When Sarah arrived home that night she ran into her bedroom and fell, crying, onto the bed. She stayed there all night and sobbed. She felt so rotten for leaving Seth like that; seeing his face as she left broke her heart a thousand times over and every time she thought of that face a thousand knives pierced her pale skin.
Why did you leave him? That was the best chance for you and you let it slip away. He could have been such a really nice guy but you instead listened to what you'd heard! You need to talk to him tomorrow... I don't see why he would want to but you at least need to try. Her inner voice was screaming it's head off at her in the morning as she wiped the tear stains from her face and got up off the bed. All night she had sat there and cried. All night she had blamed everything but herself and now all she had left was to blame herself. It was her fault that she had left him. Her own stupid insecurity had resolved in her ignoring a perfectly good guy... Or at least the possibility of him being a perfectly good guy.
After being screamed at by her self and putting herself through hours of torture, Sarah decided it was time she went into work. She really didn't want to have to walk through those doors and see him. The pain it caused thinking of his face was unbearable; seeing it for real would absolutely destroy her.
Her old banger of a car bounced it's way down the streets, every bounce taking her closer and closer towards FOX... Inevitably taking her closer to Seth.
As Sarah stepped out of the illuminated elevator, she suddenly noticed how heavy and fast her breathing was. She almost had to stop in the the middle of the corridor to calm it down. This would have meant holding up everyone behind her so she carried on walking.
When she reached her desk she saw a neon yellow post-it note waiting for her on top of a pile of 9 schedules. 'Meeting at 13:05 and can we please speak after work – Seth'.
After reading the note 5 times over, millions of thoughts and feelings were swimming dangerously around her breaking head, Sarah decided to try and forget about the many possible meanings.
Fuzzy feelings ran through Sarah's body all day up until 12:55... Then they started more like a hurricane. They swarmed around her body as her feet pounded across the floors towards the meeting room where she would be taking notes like all the other assistants.
Her sweaty palms clasped around the door handle and she took a deep breath. Then she pushed on the door and her heart dropped. Seth was lazily sat next to a new assistant for Alex. They were talking and laughing and her hand was on his knee. Her head was getting closer to his every time he made her laugh. Sarah felt her blood boiling and all she wanted to do was run other to the bleach-blonde haired bimbo and throw her onto the floor. She was so grateful when Alex pulled her away from Seth and sat in-between them.
Sarah took her seat next to Seth and took out a notebook. When she had sat down she just heard Alex whisper to Seth, "Stop flirting to anything with a pair of legs dumb-ass!" Seth slightly smirked at her then whispered back, "I wouldn't flirt with just anyone..." Sarah swore to herself that he glanced at her just after saying that.
As Sarah reached for her water Seth reached for his too. His tingling warm skin bite at hers and warm sensations filled both pairs of hands. Sarah's furious eyes shot Seth a glare like the icy water.
The rest of the meeting was boring for Sarah. But she done her job and made notes on everything everyone said or added. She pretty much stormed out of the meeting room because of the bleach-blonde haired bimbo. Once again that bimbo was flirting with Seth. What Sarah didn't see was Seth going to reach for her as she was storming off – he only just missed.
Up until 7:00 pm Sarah managed to ignore any sexual feelings towards Seth, though they were hard to fight off, but she kept herself busy. When that dreaded time came around she got up from her desk, leaving everything where it was, and marched herself into Seth's office.
At once Seth flew up from his desk, trailing paperwork in his wake. He pushed Sarah against the wall and forcefully put his firm hands either side of her head. Softly he growled in her ear, "I want to finish that kiss from yesterday!"
Seth roughly pushed his lips to hers. Sarah closed her eyes and enjoyed the kiss allowing everything she was going to say to him go out of her head.
When Seth finally pulled away from her. He gently stared into her eyes and said,
"I know I'm not amazing... but you are and I want to show you that for you; I will be everything and anything you want me to be!"
Instead of speaking Sarah just crushed her lips against his and finally said, "You only have to be yourself..."
"Good. But you do deserve better... Anyway, erm, now work is over maybe you'd like to go out somewhere? Maybe a bite to eat?" Seth grinned down at Sarah, her hands still laying on his rising chest.
"Sure, you pick the place! I'm never to good at choosing good places to eat..."
Sarah and Seth walked into the elevator laughing to themselves about something or another. Alex joined them on the decent down and when they reached the ground floor she eyed Seth suspiciously... almost saying Are you two a thing? In response he just put his muscular arm around Sarah's lanky shoulders then grabbed her hand. Alex smiled to herself as she saw them two walking out of the building together.
Mila joined Alex at her side and she said, "Do you think they'll last?"
Alex smiled to herself and responded with a huge grin, "I sure hope so. She's different..."
