Chapter 121
Zeno watched as the car came to a stop behind Sebastian's car, he knew they had gotten to their destination.
"We just gave to stay here and observe," Nicholas said to Zeno.
Zeno simply nodded, quietly looking out of the window.
Meyer opened the car and left; he walked over to Sebastian, and Zeno kept watching from the window.
Sebastian's eyes caught him from the side mirror, and he removed his eyes from him.
Sebastian stood in front of him and pointed his hand in the opposite direction.
"The house is over there; Darren will come from the other side so he won't see us; a few official agents are already hiding away inside the house; they would wait to capture all the evidence before they arrest him. I don't have almost the time to water here, so, Andre, ask Ida to give Darren a call and tell him that he's ready to meet him. Florence, Meyer, you both go stand with Ida; you're his; what's it called?" He raised a brow at Meyer.
"His associates?" Meyer provided.
"Whatever, just go," Sebastian ordered.
"Yes, boss," Meyer replied and walked away with Florence.
"Darren is not worth my time, I'll leave him to the boys," Sebastian leaned against his car, checking his phone.
"Hey, I wanted to ask..." Ezra leaned beside Sebastian.
Sebastian gave him a short look and looked back at his phone, "What?"
Ezra sighed. "I don't mean to intrude, but, the club you plan on heading to after here, I don't think it's safe for you and Zeno to walk in there and directly ask for their boss, I mean, they've openly targeted you, shot Zeno and are obviously out to drag down your business. I know you're strong, you've got back up and all, but I don't recommend delivering yourself or your boyfriend to whoever those people are," He advised.
Sebastian was quietly reasoning what Ezra had said, it made a lot of sense, but he was still trying to figure out the face behind the barcode sigh, whoever they were, they had proved to be dangerous, and walking himself to them would be very stupid, still, he was still going to check out the club, mot juts him or Zeno.
He needed someone who wasn't known to be affiliated with the underworld dealings, someone like Ezra.
He turned to Ezra and stared at him, thinking of how to ask him.
Ezra saw Sebastian staring at him and smiled, "I know that look, but you don't have to worry, that's why I came...my Job was been quite tiring and boring lately; I need some spice," He winked at Sebastian.
Sebastian chuckled; he knew Ezra still had his wild side to him; it was for the sake of his profession that Ezra put on the needy good boy clothing. Ezra had been in the streets, and he knew his onions.
"You sure you can do that?" Sebastian asked to be sure he wasn't forcing his friend to enter an enemy's den.
"I'm sure, what's there? You just need me to question the three guys, right?" Ezra asked.
Sebastian nodded, "Yeah, and any other person who's willing to speak to you," He added.
Ezra nodded, "Easy easy," He smiled.
Sebastian nodded and leaned away from the car, heading toward Nicholas' car.
Ezra sighed and followed him, he knew Sebastian wasn't going to be able to keep his distance from Zeno.
From the car, Nicholas saw Sebastian walking toward them and said to Zeno, "Maybe we should step out; they're heading this way?" He said and unlocked the car.
Zeno looked and saw Sebastian truly heading his way, he didn't want to speak to him yet, so he quickly got out of the car and walked to the other side so that Sebastian couldn't speak to him.
"Hey, everything going smoothly in there?" Nicholas asked Sebastian.
Sebastian nodded, "Ida just sent a text; Darren had just arrived; it'll be over soon," He replied, looking over at the other side of the car at Zeno, who was leaning against the passenger's door.
"Awesome, I want to leave trust place already; it's quiet and lonely; I wonder how it'll be at night," Nicholas frowned.
"You can stick around to find out," Sebastian tapped his shoulder and walked away when a call came into his phone.
Nicholas scoffed, "No, thanks," He muttered.
He suddenly noticed Ezra coming towards him and quickly wore an icy expression on his face, he didn't want Ezra to speak to him.
Ezra simply stood beside Nicholas, not saying a word. He stared at the building Darren had entered and wondered what was really going on in there.
