Epilogue
“Happy birthday Francesca!” all of us shouted in unison once Ciel and Fran walked through the doors of Fancy Cups. We had a small surprise party for Fran which was planned by Angela and Stephen. Fran was totally surprised by the amount of decoration in the shop.
Balloons, ribbons, and confetti decorated the coffee shop making it look more festive. We even had cake and a few snacks ready for the party. A big banner was displayed in the front as it read Happy Birthday Habanero!
Ciel was the one who got that, Fran’s reaction towards it was priceless. She even started scolding Ciel for it but he quickly silenced her by pressing his lips against hers. Stephen had to clear his throat for them to break up their kiss or else it would’ve escalated into something more.
Stephen held the cake waiting for Fran to blow the candles. I stood at the side with Zen as we watched the situation unfold. Each of us even gave a gift to Fran, and I was even shock that Ezra gave a gift to Fran. I just found out that Ezra is actually the older brother of Ciel which Zen confirmed. He even told me that’s how he met Ezra and grew to hate the guy, hate is a strong word but it’s the right word.
It was only us who attended Fran’s birthday party since we wanted to keep it small and intimate.
“Ciel, leave the poor girl alone. If she wants to drink more wine then she can drink more wine.” Zen told Ciel as Ciel tried telling Fran not to drink more wine since she was growing tipsy.
“Stay out of this! It’s none of your business!” Ciel growled which only made Zen angrier. They both literally started growling at each other. “Maybe if you treated your girl right then she wouldn’t have resulted to drinking.” Zen took a jab at Ciel.
“The only reason why she’s drinking is because she has to see your pathetic excuse of a face.” Ciel shouted.
“Watch what you’re saying! You might be the strongest fighter but we both know that your temper could also get someone else hurt.” Zen smirked at his comeback.
“Oh yeah? That includes your girlfriend?” This time it was Ciel’s turn to smirk. Zen stormed up to Ciel as they both had some sort of glaring contest.
“No one is going to hurt Lucy especially by the likes of you.” Zen hissed. My heart pumped faster at his words. I wanted to swoon but this was Fran’s time to celebrate.
I had to pry Zen away from Ciel before a brawl could break out. Stephen pointed where the employee lounge was so I can take Zen and cool his head.
“Zen, today is Fran’s birthday. It be best not to ruin it.” I told him. He nodded but then he unexpectedly close the distance between us and brushed his lips against mine. Not innocently, like a tease but hot, passionate, and demanding. In this heated moment, I can no longer think straight. His hand resting below my ear, his thumb caressing my cheek as our breaths mingled.
“Lucy.” he whispers slowly, prolonging each letter as if to savor them. My arms reached up and tangled around his thick, strong neck as I also tangled my fingers into the tips of his long hair.
The moment was completely breathtaking. How can one guy who seems so imperfect be so perfect? I felt like I was melting to the ground because of the heat emanating from his body. Not to mention his eyes were filled with desire that made my legs quiver in need.
I was completely unprepared as he lips pressed roughly against mine which lit my soul on fire and the warmth spread throughout my entire body. Just like all his other kisses, it was amazing as it obliterated every thought. I was consumed by him as our lips moved in sync. I didn’t want the kiss to end but sadly we had to pull away in order for us to catch a breath.
His hands slipped under the hem of my shirt, caressing my bare skin. His touch was seductive and comforting all at the same time.
“I need you so badly that I could simply turn you over on this table and take you.” he growled in my ear as he pressed his hips against mine. I could feel his excited hard member poking me, it only added to the pleasure which made me moan out loud and grind against his hardened member. He crushed our lips together once more as our kiss grew hot and passionate.
His hands became daring as they traveled higher and higher up underneath my shirt until he stopped at the hem of my bra. I wanted more of him that I forgot where we were. I could feel my want only growing by each second.
All of a sudden somebody barged into the room. “Hey you horny bastards! When we said cool his head off we didn’t mean make out.” Ciel shouted as he just stared at us with a deadpan look. Zen broke away from the kiss as he glared daggers at his so called best friend.
“You sure know how to set the mood Ciel.” Zen said sarcastically. Ciel smiled and said “Oh, I can set a mood if you’d like… just the two of us.” As Ciel gave a pout and a smirk. Zen laughed as he playfully punched Ciel and they both started playing rough with each other until they arrived where everyone was celebrating the party leaving me all hot and bothered in the lounge.
I touched my lips that still tingled from Zen’s kiss. Zen suddenly came back to the lounge as he held out his hand for me to take. “Hey, let’s go back to the party. It would be no fun if you aren’t with me.” he said. I smiled as I happily took his hand in mine.
I’m glad that Zen is mine and I am his. Even though Zen was known to be dangerous and a bad boy still he was my Zen, to me he is different. And I wouldn’t have it any other way.
