In bed Aki held Miku close. Both a little sweaty and Aki kissing her passionately. He didn't want to break the new found mood by more talking. All at once like a dam breaking the passion flooded over him and washed them both away. 

"Mmmm..." Her body intertwined with his as she laid there. Her head ache now replaced by a euphoric rush of endorphins. Her breathing slowed but her heart still raced a little. "Still want interns?" She playfully pressed against him. 

Aki rolled his eyes "Its not like that!" Aki got up from the bed and moved to the bathroom. Reaching in to turn on the water to bathe. "I have to answer to people and I can't do two or three conference calls, set up appointments, have lunch, and do a presentation all at the same time!" 

Aki didn't hear the response or Miku get out of bed. Pressing against him from behind. "No you don't. Why don't you take some time off? Then relaxed you can..."

"That's not funny. They would replace me if I did that then where would we be? We've been over this! We can't With both of us working we can pay off the house in half the time then maybe you can stop working and do other things." 

"I need to work I'm not staying in this house going out of my mind being bored. I worked hard earning that degree not to use it and we both have debt from school to pay off." Miku waited crossed arms for the water. 

"So do I! Neither debts will be paid if I take a vacation. Starting Monday I'll have to choose at least one to help me through the day. It's no longer my choice. I either get some help or look for another job. Getting fired isn't the type of thing that other employers want in a worker." Aki passed the shower head to her as he started to bathe. 

"Then look for another job while you're still there. that way you can quit and maybe move to..." He laughed before getting sprayed with water.

"This is cut throat. If I did that then I would be just as blacklisted. That type of person never moves up, because the company has no trust in them." Aki couldn't help watching Miku while they bathed. 

Miku noticed, and played it up. "Change is good. You need to consider that you have hit the top in that company and need a change."

"Ha..." He had a retort but lost it following a trail of soap from Miku's hair. 

Miku used it to her advantage and kept talking. "See, Like this soap there are lots of avenues to get to where you want to go. each path is different and not a strait line." Arching her body to create different soap trails. 

Aki rinsed and left before his resolve gave out. "You're wrong. Sexy, but wrong. I can turn this around and then get a promotion, but I need help and [i]it's[/i] happening. So you'll see after the first week things will be different."

"That's what I [i] don't[/i] want! Just use an answering machine." Miku rinsed her hair a final time before getting out. 

Aki finished getting dressed, and moved into the kitchen rummaging through the fridge. Settling on a beer. It was gonna be another long weekend.