Zeno watched Sebastian speak to someone over the phone; he watched him from the moment he answered the call to the moment he hung up. He quickly looked away as Sebastian turned to him.
He remained in his position as Sebastian walked up to him, it would be too petty of him to walk away.
Ezra saw Sebastian walking over to Zeno and decided to speak to Nicholas.
"Hey," Ezra turned his head to Nicholas.
Nicholas frowned and slowly looked at Ezra, "What?" He questioned.
Ezra moved closer and asked in a low voice, "You like Zeno, too?" He smirked at him.
Nicholas didn't understand why Ezra was suddenly asking him such a random question but he replied anyway. "Yes, why?"
Ezra nodded his head to the other side of the car where Zeno was standing. "Then maybe it's time you see this," He said.
"I don't know why I have to be the one to tell everyone," Ezra muttered.
Nicholas didn't like Ezra's tone, but he still turned his head to look at Zeno; he was curious to know what Ezra was talking about.
He saw Sebastian walking toward Zeno and fully turned his body so he could stare at them.
Ezra knew that Nicholas was about to face heartbreak. He could already see the look of sad look on his face, but he just shrugged and minded his business; he'd faced his alone, and Nicholas would be fine.
Sebastian reached Zeno's side and stood beside him. He leaned beside, his hand moved over to Zeno's side and held his hand.
Zeno refused, looking around him; he kept looking ahead, finding a tree that was standing at a distance to be quite interesting at the moment.
"Hey," Sebastian spoke gently.
Zeno sighed, he glanced at Sebastian and removed gus eyes again. "You framed me, made me look like a bad person. You even made me suffer for things I didn't do," His voice was quiet.
He tried to remove his hand from Sebastian's but Sebastian held it tightly.
"Don't go... Zeno, I know I was wrong; all my past actions towards you are unforgivable, and I understand if you can never forgive me even though I really want you to, but that's okay; you can be mad at me for however long you want. Just..don't keep your distance from me, you know that's my biggest weakness. Please?" He moved closer to Zeno, the hand that was holding Zeno's hand now came up to his waist.
Zeno bit his lips, slowly nodding; he didn't want to keep the distance either; he knew Sebastian was facing a lot at the moment, and it would be insensitive of him to be one of them.
Sebastian saw Zeno nod and smiled, "Does this mean you forgive me?" He whispered beside Zeno's ear.
Zeno leaned his face away and nodded, "Yes, but don't get too comfortable just yet bro," He said.
Zeno blinked as he saw Sebastian standing in front of him in the blink of an eye, his hands beside his head on the car.
Sebastian's face was serious as he stared down at Zeno, his eyes narrowing. "Just to be clear, Baby girl, what did you call me?" His voice was low and dangerous.
Zeno refused to speak, he shook his head and paced a hand on Sebastian's chest.
Sebastian put a finger under Zeno's chin and raised his face, "I'm in no way your brother, baby girl..." He paused and put his mouth on Zeno's ear, "Brothers don't put each other's cock in their mouth,"
"Sebastian!" Zeno whisper-yelled, but Sebastian wasn't phased.
Sebastian brought his lips close to Zeno's and continued, "Brothers, don't fuck, Zeno...and they don't do this either," He covered his lips over Zeno's, kissing him openly.
He didn't care who was watching, in fact, he wanted Nicholas to see it so he knew there was no more room for his unnecessary flirting with Zeno.
The moment Sebastian kissed Zeno, Nicholas turned away from them, balled his fists, and clenched his jaws.
He had already guessed what was going on from the moment Sebastian met Zeno, but he had wanted to confirm if his instincts were real; alas, they were.
He was heartbroken, and that wasn't even the worst part; he felt stupid and used; why did Zeno ever lead him on if he already had someone he liked, and that someone happened to be Sebastian? Out of all the men in the world, it had to be Sebastian.
"Suck it up, Nick, Life happens," Ezra suddenly said beside him and walked away, heading back to Sebastian's car.
