Max woke first the next morning, pushing Zoe's hair out of her waking her up.
"Morning beautiful" he said smiling.
"Why did you wake me up, I'm shattered" Zoe replied closing her eyes again to try to get to sleep.
"Want me to ring in sick for you so you can just sleep all day?" he asked her and she smiled slightly before shaking her head.
"I can't Max, I'm the boss remember" Zoe said rolling her eyes.
"So you won't moan at me for being late then" Max asked leaving Zoe confused.
"No but why would you be late, I'm dropping you in?" Zoe asked and he laughed.
"Because I want to stay in bed with you for as long as possible" he stated causing Zoe to laugh. He began trailing kisses down Zoe's neck knowing how much she likes it.
"I swear you're doing this on purpose" she mumbled pulling his lips up to connect to hers. They pulled away upon hearing a knock on his door.
"Hey do you two want a coffee" Robyn asked through the door. Zoe nodded at Max so he could answer. Zoe felt awkward being in a house with Robyn and Lofty.
"I haven't got any make-up on" she whispered to him.
"Yeah thanks we both will" he said back though the door.
"You're beautiful without it" Max said kissing her. She just rolled her eyes at him.
"Okay, we're coming in" Robyn said and Zoe put her face into Max's bare chest to hide the fact that she doesn't have any makeup on.
"Are you alright Zoe" Lofty asked confused as he put the two mugs on the side.
"She's fine she just doesn't like people seeing her without make-up on even though she looks beautiful" Max said rolling his eyes.
"See you in a bit then" Robyn said as her and Lofty smirked before they both left again.
"I hate you sometimes" Zoe said smirking at him.
"And I lovvvvv hate you too" he said shiftily.
"What were you about to say then" Zoe said wondering if he knew what he just said.
"I um I don't know" he mumbled. She leant up and kissed him.
"I do as well" Zoe said. They smiled at each other knowing what they both meant. That's the thing with Max and Zoe, even if they didn't say something they knew what they meant.
"Come on we need to get ready Max" Zoe said getting up and shoving one of his shirts on.
"Are we going back yours first so you can get changed?" he asked and Zoe nodded remembering that she didn't have any of her stuff.
"We might as well go yours now then and just shower and that there" Max said and Zoe agreed. They got up and Zoe just shoved her heels on still in Max's shirt as he just shoved some tracksuit bottoms on with a polo shirt knowing he could just get changed at Zoe's. They walked down stairs, Zoe with her head in Max's chest in case they saw Robyn and Lofty.
"We're going to Zo's to get ready, she hasn't got anything here" Max said to Robyn and Lofty who were stood in the kitchen.
"Alright just make sure you've put make-up on for the next time we see you Zoe" Robyn joked causing Zoe to grip Max's side tightly. Max turned her around slightly to walk out and towards her car. They got in quickly considering Zoe was only wearing his shirt and drove to Zoe's. When they got there Zoe stayed in the car, giving Max her keys to open the door so she could just run through considering she didn't want her neighbours to see her like this. She ran straight in leaving Max to go back and lock the car up before they both went up to the shower. They done their normal morning routine before leaving the house again.
"Zoe where were you last night, your dad was knocking nearly all night" Zoe's neighbour, Claire, said as they got outside.
"Stayed Max's, did he say what he wanted?" she asked Claire.
"No but he was shouting a lot, said he would come back tonight" Claire told her and Zoe just sighed.
"Okay thanks Claire" Zoe said before her and Max got into her car.
"You alright?" he asked her sensing something was wrong.
"Just my dad. He only comes to see me for money, he's a drug addict and if I don't give him it he hits me" Zoe said before she realised just what she actually said.
"I'm coming over tonight whether you like it or not, I'm not leaving you with him" Max said and Zoe relaxed instantly. She started the car and drove them to work. They walked in with their arms around each other's waists causing everyone to smirk at them. Everyone went into the staff room with Max and Zoe following them.
"Zoe let us see you without make-up so we can judge whether you really are beautiful without it" Cal said. Lofty rolled his eyes as Robyn burst out laughing; Max and Zoe knew instantly who had told him about this morning. Zoe looked up at Max before walking quickly to her office.
"Well done you fucking idiot. You wonder why we never told any of you about us" Max said sharply before following Zoe to her office. He walked straight in not noticing Connie sat there.
"Zo are you alright, Robyn shouldn't have told them anything" he said to her and she just smiled at him.
"I'm fine. You still coming mine tonight though?" Zoe asked him.
"Of course, can't let you deal with your dad on your own" Max said.
"Please tell me the rumours wasn't true about you two" Connie said causing Max to turn his head quickly towards her. He had finally acknowledged her being there.
"Don't start Connie our relationship has nothing to do with you" Zoe said before getting up and pulling Max out of the office with her. They began to look for a patient that would need transferring so that they could spend time with each other and found one almost instantly. They took the patient to the lift to take them up to the ward.
"Do you think Robyn's ever going to get over it?" Zoe asked as the doors closed.
"She better do otherwise I'm moving out" Max said shocking Zoe.
"Max she's family. You can't just walk out on her for me" Zoe told him and he just sighed.
"I know but you're just the most important person in my life Zo and I really hate you" Max said causing Zoe to burst out laughing at what he meant by it.
"I hate you two baby" She said back before kissing him completely forgetting about the patient that they had with them.
