Re: Later that night....
He pointed at the top of his head. "I hit my head. Make it go away." He mumbled into her shirt. He hadn't wanted her to go and she'd left him for a dinner over Wicked. It had hurt that she ignored him for someone else...
Now he knew what it felt like.
------------------
Zoe ugh'd and covered her eyes with her hand, "I wish I could make you go away.." she dropped her hand and tried to pry his arms off her, pushing at his head, "I told Mike that there was nothing going on between us... he had a hard time believing me and if you keep behaving like this I can see why. Also, lying about being Gabe? So not helping." apparently Mike had tattled at dinner.
------------------
Greed gasped his head raising quickly. "He told on me?" What an ass. "He made the assumption, what was I supposed to say?" His voice broke into a whine. She was already playing him second fiddle. He'd felt that way before with Lust, but it hurt coming from Zoe.
------------------
Zoe sighed, "How about 'No, I'm not Gabe, I'm her annoying friend and part time stalker Chance'?" she made a face and whined herself, "Pleaseeeee let go. Why are you acting like this?" she'd been on four other dates and he'd been an ass about them but not like this..
------------------
"That wasn't going to fly. He said it, I ran with it." There was some annoyance in his voice, that weird feeling of competition needling at him. He wasn't letting go for the same reasons.
------------------
Zoe shook her head, she couldn't argue with crazy. "Fine.. what's it going to take to get you off me right now?" she kinda wanted to give in. It was nice to be tangled with him and she wanted to sleep but she had to put her foot down.
------------------
"Videogames?" He perked a little but he really didn't want to go anywhere. He was jealous obviously, but he really wasn't ready to give up everything because some guy had hijacked his way into her life again. "Is this the ex that made you cover up your sprinkles?" He ran a finger over her cheeks full of freckles.
------------------
Zoe stifled a yawn, "Videogames. At midnight." she closed her eyes and was probably cursing silently in her head when he asked his question. She opened her eyes and looked at him softly but didn't answer him. She took her hand and put it over his to take it off her face but she kissed his finger and then smiled, "Let's play."
------------------
"Foreplay?" He teased with a grin letting up on his grip. She looked so sleepy. Her usually big bright eyes not as wide. He leaned up to kiss her cheek. It was nothing like Mike's fancy display. Greed kissed her cheek softly like she often did. He ran his finger down the length of her nose, kissing the round tip as his finger slid off. "You sleep," he whispered softly.
------------------
Zoe grinned a little bashfully as he said foreplay but closed her eyes when he kissed her cheek. She looked at him through her lashes as he kissed her nose and was gentle with her. She wished this was a dream because she really didn't want to sleep right now. It was the last thing on her mind but she nodded and slid down, her head on the pillow, "Tomorrow. Just you and me and pizza, I promise." but her voice was already sleepy sounding. She wanted him to stay but that would be the worst idea ever and he knew he had to go.
------------------
He was so many steps ahead of this new guy, he knew that. She didn't smile around the other guys. She would never want someone as much as she would want him. He could still feel that grip on him, her desire for him was far from gone. "8 o'clock," he watched her snuggle up to the pillow, shedding a piece of hair around her ear.
A normal boy could walk away, Greed couldn't resist himself. He softly placed his lips on hers for a quick kiss goodnight.
