"Oh Zeus!" Sarah was staring into her puppies unusual green eyes. " I don't know what I should do, do I wear something different today – possibly showing I like him – or do I wear what I do every day? Oh this is so confusing!"
She slumped on the bed and shoved her head in her hands. She had never felt this way before. Not since Richard anyway. She violently pushed the thought of Rich out of her mind and tugged Seth into it, For ages she had liked Seth's work but seeing him in the flesh brought up so many stupid feelings. They were school girl feelings.
In an instant she decided that she'd wear what she wore every single day... deep blue jeans, a plaid t-shirt and converse trainers.
She wasn't going to allow stupid feelings to get in the way.
When Sarah arrived at work, she saw Seth's Aston Martin parked across the way from her old banger of a car. She took a deep breath and stepped inside the FOX building. Her breathing quickened when she reached her desk, her heart made a sudden leap from her chest to her throat.
For the first 10 minutes she busied herself by straightening out her desk and sending a few short messages.
Then the perfect little bubble was burst when Seth strolled out of the elevator. He walked past her and held his office door open and said,
"Sarah. Could you come in here for a moment please?"
Oh god! What have I done? Did I say anything yesterday that could have offended him? I don't think so... I hope not!
Sarah's thoughts whirled around her head as she sat down in front of Seth's desk. The chair she sat on was comfy and she wanted to sink into it but something about the situation made her become rigid and shaken up.
For a moment Seth stared into her eyes but she wouldn't make eye contact. She was scared he would burn her eyes out with those smouldering good looks of his.
"Sarah-"
"Seth I-"
They both spoke at the same time and at the same time they went a deep shade of red. Seth ran his stress ridden hands through his tousled hair. He gestured for her to go first.
"OK. Erm, Seth. I'm not too sure why I'm in here but I swear if I've done anything wrong then I'm truly sorry and it was an accident and I promise I'll make it up to you if I have... to!"
Suddenly Sarah noticed that her eyes were very wide, she was shaking and she had said all of that without taking a breath for fresh air.
At first Seth carried on staring at her. But then his lips pulled down at the corners and then he began to roar with laughter. He almost fell off his chair because he was laughing that much. Sarah didn't find anything funny apart from his boyish nature. She hid her own laughter as well as she could.
Seth clambered back his composure and said with a mouthful of giggles,
"I'm so sorry Sarah. I wasn't laughing at you... just the way you seemed so nervous. No that's not why I called you in here, the reason I did was because yesterday I felt we didn't speak to each other half as much as I would have liked -" Seth cleared his throat and took a deep breath "- So I am proposing that I get to know you and you, I because I feel that you are an incredibly interesting woman Sarah!"
Sarah began to blush. Damn... I think I'm going to faint!
"Well that's a relief! I thought I was in trouble... Erm. If it isn't to much I have an idea. Tonight I have booked some time at a local place where there is a stage. It was just going to be me there but you could tag along and watch me play... Only if you'd like that is!" She quickly added, not to sure that Seth would take the offer.
"Absolutely! Can I say I'll meet you there after work?" A giant grin spread across his delightful face. Quickly Sarah nodded.
She jotted down an address and then they both got up to leave.
They reached the door and were so wrapped up in talking that they didn't notice both hands were reaching for the same door handle. Their hands touched. An electric shock ran through both of them. Energy soared in the room and their eyes locked with each others. It was like they both forgot how to breath.
Sarah hadn't realised until she could almost feel his perfect breath on her unmoved ones that he was leaning in to kiss her. Her hands coiled around his neck as there lips were about to touch. Hers were trembling. They were so close.
BING BING! BING BING! When the phone at Seth's desk began to ring.
Seth exhaled loudly and stormed over to pick up the phone. Sarah took this opportunity to yank open the door and as she went out of it shout back, "See you there later!" .
At lunch she was talking with the other assistants when out of a room, writers and extras rushed out towards the canteen. They were chatting among themselves and laughing too. It looked like they had just finished there latest table read for Family Guy. Then out of the room came the main cast. Mila Kunis, Mike Henry, Alex Borstein, Seth Green and Seth MacFarlane all came trotting out of the room.
Seth looked at Sarah and commanded, "Sarah, go to my office and get my bag!"
She shot him a glare and he added, "Please." With a nod Sarah got up, leaving her lunch on the counter and marched her way towards Seth's office.
Quietly the door creaked open as she entered and she instantly saw his black bag patiently leaning against his desk.
Sarah walked straight past it and sat sat his desk. She began to turn the chair around a few times until she noticed the draws in the desk. First she looked around the room curiously, then she pulled open the very top draw and peered inside. In the draw was the usual, pens, pencils and all that shit. Then she moved on to the other draws and found the normal again. When she reached for the last draw she didn't hear the door open.
In that bottom draw was a bound leather book. Sarah took it out and undone the ribbon around it. Inside sat Seth's neat scrawl of writing covering 75% of the pages. She began to read. It made for a very interesting read. She got the main gist of the book in the first few pages.
"What the hell do you think you are doing!" Boomed Seth as the door slammed shut. Sarah's head flipped up from the book, she shot up, ran out of the room, straight past him saying she was sorry.
You are such a dick Sarah! Any chance of kissing him now is fucked up... you prick!
All Sarah now wanted to do was go home, say hello to Zeus and lie on her cold bed and fall asleep crying. But some part of her really wanted to go to the stage she had booked. Not only to play piano again but to see if he would show up after what had happened. Or maybe he'd turn up just to tell her that she was fired.
There was only one way to find out...
