Chapter 176
Zeno looked for Nicholas in the club but couldn't find him, he wanted to know what he had discussed with Sebastian, but as he was nowhere to be seen, he decided to retire for the night.
The loud music and people's drama were no longer interesting to him; he just wanted to go up to his quiet room and block out everyone and everything.
He saw Morgan waving at him as he left the club; he returned her with a shirt, heading right out.
Zeno was texting Nicholas as he walked along the passage, asking him to come to his room as soon as he could.
"Fuck...not again," He paused when he reached the foot of the stairs, and the familiar scent of cigarette wafted into his nose.
He knew Sebastian was there before he even raised his face to look up the stairs.
He leaned beside the wall, one of his legs raised behind him to support himself on the wall, his eyes darkly pinned on Zeno.
Zeno sighed, 'Pretend he's not there,' he told himself and resumed walking up the stairs.
He walked, pocketing his phone and keeping his phone devoid of any emotion.
As Zeno neared Sebastian, he felt his heart racing faster. He almost wanted to turn around and go somewhere else, but it would only give Sebastian the impression that he was still affected by him, which wasn't the image he wanted to create for Sebastian.
Zeno clenched his jaws as he stepped on the last step that led him up to Sebastian's position; he made his steps faster, needing to be out of his sight immediately.
He did.
Or he thought he did.
Zeno cursed under his breath when he felt Sebastian's hand grab his wrist, however, unlike the Sebastian he knew that would have dragged him back and forced him to listen to him, he simply held his wrist and walked up behind him.
"Can I speak to you, please," Sebastian's voice asked behind Zeno.
"Let go of hand or I'll call the security on you," Zeno warned, not looking at him.
Sebastian did release his hand, but as Zeno wanted to walk away, he asked a question that made Zeno snap his head to him.
"Are you fucking Cassian?" Sebastian blurted out; he wanted to rile Zeno up, and at the same time, he wanted to know the truth; his mind hadn't been at peace since he saw them together.
The moment Zeno heard Sebastian's question, he paused and slowly turned to look at him. The anger that he had been trying to tame down came rushing right back inside him.
He stared at Sebastian with so much anger that he wanted to punch him, and if Sebastian said one more annoying word to him, he'd drop professionalism and fight him.
"What did you say?" Zeno asked, still maintaining a distance from Sebastian.
Sebastian smirked, "I asked, Zeno; are you fucking Cassian - Ugh!" He doubled over in pain, he had expected a punch, not a freaking kick to the ribs.
"Shit, my rubs hurt, Zeno," Sebastian groaned, wincing in pain.
"Go now, before I really call the security on you," Zeno glared at him and walked away.
"Damn," Sebas grunted and looked up to see Zeno walking away from him, he groaned and straightened up.
He needed to speak to Zeno, whether he wanted to or not.
Zeno was just about to open his door when he was dragged away from it, the next thing he felt was his back hitting the opposite wall, followed by Sebastian's tall figure shadowing his view.
"What the fuck is wrong with you?!" Zeno shouted at him.
"I need to speak to you," Sebastian replied calmly.
Zeno scoffed, "I don't fucking want to speak to you, we're typically strangers, and this is an assault," He breathed angrily.
He pushed against Sebastian's chest, but his wrists were caught and pinned above his head.
"Stop this madness!" Zeno warned.
Sebastian smirked, "Don't make me do things, Zeno; calm down and listen to me," He said quietly.
Zeno was frustrated, angry, and betrayed.
Frustrated with Sebastian's stubbornness, angry at Sebastian's audacity, and betrayed by himself.
He felt betrayed because a part of him wanted to actually listen to what Sebastian had to say, a part of him that just wanted to hear the reason why he had hurt them so badly in the past.
"Fuck off, Sebastian, read my lips, I -"
Sebastian's dark chuckle cut him off, "Oh, I'm reading them, baby girl, and they are asking me to kiss them," He whispered fervently close to Zeno's lips.
Zeno gulped, 'Fucking bastard, stay away from me,' But he couldn't say it out, he was hypnotized by the way Sebastian's lips moved closer to his, but the moment Sebastian wanted to actually kiss him, he knead him on the groin and pushed him off when he was in pain.
