Thriving Heart (Zenix x Reader) |Book Two| [HOLD]

Replacement?!

Y/N's POV

No, that would just be stupid. He couldn't be my replacement, he's a boy. But my brain is already flashing images in my head and I'm scared to even look at the bathroom door. Five minutes pass, he's still in there. He could be in there changing... I shake the thought away and come to a conclusion: Zenix is not my replacement. I walk to the dressing room and see that no one is in there. Clearly my replacement is late... I put my clothes back on, take off that tight maid outfit and walk out. Kawaii~Chan is at the guys table, either taking they're order or being annoying and talking about how I was in a F/C maid outfit. Either way, I'm doing her job better than she is. All of the guys look at me, slight disappointment on they're faces.
"Where's the maid outfit, Y/N?" Dante asks me, sounding a bit desperate. I smirk,
"I worked my whole shift on the other side of the café."
"Darn it, Y/N!" Laurence groans and I just crack up. Kawaii~Chan flashes me a confused look,
"Y/N~Sama, your shift was done about seven minutes ago. Kawaii~Chan thinks your replacement is here getting ready."
"No, no one has showed up yet," I answer.
"Oh! No one is in the bathroom or in the dressing room?" Kawaii~Chan tilts her head to one side.
"Zenix is in the bathroom, but no one is in the dressing room," I reply, "I just came out of the dressing room." Kawaii~Chan's face turns a bit pale,
"Zenix~Kun is in the bathroom! Oh! Kawaii~Chan must help him!" Kawaii~Chan starts running toward the back of the café, but turns back and says, "Y/N, stay here!" And she runs, soon out of my sight because of the booths with people covering the bathroom door. I groan and sit in the booth next to Dante, putting my hands on my forehead.
"What's wrong, Y/N?" Garroth asks quietly.
"Everything is just crazy."
"I can understand that," Dante puts his arm on my back, "We just got back from vacation and now your housing four guys and working at a maid café against your will."
"At least two of us are off of your hands," Travis tries to enlighten me.
"This just isn't what I was expecting... none of this. I'm starting to have bizarre thoughts and illogical ideas..." I sigh.
"Like what?" Laurence pushes.
"Like that Zenix is my replacement for the maid café." All of the guys wrinkle they're noses.
"Ick..." Dante makes a face, "He would be the absolute worst person to be in a maid outfit..."
"Don't you mean, ABS-olute worst person?!" Travis cracks up at his own pun and Garroth lets out a snicker. I think Laurence and Dante just hide the fact that we all know it's true.
"That was terrible," Laurence says dryly. I just shake my head,
"I'm agreeing with Laurence on this one, Trav."
"Whaaaat!" Travis flings his arms up in the air, "I thought it was great!"
"In your own head, buddy," Dante can't help but smile, but he tries to sound annoyed. I suddenly remember why I'm here and elbow Dante,
"Do you know what time it is?"
"Yep," he looks at his watch, "4:16pm." I swallow some spit. It's been about six minutes since Kawaii~Chan left to apparently "help Zenix", and I abruptly stand up.
"I'm going to go see what Kawai~Chan is doing," I say and walk away from the booth, not even waiting for they're replies. When I look at the bathroom door, Kawaii~Chan is standing outside of it, yelling and turning the handle. I hear Zenix's voice in there too. "What's going on?" I ask her and she whips her head to look at me, letting go of the door handle.
"Kawaii~Chan knew that the bathroom door gets stuck when you lock it and she forgot to put a sign on it!"
"What?!" I gasp, "ZENIX, ARE YOU IN THERE?!" I yell at the door.
"YES, I'VE BEEN STUCK IN HERE FOR ALMOST TWENTY MINUTES!!!" he shouts back, but it doesn't come out that loud. I flash a worried look at Kawaii~Chan, then I grow determined.
"I know how to get the door open," I mutter and I walk into the dressing room, getting a hairpin from my bag, walking back to the bathroom door, and shoving it into the keyhole. I try and turn it so that the door handle will unlock, but it won't budge. "C'MON!!!" I groan at it and turn it harder. I hear a clicking sound and the pins drop out of my hands, a little bent. The door swings open and Zenix come out, looking extremely annoyed.
"Well that was the worst experience of my life," he mumbles and I hug him.
"Kawaii~Chan is sorry for not putting the sign up!" Kawaii~Chan apologizes. Then she picks up my bent hairpins, "She will also replace your hairpins!"
"Naw, it's okay, Kawaii~Chan!" I assure her, "I have plenty at home!"
"Oh, okay!" Kawaii~Chan smiles, then she tilts her head to look at the front door of the café, "There's your replacement!" I stand next to Kawaii~Chan and see my replacement walk through the door: Michi.
"That makes more sense..." I murmur to myself. Then I smile. Zenix would look so weird in a maid outfit... I don't think I'm ever going to get that image out of my head.

Well, it looks like you figured everything out! I hope you guys enjoyed this long chapter! A new chapter will be out very soon!
