Chapter 5
Zen
I just came back from seeing her. I worried her today because she said I looked clouded, that my mind was elsewhere. It was. I couldn’t stop thinking of my current conquest, Lucy.
I assured her that it was nothing. I’m glad that she bought it because if she ever found out about my list of conquests then I’d know she’d be super pissed. It was nearly sundown and I started heading out of the hospital so I can make my way towards the bar.
Before I could exit the hospital I ran into Lucy who was about to enter the hospital. Her eyes widen as she saw me, I smirked as I walked up to her. “I’m starting to really like this hospital, care to take another trip to the storage room?” I asked her.
Her cheeks turned a bright red as she spoke timidly “I’m here to work not to fool around.” I was just going to tease her with a few words that’s until I saw Ezra in the background. He was talking to a few people but his eyes were glued to Lucy and I. He must seriously like Lucy.
Too bad. Lucy is mine and I’m going to prove that.
Without any warning I grabbed Lucy’s chin and smashed my lips upon hers. I knew she was caught off guard because she tried pushing me away but not a minute goes by and she melts into the kiss. I almost melted into the kiss too and almost forgot the reason why I actually kissed her. My eyes opened and looked at Ezra.
I smiled into the kiss knowing I’ve successfully pissed Ezra off. He looked like he wanted to storm over to where we were but the people still kept talking to him and I bet he wasn’t even listening. I almost gave into the passionate kiss but before that could happen I quickly pulled away.
Lucy had a dazed look on her face. I smirked knowing she can’t get enough of me, I know also wanted more from her but after I got what I wanted then I no longer needed her, right?
“I’ll see you later my sexy doctor.” I told her as I caressed her face. I turned around to walk away but I was once again stopped by Lucy grabbing the edge of my sleeve just like she did back at Fancy Cups. I turned to see Lucy with her head bowed down almost like she was shy to look at me.
“When is later?” she asked.
“Give me your phone.” I told her as I held my hand out. She dug through her bag and gave me her phone. I put my number in and saved it as Mr. Sexy Beast. I bet when she reads that my face will be the first one to pop in her mind.
“If you get bored you can booty call me. Maybe we’ll have phone sex or something.” I told her as I sent her a wink. Her eyes widened as a blush appeared across her cheeks, I even noticed when she gripped her phone tightly.
This is going to be so much fun.
I was about to walk away when she suddenly ask me “Where are you going?” I didn’t like when people wanted to keep tabs on me. It irks me especially when women ask me that question thinking they’re my girlfriend. I wasn’t going to lash out at Lucy like I do with the other girls because I haven’t conquered her yet.
“As I said… it’s none of your business.” I told her a bit too harshly. I just hope she won’t ask that question again. I expected her to stay quiet as I leave like the obedient person she is but instead she asked another question “Why are you so cold?”
I sighed knowing she wasn’t going to let this go. I ran a hand through my long brown hair as I turned to face her. She looked at me awaiting my answer. I was going to lecture her like I do with all my other conquests but the moment I open my mouth to speak, no words seem to escape my mouth.
My mouth suddenly felt dry and my stomach clenched painfully. It’s like I couldn’t say any of those in front of Lucy. Her eyes sparkled as they stared right into my eyes as if she was staring right into my soul.
Was I having a stroke?
“Zen… are you alright?” she asked. The way she said my name made my heart squeeze. Something was terribly wrong with me but I decided not to let it show. I smiled softly at Lucy and I could tell that she was taken aback from the smile I’ve given her.
“I’m okay. I just need to go to… work.” I told her. She bought my excuse then she closed her eyes and gave me a wide smile. It was my first time to see a genuine smile on her face. My heart was beating fast at the realization that I was the reason why she smiled.
How beautiful…
My inner self was face palming from the way I handled the situation. Once I saw Ezra making his way towards us I quickly winked at Lucy and left. Once I was outside of the hospital a frown made its way onto my face.
Anger consumed me as I made my way towards the bar. I didn’t like how I handled that situation at all. I should’ve told her off like the way I did with the other girls. I should’ve told her that she wasn’t any special.
But I wasn’t able to, and that pisses me off.
I was so angry that the moment I entered the bar I punched the closest man near me who happens to be one of the newbies. Everybody noticed my mood and some went quiet while others started beating up the newbie I just punched.
I saw Ciel, my best friend leaning against the bar drinking beer. “What’s got you all pissed? Did some chick reject you?” he asked.
I rolled my eyes as I grabbed a billiard stick. “No, it’s nothing.” Was all I said as I started playing billiard with a few buddies of mine. “Fran told me that you’re hanging out with some doctor chick or at least that’s what Fran’s friends told her.” Ciel said.
“Just another one of my conquests.” I said casually.
“Speaking of conquests… one of your conquests was just here looking for you.” Ciel told me. I raised my eyebrow and asked “Who?”
“The French girl.” Ciel couldn’t remember her name.
“Ah… Isabella, she still can’t accept that we can’t be more than friends. She always stops by and confesses her undying love. Quite annoying if you ask me.” I said.
“When are you going to settle down Zen?” Ciel asked.
“Just because you settled down with red locks doesn’t mean I should settle down as well.” I told him. At times like this I would fantasize about Lucy and I in the same bed or better yet a hot tub. But in the middle of me fantasizing an image of Lucy smiling at me. My hand gripped the billiard stick tightly as I shook with anger. One of the guys that played billiard with me noticed it and was about to ask “What’s the matter Z—” But before he could finish his sentence I whacked him with the billiard stick making the stick break in half.
Suddenly I heard a female shriek. “Look at what we have here guys.” One of the guys announced. I bet they either found a lost woman or a woman that they picked up from somewhere. But I wasn’t expecting a very familiar voice call out my name.
“Zen!”
My head quickly snapped up to see the girl that they have found to see that it was none other than Lucy. She still wore the same clothes when we ran into each other at the hospital.
“Is this one of your previous conquests Zen?” one of guys asked. For some reason seeing them touching what’s mine made me furious.
“Let her go.” I said calmly but it’s as if they didn’t hear me. When they didn’t listen to me and proceeded to shove Lucy around I grabbed a beer bottle from Ciel’s hands, not caring if he’s not done with it. I threw it across the room to make it shatter at the wall behind the guys catching all of their attention including Lucy’s.
“I said let her go.” I growled making every one step away from Lucy. I didn’t like it when my conquests would come all the way here where I could be free. It frustrated me to no end. I stormed over to Lucy and grabbed her wrist then proceeded to drag her to my apartment above the bar.
Once we were inside of my apartment I let go of Lucy’s wrist and folded my arms in front of my chest and demanded “What the fuck are you doing here?” She straightened out her clothes and stood bravely in front of me but before she could explain herself I then asked another question “How do you know I was here?”
“I followed you.” she said.
She definitely wanted the D.
I slowly walked towards her but the closer I got the more she took steps back. That’s until her back hit the wall and there was no escape. I put my hands on both sides of her and leaned towards her and said “You know… you coming here means you want me, and by that I mean you want me inside you.” Her eyes never leaving mine. She unexpectedly grabbed my shirt and yanked me closer to her where our lips were only centimeters apart and she uttered words that made me come undone.
“I’m yours for tonight.”
