Disclaimer: Not mine, just playing games with them.

Summary: Part six of a series of one shots, prompted by memories-and-musings on tumblr, filling in the lack of Vanity (there is no Vanessa next week) going forward in the Ketamine story line.

Charity tries to distract Vanessa from her worries about the RCVS visit by taking her lunch at the vets. It's also sort of prompted by trotter123 who wanted a 'table scene' like the one hinted at on twitter for next week.

There were a hundred and one things Charity should be doing on her day off. She'd managed the grocery shopping this morning but that was about it. Then she'd gotten distracted by a certain blonde vet.

Just as Charity had been driving past the vets she'd seen Vanessa returning from a call out. The other woman hadn't spotted her but just the sight of Vanessa had been enough to make Charity abandon the rest of her plans. They hadn't seen each other last night as Charity had been on a late again and Vanessa was looking after Leo for Rhona, so she could spent time with Pete. It was the first night in five days that they hadn't spent together, and it had left Charity feeling oddly empty.

After hurriedly unpacking her shopping into the kitchen (half of which was probably in the wrong place) she headed straight back out, first stop the cafe, and then onto the Vets. The timing was perfect as it was the beginning of their lunch break. Paddy and Rhona's cars were missing, which suggested they were both out at an appointment. The front door would be locked for an hour, so she headed around to the back and let herself in through the staff entrance.

Vanessa wasn't immediately within sight, but she could hear her bashing about in another room. Charity hid the coffee holder and take out bag behind her back and waited for Vanessa to return from whatever she was doing. It was a matter of seconds before her girlfriend appeared, green vet overalls in hand, and tossed them over the chair by the desk. The smaller blonde didn't look like she was having the best of days but then she spotted Charity and her face lit up.

"Hey is everything okay?" Vanessa greeted.

"I missed you last night" Charity shrugged.

They had gone past the point now when there was any point hiding what she felt. Vanessa would see straight through any bull shit excuse anyway. Her girlfriend stepped towards her, eyes twinkling mischievously, before stopping just out of reach.

"So, you thought you'd pop in on my break to what? Have a cheeky one on the desk again?" the blonde vet laughed.

Charity rolled her eyes but couldn't prevent a smile creeping across her features. That Monday's antics had been marred by the stealing of the tranquiliser, but it couldn't wipe the fond memories. She had known she was driving Vanessa wild all day and her tiny blonde rocket woman had practically exploded with lust when they were alone in this very room at the end of the day.

Charity was amazed they hadn't left a trail of destruction along the way but somehow the posers on the wall, the reception desk and the chair had survived the experience. It was only Charity that had been left with claw marks as Vanessa had clung to her, digging her fingernails deep into the taller woman's back to urge her on. Charity hadn't required any urging, she never did when it came to Vanessa, but it had certainly made things very heated.

"I wouldn't say no babe" she grinned, "but only if you'd like the cheeky coffee and food I brought you to go cold."

Charity brought her hands from behind her back to reveal the drinks holder and brown paper bag. There was a softening of Vanessa's expression as the vet closed the distance between them and took both items out of Charity's hands. She watched with keen interest as her girlfriend placed them down on the top of the low storage cupboard that Charity was stood next to. She really had only come for lunch but the glint in Vanessa's eye suggested the other woman had different plans.

Vanessa grasped the lapels of her jacket and started reversing, holding eye contact and drawing Charity with her until the vet's bum came into contact with the desk. They came to a sudden stand still, hips colliding...and then Vanessa's mouth was on hers. It was passionate and sloppy, tongues vying for dominance as their hands danced all over each over. It left Charity in no doubt that Vanessa had missed her too. The vet had said that she 'lost her brain' when she was within five metres of the landlady...Charity often felt like her control was seriously slipping when Vanessa was around.

The blonde vet peeled Charity's black jacket off. It hit the tiled floor with a soft thud. Her hands scrambled at Vanessa's navy blouse, undoing the buttons as quickly as she could and revealing smooth skin. Vanessa buried her hands in her hair, finger nails lightly scraping against her scalp. Charity hooked her hands under the smaller woman's thighs and lifted her up onto the desk. Charity ducked her head, tearing her mouth away from Vanessa's so she could kiss her way down the other woman's neck and chest. She loved the way Vanessa's warm skin felt under her lips, loved the taste of her.

Charity's mouth moved downwards, freeing one of Vanessa's breasts from the confines of the blue bra she was wearing, and sucking a bruise into the pale skin. She hadn't marked Vanessa before, had never felt she had the right to claim possession over the other woman. It was done in the heat of the moment, but the result was pleasing. Her girlfriend moaned her name, encouraging her on by tugging her head closer by the roots.

"Oh my god what are you two..." came a horrified female voice from behind them.

Charity and Vanessa broke apart immediately at the sound of Rhona's voice. Charity turned her body to face the other vet, careful to keep Vanessa's semi naked state hidden behind her. Normally she wouldn't be too bothered being caught in the act and if it had been Paddy she may have even seen the funny side of it. Unfortunately, this was Vanessa's best friend that they were currently scarring, and the brunette vet already thought that she was a terrible influence.

"I brought us some lunch" Charity blurted, poking her finger towards the items from the cafe. Rhona looked in the direction she was pointing and frowned.

"Well could you stick to eating that at the table please and not Vanessa" the brunette vet deadpanned, before walking back out of the room.

Charity snorted at the remark, clamping her hand over her mouth to prevent herself actually laughing.

"Oh my god" Vanessa groaned from behind her.

Charity turned back to face her girlfriend, who instantly buried her face in the crook of Charity's neck. It wasn't quite quick enough for Charity to miss the pink flush across the smaller woman's cheeks. The vet's shoulders were bobbing up and down as she struggled to contain her own amusement. Charity wrapped her arms around the smaller woman's shoulders and the two of them burst out into a fit of giggles.

"Your vet kink is getting out of hand" Vanessa chuckled.

"My vet kink?!" she protested, "I just planned on eating a ham and cheese toastie!"

Ness giggled again, and Charity pressed a kiss to her temple. She couldn't believe they had been disturbed especially after getting THAT worked up. She felt like she was on fire and from the heat radiating off Vanessa she suspected the feeling was mutual. How the hell was she meant to wait until Johnny was in bed before they could continue. Charity would have to spend the rest of the day with crossed legs...or take matters into her own hands. She glanced at the wall clock to see quite how long that wait would be and realised (with glee) that it was still only twenty past twelve.

"You still have forty minutes..." Charity noted, "I don't suppose you want to take the lunch to go do you?"

Vanessa started fastening her shirt buttons back up as quickly as they had opened them. She'd take that as a yes.
