A continuation of my previous story and my second one I've written.
As I said, any and all feedback is appreciated. I hope you enjoy.

I let out a long sigh, tired from filling and filling out the paperwork I had planted on my desk when I came in today. It has been over a month since my boyfriend and I had our fun with the devices, and while we still talk about it, we never have had the time to go further. We had so much on our minds that night, but only enough time to get one thing done. I smile softly as I get to the last folder, my day at work coming to an end.
I hear my phone buzz in my pocket and pull it out. I got a message from him, my boyfriend. "Hey Hun~ I was about to go on break. How is the work on your end?" How sweet of him. I finish the paper I was working on at the moment and reply back. "Almost done. How's work going?"
"Ohh, Great. We just got a new model, larger size and simpler for the public." Right, I forgot about that. The newest version, Beta Version 2.10 as it's been called so far, has been finalized and ready to be tested. "Glad to hear. I hope it works well." I remember that my copy should be done soon, and I'm excited to use it. Not just for the obvious reasons, but also it should lead to a larger pay and I always feel good advancing the research.
I hear a knock at my office door and look up. I put my phone away and go back to my paper. "Please, come in." I say to them. My co-worker, the same one to see me the other night, comes in with a small pile of papers and a large box. "Greeting Gabriel, I have exciting news."
"Wait, let me guess. The newest Beta is ready?" I ask sarcastically, trying to hide my obvious excitement. "Bingo, Big Guy. I understand your day is almost over, but we do need you resign some forms as well as a few new ones to do with this model. It's urgent, but doesn't need to be done now if you'd rather go home."
"No no, I'll take care of them now. I don't mind to much." I say, closing the other folder and moving to the side for room on the desk. He puts the box to the side and leaves the papers for me. "Fantastic, I'll be in the lab. See you in a bit." I nod as he's about to leave.
"Ohh, Gabriel. Don't 'Stub your Toe' to soon, Kay?" I feel my face light up and turn my attention down to the sheets. "S-Sure, thank you." He chuckles deeply and leaves for good. I cough softly and file through the papers, already remembering the old ones and signing quickly. I reach the new manual and flip through the newest additions.
*BING* I flinch lightly at the sudden noise and look at the box. *BING* The device is sending me a notice. After I quickly open it, I notice a small red light is flashing and making that noise. *BING* It goes again and I look though the features. "The hell is it doing?" I mumble to myself and try to work it out.
I reach the third page and figure it out. "Ohh, it's a reading. My partner's device must be linked to this one in some way." I sit back down and rest it on the larger stand it came with for me. I switch it on and it shows basically a plane white expanse of energy, serving as just like a blank screen for a computer. I pull out my phone and send a decide to send a message. "Hey, Hun, are you trying to link our devices together?"
I hear a small burst and change in energy and a small wave of hot air rolls over my arm. "Of course~" I hear and jump in surprise.
"Geez, don't jump me like that man." I say, much to his amusement. "Hehe, sorry" I smile kindly and sit down. The new version is much better, allowing for quicker access and with the larger size, it doesn't feel like you're talking with someone like they're on FaceTime or Skype. Now, it feels like you're actually there and it gives you a much larger image, being at least three by two feet this time.
I chuckle deeply and rub my neck awkwardly. "So, you enjoying your break so far?" I ask kindly. He nods and pulls out a small lunch. "Yeah, i thought I'd spend it with you~" He replies with a kindly, but silly smile on his face.
