Chapter 9
Zen
After visiting her in the hospital and paying the hospital bills I waited for Lucy in front of the entrance. I may not show it but I was happy that Lucy was back with me. What made me even happier was that she didn’t make it hard or dramatic when I came back. She was understanding and patient which is what I love about her.
Ciel even called me to see if I wanted to do a fight but I wanted to spend tonight with my Lucy rather than a bunch of ugly sweaty assholes. Although I did need the money, I will just sign up for another job next week meaning I would have to work twice as hard. I needed to pay the hospital bills, I was already behind and I couldn’t afford to get kicked out of the hospital.
She didn’t have any insurance neither did I and it only created problems for the both of us.
I quickly snapped out of my trance when Lucy jogged out of the hospital. Her face was expressionless for a minute but once she saw me a wide genuine smile painted her lovely face. I was ecstatic that she only shows that smile for me. I felt like a mischievous guy with a huge secret.
“Zen.” she greeted me with her smile. I had to hold myself back since her smile instantly turned me on. I smirked at her as I said “Ready to go home sexy doctor?” But before we could start heading towards her apartment where I’ll turn her around and pound her over and over again somebody decided to stop us.
“Lucy!” he called out.
We both turned around to see Ezra running out of the hospital. It wasn’t like Ezra to stay at the hospital this much. I remember Ezra pestering Ciel to go to other businesses either it was in New York or elsewhere. Maybe Ezra had a reason to stay at the hospital more and I wasn’t talking about work-related reasons as my eyes glided over to my Lucy. Yes. My Lucy.
Ezra walked over to us and I didn’t miss as he glared daggers at me. Ezra’s eyes softened when he looked at Lucy and asked “I’ll ask again Lucy, and I’m just asking because I’m concerned for your well-being. Is Zen bothering or threatening you in any way?”
I didn’t hesitate as I stepped forward and pushed Lucy behind me and glared down on Ezra. “What makes you think I’m bothering her? For all I know it could be you who is bothering her.” I hissed not bothering to mask my anger. My Lucy doesn’t need to show this man anger because I’ll get angry for her.
“I’m concerned because for a whole week Lucy hasn’t been herself. She’s been clumsy at work not to mention her mind is always in the clouds. It’s not like her then all of a sudden you appear and she seemed to be alright. It seems suspicious.” he explained.
“Maybe she was thinking of me fucking her.” I said with a smirk. I felt Lucy grab my arm as she gave it a light squeeze. She mumbled “Zen, he’s still my boss.” I didn’t care who this man was, he needed to back off from what’s mine.
“Why don’t you just stop being so full of yourself and stop bothering Lucy as well. She don’t need people like you in her life.” Ezra said as he stepped forward and grabbed Lucy’s arm, and just the sight of his hand holding Lucy’s made me lose my mind.
I couldn’t fight the urge this time, this man has been lucky for a long time. It’s about time I lost it in front of him especially when he provoked me first. I pulled my hand back and gave a direct punch to his face making him stumble back. Lucy gasp at my sudden reaction but I wasn’t going to pity her boss.
“Keep your filthy hands off my girlfriend!” I snarled at Ezra. I don’t know why I said girlfriend I was just too frustrated to think that all I want was for Ezra to leave Lucy the fuck alone. Ezra clutched his face and said “You know I can ruin you for that.” My heart started racing at the thought of him ruining me, meaning he would also ruin her who needed medical attention and I couldn’t take that from her. But I managed to keep my cool.
Lucy stepped forward and said “Please Ezra don’t do that. I apologize for Zen’s actions,” I scoffed at her words not wanting to apologize even if Lucy begged it from me. I’m not as soft as Ciel nor will I ever be.
“I promise you that I’m with Zen on my own free will. I want to be with Zen.” She’ll never know how much those words mean to me. Ezra wouldn’t stop glaring at me and I don’t blame him because it’s the same with me but when his eyes lands on Lucy it softens.
“I’m sorry if my actions or words upset you Lucy. I do care for you but if you truly feel something for Zen then I won’t stop you nor can I help you if he ever decides to leave you.” Ezra said. His words angered me, she doesn’t need your care nor your help when she has me.
“I know but I trust Zen even though sometimes he can be an idiot.” she suddenly said which caught my attention. Since when did Lucy get the guts to call me an idiot? Ezra smirked as he nodded then left.
“Since when did I became an idiot?” I asked her as I folded my arms in front of my chest. “Since you kissed me back at Fancy Cups.” she stated. She was talking about the first time we met which was after fighting Ciel.
“Speaking of Fancy Cups, why were you in a fight?” she asked curiously. I smirked and said “Who knows I must’ve staged the whole thing just so I could kiss these lips of yours.” As I caressed her lips with my hand. She blushed and I knew that I was going to take her tonight.
“So that means you’re not going to tell me?” she asked. Smart girl.
I wasn’t going to tell her that I was testing out Ciel’s girl. I know I fight with Ciel all the time and we tend to ignore each other at times but I do care for the guy. Before she can say another word I pressed my lips upon hers not only to shut her up but to also satisfy my needs. I wanted more of her.
The kiss was tender at first but when I needed more I started becoming rough but all of a sudden she lightly pushed me away and said “Not here Zen, we’re technically still at my work.” She’s such a tease.
As we started walking towards her apartment she said “Aren’t you going to tell me to stay away from Ezra? Ezra been telling me to stay away from you.” I smirked and replied “But you just can’t stay away from me, can you?” she blushed at my words but I continued on “I’m not going to tell you to stay away from him, it’s your life. But you should know that you’re mine and mine only.”
She suddenly grabbed my arm as we started walking. I never liked holding a girl’s hand or a girl holding me but for some reason Lucy holding my arm felt right. The walk to her apartment was filled with a comfortable silence.
I was too excited when we arrived at her apartment that I simply couldn’t wait as I pushed her up against her door making her drop her keys. She was trying to scold me by telling me that her neighbors can see us but I shut her up with a kiss as it becomes passionate, fighting to get my tongue inside her mouth.
When I lifted her up in my arms making her wrap her long slender legs around my waist, she gasped at the sudden action giving me a quick opportunity to put my tongue inside her mouth making our tongues dance together passionately. We both parted to breathe some air and I was about to start devouring her neck when all of a sudden my phone started to vibrate, and my phone only vibrate when I receive messages from the hospital.
I put Lucy down on the ground and told her “Hold on.” I said as I took my phone out and stepped away from Lucy. I could tell that my sudden change of mood was confusing but I didn’t want Lucy to find out about her.
The hospital was telling me that she was looking for me since she just had a panic attack. I sighed to myself knowing I wasn’t going to get any tonight.
“Hey Lucy, sorry but I’ve got to go.” I told her as I started walking away but she grabbed my sleeve like she did before and asked the question I didn’t want to hear “Where are you going?”
I didn’t want Lucy to know about her and I didn’t want her to find out about Lucy. It would only create stress and frustrations. Not to mention that she was a patient at the hospital that Lucy works at.
I couldn’t think of a good excuse instead I gave her the same answer like I did always.
“It’s none of your business.”
