. Muttering asshole under breath again she continues to tie her shoelace, shaking her head. Catching up to Mike, she managed to hear the last of his conversation
" I was a lot better a couple of hours ago " Emersion became frozen in her spot. Looking up, she spotted the man responsible. A light blush coated her cheeks, the palms of her hands became sweaty as a tingling feeling surged through her body. Emersion would know that voice anywhere. It belonged to the one and only CALEB HOLLOWAY.
" Well, I have something to cheer you up " turning around, Mike pointed right where Emersion was standing, still frozen in her spot. Mike wasn't stupid he knew what was going on between the two of them, and he knew that they both needed a gentle shove in the right direction to get things kick-started.
Caleb stared at Emersion, squinting his eyes, trying make out who the person was. Rubbing some of the mud off his face, he finally realised who it was. " Emmy " he called to her a smile stretching his face.
A deep shared of red now coated Emersion's cheeks, and the tingling feeling intensified. She would probably rip their heads off if anyone else did, but it was different with Caleb. That name, he is the only one to call her that.
" Hey " Emersion replied shyly, making her way over to the two before looking up and meeting Caleb's eyes. To her, they weren't just boring brown eyes, they reminded her of dark caramel pools. Slowly starting to lose herself by just staring at him, Mike quickly nudged her, snapping Emersion out of her daze. Quickly recovering, she fiddled with her fingers. Gaining some confidence, she quickly asks , "Miss me, sleepyhead "
Caleb scratched the back of his neck, chuckling and nodding his head rather quickly, with a lopsided grin plastered on his face. Before he could respond, Mike interrupted the moment. "Mr Jimmy's pissed. Got a cement bond log test ? "
Tearing his gaze away from Emersion, Caleb look to Mike lost for words, before finally stuttering out " Uh I ... I'm n...not sure. I don't think so "
" No " Mike asks again, " Shane !! "
" No way is that Miller, what are you doing here girl " Shane rushed out, jogging over to the trio, giving Emersion a fist bump.
Smiling up at Shane " Well, you know me, when Mr Jimmy calls, I come " Caleb gave her a confused look before she continued ", well you also have a lot of broken shit that old man over here can't do himself" Nudging Mike in the side with her elbow " So Mr Jimmy called in the big gun " She chucked out, hearing Mike curse under his breath. Feeling someone staring at the side of her face, she turns her head to find Caleb smiling down. Moving closer he wraps his arm over her shoulder, pulling her closer to him.
" Oh yeah that makes sense " Shane replied. Emersion was to distracted to look up at Shane and Mike as her brain had gone to mush, her eyes were fixated on Caleb's hand that was dangling off her shoulder. Slowly his fingers started to draw small shapes on her bare shoulder, causing Emersion to learn her body weight into him and softly hum in content.
Mike peered at the two a soft expression on his face. Ignoring Shane's last remake, he asked again " Schlumerger run a cement bond log test"
Groggily Shane fixed the glasses on his face, giving Mike a tired expression " I don't know. I don't think they did. I just wok up so "
" Is that stupid " Mike asked the three. Snapping both Caleb and Emersion out of their own little world
" I don't know if its stupid" Shane replied, followed by the three of saying at the same time
" But it ain't Smart "
The three stare at each other with amused and smug grins before turning back to Mike
" Look at you three, 5 minutes back together and your like synchronised swimmers " The three under scrutiny looked at Mike with confused faces, " I think you think too much, you gonna give each other headaches "
That was the last straw as Caleb narrows his eye at Mike " Get the hell outta here man " in a joking manner pushing him with Shane backing him up. Emersion turns to chuckle into Caleb's chest, wrapping her arms around his waist. Feelings arms snake around her back, Emersion looks up into Caleb's eyes.
" Hey don't move you have mud under your eye" Caleb softly spoke down to her. Moving his hand away from her back, he removed his glove and slowly rubbed the mud off her face. Emersion's grip on Caleb's waist tightens as he cups the side of her face with one hand, rubbing circles on her back with his other and whispers " Perfection " into her ear. Emersion swore she could have melted right there on the spot.
Slowly they both learn in, Caleb's eyes flashing down to Emersion lips and back up to her eyes. Emersion heart starts to beat fasters as Caleb's lips are an inch away from hers. His warm breath covers her face as the hand on her back slowly moves down to her waist. Emersion breath catches in her throat as Caleb slowly brings her head closers to his and leans his forehead against hers, waiting and arguing Caleb to kiss her Emersion shuffles her body closer to his.
" EMERSION REED MILLER, GET OVER HERE. YOU CAN SUCK FACE LATER " Emersion jumps out of Caleb's hold, face flushed as she whips her head around, sending daggers to a smug-looking Mike leaning against the entrance of the drill shack. If looks could kill he would be 6 feet underground. Waving his arms in the air he summons her over before walking back into the shack.
Scratching the back of his neck, Caleb clears his throat, gaining Emersion's attention as she turns back around to look at him " I'll see you around soon, yeah " he whispers before leaning down and kissing the side of her lips. A flushed Emersion nods her head rapidly before slowly walking away, making her way to the drill shack with the biggest grin stretched on her face.
