Zoe fumbled around for her phone on the bedside cabinet; squinting against the glaring light as her phones screen illuminated into life. 5:30 am. "Shit!" she exclaimed, punching Max on the shoulder "I have to go, she'll be getting up for work soon" she jerked her thumb to the wall indicating Robyn's room. She leaned across Max, reaching for her underwear, which was somehow lying on his dresser. She squealed in surprise as max pushed her back and towered over her.
"You don't have to go just yet" he whispered softly, stroking his hand along her thigh enjoying the quiet whimpers that came from her mouth.
"I'm due on shift at seven, I need to get a move on" she replied; her excuses silenced by a kiss from Max. 'Five minutes won't hurt' she decided, hooking an arm around his neck to pull him closer to her, kissing him gently. Zoe sighed in contentment as Max rolled off of her and pulled her close to his side. "I really have to go" she urged, wriggling away from his grasp and reaching for her dress. "I'll see you in work" she whispered as she slipped on her shoes, aware of his housemates. She bent down to kiss him, one knee planted on the bed as she leant over to him, struggling as he tried to pull her back to bed "No, max. I have to go" she mumbled. She finally wrenched herself from his grasp, raiding the room for the contents of her bag; phone, keys, purse, lipstick. She grabbed one of Max's jumpers that was lying on the floor and slipped it on, a futile attempt for warmth in the chilly morning air.
"Oi, that's mine" he cried, as she moved towards his door.
"Here, fair trade" she laughed, slipping her knickers from under her dress and throwing them at him "Now, I have to go. I'll see you later"
Just a quick update to keep y'all going. I'm so buzzing for Saturday; the spoilers seem to suggest that Zoe tells Connie her secrets (including the one about Max I suppose) If Connie gets Zoe's job I will honestly cry. Team Zoe, all the way. Anyway, please read and review.
