Want You Back

Chapter 5

For a change, it was a bit cooler than usual. For Zoe it made no difference, because she was sweaty. All the running back and forth in the café. It was Saturday afternoon and it was more crowded than other days. Every table was occupied and it seemed like it wouldn't stop. "Sorry, you put regular milk in the coffee instead of oat milk." Zoe rolled her eyes and put on her fake smile. "I'll take care of it." she said, taking the coffee behind the counter. First she'd brought the wrong cake, then she'd forgotten the cinnamon roll, and now this. Zoe's day at work couldn't be worse.

"I'll take five." Zoe huffed out. It can't be, that she's the only one who's constantly running around here and doing her best, while her work colleagues just stand around and chat. Zoe walked in front of the coffee shop and took a deep breath. After all, she needs the money to live, she can't give that up. Two hands went around her waist. "Hi Zoe." She started to smile. "Hi Ashton. What are you doing here?" she asked, turning in his direction. "I wanted to get a coffee from the best coffee shop in town." he grinned. "I can make you one. It's so tiring today, I want to go home." Zoe yowled. "I've got some good news, to cheer you up. Our album is finally done. We're celebrating today at Luke's. Do you want to come too?" asked Ashton. "I'm happy for you guys! I love coming, a little change of pace." said Zoe, hugging Ashton.

The two went in. Zoe stood behind the braids. Ashton stood in front and looked at the drink menu. "What can I do for you, my dear?" said Zoe in an English accent. Ashton laughed. "I'd like an iced coffee latte with almond milk and extra ice cubes." Ashton replied, also in an English accent. In no time, the ordered coffee was ready. "Here you go." Zoe said, handing the coffee to Ashton. "It's on the house. For such a nice customer." "Can I give the nice coffee seller a kiss as a thank you?" asked Ashton. "That's going to embarrass me." Zoe leaned forward and Ashton pressed a kiss to her mouth. "Bye, my love." he said and walked out the door waving.

Zoe's long day at work came to an end. She quickly wiped a few tables and took the remaining dishes to the kitchen. "See you Monday!" yelled Zoe into the kitchen and walked out. Finally. The day felt longer than it was.

Dead tired, Zoe walked the streets until she arrived home. Her eyes almost fell shut. What's the lesson, don't stay up so late when there's work the next day. The purse and keys were thrown into a corner. Zoe just let herself fall on the sofa. The remote was too far away, so she just rolled onto her side and closed her eyes.

A ringing sound woke Zoe up from her dream. Automatically she looked for her phone, which was not to be found. It was the doorbell. Still sleepy, she went to the door. Ashton. "Hello Sleeping Beauty." he said and came in. It was the first time he saw the inside of Zoe's apartment. It was a very nice apartment. Small but nice. Zoe was very proud of her green couch. Zoe looked at the clock to the left of the door to the living room. "Mhh. I've been asleep for three hours." said Zoe to herself. "Apparently you needed it." replied Ashton. "Actually, I'm here to pick you up and since you didn't answer your phone, I thought I'd ring the bell." "Right. Your party. Give me ten minutes." said Zoe and ran to her bedroom. Her path went first to the closet, then to the bathroom and back to the closet.

Ashton went into the living room, so he don't disturb Zoe. He looked at the many pictures on the wall. Although Zoe had only lived here for a short time, the apartment was already completely furnished. Every detail, every picture, every vase had its own special place.

On the pictures were different people to see. On one Zoe hugged a man. Ashton could remember him. James, Zoe's twin. The two had been friends for a short time. Or had been better acquaintances. The friendship didn't last long, as Ashton had hurt Zoe James stood up for his sister. James had a big problem with Ashton from that point on. He was not only mean to Ashton with his insults, he had punched him in the face.

Ashton thought about James. But Zoe pulled him out of his thoughts. "I'm ready." Zoe said and came towards Ashton. Her emerald green dress fit her like a glove. "Wow." brought Ashton out of his mouth. "You don't look too bad yourself." replied Zoe laughing.

The two got into Zoe's favorite car. One day she'll drive an old timer too. She loved that car.

The two arrived and Ashton opened the door. "M'lady." said Ashton, offering his hand to Zoe. The two walked up the driveway and were now standing in front of the bright red front door. Ashton walked up and the music was blaring. There were a lot of different people here. A few producers, a few musicians, and of course the guys, which the party is thrown for.

"I'm going to go say hi." said Ashton with a smile, breaking away from her. Great. He could have taken Zoe with him. "Finally, a familiar face." came a voice from the crowd. "Hi Grace. How are you?" said Zoe, hugging her friend. "Pretty good so far. I'm glad to see you. There are so many people here. Wow." Grace answered and looked around the room. "I live here and I'm with Luke. Still, I don't know why they're here." Grace continued. Zoe laughed. "Come on. Let's get a drink." said Zoe, pulling Grace to the bar.

That went harder than expected. Luke had to be greeted, of course, as did Michael and Calum. Then this one and that one introduced themselves. Zoe didn't want to be rude, of course, and went into the conversations. In the process, she met another producer whose name Zoe had already forgotten. Then she met Crystal and Maya. The two apparently had something to do with Michael and Calum.

"Here, I brought you something," Grace said, putting a drink in Zoe's hand. "Thanks. What about you?" she asked, since Grace wasn't holding a drink. "I don't like alcohol. I'll stick with my lemonade." she laughed.

Zoe took a sip. "Oh, wow. That's strong." laughed Zoe. She continued her conversation with Maya. Maya is a model and has seen the whole world. She had a lot to tell and Zoe was happy to listen.

One drink was drunk after the other.

The music turned down and the four guys from the band stood in the middle. All eyes were on them.

"We are here today to celebrate our new album Youngblood." Luke began. "We put a lot of work into it, really a lot of work." Ashton said. "Our baby is finally ready." continued Michael. "That's why we're excited to share this moment with you. Cheers!" finished Calum. "Cheers!" everyone said in unison.

The album was turned on through the big speakers. The reaction from everyone was positive. There is nothing negative about the album to say anyway. Each song has its own style.

Everyone had fun. There was dancing, singing and celebrating.

"Hey, my love." said Ashton. "So this is our thing now?" asked Zoe with a laugh. "Of course it is." replied Ashton. Their eyes met. The spark of lust could be felt. Ashton took Zoe's hand and walked into some room of the giant house. Zoe paid no attention to where they were going. Her gaze was fixed on Ashton. He stroked her knuckles. Just a little touch from him made her body heat up.

Ashton took Zoe's face in both hands and ran his thumbs over her cheekbones. "I like you." Ashton's gaze drifted to her lips. "I like you, too." Ashton pulled the straps from Zoe's shoulders without taking his eyes off her face. Not even when he pulled the entire dress over her body. Nor when Zoe stood before him in only her underwear. Ashton took a step back and let his eyes wander over her body. "Ashton." Zoe whispered, making him finally touch her.

Her fingers tampered with his shirt. Ashton took off his pants and wrapped his arms around her waist. One hand on the back while the other wandered on her ass. Hungry and urgent, he pressed his lips against Zoe's. The two let their lust run free. Ashton lifted Zoe up and she wrapped her legs around his waist. Without that their lips detached from each other. Their tongues played around each other, pushing into each other's mouths. "Bend over, Zoe." Ashton commanded. Zoe looked at the bed in front of her and did as she was told. Ashton gently ran his hands over Zoe's back. He thrust into her. With both hands he grabbed Zoe by the shoulders and tried his dick inside her. Zoe had no control over her body. The heat. The waves of pleasure that spread with each thrust. His thighs pressed against Zoe's as he fucked her.
