"Well?" Sarah asked, placing a hand on her hip, clearly annoyed. The bracelets on her slim wrist clanged softly against one another with her movements, making Kevin's ears perk up ever so slightly.

"I told you, I will look into it," Kevin stated once more as he flipped through the mountain of files on his desk. Sarah let out a huff of annoyance and Kevin rolled his eyes as he tightened his grip on the pen in his hand. "I have to go through the reports and statements. I just can't…" he trailed off, biting his lower lip and looking away from the seventeen-year-old high school senior.

"Can't what?" She growled as she kicked her foot out and waved her hands in the air. "I have worked for you for the better half of four years - ever since I was a freshman in high school!" She yelled, clearly exasperated. "I am one hell of an employee - if I may say so myself - not to mention that I am one of your friends - even though that's beside the point, but still!" She yelled louder. It was amazing that the tone on her voice has yet to shatter the windows in the small, but spacious, office.

"Sar-"

"I come in on the weekends. I pick up extra shifts. I stay later than I should," she lists off. "I even lied for you once!" She yelled and Kevin jumped slightly in his chair, a short pain shot through the lower half of his body. "I am a good employee! Shit! Make me employee of the month!" Kevin couldn't help but feel guilty when he looked up and saw that Sarah's face was completely red with her blonde bangs pointing in every direction as her ponytail jumped with every movement of her body.

"I never said you weren't a good employee," Kevin emphasized, dropping the pen and running a hand through his hair. Kevin's face too was slightly heating up. It was evident that he was slightly uncomfortable with the entire ordeal - or rather situation - for his neck was turning bright red and small sweet droplets were forming alongside his hairline. "I want to give you a ra-"

"I have prom and everything coming up!" Sarah cut him off. Shifting her weight from one hip to another, she began to pace back and forth, talking to herself more than Kevin himself. "I know it may seem like I'm not the 'prom type' of girl but trust me, I can look good in a dress!" She waved her slim polished finger in the air. " I also have senior activities coming up plus college visits - those aren't cheap by the way," she added. "I can't expect my family to pay for everything - when we both know that Ed would jump at the moment - but I am almost an adult so I have to start acting like one," she rambled.

Kevin opened his mouth to speak but quickly closed it as a rush of heat spread through his body, almost making him gasp, but making him bite down on his lower lip. Kevin ran his hands through his hair once more before shoving the files away from him, no longer able to fully concentrate.

"I told you, Sarah. I will look into it," he stuttered, looking down and trying his best not to shove the teenager out of his office. For a moment - and only a moment - his breath caught in his throat and his vision blurred, making any logic fly out the window. On the inside, his body was on fire and his blood was boiling in ways that made him squirm and his throat dry in an instant. "Sarah, please.." he trailed off, no longer trusting himself to speak as he jerked slightly in his chair. "I'll look into it," he pleaded.

"Kevin!" She exclaimed again, stopping her tirade through his office. In an instant, she opened her mouth to continue her rant but all her words fell on deaf ears. Sitting behind the desk, Kevin's ears were ringing as all his senses began to flee out the window. It was as if everything around him was at a heightened state and all he could do was sit back and bear it.

It was too much.

"Alright!" Kevin jerked forward, slamming his hands down on the table. Sarah jumped back but the look she gave him could make any man quake. "I," his voice wavered slightly, making him cough to sound more assertive than he currently felt. "I will see what I can," - his voice broke - "do but you have to be patient." Sarah opened her mouth to object but Kevin held his hand up. "I am not saying no," he reminds her. "I am simply asking you to give me some time to make it work," she reassured her. "Just give me some time, okay?" He damn near begged.

Sarah starred Kevin down but soon began to nod her head and bob on her feet.

"Really?" She asked, hope gleaming in her eyes.

"Really," he repeated and she squealed.

"Thank you, Kevin!" She yelled, clasping her hands together. "I won't let you down!" She jumped in pure joy, her boots clicking against the floor. "Thank you!" She yelled again, turning on her heels and running out the office. "I'll make you proud," was the last thing Kevin heard as the door closed with a definite click.

In an instant, Kevin slid away from his desk, reaching under it and pulling Eddward up off his knees before laying him on his desk. Smiling, Kevin trailed his hands up Eddward's legs and up to his arms, making the raven-haired man shiver beneath him. "You dirty little…" Kevin trailed off as he bent over and placed a kiss on Eddward's collarbone. "I cannot believe…"

"You told me you locked the door," Eddward gasped, wrapping his hands around Kevin's neck and jerking his hips. Kevin chuckled slightly as he trailed his tongue across Eddward's collarbone.

"I lied," he admitted and Eddward rolled his eyes. "I just couldn't wait to have you under my hands," he emphasized by gripping Eddward through his jeans and receiving a moan that was pure music to his ears. Leaning over the man of his dreams, Kevin placed a gentle kiss on his lips. "Let's play a game," he began and Eddward hummed, sadness in his voice from losing contact with Kevin's lips.

"What game?" He joked.

"Let's see how loud I can make you scream," Kevin's husky voice made Eddward shiver in his place. His deep, blue, ocean colored eyes began to shine in ways that Kevin would forever cherish. "What do you say?" The redhead chuckled and Eddward nodded in such an eager manner it was amazing that they still had their clothes on.

"You better give her that raise," Eddward chuckled when Kevin dropped to his knees, laughing.

"Looks like I'll have to work a little overtime," Kevin winked and Eddward laughed before he gasped and threw his head back against the table.

Let's just say, Sarah looked simply beautiful in her peach-colored prom dress that spring.
