interview

I walked around the cold air conditioned room whilst the harsh lights reflected off my highlighter

When I walked in I stood there in the center of the room,my palms began to sweat he looked me up and down and obviously looked at my resume he read and carried on looking up and down from the paper as if he was surprised that I went to Cambridge and used to work in a homeless center his face made me remember my childhood and that's when he noticed where he knew me from I didn't notice at the time but it would come back to me eventually "i think that you're a bit overqualified but I'm not complaining, congratulations you got the job" it was unbelievable that I got to be the person who dealt with personal information such as doctors' appointments and auditions. A week after I had started at the job I was just about nailing the phone calls and coffee orders and he walked up towards my desk put both of his hand on it and looked up at me "listen we are going to have weekly dinners to check up with everything that has happened in the week so I'm not missing out that's what was wrong with my previous assistant so I will pick you up at five so can you make dinner reservations for Gargola's" I looked at him as he quickly snapped his fingers I picked up the phone and did as he had asked.

When he picked me up the moon began to shine of the car bonnet and I must admit on the way there a bit of awkward chit chat did occur but as soon as he mentioned how he saw me when I used to be a contortionist he came to one of my shows when I was fifteen and he said all of these incredible things about how good I was .We began talking and reminiscing over past events of when I first saw him on tv and how we were socially awkward in secondary school we could have talked for hours and we kind of did we were there until it was dark "so we were sat there on set laughing at the birds and that's when I vowed never to get a bird" he said as a smile gleamed on his face that's when our knees touched under the table it was like a magnet as soon as we touched each other we couldn't stop, it went from knees to hands to bodies and lips we kissed and kissed his hand grazed my thigh then we held hands because the people in the restaurant said we were condoning public indecency so we quickly called for a taxi we got in and he kissed my neck getting lower down until he reached my chest we got out and ran inside a cheap hotel giggling.
