Holy shit

Katara's POV

I opened my eyes to the sound of my alarm clock on the other side of the room. Its repetitive beeping started to annoy me and I slammed it off. Ugh, last night was way too long of a shift. The party had lasted long into the night and into the morning. I glanced at the clock again, 9:45. I had a couple of hours to get ready for my interview and to get lunch. I reached over to my night stand and looked at my phone. I had two messages.

Reluctantly I got out of bed and took my phone with me, turning on the kettle for my morning coffee. I opened the message from Azula,

Good morning 'Tara, good luck on your interview today. Text me when you wake up so we can figure out a day to hang out! We need to go clubbing!

I took out my favorite blue mug and poured myself some coffee before replying.

Morning! Thank you I hope I get it! *fingers crossed* What day were you thinking?

I set my coffee down onto my bathroom sink and looked in my mirror. My hair was a mess, my waves had expanded at least two or three inches out from my face and I had dry skin. I took a sip of my coffee before brushing my hair. I grabbed some oil and ran it through my hair using my hands. I looked in the mirror. Hair down, hair up…hair down. I decided down would be the better option, I took out some mouse and ran that through to keep my waves tame. I took out my make up bag and searched through it. I went for a neutral look, keeping my eye shadows to browns and gold's and used a bit of mascara. Then brushed my teeth and headed back into the kitchen. I opened my fridge noticing how bare it was. I sighed, guess today was just some eggs and toast. I looked to my phone again and noticed I still hadn't looked at the other message, it was from my brother.

Hey sis, wanted to wish you luck on your interview today! I was actually wondering if you could come out with me sometime this weekend. I need your help.

I texted him back while I waited for my toast to pop and my eggs to scramble. Sure thing, what do you need help with though?

I heard the toast pop up and I ran over placing them on a plate before walking back to my eggs. After a few minutes they were done too and I put them on top of my bread and took a bite. My phone rang twice,

I'll let you know after your interview! You need to stay focused, oh and try not to piss him off. You know you can be a little hardheaded sometimes.

I rolled my eyes before texting him again. Sokka, I swear I won't mess this up, shut up and go to work. I thought dad asked you to go in today.

I clicked back to my menu and went down back to Azula's text.

Hmmm, how about tomorrow night? Then if you get the job we can use it as a celebration. I'm pretty sure you will get hired though. My brother is stupid, but he isn't an idiot to potential. I gotta go, my dad's forcing me to go to one of his meetings …kill me.

I finished my breakfast not to long after reading her text and walked to my closet. I had the perfect dress. It was a halter neck, mostly grey with a blue bottom line. I grabbed it and took out my grey pumps. I walked over to my full mirror and looked at my outfit. I looked pretty hot not going to lie. I moved all of my important stuff into my blue coach bag and grabbed my keys. My apartment was about thirty minutes away from the place Azula had mentioned. That was with traffic, and I still had to go pick up a package for my dad. I looked to my dash board for the time. 11:05, I wouldn't have time. I shot a quick text to my dad about picking it up afterwards and rushed to the building.

After dealing with the lunch rush I had made it to the building at 11:40, I figured it was best to be early. Make a good impression. I was shocked when I walked through the front doors. The lobby was huge, and open. There was a circular desk in the middle and a line of elevators behind it. I walked towards the receptionist and looked around. Azula wasn't kidding when she said it would be bigger on the inside. The woman at the desk was petite with big brown eyes and blonde hair. She greeted me with an overly excited smile.

"Hiya my name is Tracy! What can I do for you today?" I smiled warmly at her, first impressions were always the most important.

"My names Katara South. I'm here for an interview at 12." Tracy looked through her computer before pointing to the elevators behind her.

"Okay Ms. South, Mr. Azulon will see you on the top floor, just go to the elevators here and press 40. Then you will walk straight through to the office, Ms. Bei Fong will be waiting for you."

"Thank you. Have a nice day." Tracy beamed back at me and waved.

