The Assistant Diaries (#watty2019)

City of Angels

On the plane, Beth was listening to music to calm her flying anxiety down. She didn't move from her seat. Sebastian had been reading a book on the flight to Los Angeles. Beth did her breathing to relax her. Although she wasn't thinking about it at the time, she should have ask the doctor for anxiety medication for her first flying trip. Sebastian held her hand to help her relax.

The co-pilot came on the intercom, "Please sit down and buckle up." He announced, "We will be arriving in Los Angeles in fifteen minutes." He said.

Sebastian looks over at Beth as he buckles himself into his seat, "Are you alright?" He asked Beth.

"Well," Beth said. "I am on a plane. I guess it's better than driving on the highway." She answered.

Once in the airport, Sebastian saw Anastasia's driver Leopold at the entrance to the terminal. He went over to hug the older man. Beth drags her feet over to the embracing men. Leopold was tall like Sebastian. He was thin. His hair was dark shade of brown. Leopold's eyes were the color of gray. Everyone climbed into the car. Leopold drove on Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills. Beth glances out of the window. People were shopping in high end fashion stores. As they got to the mansion, Sebastian rubs Beth's shoulders. They got out of the car and into the mansion. Bella, the maid, took Beth to her room as Sebastian went to his room. Beth looked around the room after Bella left. She was not used to this kind of stuff. Money, fame and fortune are part of Sebastian's lifestyle. She had to get used to it. Sebastian knocks on the door. Beth turns her head towards him.

"I hope you're not overwhelmed by this." Sebastian said.

"No, I'm in love." She replied.

Sebastian smiles, "I'm going to the pool. It's warm out." He told Beth.

"Can I join?" Beth asked.

"Sure," He said. "Let's relax before Karen shows up." Sebastian answered.

"I might like that way too much." Beth smiled.

While in the pool, Sebastian was laying on the raft. He was getting some California sun. Beth came out with a towel over her body. She walked over the pool chair. Sebastian grins and goes back to sunning himself. However, Beth had different idea of fun in the sun. She took the towel off and threw it on the chair. As she went over to the pool edge, Sebastian looks up at her standing there. He went back to his tanning. Beth cannonballs into the pool and splashes Sebastian on the raft. He jumps off the raft and grabs Beth's waist. Sebastian pulls her out of the water.

"I see you want to play." He whispers into her ear.

She smirked, "It's a pool, silly. I'm guessing it's meant for play." Beth told him.

Sebastian sighed, "Let's have some fun." He said, throwing her into the water.

Karen came to the back. She sat on the chair as she watches Sebastian and Beth play in the pool. She clears her throat, "Sebastian, I need your attention." Karen told him.

Sebastian stops and looks at Karen, "Sorry, I was busy." He spoke.

"I'm going to get out and get shower off. Lunch will be served soon." Beth said getting out of the pool.

After her shower, Beth got dries off and got dressed. She went down to the kitchen. Beth saw Karen and Sebastian talking by the pool. She grabs some food out of the refrigerator. As she was making lunch, Sebastian and Karen came inside the house. Karen left. Sebastian went upstairs and hops into the shower. When he came back down, Beth was finished with lunch. She got two drinks out of the refrigerator as she put everything away.

"I could have made lunch." Sebastian said to Beth as he sat on the stool.

"You were busy with Karen out on the patio." Beth reminded him.
