City of Love [Zaintsee]

Chapter 10

After lunch at nearby KFC, they did a little more window shopping of random stuff, and yet again took the Paris mètro to commute. It was not too tiring for both of them while going to the flea market, although it was the opposite while going back as they had a lot of baggage with them. Zee at first did not let Saint carry any of his stuff but as the path to the station kept going on Saint pitched in and helped Zee with the bags.

It was 6:00 pm, They finally reached their stop and walked up. Where it took hardly two minutes to walk from the hotel to the station in the morning it felt like forever to reach back to the hotel with all the bags. They reached hotel de Crillon and took the lift only to be disappointed that the elevator wasn't working. They took the stairs and finally reached the second floor where Zee's room was located. They dropped the bags and slumped on the couch, as they finally felt comfort from the long tiring day.

"This is the exact reason why I hate shopping" Saint groaned in annoyance.

"I always go and come by car so that's why it was never trouble for me, do you want something?

"Ice cream will be good"

"I'll order room service" and saying that Zee made a call and placed his order.

"Huh ... But although it was annoying at the end of the day" Saint sighed "I had fun today" Saint's head fell back and was resting on the headrest of the couch and he was looking at Zee. In Saint's eyes, Zee looked so hot with hair sticking to his forehead and sweat dripping down his chest which was visible due to the unbuttoned shirt. Saint gulped hard, oblivious that Zee was observing him, His eyes traced longingly at Zee's chest.

Zee turned in and sat facing Saint and that when Saint snapped back to reality and he guiltily looked down "Saint...?" Zee called

"Yeah?"

"I had fun too" Zee's voice was husky. It caught Saint's attention, he looked up to see Zee at him just the way he was looking at him a second ago. They both looked into each other's eyes. Zee could notice Saint's dark brown eyes were even darker, they both came closer to each other. Zee caressed Saint's soft cheeks and Saint closed his eyes as their touch was giving him unbearable reactions within his body. They both were incredibly close, Zee longingly stared for one last second at Saint's closed eyes and parted lips and kissed him.

They both did not plan for this to happen but it just felt right, Zee moved his lips only to feel his member twitching in his pants. Saint's breath hitched while both their lips were still attached making Zee feel even more turned on, when Zee decided to deepen the kiss with his tongue the doorbell rang and interrupted the kiss. Saint pushed Zee by reflex, but Zee did not mind as he sort of jumped with the noise as well.

"I ... I am sorry" Zee apologized.

"You need to get the door," Saint said while adjusting his clothes, hair, and covering his cheeks as he knew that it would be red as a tomato.

Zee just went to the door to reveal the room service person was there with a tray containing two ice creams. He let her in and she placed the tray on the coffee table, Zee tipped her and she immediately left.

"Saint... Are ... Are you okay?" Zee asked, he was standing because he didn't want to sit next to Saint, the first reason being he wanted to give him some space and the second reason being he was afraid that he would lose control just like before if he stays too close to the other.

"Zee, I think I should go." Saint just stood up and was heading towards the door.

"Saint wait" Zee called out and grabbed a bag which he brought back from the shopping and handed it to Saint.

"What is this?" He asked confused

"This is for you"

"Umm no, you bought everything for yourself, and you know that this stuff is not my style"

"But Saint I always buy something for my dates... I really want you to take this, I selected these for you"

"Your... Your dates? So I was your date today?"

"Saint I don't want you to misunderstand just accept this as my gratitude"

"I... Huh... I... I really didn't know today was a date and Zee I appreciate this, but I really can't accept it. Just so you know I am not like your usual dates, I am different" Saint was partly happy that Zee considered Saint as his date but mostly offended that he was treating him just like any other date whom he goes around with just for fun and leaves them at the end of the week.

"Saint... I know you are different, I mean you definitely are I... I ... I just want to~"

"Zee... Stop it's okay... This is getting awkward, me being here, that...that kiss, it's getting weird so I'm just gonna go" Saint walked out.

Just before he could close the Zee called out for the last time "Saint..."

Saint paused and just waited for Zee to say something.

"Are... Are we good?"

"Umm... Yes Zee, I just... I will see you tomorrow"

"Okay," Zee said half-heartedly.

Zee sat on the couch and pulled his hair, he kind of felt bad offending Saint, but he just didn't know Saint would react in that way. He fell back on the couch and stared at the ceiling, he heaved a heavy breath and smiled when he thought about the kiss they just shared a minute ago. The post kiss scenes suggested that Saint might not have feelings towards Zee the way he did. But Saint obliging to Zee's movements during the kiss suggested otherwise, Zee definitely knew Saint felt something for him, it may not have been as intense as he felt but he was certain that Saint also had some kind of feelings for him and that made Zee smile wider, and chuckle at the thought that he had finally found his soulmate that he has been looking for all along.

The sparks he felt with his touch, the dreams he had, the endless train of thoughts about him, the longing he felt during his absence all just made sense and it felt like nothing he had felt like ever before. And no one could make him feel that way except Saint.
