Chapter 157: Chapter 156
Zeno slowly turned to the lady beside Sebastian, "I’m sorry, Ma’am, I can’t serve you any drink, he left
with no information," He said and calmly moved over to the next custor beside the lady.
"Sebastian, what are you doing?" Zeno heard the lady ask Sebastian.
It was none of his business; his job was to serve them whenever they were ready, not to indulge in so stupid conversation.
Zeno had just finished serving the latest custor, successfully ignoring Sebastian and his girlfriend when soone sneaked up behind him, hugging him from behind.
"Boo!" Baby peered her head out from Zeno’s shoulder.
Zeno turned his head and stared at Baby, a smile tainting his lips.
"Baby, you’re sneaking off work again," Zeno gently held her hand and brought her out from behind him.
"Well, you owe
a kiss, rember?" She whispered.
Sebastian’s attention was completely placed on Zeno, from the mont he heard Zeno call soone ’Baby’
’Who the fuck was she?’ Sebastian battled internally.
He said sothing to the lady beside him before shifting so he sat on the stool in front of Zeno.
"You need to redeem the kiss right now?" Zeno asked Baby, not thinking she would agree.
"Yes, I did slap that bastard at the gym, so I need my kiss now," She winked at him.
"I couldn’t concentrate while I attended the tables; I need to do it and get it off my head; it’s distracting ," Baby confessed, caressing Zeno’s cheek.
"Here?" Zeno asked.
Baby shrugged, "No one cares, I finally get to kiss you, I’m not missing my chance, handso,"
"I need a Martini," Sebastian called; he didn’t like the way the girl had her hands all over Zeno; he might be over with Zeno, but he just couldn’t stand the idea of soone touching him.
Zeno heard Sebastian’s voice and sighed; he finally decided to order like a normal person; he was making his night so not fun.
"Fine, you’ll get your kiss after I give that man over there his Martini," Zeno promised.
Baby smiled, "I’ll wait, go ahead," She gave him a seductive look and folded her arms, her breasts pressing up by the action, her revealing shirt wasn’t helping either.
Zeno shook his head at her and turned to pour the drink for Sebastian.
’What the fuck are you staring at?’ Zeno ntally rolled his eyes.
He felt his skin prickling from the way Sebastian was leering at him but he focused on pouring him the drink.
"Here’s your drink, enjoy," He shifted the drink to Sebastian and was shocked when he felt Sebastian hold his hand together with the glass.
Zeno’s brain froze, he was about to raise his head to Sebastian when Baby suddenly grabbed his head toward her and kissed his lips.
"Better than I imagined," She whispered into his ear before running out of the bar.
Sebastian’s hand imdiately left Zeno’s and the sound of a glass shattering on the floor was heard.
Zeno was double-thunderstruck.
He was left wide-eyed.
He had just been trying to understand why he felt Sebastian’s hand on his when his face was suddenly whisked around and kissed.
Sebastian had definitely seen that hence his imdiate withdrawal of his hand from Zeno’s.
Zeno forced himself out of his shock state and slowly turned to Sebastian, who was now looking murderously at him.
Zeno raised a brow at him, "You break, you pay, Mr." He walked away from Sebastian and called a cleaner, who quickly cleared the ss.
Zeno walked back and saw the lady hugging Sebastian’s arm while she spoke to him.
"Are you okay? What happened? Do you need us to go ho?" She asked worriedly.
Sebastian didn’t respond; he simply shook his head at her, removed his hand from hers, and walked away.
Zeno scoffed.
"Dramatic," He went back to serving custors.
He didn’t owe Sebastian any fucking thing. Kissing Baby wasn’t planned, but to hell with him if he’s offended by that.
Sebastian had lost the right to get angry over Zeno’s interaction with other people a year ago, and so did Zeno.
They owed each other nothing; what were all these unspoken feelings of betrayal and longing?
Zeno couldn’t deal with it at this point in his life.
He kissed Baby and he wasn’t apologetic about that; Sebastian could go hug a wet naked wire for all he cared.
He was one to be judgy after leaving his wife and children at ho to be out here with so hot chick.
Zeno was really starting to imagine punching Sebastian’s face to a pulp, that would really make him feel ecstatic!
