Chapter 59
"Hey, man," He was startled when he heard Ida's voice beside him.
He turned and looked at the side of the wall and was surprised to see Ida standing there with an unreadable expression on his face.
"Damn it...did you..." Zeno sighed, who was he kidding? Of course, Ida must have seen and heard everything.
Ids sighed and slowly walked toward Zeno, he stopped in front of him and stared at his face for a while.
"Since when?" He asked lowly.
Zeno ran his fingers through his hair, this was never the kind of situation he wanted to get in with his current health status.
"Look, you have to keep this a secret, It's not something he'd want everyone to find out," Zeno whispered.
Ida nodded, "I figured. I'm not against it or something; after all, I'm gay too, I just want to know when you guys started," Ida shrugged.
Zeno was about to reply but he paused, "You're gay?" He asked.
Ida nodded, but he narrowed his eyes as he didn't see the surprise he had expected on Zeno's face.
"Why are you smiling?" Ida asked.
Zeno shook his head, "I knew it, there was something between you and Cody, right?" He asked curiously.
Ida widened his eyes in surprise, "You figured?" He couldn't believe it.
"Yep, long ago, actually," Zeno nodded.
Ida chuckled, "Well, you're right, but right now, we're just-"
"He's here, we'll talk about this later. Trust me, I'm eager," Zeno smirked at Ida.
Sebastian's car slowly rolled beside them and stopped.
Ida immediately entered the front seat, leaving Zeno to sit with Sebastian behind the car.
Zeno took a deep breath and prayed that the night was smooth in every way, especially with him and Sebastian, he's had enough trouble already.
Zeno sat quietly seated beside Sebastian as Sebastian's car drove off.
It's been ten minutes, and he hadn't looked or said anything to Sebastian. He was busy on his phone since he didn't know what he would be doing for the two-hour journey.
Andre was the driver, and it seemed as if everyone was tense because of Sebastian's presence.
He could feel Sebastian's gaze on him, but he just concentrated on his phone, he was never going to let himself play into Sebastian's games anymore.
"Ida," Sebastian called in a cold voice.
"Yes, boss," Ida immediately answered, turning his head back to look at Sebastian.
"Take this," Sebastian handed him a small box.
Ida stretched his hand to the back seat and took the small box from Sebastian, he opened it and took out a golden eagle face mask.
"You know what to do with it," Sebastian said.
"Yes, boss," Ida responded.
"Zeno," Sebastian called coldly.
Zeno quietly sighed before turning to look at him.
"Yes, boss," He answered tiredly.
He didn't mean to sound tired, but he just kept feeling his body getting weaker and weaker. It almost felt as if any little force could send him pummeling to the floor at that moment.
"Take this..." Sebastian paused and observed Zeno; he noticed that Zeno wasn't even bothering to look him in the eyes. He looked like he didn't want to be near him and he guessed it was because of what happened between them earlier.
His face remained indifferent as he shifted a black box toward Zeno.
Zeno looked down at the chair and saw the black box; he slowly took it and opened it.
It was a white tiger face mask; he closed the box and rested his head behind the chair.
Sebastian frowned; he was expecting a smile or something, what was this attitude Zeno was giving him?
Ida was in front of the car, feeling the tension between the two people in the back seat, why hadn't he noticed it earlier? The sexual tension was fucking high, and he might have just realized that Zeno might be wrong in his speculations about Sebastian's feelings toward him.
Ida wasn't blind, the few times he'd looked behind the backseats through the front mirror, he'd caught his boss staring at Zeno, and the look in his boss' eyes wasn't one from someone who didn't feel anything for someone, it was the one you gave a special someone when they were looking away.
It was like the look that said, 'Damn, this boy is fucking mine.' He couldn't wait to tell Zeno all his observations.
But that was all he could do; they were just like him and Cody. You can tell someone you love them but it's not a guarantee for them to love you back.
He just wished that after the whole thing, Zeno would leave with a stable frame of mind because he knew who his boss was; he could be very ruthless regardless of who you are, he only wished his boss learned how to express his feelings before it's too late.
Inside the quiet car, Sebastian's phone suddenly rang.
"I've made it clear, Florence, I don't like late calls," Sebastian answered the phone with a very distant and cold tone.
Zeno's ears perked up. Florence? He'd almost forgotten about her. The mention of her name reminded him of Meyer and that recorder they'd secretly planted in his clothes, which hadn't still been rectified with Sebastian.
Sebastian still believed that he was working with some people to spy on him.
"What you have to say can wait, Florence; you have all the time tomorrow to fill me in," Sebastian said and immediately ended the call.
Zeno didn't have many cousins, just a few back in Mexico, but, even though he rarely interacted with them, he knew that the way Sebastian spoke to his cousin was no way to speak to a family member, it was no way to speak to even a friend... he was so cold and emotionless. No wonder the young lady wanted to plot evil against him.
He wasn't surprised, what was he expecting from someone who had no healthy relationship with his Father?
He was a mafia king, so he was living up to his name and title.
After another long and silent ride, Andre quietly spoke from the front, "We have arrived, boss."
Sebastian nodded and pushed his door open.
Ida quickly left the car, fixing his mask on his face as he did.
Zeno was the last to come out of the car, holding his mask in his hand.
He walked toward Ida and placed a hand on his shoulder.
"I think I'm getting sick," Zeno finally told someone.
He didn't feel like keeping shut about it anymore, just in case something happened to him, at least, someone would be aware of what happened to him.
Ida frowned; they were standing beside a silver one-story building; it looked nothing like a house, a glance at it would let you know it was a building for dark activities.
Ida looked over at Sebastian, who was giving orders to Andre on how he would park the car, and then he looked back at Zeno beside him.
He raised his hand to his face, "Damn it, Zeno, why did you insist on coming along then?" Ida asked in a hushed tone.
Zeno chuckled, "If you were in my shoes, would you have done it differently?"
He slowly detached his hand from Ida's shoulder and gave his mask to him, "Just tie this behind my back, hope this ends soon," He said as he gave Ida the mask.
Ida sighed and took it from him; he went behind and helped him put the mask on his face, tying it behind his head.
Sebastian had just finished speaking to Andre when he saw Ida standing close to Zeno, it even looked as if he was whispering something to him.
Zeno was serious about fucking whoever he wanted right? He'd regret it.
He fixed his black wolf mask on his face and walked toward them. "I didn't bring you two here to fuck each other, Ida. Move," he said as he passed them.
Ida instantly moved away from Zeno, "Dammit, it's not what you think, boss," he muttered.
Zeno scoffed and held Ida's hand, "Come on, just ignore him," he advised and led him on.
They reached the black gate and halted as they saw Sebastian speaking to the security men at the gate.
"Can we see your invitation, sir?" One of them asked.
Sebastian easily took out the card from his pocket and showed it to them.
"He's got a pass, how about the people behind you?" Another security guy asked, pointing at Ida and Zeno.
