A determined Aor

The door to the office is open a crack and I can hear baby Nuks cooing away and the sounds of keys typing and papers rustling. My eyes are buried into my phone screen, admittedly scrolling through Becky's photos, trying unsuccessfully to find a link to her nudes.

On top of her feed there is a picture of her and Yui on her main feed. Clearly one of their sponsored ads, they're both dripping with sweat, posing with their back to the camera wearing matching yoga pants, and nothing else, each of them holding a bottle of some drink I've never seen before behind their back. The picture frames their naked backs, and cuts off just below their butts and just above their shoulders, but I know those fit backs, and I can pick Yui's ass out of a line up ever since that first hike. Thousands of likes, hundreds of comments and my head spins at the implications of of the size of Becky's audience.

Distracted I bang my shoulder into the door and knock a taped piece of paper off the door and cause Aor to look up from her desk. I watch her golden hair held up in a messy bun wave upwards as she turns her head and looks to the door and sees me, bringing a huge smile to her face. "Hiya partner! I'm just processing this batch of orders. I think we are going to have to order more already. Holly and Jess alone are claiming 40% of our first shipment for The Loft. But I'm sure you knew that."

"Oh I didn't know it was that high." I say as I bend down to pick up the fallen piece of paper off the floor. Its a hand printed impromptu sign that reads "AORSOME SPIRITS!" with hearts drawn on either side.

"The "Official" signs should come in some time later this week. I just wanted to feel like I was working in my business." Aor says with a playful smile before diving back into her work.

I restick the tape back on the door and come into the office, diving into the to-do list Aor has pinned on the cork board between our desks above her baby who is happily bouncing around in his pack-n-play. He holds his little baby hand out towards me and I give him a playful soft knuckle bump and "Sup Knucks" under my breath so only he can hear me. It's really just for me, as his mum would hate to hear me call him his nickname and she's buried in her work and he's a baby, having no idea what I’m doing or saying. He lets out a contented coo at getting some attention and I sit down and start processing tasks.

Each time I find myself looking up from my work I see Aor, still focused, her hair out of her face and her body tilted down at the work in front of her. I can stare down her shirt and see her perfectly shaped cleavage but I'm more in awe of the look of focus on her face.

As my list of tasks begins to get crossed off, I hear Aor begin to clear her throat to get my attention. I look up and I see her pulling her golden hair down, freeing it from her bun and watch as she shakes her hair loose. "So, what'd you get up to last night Roo? I know Yui had some big plans for you, but she wouldn't say what."

I smile and tell her Yui came by and spent the night, nothing more. Not giving Aor any real gossip seems like the smartest route, especially considering Piya's very direct instructions. Not giving Aor anything juicy also seems to excite and command Aor's attention.

A flurry of questions start to come from my curvaceous business partner. Questions about Piya, questions about what Yui had planned, each one I evade only seems to tantalize her more until she finally says "You know I'm going to find out whatever it is you're hiding from me somehow, dont you?"

"It won't be from me Aor. I know that much," I say with a wink, earning a pouty scowl from Aor.

"Whatever, I'll find out from your girlfriend this weekend. It's my asshole ex-husband's first weekend with custody of the little guy so you're going to be alone for the weekend so I don't have to be. Yui and some of the girls are going to be coming over and you better believe I'm going--to know-- everything!"

Just then my phone starts to buzz and ring, I look at the screen and see the notification: "Video call: Piya & Yui."

I go to answer it, my thumb holding over the green circle as I hear Aor quickly get up from her desk and move towards mine.

"Now who's calling you?" Aor asks, hinting at knowing leaning over my desk to peek at my phone.
