Seth's POV
Colin had just told Seth that the assistant that he would be getting was a hard worker and liked to please her boss.
"So she's willing to do anything!"Seth began to laugh at his own joke but stopped when Colin wasn't laughing as well. He was shaking his head and giving him a firm look.
"Sarah isn't like that. She's a respectable woman MacFarlane. If your going to turn her into the average office slut then I'll get one of them for you so you don't have to do any work for the outcome!"
Seth was shocked into silence and tried to say sorry but Colin just shook his head and checked his phone.
MacFarlane followed suit and looked through his missed calls and texts. Alex had sent him a few texts telling him that they were having a table read and that if he missed it she would go ape shit on him. He believed her.
As he was scrolling through his phone he saw some pictures of him and Mila. They had looked so happy together. Then she broke his heart and went off with Ashton Kutcher. He had got over her but he'd never forgive her fully.
Seth felt his eyes about to brim up – thank god he was facing the towards the book shelf and not towards the door. Thinking of Mila and how she had broke his heart made him also think about all the girls he had fucked over and how he suddenly felt quite worthless... he was nearly 40 for crying out loud!
Suddenly he heard the door fly open and Colin began talking to a woman. Seth checked his watch but stopped when he heard her voice and heard a dog panting. Her voice sounded like liquid gold. It was so beautiful and mesmerizing. He could have listened to her talk all day but Colin kept cutting in.
Colin left the room and Seth finally decided to turn around. As he did he was not fully prepared for the beauty that was standing in front of him. A tidal wave hit him and his words choked up in his throat. His heart beat trembled with fear from the sudden authority she had in the room and his eyes didn't know where to look. He wanted to stare at her every feature for the rest of time.
Her sparkling blue eyes pierced through him. Her mouth was hanging slightly open showing off her glowing white teeth, this made him light up inside. Her curves made him tingle all over and her hair made him have to cross his legs.
"Well, Zeus is a strange name for a dog!" Immediately after Seth began screaming at himself in his head WHY!? JUST WHY?! Why did you say that you dumb ass!
Straight after Seth had started screaming at himself in his head, his mouth responded by annoying his inner voice even more.
"Here is a bunch of scripts I need sent out to everyone on the list, here, and I also need Zeus out of here please!"
Smooth my man... just smooth! You have to act like an ass! All he could do was turn around to face his desk and pretend to start typing. Then he heard papers rustling and Sarah say, "Come on Zeus!" and then the door opened and closed tightly shut.
"I like the name Zeus..." Seth said aloud to himself. Sarah had already gone off before hearing his newest remark. He banged his head loudly on his desk.
"Was it too hard Seth to say, 'Hi I'm Seth. Seth MacFarlane. Your name is Sarah, right? I hope you have a nice day here. Would it be to much to ask if I asked you to..." Then for the next couple of minutes Seth just sat there; ranting and rambling to himself about what he should have said to that beautiful girl who had left with his heart.
Throughout the rest of the day Seth kept up the macho act. He gave Sarah work and commands as if she was nothing special but in reality his head was holding onto a leash that was attached to his heart. If it loosened its grip then he would surely lose control and kiss her at any instant.
In the table read for the latest Family Guy episode people began talking about her. Seth would stare down as Seth Green said,
"If I know Seth like I think I do. I'm surprised he hasn't already tapped that!" Everyone laughed, even Seth himself. Alex hit Green on the arm and he pretended to cry. MacFarlane's eyes got caught on Mila's and it was as if they were having their own telekinetic conversation. She looked like she was about to cry when they had finally finished the table read.
At 7 o'clock, as Seth was sketching on a piece of paper – a rough drawing of Sarah – a familiar voice came from his door way.
"Mr. MacFarlane?"
"Yes!"
"It's 7 o'clock sir. I'm about to go home now. I just wanted to say goodbye for the day... So, erm, goodbye."
Sarah sounded so nervous. So was Seth. All he wanted to do was get up and hold her close to his chest. Then he would tell her that she never had to say goodbye to him.
As the door was about to close he called out her name, like he would if she was about to board a train that would take her far, far away from him.
"Sarah... good job today!"
A perfect smile appeared across her face. "Thank you sir."
When Seth arrived at his home, he petted Chester and sat down on his luxurious sofa. That smile she had flashed at him. It was embedded in his memory forever. That perfect grin. She had no dimples but she had creases that formed from the edge of her nose to the edges of her lips. Her teeth were pearly white and her eye lids protectively close over those beautiful eyes. Just so she could see him a bit.
In his thin dress pants he could feel his member hardening as he remembered everything about her. His hand roamed down towards it but suddenly he stopped himself. It didn't feel right, doing what he so badly wanted to do. Instead he vowed that he wouldn't do that again until he was with Sarah.
Something about him felt new. He knew that the feeling was her. She'd be the thing that made him change his ways. Even if she thought he was a rotten dog. He talked himself into going to sleep right there on the couch. Tomorrow he promised himself that he would start a conversation with her that wasn't to do with work. But for now, as he fell into a peaceful dream, his last thought was her enchanting smile...
