Zoe, Jealous?

A/N

Whilst Zax will always be my favourite couple in Holby City Hospital, I'm not averse to Connie, Rita, and Zoe either ;)

Reviews welcome,

"Zoe, what are you doing up there?!" Connie asked the consultant. The three of them were at hers after yet another long day at work.

"I'm re applying my lipstick which you managed to smudge, remember?" Came the answer.

"Rita's been wanting to kiss you all day, in case you hadn't noticed so I doubt that it'll last." Connie chuckled.

"Rita Freeman! Why didn't you say?" The consultant shot back into the room and launched herself onto the sofa beside the blonde.

"You are such a child" the blonde laughed, before placing a gentle kiss on Zoe's lips.

Zoe frowned. "Am not!"

"Are too!" Rita giggled.

Zoe sighed at her and shook her head. "Anyway, is there anything good on the TV?"

"Well there's real A&E but we see that every day. There's that vet programme you like, Zo. I think that the main focus is cats" Said Connie.

"Right then" said Zoe, grabbing the remote and changing the TV channel.

The consultant settled down to watch the programme, whilst Connie and Rita snuggled up together.

Zoe tried not to notice, but it was difficult. She'd been wanting to cuddle with Connie all day, and as much as she loved Rita, underneath, she preferred Connie.

"Everything okay?" The Clinical Lead asked Zoe teasingly later on.

"Yeah, why wouldn't it be?" Zoe said, Connie had made her jump.

"Everything clearly isn't okay with you because you're staring at the TV like you want to murder it, which I find bizarre since you adore cats." Connie answered.

"Maybe she's just tired." Rita muttered, her head on Connie's chest.

Zoe shifted around in annoyance, she'd give anything to be in Rita's position but she didn't want to upset the blonde.

"What's up?" Rita asked.

"Nothing! I'm going out for a cigarette." Zoe sighed.

The consultant returned a few minutes later to see that Rita had left the room.

Unsure of what to do, Zoe sat where she had been previously sitting.

"I don't bite, you know" Connie commented.

"Looking at the marks you left on me the other day, I beg to differ Mrs Beauchamp."

"Very true. I won't bite now though, I promise. Please tell me what's up." Her boss encouraged.

Zoe gave in, and sat next to Connie. "I just wanted a cuddle." She admitted in a childish tone.

"By the way you've been looking at me all day, I gather that it's more than that?" Connie guessed.

"Might be." The other woman said.

Connie surprised Zoe by kissing her. Zoe moaned quietly.

"You tease." Zoe growled in annoyance when Connie pulled away leaving her wanting more.

"I am. Besides, we haven't had dinner yet." Connie shrugged.

"I'm going to eat you for dinner if you're not careful." Zoe replied, letting out a dirty laugh.

"I'm going to undress you right here in a minute if you keep teasing me like that." Connie shot back.

"I wouldn't mind." Chuckled the other woman. "Where's Rita, by the way?"

"She's gone out to get us some tea. Fish and chips."

"Yum!" Said Zoe happily, smuggling against her boss.

"Not as yummy as you."

"Very funny." Replied the consultant, as the doorbell rang.

"I'll get it" Said Connie, placing a kiss on Zoe's lips.

Rita and Connie came back into the room a few minutes later.

"Hey gorgeous" said Rita, sitting down next to Zoe and kissing her.

"Hands off, Freeman. Zoe's mine for tonight." Connie called from the kitchen where she was unpacking the food.

"Ooh, two of the sexiest women in Holby fighting over me, aren't I lucky?" The consultant mused.

"Have you seen yourself?" Rita flirted.

"Oh, come off it." Zoe blushed.

Connie re entered the room with two platefuls of fish and chips.

"Thanks" said Zoe when Connie handed her her meal. Rita, however, seemed to have forgotten her manners, because she simply took the plate from Connie and began to eat.

"Manners!" Said Zoe, with a mouthful of food.

"You can talk!" Rita replied. "Thank you, Connie."

Connie sat down next to Zoe. Zoe shifted slightly to make room.

The three ate in silence for a while, Connie trying her best not to stare at Zoe's lips.

Rita noticed this, and chuckled. Zoe was completely oblivious to this.

The consultant finished her meal and licked her lips, satisfied. Connie, subconsciously did the same.

"Er, have I got lipstick on my teeth or something?' Zoe asked, noticing that the two women were staring at her.

" No" Connie breathed, a hungry look in her eyes.

"Wha-" Zoe was cut off by Connie's lips against hers.

Connie swept Zoe up into her arms. "Let's go upstairs."

"I'm coming too!" Said Rita.

"Oh, you will be!" Zoe laughed.
