Making peace
Seth's POV
When I open my eyes all I see is blond hair. I sit up and see Ciara sprawled across the bed still wearing her red dress and heels. She loudly groans then does what seems to be an awful attempt to get up. She lands on the hard floor, not moving a muscle.
"What the hell's wrong with you? Help me up!" she screams. I quickly get up and grab her hands, pulling her up onto her feet. Her red lipstick is smeared across her face and her mascara is so smudged she looks like a raccoon. She closes her eyes then starts swaying back and forth.
"Why are you just standing there? I have a major hangover you asshole, walk me to the bathroom." Remind me again why I'm marrying this thing? The shit you do for money.
I grab her hands and take her to the bathroom. She then shoves me away from her and shuts the door in my face. I walk downstairs into the guest bathroom and quickly take a shower and brush my teeth. When I walk back upstairs Ciara has a fresh coat of makeup plastered on her face and she's wearing a pink tube top with a pink mini skirt. She looks up from painting her toenails and gives me a sickly sweet smile.
"I thought you had a hangover." I say walking into my closet with a towel wrapped around my waist.
"I just took some pills. So babe, why don't you just stay home today, we could spend sometime together." she offers. What does she think, I'm some kind of moron? All she's going to do is make me do things for her, then we'll have sex. Then after we have sex she'll ditch me to go run some 'errands'. I don't have time for her bullshit today.
"Not today babe, I have important things to do. Maybe some other time." I walk out with my usual suit and I start fixing my hair.
"Fine. So your birthday's coming up, what did you want to do?" she asks me getting up from the bed and walking towards me.
"Nothing." I say spraying some cologne on.
"Oh come on, let's do something." she says standing behind me, running her hands up my chest from behind.
"Ciara, I don't want to do anything. I have to go to work, I'll see you when I get home." I try my best not to fling her filthy hands away from me. I spin around and give her a quick kiss on the cheek then walk down stairs to the garage.
When I reach work the bodyguard Mason has a big smile on his face. I walk up to him.
"Why are you so smiley?" I ask.
"Oh that new assistant of yours is just, nice." he says blushing a little. I would like to punch that stupid smile right off his face. Why is he talking to my assistant anyway? Wow I'm getting a little possessive aren't I.
"Um, ok well have a nice day Mason." When I walk into my office I find a cup of coffee on my desk with a sticky note attached to it. '8:30 appointment. Don't be late.' It read, I took a sip from my cup and it had the perfect amount of sugar and cream. Just the way I like it. I looked at the time and it was 8:12. How did she know how I liked my coffee? No one knows how I like my coffee. I'm really bothered by this. But, it was nice of her. Maybe I should apologize for being so, pervy yesterday. I kind of feel bad, even though she told me off. Which was pretty fucking hot. Oh snap, I have a photo shoot tomorrow. I totally forgot about that. What time did he say I had to be there? A knock on my door brought me out of my thoughts.
"Come in." Laila walks in wearing a short black skirt with a white short sleeved buttoned up blouse.
"You're going to be late for your meeting." she says to me in her sweet voice. I look at the clock and it reads 8:30.
"Shit!" I got up and quickly ran to the conference room. When I walked in everyone turned to me.
"Oh, it's nice of you to join us Seth. Please take a seat." I sat down and everyone kept staring at me.
"Alright everyone pay attention. Now about those expenses." Mute.

Laila's POV
I watched Mr. Donovan run to the conference room and I shake my head. I left him a fucking note. I bumped into Logan and he handed me a bunch of papers.
"This is Mr. Donovan's paper work he didn't do, so while he's in his conference you can do it." he then walked away and I was left with a shit load of paperwork in my hands. I knew this job was too good to be true. I found the same empty office and sat down at the desk. I picked up the first paper, it was a letter, 'Dear Mr. Donovan, I was just wondering if you knew if cucumbers and pickles were related somehow. I mean they look exactly the same but taste completely different. Please write back soon. - Mr. Franklin.' Are you fucking kidding me! What kind of shit is this? Ugh! This is going to be a long day.