Zeno never expected Sebastian to be very, very stubborn because, in the next second, he was right back with his back pressed on the wall.
"Are you stu-" He didn't get to finish his words, Sebastian's lips crashed against his, simply molesting his poor lips.
Zeno's brain simply zipped open his skull and flew out to the floor because he immediately forgot how to think at that moment.
Sebastian was kissing him, after a whole year!
He was frozen, incapable of accepting or protesting.
But it seemed like his brain jumped right back into his head when he felt Sebastian's hand going down his back; he did the only things he could do in his half-paralysed state.
"Jesus, Zeno!" Sebastian reeled back in pain, a look of hurt and rejection masking his face as he sucked his bleeding side lip into his mouth.
Zeno felt accomplished for causing him pain, he walked up to him and pointed a finger to Sebastian's face, "I don't know you, you don't know me; leave me alone, I don't give a fuck about what you have to say, your words are the same with the words of a dead man. You're dead to me, Sebastian, don't make me hate you more than I already do," He said and turned away from Sebastian.
"You can ask nicely, and I'll fuck you, Zeno; you don't need Leon, Cassian, or even that little bitch of yours. Don't sell yourself short," Sebastian taunted behind him.
Zeno was unlocking his door when he heard Sebastian's words; he so wanted to turn around and kill Sebastian, but he'd just be playing along with Sebastian's tone.
He'd just realized that Sebastian was doing everything to get him close to him.
He ignored Sebastian and entered his room, making sure he locked his door perfectly, he didn't want the psycho outside to infiltrate his room while he was sleeping.
Zeno immediately got a message from Nicholas telling him he'd be busy with clients for the rest of the night.
Zeno instantly knew that he was avoiding him.
He wants about Nicholas; he'd still see him at home in the morning, and there would be no running for him.
As for Sebastian, Zeno kept cursing his body and heart.
How could they lose focus with just a clumsy kiss and a little touch?
He wasn't going to dwell on what just happened outside his door; he was going to dwell on how much he'd missed being in Sebastian's arms, feeling his lips on his, hearing his voice very close to his ear.
He shook his head, "Fuck Sebastian Orion...he's dead to me," Zeno muttered and fell back on his bed, shutting his eyes tightly to stop those stupid thoughts from entering his head.
Outside the door, Sebastian stared at Zeno's door in contemplation, "I don't have to stop you, go in, trust me, he was being merciful with the lip... the guy hates you now, he'd kill you if you dared to break in," Nicholas' voice spoke from behind Sebastian, forcing him to look away from the door.
Sebastian sighed, "You saw?"
"Oh, I've just finished my popcorn; it was nice seeing you get beat," Nicholas replied with a satisfied smile, "Trust me, I would have bit off your tongue and swallowed it if I were Zeno," He smirked.
Sebastian slowly nodded, "Agreed," He smiled.
Nicholas could see hurt in Sebastian's eyes, "Look man, if you really want him back, your monster approach is not going to work, as of now, Zeno hates you -"
"You don't know that," Sebastian cut him off with a frown.
Nicholas chuckled, "Oh, I know, he hates you so much," he smirked.
Sebastian's frown deepened, his mind thinking of the fastest way to make Zeno forgive him.
"Try using some softer method of approaching him, trust me, Leon is a master in the art of softly approaching people he wants. When you do, maybe Zeno would come to realize that he'd really missed you. Be free, I mean, break whatever relationship you have with Sakura, be ready to stand beside him, prove to him that you're still the stupid man he once loved... then maybe, I said 'maybe' he can let you in. Don't take my word for it, you might still end up getting your ass whooped in the end, but it would be good to see you're trying," Nicholas patted his shoulder and walked over to his room.
The mentioning of Lein made Sebastian realize that there was actually a probability that Zeno might actually be interested in that snake and wasn't just interacting with him to spite him.
Then, he was left with no choice but to use his trump card; it always worked like magic.
However, if his trump card doesn't work, which he doubts, he would just have to add Leon to his body count, yeah...that kind of body count.
