Sarah's head was filled with such comments and questions as, Should I go? What if he shouts at me? What if we kiss? Will I go all... Sarah on him? I shouldn't go...
But finally, after 10 minutes of debating with herself, she threw on some new clothes, said goodbye to Zeus and ran out of the door. She galloped down her block of flats stairs and out to her car.
"Hi Sarah!" A jolly voice greeted her as she stepped through the doors.
"Hey Mac, what's happening?"
"Nothing much... go straight in!"
With a small spring in her step Sarah burst through the doors and made her way up to the stage. She jumped up and wondered over to the piano. She took a seat and closed her eyes. Gently she grazed her hands over the keys and found herself at home. She found the right place and began to play the only thing that came to mind.
A smile lit up her face that she hadn't felt in years. It was the smile she felt when she was at a piano. Her hands fell into place like them and the piano were old friends. They totally remembered each other when she began to play Teenage Dream.
When she slowed down near the end and opened her eyes she saw someone standing in one of the rows. She raised her right hand to block the light only to see Seth standing there. Her left hand stopped playing. Instantly, without thinking, she got up and walked to the edge of the stage. She jumped down and ran over to him. She hugged him tightly to her and said, "Thank you for coming!"
Then Sarah realised what she was doing and pushed herself away from him with a gob smacked look plastered across her face.
"Oh... I'm sorry boss! So, so sorry."
She put her hands by her side and stared back at the piano. Seth grabbed her hand and pushed her into one of the chairs.
"You can really play well... did you take lessons?" His voice sounded so husky, so much better outside of the studio and offices.
"No I learnt by ear." She went to get up but Seth pushed her back down. A smile flickered across their faces.
"Seth... why did you come tonight?" Once again she went to get up but Seth grabbed her shoulder, pushed her back down but this time he bent down so he was inches away from her face.
"To give you this!"
Sarah had expected a piece of paper or something along those lines. Not what she was about to be given.
Seth stared longingly into her eyes. He tilted his head to the side when he studied the cuts on her lips. Delicately he raised one long finger and brushed it against them. Sarah could no longer think straight. All she knew is that she wanted him and no one else.
His eyes burned furiously into hers and he began to bite tenderly on his bottom lip. Both sets of breathing got put on hold when Sarah hung her head down to the floor. Seth took a deep breath, then swooped just underneath her head to give her a shy kiss. He quickly pulled away, his eyes wide and his heartbeat racing.
Sarah's eyes were closed and she didn't know why he stopped. Her eyes flashed open and there was a moment of silence before she pushed herself against him, curled her hand around his neck and pulled him closer to her. Their lips locked with a tight grip on each other. Seth gently forced her mouth open and inside began a ferocious tongue-wrestling match for dominance... Sarah finally gave up! Seth pushed her against the stage and began to grind his hips against hers. She found herself clumsily undoing the buttons on his button up shirt. Her fingers were numb while her brain tried to catch up with the current situation – she could feel his rock-solid member prodding into her lower body.
Sudden composure ran through her body as she realised who it was she was kissing, who was kissing her back!
She pushed Seth away from her and stared at him while trying to catch her breath. A look of hurt sat across his face as if someone had slapped him when he was trying to give them a hug.
"That shouldn't have happened... you're my boss and even if you weren't – I'm not right for you!" Sarah crashed passed him and ran out of the doors, past Mac and into her car – leaving a very hurt Seth leaning against the stage...