I was half way through with this pile of garbage when Logan walked into the office.
"Mr. Donovan wants to see you."
I got up and walked towards his office. When I opened the door he was pacing around the room.
"Sir, you wanted to see me."
"Yes Laila. Please sit down." he walked to his chair and sat down. I took a seat in one of the chairs across from him and just stared.
"I actually wanted to apologize for, well, being a dick yesterday. Normally my assistants would be at my feet, but in this case you're not like that." he says.
"Ya damn right. And it's ok, I mean you can't control yourself. I understand. You're a pig." I mumble the last part.
"Exactly. So can we start over?" he gets up and walks around the desk standing in front of me.
"You're not messing with me right? Because if you are I'll kick you in the balls." I say, bluffing. I can't really kick him in the balls, I'll for sure get fired. His face turns pale for a moment then he chuckles.
"I'm just trying to make peace." he holds out his hand and I take it.
"Alright we can start over." we shake hands and he smiles.
"But I have one question." he says sitting back down. "How did you know how I liked my coffee?"
"I just gave you what I put in mine."
"Oh ok. Um, I feel like I had something else to ask you." he starts to stare at the wall. "Oh ya! I have this thing to do tomorrow and I need you to be there."
"Why?"
"Because you're my assistant. We leave at 2."
"Wait where are we going?" We're going somewhere? Actually it might be fun, it'll be like a field trip!
"Don't worry about it ok. Just be here by 2. Now get out I have important things to do." he got up and threw me out of his office. I went back to the empty office I found yesterday and finished up his stupid paperwork. When I was done I barged back into his office, too tired to knock, and dropped the pile of papers on his desk.
"Oh, you did my paperwork. Thanks!" he picked up the letter about pickles and cucumbers and reads it. "Nicely worded. Hey, do you want to go out for lunch with me?" Lunch? It's already time for lunch? I look at the clock and sure enough it's 12.
"Ya, sure. Why not?"
"Great! Come on." he gets up and I follow him to his car. While we're on our way to whatever place we were going to, he puts the radio on. Strip by Chris Brown started playing, damn I love this song.
"Girl I just wanna see you strip, right now cause it's late babe." I sing quietly to myself.
"Girl I just wanna see you strip, girl take ya time with it." I looked over at Seth in shock but he just keeps watching the road like nothing happened, while mumbling the lyrics.
"Girl I just wanna see you strip. God damn you sexy, god damn you sexy, god damn you sexy. Girl I just wanna see you." we both sang together, laughing. When the song finished we pulled into Burger Palace. We got out and walked in. A girl with dirty blond hair came to sit us down.
"Hi I'm Rachel, I'll be your waitress. What can I get for you to drink?" she asks Seth.
"I'll have a coke." he looks at me and Rachel follows his gaze, finally realizing I'm here.
"I'll have a root beer." she walks away to get our drinks.
"So what do you want?" Seth asks.
"I don't know."
"Here's your drinks. Now what would you like to order, sweetie?" Rachel yet again asks Seth, pretending like I'm not even here. Like seriously, bitch I'm hungry!
"I'll get a cheese burger with extra curly fries." Rachel writes his order down then frowns and turns to me.
"And you?" She spits out.
"Um, I'll get a hamburger with lettuce, cheese, pickles, and onion rings with a big side of curly fries." They both look at me in shock. She writes down my order and goes to put it in.
"Damn that's a lot of food for such a small person. I'm surprised you didn't get a salad or something." Seth says taking a sip of his coke.
"Ya well I'm not really like those girls that only eat salads and drinks water. I'd rather eat a crap load of food then starve myself because food is awesome."
"Amen to that." Rachel finally comes back with our food and we dig in. Oh my god this food is amazing, it's like juicy wonderfullness.
