Chapter 187
Sebastian was to wake up, as he expected.
Zeno wouldn't be able to wake up for some time; he'd kept him up till very early in the morning; it's not been long before Zeno finally fell asleep.
He stared at Zeno in his arms and smiled, "There's no going back from here, Baby girl," He whispered to the sleeping Zeno.
He kissed Zeno's cheek and gently removed his arm from under his head, replacing it with a pillow. He stared longer at Zeno's face, unable to stop smiling. He'd missed this view for so long, and he bet on his life that this would be his morning, afternoon, and night view from that morning.
There was no way in hell he was letting Zeno take his pretty self away from him, their separation was long overdue. He leaned his face in and placed a short kiss on his lips.
He quietly got down from the bed and properly placed the cover over Zeno's body before walking over to pull his pants in since they'd slept naked.
He glanced at Zeno one last time before he left the room.
Sebastian immediately blocked his door when he stepped out of the room, "What the - stay back," His voice was hushed as he stared at his son in front of his door with shock.
Ken tried to take his father unaware by pushing him away so he could sneak into the room. However, Sebastian had caught him on time by placing a hand on his face, gently pushing him away from his door.
"Ze - mmph!" Sebastian wasted no time in covering Ken's mouth with his hand and lifting him off the floor, carrying him away from the front of his door.
Ken wasn't pleased, he kept mumbling something even as his father's hand remained on his mouth. He struggled as if he was trying to break free from a serious kidnap.
Sebastian dumped Ken on the sofa and glared at him, "What do you think you're doing, young man?" He glared at Ken.
Ken was quiet, blinking innocently at his father, Sebastian thought that he was repentant of his action and started to feel bad for treating him the way he did. However, the moment Sebastian blinked his eyes and opened them, he couldn't find Ken in front of him anymore.
"You son of a biscuit!" He turned and chased Ken, who was halfway up the stairs.
"Caught you, you little rascal," Sebastian placed Ken over his shoulder and this time, he carried him straight out of the house.
"Put me down, Daddy! I know you have Zeno in there, I just want to meet him!" Ken shouted.
Sebastian winced at Ken's loud voice; having his face beside his ear wasn't helping either.
"Come here, Andre," Sebastian waved Andre over.
Andre immediately left Ida, who he was chatting with, and immediately went to Sebastian.
"Yes, boss," He bowed his head to him.
"Here, he's yours for the morning," He dropped Ken into Andre's unwilling arms.
"Put me down, I'm not a baby!" Ken kicked around, and knowingly or knowingly, his leg hit Andre's third leg, causing Andre to drop him and double over in pain.
"Fudge!" Andre cursed in pain.
Sebastian sighed, disappointed at Andre.
He held Ken's hand and lowered himself in front of him, "What do you want?" He asked, maybe a dialogue was all that was missing.
Ken huffed angrily, "You know how much I wanted Zeno back with us, now... now you brought him back, and you kept him all to yourself, isn't that a selfish act, Dad?" Ken raised a brow, just the way Sebastian would.
Sebastian smirked, "Let me get this straight, your healing?" He asked, taunting Ken.
Ken opened his mouth to reply, but no sound came out of it; he frowned and pointed to his father, "Take me to Zeno, now, he wants to see me," He ordered.
"Tsk, you're jealous," Sebastian smiled.
Andre slowly straightened up, drops of sweat forming on his forehead as he could still feel his third leg hurting from that kick.
Ken might be a child, but his boxing lessons made his hits that of an adult; if Ken was an adult, he would have had the face designed by his fist, but he couldn't do anything to a child, and to the son of his boss, it'll be more than just his balls hurting if he dared to do it.
"You see, that's your wing over there," Sebastian pointed to one side of the building, "You never came to my wing, to my room, why were you suddenly in front of my door, who informed you about Zeno?" Sebastian asked.
Ken wasted no time in pointing at Andre, "He did; he said I'd see Zeno by morning, but here you are stopping me. Yes, I'm jealous; Zeno's my best friend; he's supposed to sleep in my room, not yours," He poked Sebastian's chest.
Sebastian scoffed, "But he's my boyfriend; who do you think he'd prefer?" He asked Ken with narrowed eyes.
Ken's lips wobbled. He looked at Andre for help, but Andre had his face looking up at the morning, a sweet satisfaction warming his heart as he saw the desperate look in Ken's eyes.
'That's payback, baby,' Andre smiled secretly.
