Dangerous feelings

Chapter 25

Emily walked happily along the expansive hallway as she headed to the large double doors at the end. She was sixty stories up in a pretentious high rise, the high rise that Alison and her family owned. Emily was carrying two drinks in one hand, an Americano for herself and the non caffeine containing hot chocolate for Alison and a bag of pastries in the other. There was a slight skip in her step as she headed to the office that Alison was currently working in, an office that she so rarely frequented. Even at seven months pregnant, heavily pregnant at that Alison refused to sit at home and do nothing. Emily had eventually got her to agree to have a driver take her too and from work seeing as she could barely fit in front of the steering wheel with her protruding bump.

Emily should have been currently sat behind a computer in the accountancy office but with their computer systems crashing every two minutes she was sent home or told to leave at least seeing as she was over an hour away from home. As soon as Emily had left the office she got in her car and headed to the city, it was her Mother's day to collect Noah after pre school and so she had the whole day free which she was choosing to spend with Alison.

Upon walking into Alison's office Emily could here her girlfriend laughing loudly and another persons voice whom she didn't recognise. She walked over and stood in the doorway that separated the actual office from the living room-esque waiting area. Emily didn't mean to pry but Alison didn't notice her girlfriend and as she didn't want to interrupt the current meeting which was being held she stood there quietly waiting to be noticed.

"You know pregnancy is a good look on you Ali" the unknown voice said as he leaned in towards the blonde who was hovering on the edge of her desk, the same side as the man who sat in one of the black leather chairs before her.

"Thank you Elliot, that's kind of you to say" Alison said monotonously as she tried to brush the compliment off.

Emily shook her head from where she stood and tried hard not to laugh, was this guy seriously trying to hit on a heavily pregnant woman?

"I mean it Ali, I've never seen you looking so... glowing in all the years I've known you" Elliot said as his hand found its way onto Alison's knee.

Emilys whole body tensed up, that was twice the man had called Alison by her nickname, were they well acquainted, had Alison mentioned him to her before? She really wanted to make her presence known but part of her was curious to see how Alison was going to handle this, it wasn't that she didn't trust her girlfriend but witnessing this type of interaction first hand had made her extremely jealous and her mind wasn't thinking completely straight.

"Need I remind you that I'm in a committed relationship" Alison said confidently as she moved her leg so that Elliot's hand fell off of it.

Emily breathed out a quiet sigh of relief, glad to know that Alison was thinking of her even with this guy bombarding her with compliments and not to mention the overly flashy suit that he was wearing.

"And yet you've never mentioned his name" Elliot continued to drawl on.

With those words Emily tensed again once more and fought the urge to storm out, she wanted to know why she had never been mentioned or the fact someone her girlfriend had known for years didn't know Alison was dating a woman.

"I don't feel a need to mention my personal life to you Elliot. I always keep our meetings professional and I suggest you learn to do the same." Alison's tone suggested the conversation was now over however Emily wasn't happy with the fact that the blonde never corrected this mans mistake when suggesting she was dating a man.

Emily decided to make her presence finally known and strode confidently into the room, her posture straight, making both Alison and Elliot look straight round at her. Emily didn't say a word as she walked over to the desk and placed the two cups and bag of pastries down on it before turning to face the two others in the room. She then bent down and kissed Alison on the lips, lingering for slightly longer than she needed to before straightening back up and offering her hand to a slightly stunned Elliot.
