Chapter Twenty Five
Mila's POV
As Mila walked into her house, she slammed the door behind her. She was livid. She shoved her keys into her purse and rammed it into the closet and stalked up the stairs to her room.
Stepping into her room, she remembered the fake smiles, laughs and hugs she had dished out to Calleigh earlier. She made a face and rolled her eyes remembering her. Seth had done it again. He had failed to see what was right in front of him almost every day, once again, and had gone and snatched up another mistake.
Ever since Mila had met MacFarlane in 1999, she always had a thing for him. At first it started out as a schoolgirl crush. However as she progressed into her late teens and early twenties, it became more than a crush. Being around him so often recording and working, but also going out with the group had made her fall deeply in love with this man. When Family Guy got cancelled in 2002, she took it as an opportunity to try and get past this. However, the three years apart only made her heart grow fonder.
Ever since he became more popular, he went through woman after woman after woman, each of them leaving him more heartbroken than the last, and it broke Mila's heart just as much as Seth's. No one but herself knew about her love for her boss, and that sometimes proved to be more difficult than not having him because she had no one to talk to or gain advice from.
Changing into a sweater and comfy jeans, she called up Alex for a girl's night. She needed someone to help her forget the pain. The women agreed to meet at Mila's at 7:30, in half an hour. Mila didn't know what she was planning on doing tonight, but she had a feeling it would include a lot of alcohol and a lot of confessing.
Alex had always been like a second mother to her ever since she joined the Family Guy team. She acted as mother, counsellor, best friend and even a shoulder to cry on. The pair knew each other like the back of their hand. Picking up the phone again and ordering Chinese, Mila couldn't help but feel uneasy about finally telling someone her deepest and darkest secret.
One thing she was certain of was that she would never envy Calleigh, and if she thought she could toy with Seth's heart, she had another thing coming.
Alex's POV
Alex bounded up the porch and turned the key in the lock in a rush to get through and answer the phone. Two, three rings went by and she had one more before it went to the answering machine. Bounding through the door and throwing her bag to the side, she slipped and caught her balance. 'Holy shit.' She muttered.
She Superman-leapt through the air onto the couch and picked up the phone. 'Hello?' She answered with as much breath as she could muster. It was Mila.
As the conversation progressed and the women made plans to get together later, Alex couldn't help but feel sorry for the poor girl, she had been in love with Seth pretty much since the moment she had met him. Mila had no clue that she knew, but how could she not? The loving looks, friendly touches and willingness to do whatever it took for him to notice her.
She was lucky that the men of the Family Guy cast were as clueless as socks, or else she would probably be teased to no end. 'Alright sweetheart, I'll be there in about half an hour. Bye.'
Alex felt horrible for Mila and the struggle she's gone through for the past decade, but felt even worse for her when she remembered the major chemistry happening between Seth and Calleigh. Obviously she loved Calleigh just like another daughter. She was so sweet and was genuine with Seth. She had a feeling this was going to be more than just a 2 week fling.
