New Zax Fanfic. Hope You Enjoy.

Zoe had just handed her notice of the Clinical Lead role to Guy and walked to her smoking spot & lit up. She leant against the wall & tilted her head back savouring the first drag of her much needed cigarette. She was for the first time, in a long time, relieved that she had no more mountains of admin to do. She felt so much weight lift of her shoulders instantly she felt like she could fly. Whilst finishing off her cigarette her phone beeped.

'Hey, heard what happened, me, R & L are having a house party, you're more than welcome to come M xx'

She smiled. Max always made her feel like she had no cares in the world. She thought even if the world was ending she would look into his eyes and it would all disappear. She stared at her phone for a few moments before replying.

'Hi, thanks but I think I will give it a miss, seems a bit weird if you invited me, people might talk... I'll take a rain check ;) Z xx'

She put her phone back in her pocket and walked over to her car. She got in as her phone beeped again.

'Okay, but the offer is open if you change your mind. M xx'

She put her phone back into her pocket once again and set off home.

Zoe locked her door behind her and instantly kicked off her shoes. Curling her toes on the sheepskin rug that was beneath them. She walked into the kitchen and poured herself a glass of wine, curled on the sofa & turned on the TV. After half an hour of channel flicking she came to the conclusion there was nothing decent on TV. Max's message played in her head. As much as she wanted to go to his party she felt too old to be going to a house party & also it would look too suspicious.

Zoe contemplated before going upstairs & getting changed. She had some black skinny jeans on, a bright pink blouse & black heels. She re-applied her make-up & headed for the door. Before the set off she pulled her phone out.

'I'm on my way, get me a drink ready Z xx'

Meanwhile at the house Max wasn't in the party mood. He sat in the doorway smoking & occasionally taking sips of his drink.

"You okay Max?" asked Robyn. "You seem distracted"

"No, I'm fine, just realised how wiped I am from this week. Another few drinks & I'll be sorted". He gave Robyn a fake smile & she left him be. Max checked his phone & noticed the message from Zoe. His eyes immediately lit up.

Please R&R & let me know what you think,