"You too, and good luck Ms. South." I thanked her again and made my way to the elevator. I pressed level 40 just as instructed and clutched my bag in my hands. I hadn't realized how nervous I was until now. I took three deep breaths. I'll be fine. The doors opened to a small room with a woman at a desk. I walked over and she looked up from her computer.

"Ah, Ms. South?" I nodded. She took a few seconds to look at me. I could only pray that I looked the part. She was a beautiful woman, her dark hair and bright green eyes were her most attractive parts. She smiled before looking at the clock. "You're here earlier than we thought. I'll tell Mr. Zuko you're here." She gestured for me to sit down and went to her headpiece.

"Sparky she's here." I looked to her, Sparky? Was she talking about Zuko? I looked to the big frosted glass door. He was on the other side, probably sorting things out. I looked at the clock on the wall. 11:45, I was fifteen minutes earlier than I was supposed to be. I took a couple more deep breaths. I had some time to chill.

"Ms. South? He's ready to see you." Now? I wasn't sure if I was ready for this, but there was something about the way she was looking at me. Like she approved. I took it as that and added it to my strength. I could do this, easy it's just an interview. She came from behind the desk and opened the frosted glass holding it open for me. "Sparky prepare yourself."

Zuko's POV

I looked up from my desk to Toph holding the door open for Ms. South. Azula wasn't kidding when she said the girl was early to everything.

"Sparky, prepare yourself." Prepare myself?

Then it hit me. She came into view from behind the door. Immediately I was drawn to her eyes. Those big blue orbs that looked like the sea, then to her figure. She was fit, not too skinny like other women. She had a thicker build, defined legs. I wanted to stop staring but I couldn't. Every time she took a step her hips would sway and I could feel my heart leaping out of my chest. Her mid long hair flowed, each dark strand swayed with her hips. Her lips were plump, and glossed. I coughed, she had sat down in front of me and it took every inch of will power to not stare at her breasts. I looked at Toph who was snickering quietly.

They weren't kidding. She was beautiful, no that wasn't the right word. She was what my sister had described her being. Gorgeous

"Thank you Toph, I'm glad to meet you, Ms. South. I'm Zuko Azulon." I reached over to shake her hand and she offered her hand back.

"The pleasure is all mine, Mr. Azulon. My name is Katara South." Hmmm good conversational skills. She carried herself well. I released her hand and waited for her to slouch down. Instead, she sat forward and straight. Good, passed the first test. I didn't like sloppy employees. Not only that but as my secretary she would be with me at many meetings and formal gatherings. So far she proved herself at least capable. I smiled.

"Now, I just have a couple of questions for you. If that's alright?" She smiled. Oh wow that was cute. She had tilted her head slightly, her hair falling a little over her face as her lips curled up. I had to hold my breath, I wasn't used to women being this appealing.

"Of course," I nodded. Snap out of it! I pulled the documents from the folder and pretended to look through them even though I had looked at them last night and this morning.

"Well Ms. South, I read your resume, so far it seems like you have had some involvement with business and you are majoring in it at your college. The place you work at now is you family's restaurant. May I ask why you want to work here when you have a good enough job there?" She laughed and it sounded like bells.

"Please, Mr. Zuko, can we not be so formal. I tried but it sounds so wrong when you call me that. Just Katara is fine," I smirked.

"Of course Katara, and Zuko is fine as well while we are at it." She gave me another smile and my heart lurched. I felt myself blush slightly.

"Thank you. I wanted to work here because it's always been a dream of mine to work in an office setting. I love the work I do for the restaurant, but it restricts me too much. I believe I have much more potential than that, and I would like to pursue it." I wrote what she said down onto some paper. Even if she was my sisters friend, I needed to review her as well as the other candidates that would be dropping by today.

"I see, then may I ask what you think you will be responsible for while working here." Katara looked at me slightly confused. Obviously she had no idea what the secretarial work would be like. I made sure of that.

"Isn't it everything? Regardless of what position you work in we all have to protect the company and its image. No matter what task I should be given, I will do it with speed and accuracy." Okay, Azula was right. She was good. I didn't want to say it was because of the way she was raised, but the identity she had made for herself.

