More than a prostitute (Zosan)

Chapter 20

Sanji exhaled for the thousandth time that day. He was asked questions about tomorrow's grand opening, unimportant questions like the colour of the napkins, how to arrange the appetizers, how to serve the drinks, and so on. Of course, he wanted everything to be perfect for tomorrow. But he'd already answered all these questions weeks before, so why did he have to do it all over again? So, from 8am, he was stuck in his soon-to-be-new restaurant answering the questions he'd already answered.

He was hoping he could get out of here soon. He had missed Chopper's swimming lesson and Luffy's degustation. He missed the breakfast and the lunch, and with the sun and the warmth, he was sure the boys were at the beach. He hoped maybe if he finished soon, he could join them there. He loved spending moments with the three boys they were fun, energic, and careless. It brought him something he had forgotten: his childhood soul.

Since she'd broken his heart, he hadn't been able to find himself. He wasn't the same as before. Jeff had noticed, Nami had told him. She was all he had. She was his world, his everything, but she left him, and now, he felt empty. He didn't know the purpose of the life without her. He was so angry at first, so a friend of his advised him to go to the Pleasure Bar, to make his anger go. It did for a few minutes, but he didn't feel better after. But he liked that for a few minutes, he didn't think about her, only about his pleasure. During a few minutes, he forgot about her face, about her raven hair and dark eyes, her touch. So, he went again.

At first, he didn't plan to buy the Pleasure Bar, but he wanted to develop his activities and change a little from the cooking. It was his world, but he didn't feel challenged enough now that he was well-settled and was famously known. So, when the proprietor offered to sell him the place, he was surprised at first but took the opportunity to think about something else than her.

And finally, there was Zoro. Zoro was only a way to make him feel good. He was good at it, and Sanji wasn't used to hooking up with a man. He mostly was a man's woman. He had one night when he was in his twenties adventure with a boy, but it was mostly to try it, and he didn't really like it. But, after she left him, he tried to hook up with a woman. It didn't work. Every part of the body of the girl reminded him of the body of his long beloved. The way she moaned when he bit her tits, the way she arches her back, every movement reminded her. But Zoro was so different. They were the complete opposite, and that's what he liked about it. She was slim and trim. He was a square mass of muscle. She had dark eyes and black hair; he had silver eyes and green hair. She liked it when it was smooth and soft. He liked it when it was rough and savage. So, he went to see him again and again. And thanks to Zoro, for some minutes, Sanji could forget about his past.

But one day, he found the green-haired man dancing with another man. He knew he was only a whore who was fucking him for money, but seeing him stick to another, made him furious. She left him for another. She left him for someone else. What if Zoro leaves him too? What if Zoro left him for someone who could pay him more? He couldn't bear it. Zoro was his way of not thinking about her. He couldn't let him go for the moment, not till he fell in love again. But will he even be able to fall in love again? Sanji wasn't sure of it. So, they decided to make the deal, where he was exclusive to him. That way, Sanji knew Zoro couldn't leave because of the money. Zoro needed money, and Sanji had a lot, so he was willing to invest in Zoro for his well-being.

Lost in his thoughts, Sanji didn't hear the people next to him leave little by little. When he came to his senses, he was alone in the room. This meant that the day was finally over. He looked at his watch: 4pm. He still had time to go to the beach and meet the boys. Sanji entered the car and drove like a crazy man, passing all the cars he thought were going too slowly. The boys were going to be so happy when he announced that they would be able to come with him to the restaurant opening.

After about ten minutes of driving, Sanji parked near the beach, not far from his home. He was still dressed in his suit, but he didn't have time to go inside and change. The boys would be home soon, so if he wanted to see them at the beach, he had to go in that outfit.

The parking lot was a little height above the beach, which gave Sanji a good viewpoint to find the people he was looking for. Finding a green-haired man wasn't really difficult, his hair colour being so atypical. After a few seconds, he found the person he was looking for. He smiled at the vision. He had his beach tank and some sunglasses, with a bottle in his hand.

But Sanji frowned. He gave the bottle to a red-haired man sitting next to him. Very close, a little too much to his liking. Who dares come next to his Zoro? The man laughed loudly, a laugh that Sanji found horrible, and took the opportunity to move closer to Zoro. What the hell? They were talking like everything was normal. Zoro didn't move an inch. Was the man touching the green-haired man's arm?

That was too much for Sanji to look at. He climbed down and found himself on the beach, walking with a dark aura. So, Zoro allowed himself to be flirted with by a complete stranger, and he didn't mind. Who did he think he was? With each step, he became a little angrier, staring at the two of them talking as if nothing had happened and laughing.

He was about to speak to the two men when Chopper ran up and called Zoro, tears in his eyes. He could clearly listen to their conversation. Luffy and Usopp were drowning. Shit, they didn't know how to swim. It was the green-haired man's fault if he had continued to keep an eye on them instead of letting himself be dragged down, this would never have happened.

Zoro started running, and Sanji followed him, running too. Even if he was furious with Zoro, Usopp, and Luffy didn't have anything to do with it. And who would he be if he let two teenagers drown without help? He saw Zoro enter the water as he tried to run. Was he stupid or what? Did the mosshead forget he didn't know how to swim too? He didn't have time to go and save a third. He took off his jacket and shoes and dived into the water. After a few seconds, he caught up with Zoro, who was struggling to move forward.

"Sanji!" exclaimed Zoro when he finally saw the blond man.

"Get out of here." Sanji ordered with a dark voice. Zoro stared at him, a little surprised to see him. Since when was the blond at the beach? But Zoro executed as he knew he was useless. He couldn't help and was more of a nuisance than anything else. He went back to Chopper, hoping the blond would arrive in time to save the two.

Sanji swam till he saw the straw hat of Luffy floating. There they were, struggling to keep the current from carrying them out to sea. Sanji hurried off and finally reached them. He grabbed each boy by the arm and led them back to the beach. Zoro and Chopper ran towards them.

"Are you ok, guys?" Sanji asked a little preoccupied.

"Yeah, thanks, Sanji." Luffy said.

"You saved us." Usopp completed while coughing.

Sanji breathed out and got on his feet. Zoro and Chopper finally arrived close to the boys. Seeing the two approaching, Sanji left the beach, not willing to start an argument now with Zoro. He couldn't forget Zoro's image of flirting with another man. He wants to flirt with another man. He wants to do things with another man. Well, he's about to be served.

Thinks are accelerating be prepared for the next chapter!
