Chapter 78
Zeno sighed, "Do you realize what you're asking for, Sebastian? I don't want to get ahead of myself..." He asked in Sebastian's arms.
"What if I do know what I'm asking for?" Sebastian replied.
Zeno shook his head, he didn't want to feel disappointment for the second time in a row, "No, you don't." He gently pushed Sebastian away from him.
"You don't, Sebastian. Don't make me get ahead of myself...let's go out before they start suspecting something..." Zeno turned away from Sebastian and pulled the door open, walking out and leaving Sebastian alone in the office.
Sebastian felt as if he'd just been rejected even though nothing was really asked, it hurt.
Why was it so hard to make Zeno understand his unspoken feelings?
Sebastian walked out of his office and saw Nicholas talking to Ken while Zeno was in the kitchen speaking with Julia.
Before he even paid attention to what Zeno was doing with Julia, he shut his eyes and stood in front of his office door for a few seconds.
If he wanted to appear normal in front of everyone, he had to get his jealousy in check; if not he'd just end up snapping at everyone.
He couldn't believe he was getting angry at Julia for simply speaking to Zeno
Something was wrong with him, and he knew it.
Zeno was making him feel things he'd never felt before insecure, scared...scared of losing something, someone...Zeno.
He was no longer comfortable with having to fight those feelings; he wanted to find a way to either let them out or suppress them. It was getting out of hand.
He took a deep breath and opened his eyes but he clenched his fist in the next second.
Why was Julia holding Zeno's hand?
He marched forward immediately, if anyone was holding Zeno's hand, it should be him.
He walked past Ken and Nicholas, walking right into the kitchen, and stood right next to Zeno.
Julia instinctively moved back from Zeno, causing Zeno to look beside him and see Sebastian's cold face staring at Julia.
"So, I'll just get you the flour powder and send you the recipe in your dm," Zeno continued, speaking to Julia as if he hadn't seen Sebastian.
Julia nodded, not feeling like continuing their conversation anymore.
"Yay! Dad, I'm going out with Nicholas!" Ken announced.
Zeno turned to Ken in confusion.
'What's Nicholas up to?' He muttered in his head.
Sebastian didn't even bother to turn to Ken. "No, you're not," He replied.
Nicholas chuckled and lowered himself on the chair beside Ken.
"Come on, Sebastian, let the boy live a little. It's just a park; he'd get to meet and play with other kids; if you want to make sure he's safe, you can send your bodyguard with him; he'd be safe with Zeno," Nicholas convinced.
Julia felt the atmosphere shift in the kitchen; she was feeling something between Sebastian and Zeno, but she couldn't say what it was.
Sebastian looked at Zeno for a second and shrugged, "If he's going, then I'm going..." Sebastian replied, he gave Zeno a knowing look before he walked a little away from him.
"I knew you couldn't stay back if Ken was going," Nicholas chuckled.
But, only Zeno knew that Sebastian wasn't talking about Ken.
Zeno knew Sebastian was talking about him; he didn't want to let Zeno go out with Nicholas again.
Nicholas had just used Ken as an excuse to get Zeno out with him again; he never knew that Sebastian would agree so easily.
"So, when are we going to this park?" Sebastian questioned.
"Now!" Ken replied excitedly.
"Yeah...now," Nicholas nodded.
Nicholas wished Sebastian had refused; at least he would have gotten another special day with Zeno.
Sebastian nodded. He turned to walk past the kitchen from the side where Zeno was standing, and somehow, Julia had her eyes glued in their direction. As Sebastian walked past Zeno, the sound of glass breaking was heard all over the living room.
Julia had just witnessed Sebastian playfully touch Zeno's ass as he walked past him and Zeno had seen her looking and knew that it was the reason she let the glass fall from her hand out of shock.
He, too was shocked. He never expected Sebastian to act that way with people around him. Didn't he think anyone would see him?
Everyone stared at Julia, especially Sebastian.
He was no fool, he knew why Julia dropped the glass.
He fixed a hard gaze on her, silently daring her to say a word.
"I'm, I'm so sorry, my hand was wet; I'm really sorry," Julia immediately bent over to pick up the glass shreds.
Zeno was about to move toward and lend his help when he felt Sebastian's hand on his arm, dragging him back, "You should get Ken ready to go out," He ordered with a secret smirk.
Zeno suddenly narrowed his eyes at Sebastian; he shockingly realized that Sebastian had touched his behind on purpose; he wanted Julia to see it.
He stepped away from Sebastian and walked out of the kitchen without a word.
"Come on, Ken, it's time to dress up," He held the boy's hand and helped him down from the chair, leading him up the stairs without speaking to anyone.
He was pissed.
Why does Sebastian feel that it is okay for him to make their relationship known to whoever he sees fit without his permission and then go around and expect him to keep it hidden on his part like he was some skeleton in a wardrobe?
He recalled him doing the same thing in front of Ida that night at Darren's club; no doubt he wanted Ida to know too; did Sebastian, for once, wonder if he wanted anyone to know at all?
As Zeno disappeared up the stairs, Sebastian moved closer to Julia, who was washing her hands under the running water in the sink; he paused beside her and asked in a very low and dangerous.
"Everything alright, Julia?" He placed a hand behind her on the sink.
"Y-yes, sir...boss. Everything's fine," She replied in a quiet voice.
Sebastian nodded, "Just checking on you, be safe," He patted her shoulder before walking out of the kitchen.
Julia nodded, her heart skipping fast in fear.
She knew that she had just been warned, and that hand pat on her shoulder was a gentle reminder to be quiet or face wrath.
"So, you're really coming with us?" Nicholas questioned Sebastian as he neared him.
"Yes," Sebastian patted Nicholas' arm and walked past him, heading straight for the stairs.
"Right..." Nicholas muttered, sitting on the chair.
