3 MONTHS LATER:
"Good morning, how may I help you?"
"I'm here to see Sasha"
"Oh. Yeah, well..." Claire paused at the loud sound of items crashing that came from Sasha's office then the low moans that followed before she sighed "...You might have to wait a bit"
The lady looked between Claire and the door, her face masked with confusion. Eventually, realization lifted the veil of disconcertion from her eyes and her pupils widened in understanding to which Claire simply nodded.
"I think I'll just come around some other time" The lady grinned "Can you tell her Kara came to see her?"
Claire nodded "Sure"
"Alright, take care" The lady said and sent a short wave to Claire as she stepped out of the office, Claire mirrored her gesture until she was out then sighed.
"That's the third person today" Claire muttered to herself before she shoved her earphones back in her ear, muting the entirety of all that was happening behind her.
Only a few lyrics into the song, her office door swung open and Miranda stepped inside, a bright smile on her face. She turned to Claire and muttered something who then yanked her earphones out and arched an eyebrow.
"What?"
"It's lunch time" Miranda said in a sing song tune which made Claire stare at the time on her phone.
"Oh shit, it actually is"
The smile on Miranda's face quickly vanished as her eyes landed on Sasha's office.
"Are they still at it?"
Claire sighed "Yup"
"It's clocking to an hour" Miranda said as she stared down at the watch on her wrist "What are they? Fucking animals?"
Claire shrugged with a small chuckle.
"Beats me"
After a few seconds, the room went quiet which caused Claire to smirk.
"Guess they're done"
"About time" Miranda said with folded arms while she gave the door a death glare. Claire stood to her feet and walked next to Miranda, her eyes also darted at the door. The locks of the door clicked then right after, the door swung open before Sasha and Gregory stared back at the duo with dilated pupils.
"Oh, hey guys?" Gregory greeted sheepishly while Sasha hid behind his large frame as Miranda stared daggers at him.
"How long have you guys been here?" Sasha asked which made Claire smirk.
"Long enough" Both Gregory and Sasha's cheeks flushed a tinge of red which made Claire shake her head in negation with a toothy grin.
When Claire arrived at work, she was completely aware of the possibility of the couple getting it on. After all, ever since they started dating some months back, that was all they seemed to do, from the beginning of the day down to their lunch break.
What she hadn't expected though, was for it to take as long as it did.
A month after the announcement of Adkins's death, Claire began to live a much more normal life, and also began to associate and socialize much more with Miranda and Gregory, who undeniably became two of her closest friends. With Claire's constant presence in Gregory's life, she was able to beef his confidence enough to have him ask Sasha out.
And to everyone's surprise, she actually agreed to it.
And in just a couple of weeks, the two constantly began to fawn over each other. Sharing relationship memes and videos, going on picnic's and dinner date's, and having the most steamy sex in quite the most unexpected places in their office.