When we finish we're too full to even move. I reach into my skirt pocket to get the debt card out that Addison gave me.
"No I got it." he says getting his wallet out.
"Ok."
"Wait, why did you give in so easily?"
"Oh because I thought it would be nice to make it seem like I was going to pay, even though I wasn't really going to pay. I knew you would offer and I mean you are the millionaire." I'm not going to lie, it's the truth. He is the one that offered to take me out to lunch. One day I'll ask him to go with me to lunch and I'll pay. That's fair isn't it?
"Well played." he says getting up from the table. "He have an hour until works done, you wanna ditch?" he asks me with a cheeky smile. His smile's so cute I couldn't resist, I shook my head yes. Wait, did I just say his smile's cute?
"Awesome. Let's go to the park." we got to the park in less than 5 minutes. The park had a big slide and a huge swing set. We both got out of the car and looked at the playground.
"I'll race you to the swings." I say in a serious tone.
"You're on." he says just as serious. I take my heels off and we both bolt to the swing set. I get there first because I'm awesomer, so he has to push me.
"Haha. In your face."
"Oh shut up, I let you win." he grumbles to himself pushing me as I go higher.
"Ya. Whatever. You wanna play hide and seek?" I suggest.
"What are you, 5?"
"And a half." I jump off the swings and start running. "You start counting first!" I scream. I hear him counting and I turn around to make sure he isn't cheating. I quickly run behind a tree and close my eyes. My heart beating out of control. 1, 2, 3 minutes later and I have no idea where he is. I turn around and I see him coming for me, I try to run but he already got me. His arms wrap firmly around my waist and I start to laugh.
"Haha. In your face." he says mocking me. His phone starts to go off and I stop laughing.
"It's 5. You ready?"
"Ya. Let's go, I had fun." we get into the car and he starts it up.
"Hey, anytime. I actually haven't had that much fun in a while. What's your address?"
"Oh I still need to get my car."
"No you don't, I'll drive you home." he offers.
"Then how will I get to work tomorrow?" I ask him.
"I'll pick you up in the morning." he says pulling out of the parking lot.
"Why do you want to take me home?" I ask him suspiciously.
"Hey, I'm just making peace." he holds his hands up defensively.
"Fine. Here's my number so you could text me at what time you're coming in the morning." he gives me his phone and I put in my number. I type my name down as 'My Assistant' and I give it back to him.
"My Assistant, huh?" he says looking at the phone and smirking. "That's a little kinky don't you think?"
"Oh, shut up and take me home." I tell him my address and in no time we're in my driveway.
"I'll see you tomorrow." Seth says with a genuine smile. I smile back and step out of the car, you know he's not that bad of a guy.
"Oh and Laila, nice ass!" he screams out of the window. I stand corrected. I walk into the house and close the door behind me. Today was, interesting, but fun. I actually hope we could do that again.

Seth's POV
I pull into my driveway and got out of my car. I walk up to the front door but hesitate. Please don't let Ciara be home, please don't let Ciara be home. I turn the knob and walk in. I look around and I don't see anyone, all of a sudden I'm being tackled.
"Babe you're home!" So close.
"Ya I'm home." I push her off of me and walk to the fridge.
"What did you do today?" she asks following me around. I think about my day with Laila and smile.
"Nothing, paperwork." I reply.
"That's it you didn't do anything else?"
"Nope, that's it just paper work." I sit down on the couch and turned the tv on.
"Well that's boring. What do you want for dinner? I was thinking of a nice healthy salad." she smiles at me.
"Um, I'm not hungry, I already ate."
"With who?" she asks getting up to go to the kitchen.
"Um, Logan." I lie.
"You know, you smell like sweat, what did you really do today?"
"Me and Logan just went to the park for a little bit before I came home that's it." I switch the channel and found the same stupid Cover Girl commercial.
"Oh, did you guys have fun?" Ciara asks me.
"Oh ya, we had a lot of fun."