"Zeno," Nicholas returned with a young man beside him.
’Damn,’ Zeno thought as he stared at the man.
For the first ti in a year, Zeno saw soone he was attracted to.
Sothing told him that this man was trouble.
He was a walking sex appeal.
Short hair, tanned skin, stylish.
Zeno could see a rune tattoo peeking out from his buttoned collar. His face was void of emotions, and by good lords,, his eyes were magnetically green, like the dark forest green.
His back pants and fitted back shirt looked both hot and professional, he looked like he had just left an office, but Zeno knew there was nothing professional about that man.
His looks scread danger, maybe, just maybe, a kind of danger Zeno was seeking.
"Zeno," Nicholas called again, dragging Zeno back to reality.
"Nicholas, how may I help you?" He cleared his throat, forcing himself to focus on work.
"This is my friend, Leon, Leon, this is also my friend, Zeno," Nicholas introduced.
Leon’s eyes locked in on Zeno; it was calm, but there was sothing dangerous about his stare, and at that mont, Zeno knew that Leon was attracted to him too; it was the way Leon stared at every part of Zeno’s face.
"Nice to et you, Zeno," Leon stretched out his hand to Zeno.
Zeno bit the insides of his cheek; Leon’s voice was fucking deep, the kind of voice you’d want to hear beside your ear when you...
"Um, nice to et you, too," Zeno forced himself to respond, embarrassed by his thoughts.
He shook Leon’s hand and wasn’t surprised when he kissed the back of his hands.
"I’ll have whatever you serve, Zeno," Leon said as he locked his eyes on Zeno’s, slowly releasing his hand.
"Okay..." Zeno replied and slowly turned away, not missing the weird way Nicholas was staring at him.
He was surprised to see Sebastian back at his spot with his girlfriend; he had thought he had gone ho. Why was he back? Couldn’t he just take a hike?
He mixed the strongest drinks, just for the fun of it; after all, Leon had said he’d drink whatever he served.
He wanted to see how well the sexy man could hold his liquor.
Ignoring Sebastian, he gently placed the drink in front of Leon.
"Here’s your drink," Zeno said.
"Thank you," Leon picked up the ga but didn’t drink it; he slowly unbuttoned the first two buttons of his shirt, and a very un-spottable smirk lifted his lips as he saw Zeno staring.
Zeno couldn’t help stating the now-exposed tattoo that started from above his collarbone to the lower edge of the collarbone.
Maybe this is how Willow saw the different n he took ho each night, if it were so, Zeno could shalessly see himself joining that boat.
He wouldn’t fool himself with love; he would just be out to have fun; he could never risk falling in love again; the jerk who broke his heart was right there, staring at him.
"Nicholas, can your friend join us tonight, maybe we can beco mutual friends," Leon suggested, drinking his shit in one go without blinking.
"Thank you," He placed the drink in front of Zeno.
"You’re welco...." Zeno blinked at glanced at Nicholas.
"Ah, well, that depends on him. Zeno, for you want to sit with us for a while? Morgan is here already," Nicholas pointed at the tomboyish girl walking toward Zeno.
Zeno shrugged, "I don’t m-"
"I need another Martini," Sebastian cut Zeno’s reply off, shifting closer to stand beside Leon.
Nicholas and Leon turned to look at Sebastian in shock; Leon had his expression in better control than Nicholas, who had his mouth opened in shock.
"Long ti no see, Sebastian," Leon offered Sebastian a handshake.
’Damn it, another one of his friends, there goes my good my ti,’ Zeno thought sorrowfully.
He was never going to get down with anyone related to Sebastian; as long as the person was on talking terms with him, he’d avoid any kind of personal relationship with that person; that was his policy: no dating or ssing with exes friends, or acquaintances.
If it was over between them, it had to be over a hundred percent.
Zeno saw how Sebastian stared at Leon’s hand in disdain before he reluctantly shook it briefly and imdiately turned to him.
"I need another drink, Bartender, I’ve got college friends to catch up with," Sebastian gave Zeno a smile.
That smile was loaded with unspoken words, words that might probably cause trouble if ever released... trouble for Zeno’s heart.
