CHAPTER 33
Zoe finished her normal night routine, turning every light in the house off but the hall light, always making excuses to anyone who asked, to cover up her fear of the dark. Zoe walked into her bedroom and noticed max regaling about on the bed wearing nothing but his boxers.
"What happened to, we need to sleep in the same bed to keep warm?" Zoe couldn't help but ask
"The room suddenly hottened up when you walked in" max smiled
"Do me a favor and google new chat up lines" Zoe laughed as she got into bed
"Excuse me" max tried to sound offended "I do not google my chat up lines; they take hours to think of"
"Yea, for the writers which upload them onto the website" Zoe laughed
Max wouldn't argue as he produced a bottle of wine, unknown to Zoe he had found her secret wine store in her bedroom.
Zoe's eyes flickered open at Seven thirty the next morning, raising her head from the pillow Zoe suddenly remembered how much her and max had drank the night before as she saw their clothes scattered on the floor. She suddenly felt a bit better when she saw that max was awake beside her.
"We didn't….?" Zoe shook her head knowing that she wasn't exactly the best drunk, but Zoe stopped as max nodded his head smiling.
"We have to be in work in an hour" Zoe complained as max wouldn't let her get out of bed
"No we don't, I pulled a sickie cause of my shoulder and late last night, unknown to you Connie and Charlie gave you the day off and how ever long after that you want off"
Zoe threw her head back in her pillow, enjoying what she classed as a lie in.
Zoe woke again at twelve, but this time it was to the smell of cooking. Zoe finally pulled herself out of her warm bed, gabbing a couple of pieces of clothes on the floor and putting them on.
Zoe sneaked down stairs and silently stood in her kitchen door way as she watched max's crap attempt of flipping a pancake.
Max smiled when he heard Zoe's laughter and immediately knew that she was watching him, but he didn't have time to comment as Zoe's doorbell rang.
A smile escaped Zoe's lips as she opened the door to reveal Linda.
"Linda" Zoe pulled Linda into a long hug "what are you doing here?"
"well, I heard the ED found out about nick and Nicola so I thought I would come and see how you are" Linda smiled smelling the cooking and raised an eyebrow "…and see if there's anyone new in your life, like someone who can cook?"
"I don't know what your mean?" Zoe argued, but she could never lie to Linda
"zoe, you're the only person I know who can burn a boiled eye so either you have hired a cook or you have found your own in the form of a man" Linda argued back smiling as she realized how well she had got her point across
"Or you could be realistic and could come to the conclusion that I have a friend staying" Zoe avoided eye contact with Linda
"Yea, be realistic" Linda rolled her eyes as she walked into Zoe house
But will Linda see max and reveal Zoe and max's relationship to the ED or will Zoe even make it known that her and max are in a relationship?
Just for the purpose the story, Linda has known Zoe when she was with matt and nick.
I will update tomorrow if I get 120 reviews:)