"Next question, may I see your bag?" Katara gave me her bag without hesitation. I wondered if she knew that I was checking for her organizational skills. I opened it up and noticed how there wasn't a single paper out in the bottom. She had a notebook, a binder that had sections clearly marked, a planner, her pencils were in the pockets, and a pack of band-aids. I wondered if she was a clumsy person.

"Why do you have band-aids?" She blushed. Oh how that looked on her chocolate skin. I gulped.

"I tend to mother people quite a bit. I carry them around just so they are handy for when I need them. I also have a first aid kit in the back of my car." Wow, I really wasn't expecting that. I gave her back her bag and she thanked me quietly. I leaned forward lacing my fingers together and resting my chin upon them.

"Next question, are you affiliated with any drugs, gangs, or other crimes?"

"No." I sat back.

"Would you be willing to take a drug test after this interview?"

"Yes, of course."

"Would you allow someone to steal from this company?"

"No."

"Are you trying to leak any information about this company to another?"

"No."
Would you let me take you out for dinner sometime? I looked into her sea blue eyes. Everyone was right. She was dangerous…for me. She was perfect in appearances and what I knew about her from the interview. She fidgeted in her seat, waiting for the next question.

"What do you want to gain from this company?" She smiled again, something that I was beginning to look forward to.

"Experience. Experience with people, business, and other matters. I love to learn and I believe I have the best shot at getting what I want by working for this company." I couldn't help it, she was good. I almost hired her on the spot but I held myself back. I wanted to get to know her more.

"Katara," she tucked a strand of hair behind her ear "were you at the party yesterday?" She looked very confused before composing herself.

"Is this part of the interview?" I shook my head.

"The interview is done, but I would like to get to know you a bit more." She blushed before finally gazed elsewhere.

"I was. My parents had asked me to work since most of our staff was going. I was serving but secretly I was supervising our employees. We didn't want to mess up." I took off my jacket to reveal my red button down dress shirt. Her eyes didn't move from my face. That was new.

"I wish I could've met you before this interview. My sister talks an awful lot about you." She blushed again before muttering under her breath.

"Zuko, I really hope that you look at me as someone who was looking for a job and not using her friend as a stepping stool. I plan to get this job with my own power." I stared at her wide eyed. She held her chin up as if asking me to argue with her. I smirked, she was really headstrong.

"I plan on it. Despite being my sister's friend I will judge you just as harshly as the rest of the people that walk through my doors this afternoon." She released her breath and smiled.

"Thank you." I went back to the papers organizing to move onto the next step but she began to speak. "If I wasn't your sister's friend, would you have asked me what I was doing last night?" I looked up at her.

"No, I was just really curious. Azula likes to play tricks on me. She mentioned you being there, but ran off before I could ask to meet you." She laughed again.

"Zula always talks about messing with you. She kept me far from your sight last night." I chuckled with her. Zula?

"Is that what you call her?" She blushed before nodding, "I see. She probably wouldn't have wanted me to know about that."

"No, probably not. I might hear about it tomorrow night if you mention it." I smirked and leaned forward.

"Tomorrow night? Do you believe that I will snitch on you?" She gasped.

"Oh no no no! That wasn't what I was saying. I don't mind if you do say something though. If it makes it fair she calls me Tara." I chuckled, how cute.

"Well Katara I hate to cut our conversation short but the next person comes in about 10 minutes. I will have Ms. Bei Fong contact you by tomorrow if you got the job." She bent down and picked up her bag before standing up and extending a hand out to me.

"Thank you very much for your time Zuko." I shook her hand and led her to the door where Toph was sat at her desk.

"Have a nice day Katara." She got into the elevator and waved goodbye.

"Thanks', you too." The door closed and Toph whistled loudly.

"Soooo, did you get all hot and bothered. Because I could feel the heat coming out of your office." I glared at her, but ultimately sighed in defeat.

"I'm not going to deny that she's my type…okay, really my type. But, she's perfect for this position. You should've seen how she carried herself during the interview." Toph laughed.

"Whoa now Sparky, be careful or you really will be breaking your own rule." I smiled mischievously back at her.

"I think I already have."
