The Assistant Diaries (#watty2019)

One is the Loneliness Number

It's all your fault. You lost someone loves you. No job. You should have kept it in pants none of this would have happened.

Tony was staring at Beth. He was speechless. His girl went behind his back and cheated on him with Sebastian Stan. They were having an affair last few months while Beth and Tony were dating. He was full of anger. The picture, on the magazine, said a thousand words. Beth and Sebastian were together. He wanted to go over to Sebastian's and punch him so hard. Beth had tears coming out her eyes. Her eyes were blood shot from the tears. The news leaked about Sebastian and her. Karen fired her within fifteen minutes. Now, she lost Tony. If only Romania didn't happen, she would be with a boyfriend and had a job.

"Please leave, Beth." Tony said cold.

As Beth left the apartment, Tony did not turn back towards her. Beth was crying when it began to rain in the city. She walks down the street as it poured. Her thoughts were going over the last thirty six hours before Tony found out. Sebastian did not want to see her. Karen fired her after she found out about the affair. She had no job or a wonderful boyfriend. Beth lost everything in her life. She had no clue what to do in her next move.

Thirty six hours ago

Beth was doing a crossword puzzle. Sebastian was reading one of Beth's books she brought on the trip. It has been seven hours since they left Rome. Karen was watching in flight movie. Sebastian put the book down. He got up and went over to Karen. Sebastian sat next to her on a seat.

"What are you doing, Seb?" Karen asked.

"I was thinking about getting something for Beth for her birthday next month." Sebastian replied.

"Why?" Karen asked.

"She's been real supportive these past few weeks." Sebastian answers.

"I see your point. Something small and not too fancy, Stan." Karen reminded him.

"You know I won't." He said.

Sebastian made his way back to his seat. He had to do a pitstop to the bathroom. Beth stretches her legs out. Standing from her seat, Beth had to move around to get the blood flowing in her legs. It was a long flight back to New York City from Rome, Italy. The flight attendant came out with pretzel snacks from the kitchen area. Beth took a bag with her when she went back to her seat. Then Sebastian finished his visit to the bathroom. He came back to the seat next to Beth. She shared her pretzel bag with him. Later, Sebastian and Beth asleep in their seats. A few hours later, a ding on the intercom made them look up. The flight pilot clear his throat as he made his announcement about the flight.

"We will be arriving in JFK in twenty minutes. Please remain seated and put on your seatbelts as we descend in altitude." The pilot told everyone on the plane.

Beth buckles her seatbelt. She could feel the plane descending to its destination. Sebastian clicked himself into his seat. Karen had done the same thing with her belt. The plane got lower and lower until it hit the runway. After they got off the plane, Sebastian and Beth went to customs them baggage claim for their luggage. Karen followed behind them as the bodyguards were to the sides.

When they left the airport, it was late evening in New York City. Karen yawn due her jetlag hitting her. The taxi driver drove to Karen's residence to drop her off. Karen grabbed her things. She paid the driver. Karen waved to Sebastian and Beth as the taxi drove away. Sebastian decided to stay with Beth at her place. They got their luggage. Sebastian paid the driver. As they made their way to the apartment, they were greeted by the neighbors. Once Sebastian and Beth got inside of the apartment, they dropped their things on the floor. Beth decided to collapse on the couch. Sebastian managed to walk to the chair before collapsing into the chair. Jetlag took over their bodies. They fell asleep at the places they have dropped before sleep. It was early morning before they woke up. Sebastian made coffee while Beth showered in the bathroom. After she came out of the bathroom, Sebastian smiles at her.