Ken realized that no one was ready to take him to Zeno, so he did the only thing he could think of looked up in the direction of Sebastian's room and suddenly shouted, "Zeno!"
"For Jesus sake!" Sebastian covered his mouth again and lifted him off the floor, "Unlock that car," he said to Andre as he carried Ken over to one of his cars.
Andre immediately ran over and had the back door open before Sebastian walked over with a struggling Ken.
"I can't deal with this right now," Sebastian muttered to himself.
Sebastian gently put Ken inside the car and shut the door, "You, drive," He pointed at Andre.
Andre nodded and got in the car, waiting for direction.
"Fine, I'm sorry, Dad, I promise I'll behave," Ken smiled sweetly through the wind-down window.
Sebastian smiled and patted his cheeks, "I'd be a loser to believe you, son. Don't worry, take a ride around the beautiful city, and on your way back, get Zeno some nice clothes, okay?" He handed Ken his black card and patted his head.
Ken reluctantly took it, "Fine, you promise to let me see him when I return?" He asked.
"Drive, Andre," Sebastian tapped the roof of the car.
"I need to hear your promise, Dad!" Ken shouted from the car.
"Depends on how you behave!" Sebastian shrugged, smirking as his son glared at him from the moving car.
He sighed in relief when the whole place turned quiet and peaceful once again. He looked up at his room and hoped Zeno wasn't disturbed by the whole Ken's episode.
"Good morning, Boss," Ida bowed to Sebastian.
Sebastian nodded at him, "Is Julia in?" He asked Ida.
Ida nodded, "Yes, boss,"
Sebastian immediately headed back inside the house; he never expected to encounter a stubborn child such early in the morning; he had just wanted to come and get food for Zeno, but Ken had other plans.
As he walked toward his kitchen, he wondered if this was how it was going to be, his son took his boyfriend as his best friend, and kids these days don't play with their besties as they called it; did he really have to fight for attention with his son?
He hoped it wouldn't get to that extent, it'd be too low and Petty of him to fight with his son over someone's affection; however, if that's how low Ken wanted to go, he was ready to go lower, and lower, as low as he wanted to go, he was ready, he wasn't about to become a third wheel in his relationship.
"Good morning, Sir; what would you like to eat?" Julia asked, blushing.
Sebastian paused at the door of the kitchen and observed Julia's suspicious behavior.
"You never ask what I want; we have a menu to follow, remember?" He asked, folding his hands as he leaned beside the door.
Julia cleared her throat, "Well, I mean, do you need me to make something for him?" She asked cautiously.
"For who?" Sebastian raised a brow at her, holding back his teasing smirk.
Julia fumbled for a reply, "Um, well, Andre told me you brought Zeno back last night, so I was wondering, maybe you'd want me to make something special for him," She rolled her thumb around the ladle in her hand.
Sebastian chuckled, "Andre sure does talk a lot. Since you're already aware, the make something he'd love, please?" He asked.
Julia immediately nodded, "Yes, sure, I can; I'm already preparing something; it'll be ready in five minutes," She announced excitedly.
It was the first time Sebastian was using the word 'please' as he spoke to her, she was excited.
Sebastian nodded, and left the kitchen, returning to his room.
He sighed in relief when he saw that Zeno was still sleeping; he quietly returned to the bed, and just like a magnetic pull, Zeno moved back into his arms, nestling his head on his chest.
Sebastian sighed and held his arm around Zeno; he'd stay that way until Zeno woke up; he didn't mind if it was later in the afternoon; his goal was to be there when Zeno opened his eyes.
He kissed the top of Zeno's head and relaxed his head on the pillow, closing his eyes.
After an hour, Sebastian felt Zeno move in his arms, he, too, had fallen asleep again. He slowly opened his eyes and found Zeno staring at him.
"Sebastian..." Zeno called in a soft voice, his hand moving up to Sebastian's face.
Sebastian felt his heart melting away at how softly Zeno called him; he smiled down at Zeno and moved his face lower to him, "Hi, baby girl," He whispered.
Zeno was still processing everything in his head, but he was aware of what had happened between them, and... he wasn't sure how to feel about it.
Sebastian placed his hand over Zeno's on his face and slowly kissed the side of Zeno's lips...testing the waters for a reaction.
When he got nothing from Zeno, he placed a short kiss on his lips, "I love you," He confessed to Zeno.
Zeno shut his eyes for a second, he could feel his bones tingling, he opened his eyes frowned, "My body hurts," He narrowed his eyes at Sebastian.
