I sighed pacing around the cistern, Brynjolf told me he was busy again. When we started out he was nice and friendy, now he never has time. I growled to myself he's probably shagging a nice tall brunette like Tonilla or he might even be doing Karliah, I shook my head repeatedly trying to rid myself of these thoughts. I shouln't be jealous. I am not jealous, no not at all!.
"Hey Zoe" Sapphire grinned, she had opened up to me and now is a very nice person. I smiled slightly.
"Hello Sapph" I waved once at her, She shook her head knowingly.
"What are you so happy about?" I mumbled as we walked towards her bed, she had brought in some clean clothes. She folded them and put them in her chest, I plonked myself down onto her bed.
"Well I agreed to-" I giggled and finished her sentence.
"Going out with Delvin and he's a nice guy" I looked at her. She nodded and gave me a small hug.
"How did you know?" She laughed slightly.
"Well let's just say 'Wohoo I gotta date' shouted through the Flagin" I grinned.
"Damn him" I shoo'ed her off and got off her bed. I sighed again, I think I'm just gonna go home. I climbed the ladder, which is the exit to the graveyard.
~~~~~~~~ A week later: Brynjolf's POV~~~~~~
I frowned, I haven't seen Zoe in a while...She hadn't tried to talk to me in a week. I am getting worried maybe, the lass had went on a quest and hasn't come back or worse she might be dead.
"Stop fucking doing that!" I snapped at Karliah she'd be coming on to me since Zoe left.
"What's got you all twisted up?" Sapphire asked as she walked to my desk.
"Have you seen Zoe?" I tried to calm myself down.
"Yes, but I'm not telling you where" She glared at me, what have I done?
"Why?" I sighed, It's a relief that Zoe's not dead.
"Because you ignore her, she ignores you" Sapphire walked out clearly annoyed with me, I wondered where to check but, then Karliah was clinging on to me.
"You really have to stop" I finally snapped storming out of the guild and up into the market place.
~~~~~~~~ Zoe's POV ~~~~~~~~~
I smiled and walked up to Balimund.
"Here's ten fire salts" Balimund chuckled deeply and took them off me.
"Flame Atronach's I'm guessing miss Dragonborn" I nodded and grinned.
"How did you know Bali" I smiled at the nickname and leant over the workbench putting my arms on the table.
"Zoe you're never the one to do things easy" He chuckled again.
"Hey" I pouted slightly.
"Right, I better get back to work" Balimund cracked his fingers and went to the anvil.
I waved goodbye and walked to the temple of Mara, out the corner of my eye I saw Brynjolf I shooked my head and continued walking.
~~~~~~~~ Brynjolf's POV ~~~~~~~~
I saw Zoe flirting with Balimund I growled, That was meant to be me she's flirting with. I smiled slightly was I saw her huff and wave she began walking to the temple with a basket of flowers.
"Lass!" I yelled she looked at me and turned away, so I just ran after her.
"Zoe?" I asked.
"Yes, what is it?" She didn't smile, she always smiles.
"Why have you been ignoring me?" I asked her.
"Well let's see you're always to busy, probably fucking Karliah" She snapped I saw tears gather in the corner of her eyes.
"Lass, that would never happen I love you too much, I was thinking of the perfect way to ask you out" I smiled and wiped the corners of her eyes, knowing she was smiling to I kissed her.
"I love you too, I guess thief's can be jealous" We laughed together.
