Chapter 14
The next morning comes, Zero just opens his eyes, still dead tired from not really sleeping well at all. He couldn't get any of this out of his mind. It just filled him with hope at the same time with a desperate feeling inside himself to have to depend on someone else.
He gets up and makes some coffee seeing that thanks to her, he even had some, he was living a little more like a normal person with all the money she gave him. He could now even have coffee which he hadn't in ages. It was a small thing to most, but to him it was huge.
He sits on his bed with his coffee and looks at the phone.
"Well damn it. Fuck it, let's see what she has to say. IF she doesn't want me anymore. Screw her I will then know, I have to move on and find something that works. Better now then waiting and letting this money get lower and lower." Zero says to himself.
He picks up the phone and hits her number, his heart beating fast. He waits for her to pick up.
"Hello." She says.
"Hi, I know its been a few weeks, I was wondering if you were going to need me?" Zero asks.
"Of course, When can you stop by?"She replies. Acting as if nothing took place.
"I can stop by today, I can stay a few days if you wanted?"Zero says in a low voice scared of what she may reply.
"I would like Zero, How many days would you be willing to stay this time?" She asks.
"As long as he need me for. My Schedule is open." Zero responds.
"That's wonderful, I would like you to stay for a bit then, I have some paperwork and things to be done if you don't mind? I know you said, that you didn't want to get close, so I can hire you to come over and help me with my work." She answers.
Zero just pauses, he knew he said that but he missed her. He was looking forward to being in her bed just his big mouth shot off.
"I can do paperwork that is fine, I also don't mind doing the other. I am here for whatever you need me for." Zero bites his pride and says.
"Oh, Yes, that's right Ms. Richy that can buy anything she wants right?" She answers not able to hold that back.
"I Know I said some things I shouldn't have. I should say I am sorry for that. This is very hard for me on many levels." Zero admits.
"All you have to say is sorry and all is forgiven Zero. People say and do things, but true friends forgive." She comments.
"I am sorry," Zero mutters.
"Thank you, when you get here the middle room is made up for you. There is clothes and other things in there just for you while you stay here." She remarks.
"Ok, Is the car coming for me?" Zero asks.
"Yes, it will be there in ten minutes." She answers.
Zero hangs up, seeing she took him back but things were a bit different. It was now seeming like she was hiring him for a regular job. Didn't she want him sexually any more? He knew he wanted her. Getting paid to have sex with a beautiful woman wasn't half bad. They had chemistry, and it felt more like making love with a girlfriend then a woman that hired him.
He figures he will figure it out when he gets there. For now, he still had a job of any kind which was good. He thought about what she said about the clothes and other stuff. She knew he would be back, she was just waiting. He knew she wasn't old but she sure was mature for her age.
Everything about her was always in place, she knew what to say, how to act and what to do. She was very good at hiding her emotions as well. Not letting anything he said to her even if it bothered her be written on her face. In a way, she reminded him of Kaname, always in control and never show how he really felt.
He hated thinking about Kaname in any way. He was off somewhere living the life he dreamed of. He was sure by now he and Yuki were married and probably had children. The pureblood bastards making more. He just rolls his eyes to the thought.
Within ten minutes the car is there just like he knew it would be. Which makes him remember to look up the license plate number. He was so busy and upset he forgot all about it. As he sits in the back of the car, he uses his phone, which he can see now has more minutes and data on it, to look up the number.
Of course, it's registered under the K corporation and no other name. Nothing to say who these damn people were! He can't believe how secretive these people are. What the hell do they do? What kind of corporation are they? Then if he is working for her doing her paperwork, maybe then he could find out exactly what was going on. That would be a plus.
Before he knew it, he was dropped off on her step door again open and waiting for him. He goes in seeing no one around. He goes upstairs to the middle room that is supposed to be his room. He walks into a queen size bed, with his own fluffy pillows and blankets. Two end tables and a dresser for his clothes. He looks in them and they are filled with all kinds of things for him. PJs, Socks, underwear, pullovers. He looks in the closet and even more, items are there. Jeans, shirts, suits, and more. On the dresser is a box which Zero opens and sees, gold cuff links just for him, with the letter Z on them. His very own perfume sitting next to the box. Everything he would need at his fingertips. He just doesn't know what to think.
Why would anyone buy all this for him? How did they know his size? Mostly how did they know the things he liked? He stayed here a bit but not long enough for her to know all this. The shirts and items were in the colors he liked the perfume was one he wore at Cross. Even deodorant he wore at Cross. How does she know all this?
