Give Me a Reason [Zed Necrodopolis AU]

" Couple "

1 week until homecoming

Zed and Millie quickly fell into a routine of sorts. Bringing each other coffee in the morning, rides to and from school. Making out in the car after practice, going to the parties together after games. Zed brought Zoey to every one of Millie's volleyball games and Millie watched Zoey at all his football games. Zed even went over to Millie's or met up with her at the coffee shop to study, sometimes it ended up with them just goofing off and Zed trying to feel her up.

It honestly was probably the most fun Zed ever had, he found himself ignoring girls texting him for a booty call more often. He was definitely still hooking up with girls just not as much. Millie let him use his fingers on her every now and then to get her off, if Zed persuaded her enough. He didn't get what the problem was with going further but again Millie meant more than just a fuck, he didn't keep pressing the matter. Plus even if it was just a hand job they were the best hand jobs Zed's ever had, she knew exactly how to make the big bad jock quiver under her touch.

Speaking of Millie, Zed did a double take as he looked up. He saw the gorgeous girl walking up to the coffee shop door smiling at him once her eyes met his. He finished ringing up the customer in front of him before leaning across the counter looking more than attentive.
"Damn what brings a hottie like you to this side of the tracks?" With a wink Zed placed the pen he was using behind his ear.
"Just looking for a good time, heard to call this Zed guy if I needed one.." They tried to hold each other's stares but Millie couldn't help but start laughing.
"Ha I win! Um Iced mocha with a extra shot?" Millie nodded going for her purse but Zed as usual shook his head. "We've been over this, your money is no good here Princess, it's on the house." Millie rolled her eyes as Zed blew her a kiss before turning around to make her drink. She quickly stuffed a $10 bill in the tip jar while he wasn't looking.

Millie watched the football stud quickly pump syrups and coffee into her cup, mixing it together before adding a scoop of ice.
She couldn't help but find it cute that he worked here. After Zed brought that muffin in for her that one Friday as a piece offering, she found herself waking up that next morning craving good coffee. She remembered what Zed said about Zacharys Bakery and decided she would stop in. What she hadn't realized, nor did he mention was that he worked there on the weekends during football season.

He handed her the coffee before leaning on the baked goods display case with his jaw in the palm of his hand.

"I'm surprised how dead it is.."
"Well it's 7pm on a Saturday Princess, most people in Seabrook have lives."
"Yeah yeah, speaking of are you done yet or?" Zed nodded, untying his cute little black apron from around his waist. He pulled it carefully over his gorgeous, quiffed emerald hair before hanging it up on the hook.

"I just gotta empty the register and wipe down the counters and the tables.."
"Here I got the tables, worry about the cash." Zed shrugged throwing her a rag and handing the disinfectant over before quickly counting up the money. As he was shoving everything into an envelope and filling out the deposit form, Millie handed him back the supplies.

"Let's gooo." Zed cheered grabbing his hoodie and pulling it on before checking to make sure he had everything. Millie walked out of the door as Zed enabled the alarm and locked up the shop.

Walking out into the cold Zed rubbed his hands together to warm up a bit. It was officially October and the air was getting pretty chilly at night.

"Okay Calvins so what's this movie you just had to see?" Millie bumped his hip with hers at his lame attempt at acting as if he didn't want to hang out with his best friend.
"Chucky."
"Wait what? Your dragging me with you to a horror movie?" He watched as Millie cheeks appeared a bit pink and she played with the bracelets on her wrist.
"Oh my god that's why you couldn't go alone.. don't worry princess I'll protect you." Zed laughed pulling Millie against his hips before picking her up and pinning her against the door to her Range Rover.
"Zed Necrodopolis people are—"
"Calvins the streets empty, plus come on.. you haven't stopped checking me out since you came into the shop. Feeling a little needy?" Millie bit her lip, her cheeks feeling even hotter as Zed pointed out the obvious. He timidly leaned in, brushing his chapped lips against hers. She kissed him back, moaning as he gave her ass a rough squeeze.
"Zed, were going to be late."
"This movie wasn't just a cover? Why are we going if you're terrified? And come on I can feel how hot and bothered you are through your leggings.. wait are you seriously not wearing panties?" Millie kissed him hard to shut the overly curious boy up, biting down on his bottom lip. Earning a groan, followed by a whine as she unwrapped her legs from around him.
"Zed, get in the car."
