Charlie sat at her makeshift desk in her little home office, absentmindedly browsing twitter on her phone as she pretended to pay attention to the video call that she was reluctantly attending. She sighed with boredom as Joseph from human resources continued going through his bullet points, and she glanced up at her laptop screen to see who else was on the verge of falling asleep. Her eyes settled on one guy from accounts who was quite cute, he too was sitting slumped in his chair with a glazed over look. Charlie was about to go back to her scrolling when her eyes widened with surprise, and her mouth opened in shock.
'What the...'
She could swear she'd just seen a woman walk behind the cute guy, but she'd crossed across the monitor in a flash, too quickly for Charlie to take in too many details. The one thing she thought she had noticed, even though now she worried that she might be hallucinating, was that whoever this chick was, she'd been completely naked. No one else in the meeting showed any sign that they'd just seen anything out of the ordinary, but the cute had guy turned to his side and grinned at someone off screen, making Charlie wonder if she really was going mad or if she'd just seen something that she wasn't supposed to.

Hayden and Maria met a couple of years ago via a mutual friend who introduced them to each other at a bar, and after hooking up that very night they had quickly made things official and never looked back. Both were young, attractive, intelligent socialites and they'd quickly proved to be a perfect match, swiftly falling very much in love. They originally lived on opposite sides of the city which was a real pain so after fourteen months of dating Hayden moved into Maria's house share. Soon they outgrew that room and they decided to upgrade, so after a few months of searching they finally found a modestly sized apartment they liked the look of in a newbuild in East London. It was four stories up in a block of flats that overlooked the Thames, and they'd just finished moving their stuff across to the new place when the pandemic hit.
In truth they weren't too badly affected. Hayden worked in finance as an accountant so he could still do everything he needed to from his laptop, as could Maria. She was a head-hunter for a recruitment company and they both knew they were fortunate not to have to worry about being made redundant, even if their new working environments weren't ideal. Normally they'd both station themselves in the joint kitchen-living room area, Maria typically taking the sofa while Hayden would sit at a small desk that he'd set up against the opposite wall. Both of them had to waste hours of their lives a week in interminable video conferences and if their meetings ever overlapped then one of them would go and take their call sitting on the bed.
Life quickly settled into a very dull routine. They were only allowed out once a day each and so they tried to make the most of it by making flasks of coffee and going for morning walks before they checked in online for work. Soon they'd explored all of the new area that they could and the cold rainy weather meant finding the motivation to get dressed and go outside each day was getting tougher. All too frequently they'd find themselves rolling out of bed and heading straight to their computers, taking a break for lunch were they'd cook together, then finishing up for the afternoon about five. In the evenings they'd drink wine and watch tv, before retiring early for the only bit of lockdown they really enjoyed, having a lot more time to experiment in the bedroom.
Their sex life definitely helped keep their spirits high but the truth was being locked up together for twenty four hours a day was not easy. Luckily they rarely ever fought and were both relatively easy going people, but they were definitely beginning to feel the strain of weeks without seeing any of their friends or family. They made sure to keep in touch with everyone with messages and videocalls but it wasn't quite the same. It would have been nice if their work provided some sort of distraction but in reality they were both incredibly bored by their jobs, without the normal buzz and banter that came with being in the office it was very tiring staring at their screens all day, and the only time they got to see their colleagues was during the worst part of all, the mindless meetings. Both of them slogged their way through them, their microphones almost always muted, as they daydreamed and ignored their managers droning along in the background.
