Chapter 2: Meeting at Landau

Monday Morning~

The sun shined through the patio doors and into Sarah's bedroom. She woke up before her alarm could sound at 7 am. She got up from her bed in a sleepy haze and walked into the kitchen and put on a pot of coffee. Like a zombie she walked back into her room and into the bathroom, turned on the shower, and undressed. She stood in the shower letting the warm water wake her up. The water ran down her face and over her body rinsing away the fatigue. She washed herself with her favorite body wash, shaved her legs and washed her hair. She quickly got out of the shower wrapped a towel around her body and hair.

Making her way into the kitchen she pulled out a coffee mug from the cabinet and poured herself some coffee adding her cream and sugar. She sat for a minute drinking her wake-up call thinking of what the day will bring. She practiced shaking invisible hands and smiling to no one giving greetings such as Hello, I'm Sarah or Good morning nice to meet you. She felt so nervous. She left the mug on the counter and proceeded to get ready for the day.

She went into the walk in closet to get her outfit, and laid it out on the bed. Looking at the outfit she thought it was too conservative. She walked back into the closet and looked at every single piece of clothing she owned and decided on a pair of black leggings and a dark turquoise top with a low v shaped neck line, the length of the shirt coming down at the mid section of her thigh and black flats. She walked over to her bathroom and took her hair out of the towel. She blow dried her hair going through it with a round brush giving her hair some volume, teasing only the front section into a pompadour and putting it in place with a hair clip. She put on some mascara and eyeliner and was ready to go.

The morning started with a massive headache for both participants of the night before. It was nearly 7 in the morning and time to get ready to meet the person that would make their lives easier. Together they showered and took a remedy to relieve the pounding in both their heads. After what felt like hours getting ready for today's events they were somewhat refreshed and ready to go.

I don't see why we need a personal assistant we've been doing just fine"

"Tom we need one!" well you need one she said to herself."Our schedules are so hectic we hardly have time to see each other." The tall and thin woman took her boyfriend by the waste and gave him a peck on the lips. "Please" she said fluttering her eyes and talking in a voice that he never could say no too.

"Alright Jade" he said holding her close. "But what are you going to do for me" taking her into a complete embrace he looked into her eyes.

"I'll give you a kiss. Come on we gotta go or we're going to be late" Said Jade turning away and grabbing his hand to drag him out the door.

As they made their way to his car and she couldn't help but think how lucky she was to have such a good guy. Tom Felton. Thee Tom Felton was as good as hers. Although she sometimes had a wandering eye she couldn't help but observe the fact that she had him wrapped around her finger. Anyone who had thought to come between them always thought twice for they would never be beautiful enough to catch his eye. She trusted him and to her fortune he trusted her.

He opened her car door and watched her walk toward him. She is just too damn beautiful for her own good he thought. She always found a way to make him feel a sudden want for her in his heart. He felt he was a lucky guy to have such a raging beauty on his arm. She was his all his. The love he felt for her goes way back to the time he met her on set. Something about her always kept his attention. He loved her and she loved him. He took her hand and helped her into the car and shut the door getting in on the other side.

Tom started the car and asked "where to?"

"The Landau babe" said Jade pulling down the passenger side mirror and applying a shade of lipstick.

Sarah walked down the streets of London using her GPS on her iphone. She couldn't help but be a little nervous she had only just remembered that she didn't even know what the name was under. She figured that she would just go in tell the person she was to meet someone and go from there. She walked about two and a half blocks, observing the street she was walking down. She loved the lively London streets. Flower shops seemed to be on every corner, some random pedestrians would say good morning others would simply smile at her. When she had finally got to the restaurant she stood outside and took deep breath and opened the door.

Good Morning Miss!" said the host "Do you have a reservation?"

"Uh yeah I think so" the host looked at her quizzically but she proceeded "Well I'm supposed to meet someone here but I don't exactly know who I'm meeting. I'm starting today as a personal assistant.

The hosts look lifted off his face and into a smile.

"Ah yes your party has just arrived. Follow me and I will see you to them."

Them! She thought to herself but didn't further contemplate who "them" could be. Sarah followed the host and took in the scenery of the beautiful restaurant with its high arched windows and pastel walls it was very Victorian like the sun was the only light. The tables were covered in lace table cloths with many forks and spoons on each side of several white plates and glass cups. The place was of rather fine taste she thought to herself.

Her host came to a halt and at that moment she then noticed who she was joining for breakfast. A woman stood up and introduced herself. She was rather beautiful with long brown hair and tanned skin in very fashionable clothes.

Extending a hand she said "Hi I'm Jade Olivia Gordon you must be Sarah Emerson?"

Sarah gained her composure and took the hand "Yes, Hello" she said with a smile

Looking over to the man standing beside the woman, she stood in a trance. She had never met a celebrity before she thought to herself and she sure as hell wasn't going to make a fool of herself in front of one.

The dirty blonde male with piercing blue eyes extended his hand also "Hello" he said "I'm Tom Felton". She shook his hand and said "Hello".

The three took their seats, Tom and Jade sitting on the same side across from her in silence as the three of them looked at each other and smiled.

