Chapter 42:
Zoe knocked on Nick's door repeatedly until he finally answered it.
"Easy there Zo, I'd still like my door to be intact." Nick chuckled slightly.
"Nick, I'm not really in the mood. Can you just tell me what's wrong and if you have any wine, then that would be a bonus." Zoe said as Nick stepped aside allowing her to enter the flat. He took her coat and then poured both of them a glass of the finest red wine he had. They sat on the sofa looking out over the view of Holby.
"So, are you going to tell me what's wrong?" Nick asked.
"Surely it should be you telling me what's wrong. You called me back here, remember?"
"I know but let's sort you out first. They do say ladies first." Nick said winking at her. His wink always made her feel inferior to him.
"Oh Mr. Jordan, you are a gentleman." She said as she let out a small giggle.
"I try my best." He said which caused her to smile.
"There's that smile that I have been dying to see." He said causing her to smile even bigger.
"So this problem of yours..." Nick asked.
"My love life." Zoe replied.
"When has that not been a problem of yours?" Nick joked causing Zoe to playfully hit him.
"Hey, I'm not that bad... anymore."
"Let me guess, that porter of yours?" Nick asked and Zoe nodded.
"Well technically he isn't my porter anymore." Zoe said as she downed the whole glass of wine.
"I'm so sorry Zo. If it makes it any better I didn't think he was right for you anyway." Nick said as he ran his fingers through Zoe's dark brown, silky hair.
"That makes it no better Nick because I thought he was right for me." Zoe said contradicting him.
"Well if he doesn't want to fight for you, that's his loss." Nick said grinning at Zoe.
"Why do you always know what to say?" Zoe asked as Nick leaned in closer.
"It's a gift." He replied as he made his move and kissed Zoe on the lips who responded.
Thank you all for the reviews. I know this chapter is not going to make a lot of you happy but do not fear I promise that there are more Zax scenes to follow. This is most likely going to be my last chapter for a few weeks as I am away but please continue to R&R and if I find wifi I will update and if not I will hopefully look forward to reading your lovely reviews when I get back. If you have any ideas for the story let me know and I will try write more chapters on the plane so when I get back I can update twice as often. Hope you all enjoy Holby and Casualty (when it is back). I know they are going to be FAB :)
