All of the following week Sarah and Seth spent their time at Sarah's apartment packing her belongings and putting them into boxes or bin bags. Music played in the background all day but most of the time it was turned down to a very low level as Seth took the stage while packing. He'd sing to her while trying to wear her clothes. This would cause Sarah to have to drop whatever she was packing and try to pull them off of him. He'd make her laugh by trying to wrestle her and he'd do his 'Family Guy' impressions for her.
Everything was going perfectly well. The morning of the move rattled around and Sarah found herself inside of Seth's embrace, awake only by the sound of moving trucks and their horns. The moving men came in and helped Seth move Sarah's boxes into their vans.
"Honey?"
"Umm."
"What's going to happen about Zeus and Chester?"
"What do you mean?" Seth asked, his eyebrows knitting together smartly.
"Well, will they get on, and what happened if they don't?"
Seth stared out of the window, unsure of what to say. After minutes of staring he thought he had found the right answer. He cleared his throat and whispered,
"They'll get on. I'm sure they will." Though he wasn't so sure in his mind, What if they don't get on? I can't ask Sarah to get rid of Zeus and I can't get rid of Chester... ah I'll think of something
They pulled into Seth's house and glee hit Sarah's face. She had almost forgotten how big his house was and just how grand it was.
"Welcome home love." Seth growled in her ear, hopping out of is side of the car and walking swiftly around to her side of the car.
"Come here!" Gently he picked her up in his arms and carried her to the door. With a slight struggle, and Zeus following behind, Seth managed to open the door.
"Put me down." Sarah shouted playfully, hitting his arm and nuzzling her head into his shoulder. She felt more safe around Seth than she could around a thousand warriors from Greece. He clutched her close to his chest and whispered slowly,
"I would love to take you up to that room we now share and spend the whole day with you. Just you and me. But we have to unpack your stuff!" A cunning smile caused him to flash his pearly whites at Sarah. She flushed red and clambered down from his arms.
The rest of the day was spent surrounded by boxes, clothes and ornaments. Everything was pretty hectic but the troublesome duo managed to settle the animals down and gather their thoughts. A few photographers had managed to find out details of the move and were waiting when Sarah checked out of the window. Their cameras went berserk when they saw her. She sharply pulled the curtains across and lightly swore to herself that she was the biggest idiot around.
That night they sat down for dinner, still surrounded by the last few boxes left. They ate spaghetti and meatballs while Chester began playing with Zeus's ears. Seth was lightly talking about his family and how it was growing up.
"Well, it was a family where you had to be quite witted," He said, gesturing with a fork full of spaghetti. Food flew from the edge of his fork and landed on Sarah's shirt. They both stared open mouthed at what had just happened. Seth scoffed then started back peddling, getting up quickly and attempting to go over to her side to help her. Sarah held her hand out and he stopped in his tracks.
Without another word Sarah grabbed a handful of food from her plate and flung it at Seth. Her well practised aim hit it's target.
"That. Was for you doing it to me!" She exclaimed as Seth put his tongue in his cheek and picked up his own plate.
"Don't you dare." Sarah warned playfully. Holding her hands up above her head in mock surrender. Seth shook his head and growled, "That ain't going to work now."
For the next ten minutes a furious food fight broke out in Seth's dinning room. It then spread to the kitchen and ended there. Seth finally grabbed Sarah from behind and chuckled into her ear. His voice was the only thing Sarah could hear. They collapsed on the floor together, two entwined, giggling, spaghetti balls.
Seth stopped giggling and stared affectionately down at Sarah. He brushed her fringe out of her eyes with a delicate swish of his thumb, revealing a set of pearly blue eyes. A half crooked smile sat on his face as he whispered.
"I love you."
He sealed his enchantment with a soft graze of his lips upon hers.
"Come here you!" He commanded, picking her up off the floor, so she straddled his waist. Sarah's lips locked with his as Seth manoeuvred his way up the stairs. Peering around Sarah he saw that he was only a few steps away from their bedroom door. The heat of the moment gathered to much for Seth. He pushed her up against the wall, her legs still wrapped around his waist in an iron like grip. He tugged at the sleeves of his shirt, all the while his lips planting small kisses along Sarah's neck line.
"Dear lord this shirt just won't come off!" Seth moaned, almost crying with the anticipation of him and his lover together in the shower.
Sarah chuckled quietly into Seth's shoulder. Finally Seth's arms were freed from his shirt. With all the calmness he could muster, he pulled Sarah away from the wall and kicked the bedroom door open. He threw Sarah on the bed, pulling himself away then growled,
"Stay. Here."
Seth marched into the adjacent bathroom and started the shower. He made sure the water was just warm enough then he wandered back into his bedroom. Sarah was waiting on the bed, having not moved from where Seth had put her moments before hand.
He scooped her up in his arms and carried her into the bathroom, his lips locked with hers – his tongue having it's own adventure in her mouth.
Once their euphoria had washed off of them, Seth and Sarah shut off the water and stepped out of the shower. Seth carried her, both of them still catching their breath, back to the bed. That night they lay entwined talking till midnight.
Sarah had her head rested on Seth's chest, a thoughtful state upon her.
"Seth... I think I'm going to go in to work tomorrow!" Seth carefully ran his hands through her golden, drying hair.
"Mhm. How come?"
"I think I should probably see people from work, and I think you should go in too!"
Seth gently chuckled out loud, then he kissed the top of her head and whispered, "Well if it means I get to see my hot assistant then sure as hell I'll be in tomorrow."
The pair sat in bed grinning from ear to ear, the moonlight reflecting the glee on their faces in the window.
"Good good. G'night Seth."
"Sweet dreams dear."
