Zoe sighed at the empty wine rack, she had searched top to bottom and had still found no trace of alcohol in her house. It had been the doctor's order to cut down but Zoe never was one to do what she was told.

A knock on the door made Zoe sigh, it was a Sunday night and all Zoe wanted to do was lie up with a bottle of wine and a movie.

"Yes" Zoe's eyes near popped out of her head when she saw the young porter, hands in his pocket "what do you want?"

"Charming as ever" max smiled "you getting ED withdrawal symptoms?" max noted Zoe's state, she looked ill

"I would invite you in but my house is alcohol free, believe me if there was any alcohol in my house, I would have found it by now"

"So this is what a sober Zoe Hanna looks like" max looked into Zoe's eyes, tucked a piece of hair behind her ear as he made his way into Zoe's house

"Very funny" Zoe slammed the door, sitting down feeling as if she would clasp if she stood any longer

"seriously, are you ok?" max sat down beside zoe taking her hand as she lay her head down on the arm of the chair "is there anything I can do?"

"Why are you here?"

"Isn't the obvious?"

"Well you're a man, so yeah I suppose it is!" Zoe sat up looking at max as he smiled

"Is it now" max laughed leaning closer to Zoe

"You will lean forward" Zoe closed the gap between her and max "you will whisper something cocky" Zoe laughed as she spoke in a whisper "then you'll..."

Max pressed his lips against Zoe as they fell back hitting the sofa

"Then you'll kiss me" Zoe finally finished his sentence as she broke the kiss for a breathe
