Chapter 130
Ezra sat on the sofa that early in the morning and grumbled like a child; he couldn't do it; he couldn't keep Nicholas with him for however long it was going to take Sebastian to settle his problems.
He wasn't ready for it; he wouldn't survive it; going from not liking someone to living with them was a heavy move, and it was going to be very hard.
He sighed and fell back on the sofa, lying his head on the arm. "Damn it," He looked at his ceiling, thinking about he was going to get through this period.
He heard the door to his room opening and knew that Nicholas was awake and walking towards him. Here came trouble, early morning trouble. He couldn't even have a quiet morning anymore.
He closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep as Nicholas approached him.
Nicholas stopped beside the sofa, looking down at Ezra's face, who was pretending to sleep, "I'm leaving," He announced and proceeded to walk past him.
Ezra flew his eyes open and immediately sat up, stretched his hand, and grabbed Nicholas' arm.
"Wait," Ezra gently drew Nicholas back and made him stand in front of him.
Nicholas had a frown on his face as he stood in front of Ezra, he looked unhappy. "What's the problem, Nick? Look at the clock; it's quite early; how about you wait till sunrise? We'll take it from there," Ezra suggested.
Ezra didn't know how to tell Nicholas that he couldn't leave, he knew Nicholas wouldn't agree to the arrangement he had with Sebastian.
Nicholas stared hard at Ezra and removed his hand from Ezra, "You want to keep me locked in your house, right? Do you really think I'd want that?" He questioned.
Ezra frowned, "You heard?" He asked.
Nicholas nodded.
Ezra chuckled, "Then you should know that I don't want you here. I don't like it either, but it's for your safety, it's not like I care, it's Sebastian's idea. Don't deceive yourself to think that I want you beside me," he stood and leaned his face closer to Nicholas.
"Don't worry, it'll be like I'm not here, I'm always in my study or at work, it's rent-free, enjoy it," He whispered and walked past Nicholas
"I don't care what you say, Ezra, I'm leaving," Nicholas commented.
Ezra paused and turned back to Nicholas, "You know what?" He walked back to Nicholas and stood in front of him, "There's no need for you to stress yourself, I've seen you want to die, going out there and giving yourself to the bad guys. Why not save them the stress of searching for you and save yourself the stress of hiding from them? I'll make it easier for both teams, let me just make a call to Baron and inform him that I've got their suspect right here, it'll save us all the strength, at least, Sebastian could ease off bothering himself with that part of the problem," He locked his eyes on Nicholas and pulled his phone out from his pocket, pressing in a number.
"You bastard!" Nicholas grabbed the phone from Ezra and stepped away from him.
Ezra smirked, "What?" He asked with a raised brow, "Don't you want to leave anymore?" He smiled.
Nicholas glared at Ezra before looking at the screen of the phone; he frowned when he saw the name on the screen, "Who the fuck is Pole? I thought you were about to call the Baron guy?" He found himself asking.
Ezra nodded, "They are the same; they work for the same person; since I don't have Baron's contact, Pole can as well relay the message for me. Wait, does it even matter who I call? The only important thing is that you get killed in the end," He moved closer, "Now, my phone," he stretched his hand out to Nicholas.
Nicholas frowned, he hated this situation, and he hated Ezra, he angrily threw the phone on the sofa and was about to walk away but Ezra caught his arm and drew him back himself, their bodies close, chests were almost touching and their faces were barely a breath away from each other; Nicholas was for the first time, speechless as he stared at Ezra's serious face.
"Now, let's make something clear. Right here, in my house, I'm doing you a fucking favor, that attitude of yours, flush it down the drain. At least being nice to someone who's doing you such a huge favor shouldn't be a problem; for fuck's sake, I don't even expect a normal conversation from you; I expect nothing from you. You don't like me, I don't like you, it's established, but as adults, we have to have a level of mutual respect. Especially right now, I demand you fucking respect me, respect my property," He pointed at his phone that was lying on the sofa, "And fucking act like a responsible man, you're a CEO, act like one, I never expected to teach an adult simple courtesy, but here I am, so, Mr. Grumpy, fix your attitude," He surprisingly kissed Nicholas' forehead and walked past him, he picked his phone and walked into his study.
"You can go back to sleep, you'll take your medication in three hours," Ezra informed and shut his door.
Nicholas was still frozen in place; he was trying to understand what had just happened; why the fuck did Ezra kiss his forehead? It made his brain stop functioning for a while, and he wasn't about to let that go just like that.
He turned and marched toward the study, he reached the door and pushed it open, walking in immediately.
Ezra saw the person walking into his study and sighed, he was sitting on his chair as he slowly raised his head to look at him.
"You said you hated me," Nicholas asked angrily in front of Ezra's table.
Ezra shrugged, "Yeah," He replied and drew a book to his front, he opened the book but had it slammed closed by Nicholas.
"We talked about the attitude, Nicholas, what's this?" Ezra frowned up at him.
Nicholas walked around the table and held Ezra's collar, forcing his face up, "Once again, you said you hate me, am I right?" He asked menacingly.
Ezra's face remained passive, "Correct,"
"Then, why the fuck did you do that?!" Nicholas raised his voice.
Ezra smirked, "Do what?" He asked innocently.
"Bastard!" He raised his hand to punch Ezra but stopped midair, he took a deep breath and lowered his raised hand to his side, tightening his hand on Nicholas' collar.
"Why did you kiss me? No, why did you kiss my forehead?" He asked calmly, but he was seething in anger.
"Did it annoy you?" Ezra questioned in a calm voice.
Nicholas scoffed, "I'm irritated, Ezra, nauseous," he spat out.
Ezra chuckled, "Then it worked; I intended to annoy you, getting a kiss from me must be a nightmare for you, right?" He asked.
"Stop playing with me! Why did you it?" Nicholas shook Ezra's collar.
Ezra placed a hand on Nicholas' hand on his collar, "Chill, chill, it's just reversed psychology. We're so used to violence, I decided to piss you off in some other way, which worked from what I see. It's that simple; giving a simple kiss to an enemy renders them speechless and tactless, leaving them feeling hopeless, helpless, and confused, just like you're feeling right now. Now, get your hands off me and-"
Ezra's eyes widened in utter shock as he felt Nicholas' lips on his. His brain shut down for a second before he came back to his senses and realized that Nicholas had just placed his lips on his, still, this wasn't the plot he was expecting.
He forcefully pushed Nicholas away and sprang up from his chair, giving Nicholas a death glare, "And what's this supposed to be, Nicholas?" His voice was low and angry.
Nicholas now had a satisfied grin on his face, he walked back and stood in front of Ezra, "How do you like the reversed psychology now, Doc? Was it good?" He chuckled.
Ezra was boiling as he stared at Nicholas. He wanted to give him a jab to the abdomen, but he was injured; he would still be the one to treat him if he hurt him, which would be a waste of his time.
"Get out of my study, Nicholas; I need to work," He turned away from Nicholas, but before he could reach his seat, he was pulled back by Nicholas, who had a daring look in his eyes.
"Maybe the kiss wasn't enough to annoy you, how about I fuck you, Doc?" Nicholas smirked at him.
Ezra suddenly laughed softly, he placed a hand on Nicholas' lower back and leaned his face down to his, "Fuck me? You must be mistaken, Nicholas. I'm taller, bigger, and my thing down there? Definitely bigger than yours, I'm a top, ain't nobody bending me over, if we were to do it, I'd be the one bending your ass over."