Jade kick started the conversation "Did you find the place alright? You didn't get lost did you?"

Uh, n-no, well I mean I found the place fine. I don't live too far from here actually" Sarah stammered.

They both looked at her stunned like she had said something totally off color.

"I'm sorry did I say something wrong?"Sarah said with wide eyes.

Oh no!" Tom and Jade said in unison.

"We just didn't know that you were American. Nothing against you we just didn't know" Tom quickly said looking at her sincerely. Sarah smiled at them both.

"It's cool I don't take offense. So…"she said quickly thinking of something to bring up and to her luck a waiter came to their table and quickly went over their menu and took their drink order. The waiter walked away leaving the silence that once again consumed them. Sarah continued to look at the interior of the restaurant.

So what brings you over to our side?" said Tom breaking the silence

It took a moment before she realized he was talking to her. "Oh well I just kind of came across the ad while I was walking around L.A. I went on an interview and within a month I was moving here" she said simply. She didn't feel she needed to tell all that had led her here.

"I hope it was no trouble for you to move out here" said Jade.

"No not at all. I was looking for a change anyways. The people out here are really nice. London is really beautiful" she said

The waiter came with their drinks and asked for their meal orders Sarah sat drinking her iced tea and motioned for them to order first.

Jade looked over the menu again. Skimming through it for a minute "I don't know what I want I couldn't possibly eat all of that" she pointed at an item on the menu. "Well I suppose I could have a little bit of this with some fruit." Coming to a decision at last she placed her order "I'll have one poached egg and some fruit"

Tom motioned for Sarah to place her order as if trying to say ladies first.

I'll have the English Breakfast please with scrambled eggs" she said quickly. It had been eleven hours since she had last eaten (not counting the cup of coffee she had drank earlier) and she was starving she could feel her stomach ready to sound that fact.

Tom had looked surprised by the fact that she had ordered so quickly."I will have the same also" he said with a smile handing the menu to the waiter.

Tom watched her with stealth while he ate and she talked to Jade. He had never seen anyone eat let alone a girl who ate as fast as she did and who had actually eaten all her food. She must have been starving he thought. After the food had arrived she had become more relaxed. She talked more. He noticed that as she talked to Jade she liked to use her hands to try and show the things that she was saying. Her hands were small and slender he couldn't help but stare at them. He thought back to the moment she had shook his hand they were soft he thought really soft.

"So we'll go over our schedules with you! Right Tom?" Said Jade nudging him to agree.

Oh yeah,… wait… what?" He said wiping his mouth with his napkin and setting it on the table.

I said we'll go over our schedules with her so she can decide the best way she can help both of us."

Oh yeah right." He said slightly embarrassed taking a sip of his tea.

Well I was thinking that Tom and I could split you between us? He could have you Monday, Tuesday, and Friday, I could just take the empty days and you could have the weekends off if you don't mind? Does that work for you?" said Jade

Yeah sure that sounds good to me" she said

Oh yeah we should exchange numbers that way if you we need you to do something we can just call or text each other! You might have to be on call on some weekends when Tom has to go out of town" Jade said. After having done so Jade excused herself from the table and went to the womens lavatory.

Tom took this time to get to know the girl sitting before him.

So I take it you liked your English breakfast? he said with a slight chuckle.

He watched as she looked down at her empty plate and smiled. "Yeah, I guess so, I was starving." She has a nice smile he thought.

How do you like your iphone?

"I like it. It's most convenient when I need it. I like to listen to music A LOT! And plus it makes things easier to manage. It dies fast because I use it so much."

Yeah! Right? You can listen to music, do the internet thing and play games and stuff and you never have to take your headphones out! My phone dies out quickly too. Got to keep a charger with me at all times" Tom said with excitement.

Sarah agreed "yeah even when you make calls you don't have to take it out.

"You know I keep telling Jade she needs to get one but she's more of a Blackberry person"

Ha does she work a lot? Most people who have Blackberries always seem to be workaholics" she said with a laugh

Tom gave it some thought and said "as a matter of fact she does work a lot" and smiled.

Just then Jade came their way with her phone in hand. "Are you talking about me?"She said not looking up from her phone.

Yes darling, we were just talking about your infamous blackberry addiction. Sarah and I have the same phones. Your resistance to the iphone will soon come to an end and you shall come to the dark side" Tom said in triumph. Sarah sat and laughed at his little dialogue.

Oh god Tom you know I can't stand those things! Their too cliché I see the blackberry as being more classy. You two need to get new phones" Jade said still clicking away on her phone. Tom exchanged "are you kidding me" looks with Sarah and they both laughed.

Jade put her phone down and said "well seeing as today is Monday you can help Tom unpack he just moved into a really nice condo and after two weeks living there has still failed to unpack" she said batting her eyelashes at Tom. "I have to get to work A.S.A.P. "she stood up from the table and wrapped the strap to her handbag over her shoulder, as she did so she turned to Tom and said "You don't have to take me I can take a cab."

Tom stood and kissed her cheek. He looked out after her until she was out of sight and then turned to Sarah and said.

"Shall we be on our way?"
