That One Week

"What?! A Week?!" Zoro barked.

Sanji sighed leaning against his car, "Yes, it's not that bad."

Zoro pinned Sanji to the car, "What are you leaving for?"

"Work stuff, here. Put your number in my phone and I'll call you."

Sanji handed him his phone as Zoro put in his phone number.

"Don't worry, I'll call you. I promise."

"Call me when you get there."

Sanji smiled, "I will."

They embraced exchanging small kisses before Sanji got in his car and drove off. Zoro sighed walking back to there house and going inside. He changed into a pair of sweats and went down to make coffee and read the paper.

This week was going to be hard.

A day later Zoro got a phone call. He reached over grabbing his phone and answering it.

"Hello?" Zoro grumbled.

"Well, good morning to you too sunshine." Sanji bubbled.

"It took you a day to get there?" Zoro asked.

"Oh no, I got here late yesterday and I didn't know if you awake or not so I wanted to call you now."

"I wasn't awake now."

"Yeah, I decided you also needed a wake up call, it's noon wake your lazy ass up."

Zoro chuckled, tossing over on his back.

"You miss me yet?" Sanji asked.

"Terribly."

Sanji chuckled blowing out smoke from his cigarette.

"Just a few more days and I'll be home. I'll make you a big dinner. Does that sound good? Would we be even?"

"Also we go swimming in your pool." Zoro said.

Chopper opened his door and jumped on Zoro making him groan.

"Chopper, your on my stomach." Zoro groaned.

Sanji chuckled, "I got to go. I'll call you before you go to bed."

"Alright, I'll hear from you then."

Sanji smiled hanging up and looking at his phone.

"Does someone have a little crush?" She hummed.

He dabbed out his cigarette and turned to the brunette woman.

"Don't patronize me." Sanji snapped.

He went inside shutting the door behind him.

Zoro sat saving Sanji's number in his phone.

"Did you ask if I could go play in his pool?" Luffy asked.

"Oh, I forgot."

Zoro texted Sanji asking about Luffy playing in the pool. Sanji replied with of course just clean up when your done. Luffy howled before running upstairs with Chopper behind him. Zoro chuckled as he went out to the back and jumped Sanji's fence. The backyard was simply beautiful. Luffy tried to jump the fence only to get his swim trunks stuck and slam into the fence. Marie trotted outside and curled on the rug on the porch. Zoro grumbled pulling Luffy off the fence and onto the grass. Chopper jumped over the fence and trotted up to Marie curling up with her.

"Oi! Chopper! You take care of her while Sanji's gone got it?" Zoro said.

Chopper barked as Luffy splashed into the pool with his tube floaty. Luffy, he can't swim. But he enjoyed floating around with his floaties. Zoro looked up to the dark house and sighed.