Things began to change for them one Saturday morning. The previous night they'd had their first significant lockdown argument which had ended with Hayden sleeping on the sofa. It hadn't been about anything serious, it was more just a result of weeks of building frustration and probably made worse by slightly too much wine with dinner. It ended with a screaming match and both of them refusing to apologise, and they went off to bed angry with each other. Hayden's mood wasn't improved in the morning as he had to wake up early despite the fact that it was the weekend. Irritatingly his firm had decided the pandemic was an opportunity to take on more clients and the overtime pay was too good for him to resist, so often he ended up only taking one day off a week. It wasn't ideal but it's not like there was anything to do on their days off anyway. As his phone's alarm beeped at him he groggily rolled over and sat up, blearily rubbing his eyes and regretting those extra few glasses of merlot. He put on the kettle and went to stand on their little balcony for a minute, letting the harsh morning sunlight and the chill of the breeze wake him up a bit. With one coffee immediately downed and another by his side he settled himself down at his desk and mentally prepared himself for the nine o'clock video conference. He realised with a start that he still needed to get dressed but then looked down and realised that he'd fallen asleep still in his shirt from yesterday. He smoothed it out a bit and found the tie stuffed under one of the sofa's cushions, then as he finished tying and straightening the knot the meeting began. He waved hello to everyone and forced a fake smile, then slumped down in his chair as he waited for it to be over.
An hour later and the damn thing was still going on, and to add insult to injury Hayden was actually having to contribute. Down the corridor Maria's headache had forced her awake too, and she briefly wondered where her boyfriend was before remembering what had happened. She'd slept well despite everything, sprawled out in their double bed, and after finishing her bottle of water on the stand she decided to go for a shower to perk herself up. She slept nude ninety percent of the time so she wrapped herself in a kimono and headed to the bathroom. Back in the house share she'd often walk around in the buff when it was just her and Hayden at home, but this flat was full of floor to ceiling windows which looked straight out onto the apartments opposite them, so unfortunately she had to be more careful. After a luxuriously long shower she felt energised and was about to go and get changed into her comfy pyjamas for the day when she decided she couldn't be bothered. She didn't feel guilty about last night's argument but she also didn't hold any resentment towards Hayden, she knew they were just a bit bored and stressed and things had finally bubbled over. She put her robe back on and headed straight to the kitchen to go and patch things up with him.
As she entered the room she looked with amusement at her dishevelled boyfriend, from the waist up he looked vaguely put together but his boxers and furry slippers, hidden from the camera's sight underneath the desk, told a different tale. They'd both made a point of trying to keep to a routine whilst trapped inside to try and emulate their old lives, and that included dressing smartly each day as they worked, but today that had clearly gone out the window for Hayden. He sat with his back to the wall so he could use it as a neutral background and he raised his eyes to nod a silent greeting to Maria as she walked through the door.
'I think that's a good point Robert,' he continued to talk as she smiled good morning and went to the sink. 'And I suppose from my end it's just how much we want to commit to that project, or really prioritise the new accounts.' Maria shook her head as he continued to drone his corporate spiel, they both knew he was making all of this up on the spot but that was the level of professionalism they'd had to resort to these days. She was just as guilty in her meetings of putting in a half arsed effort and she felt sorry for Hayden who looked ready to go back to sleep.
'I mean check in with the guys from Germany, see if they've got any preferences.'
She finished fixing herself a cup of tea and some breakfast and wondered if she should wait for him to finish up his call so they could chat about last tonight. He didn't seem to be slowing down though as he continued to answer the questions that were being thrown his way, so she balanced her plate of eggs on toast on top of her mug and walked to the doorway. When she got there she had a fun idea and decided to brighten up Hayden's morning a bit, so she spun round to face him and with her free hand she loosened the lapel of her robe and pulled it open, letting her impressive breasts fall free.
'The only reservation I would have about that is, uhh...' Hayden had averted his eyes from his screen to watch his girlfriend leave and he was greeted with the unexpected but very welcome sight of her shaking her chest flirtatiously at him, a coy smile on her lips. 'Uhh, to make sure that...' He shook his head at her with a rueful smile and forced his eyes back to the webcam. 'To make sure that we don't leave ourselves spread too thin.'
Happy that her work was done Maria tucked herself back in and sauntered back to the bedroom, adding a sexy sway to her hips as she knew Hayden wouldn't be able to resist one last furtive glance. She ate her food in bed watching netflix on her laptop, simultaneously scrolling through her phone distractedly. She had begun to doze off again when finally the door burst open and Hayden came in, unbuttoning his shirt as he jumped straight onto the bed.
'God your poor thing, that took ages!'
'Honestly it was ok until you showed up, then all I could think about was getting off.' He crawled on all fours over to her and straddled her waist, making her laugh.
'Getting off, seriously?'
