"Oh my god, you're so old fashioned you know that!" Chuckled Sarah into Seth's arm as they strolled back to his Aston Martin.
"Just a bit..." He moaned back like a school boy. For once he didn't care about if there was photographers taking pictures of him – he only cared if there were photographers taking pictures of them. Just for the moment, he wanted Sarah to be kept as his and only his.
Seth squeezed her hand tightly and swung her around. She was now leaning against his Aston Martin's, passenger door. He pressed himself against her and whispered dangerously in her ear, "Am I so old fashioned now?"
"Yep! You're still an old fashioned fart!" Sarah said defiantly. With that Seth pushed himself against her so she could no longer wriggle or move.
Sarah sighed to herself when she realised he wouldn't get into his car until she said he wasn't old fashioned.
"Fine! You're not old fashioned!" She giggled. Seth was grabbing her sides which made Sarah sink into the floor.
At 10pm on a briskly warm night; two fully grown adults were sat on the floor of a Chinese car park, leaning against an expensive car and tickling the hell out of each other. They were getting the strangest looks from passers by and Seth was sure he saw a few paparazzi flash there cameras in their direction; but he really didn't care right then. This was the youngest he'd felt in years without being with a girl 10 years younger or more.
"What are you staring at?" Sarah said, self-conscious that Seth was staring directly at her. Gently in response he brushed her side fringe out of her face and said,
"Hm... your self-consciousness is hilarious – and sweet!" He closed the gap between them and planted a kiss on her lips to calm her nerves. "But maybe we should get you home... it looks like it might just rain!"
Just as Seth predicted, as they reached Sarah's apartment, it began to chuck it down. Outside of his snazzy Aston Martin, the ran was pouring down and Sarah really didn't want to get out.
"So, this has been really... nice... I mean – I meant it's nice to be with someone so... normal!" Seth stared down at his feet when he began to stumble over his words and went a deep shade of red. Sarah smiled at him and put her hand under his chin and kissed him.
"You're cute when you get all muddled up!" She kissed him goodbye then quietly whispered, "Goodnight Seth!"
Then she pushed on the heavy door and let herself into the building; not once looking back at Seth, but all the time wanting to. If she had of looked back, she'd have seen Seth standing there grinning from ear to ear. As he strolled back to his Aston Martin all he was thinking was I have a real keeper this time!
"Why are you smiling like the cat that got the cream?" Spat Alex as Seth came strolling through the door, a grin sat firmly on his face and his hair all in tufts.
"Funny you say that, Chester did get cream this morning!" He laughed, sitting down in his comfy chair right next to her. Mila shot a confused look over at him and he just waved back. This pissed her off even more than it should of.
"OK, so you've spoiled the cat! What the hell is up with you? Oh, and Sarah won't be in today..." Seth's mood downed like a bullet. His face sunk and he looked at Alex from under heavy puppy dog eyes. Alex shrugged and said defensively, "She rang in, something must have cropped up. But my assistant Clarice, has offered to help you today!"
This just sent Seth into a worse mood and he sat there pouting like a moody toddler, I don't want Clarice! I want Sarah... When Clarice came over to sit between him and Alex he allowed his head to hang back on his chair and he groaned loudly. Right now he didn't want to be here, he wanted to be wherever Sarah was.
Throughout the whole of that meeting, Seth turned into a moody and inconsolable teenager. Afterwards he sprinted out of the door, towards the elevator and out of the main front doors. He had one place in his head and that was where he was going.
"Sarah!" Seth banged his fists on her apartment door, almost angry that she hadn't turned up for work. "Sarah, will you open this door!" He was shouting so loud that it was causing some of her neighbours to come outside of the safety that was their apartments. They stared at him as if he was mad but he didn't care, he wanted to see her so badly.
The door flew open. Sarah was standing there with a furious look upon her face.
"What the hell do you think you're doing?" She whispered in absolute fury.
"I wanted to see you! Why weren't you at work?"
"I didn't feel right this morning, if you need me that badly then I can come in." Sarah leant against the door frame and reached behind her to get her jacket. Seth grabbed her arm and pulled himself closer to her.
"Yes. I do need you that badly!" Then he pushed his mouth to hers. She giggled into his lips and pulled him inside of her apartment.
Seth collapsed on top of Sarah. He propped himself up on one arm and smiled down at her. He couldn't help but smile around her, it was a reaction suddenly embedded in him. She was grinning back. They were like Cheshire cats.
Seeing her smile made Seth die of happiness inside. Without thinking, he took a deep breath and sighed to her,
"I love you..."
It took him a minute to understand why Sarah looked a bit shocked. When he realised he clapped his hand to his mouth and started to speak but she put her finger over his moving mouth and whispered,
"I love you too..."
"Jesus fucking Christ you're amazing!" Laughed Seth, smashing his lips into hers while chuckling. He pushed her back onto the bed and climbed on top of her.
"Good morning!" Sarah said sleepily as her hands brushed where Seth had been the night before. He was no longer there. She shot up in bed and scanned the room. His and her clothes were still scattered all over the floor.
Bed hair full intact she swung her legs out of her dingy bed and rushed into the kitchen area. There he was. Standing at the cooker with his underpants on, and only that.
Sarah let out a sigh of relief. Seth noticed she was there.
"Well hello there beautiful!" He said, journeying over to her, leaving the cooking equipment and food behind him. He took her in his arms and brushed her lips tenderly with his own rough pair.
"Sorry you didn't wake up next to me... I was making you breakfast!"
"That's so sweet but you really didn't have to do that." Sarah felt her face go a deep shade of red at the lovely gesture of kindness.
Seth laughed then kissed both of her red cheeks. "You're even more beautiful when you're embarrassed!"
They sat down to eat breakfast together and they giggled, smiled and talked for what felt like hours. But neither of them realised that their lives would change rather drastically, from now on.
