Chapter 6

Some days have passed and The party is next week at around 7 pm. The house is pretty big and I heard he has a pool. I would need a lay out of his house but a pool is a pool. I'm sure he will be selling or giving out those same pills Malcolm talks about but I don't really know how much so I'll steal two handfuls and put it in My bag. I have to remember I cannot injure the body. No choking, beating or anything that can leave a bruise....her hair. Okay, okay.... yea! Then I can get the pills from Brandon, slip it in her drink and then she won't really know what's happening! I pull on my earlobe as it starts to itch and I write out the plan in steps. Majority of it is planned, it's just casualties such as witnesses or irrational behavior but you can never plan or predict those. Oh hmmm... I should be good for now. Elizabeth is a lot.... she's actually doing too much. I've warned her, what, twice???? And she still didn't get it. She brought this on herself.

It was Friday morning and the party was specifically next Friday. I really have time to do whatever I want but the anticipation was getting to me. Days were going slower and my mind was constantly on the party. My focus in school was starting to waver. The day had ended and Zen is taking me out to the mall to buy some clothes in advance for the party. I get in his car and he starts driving to the mall.

"What's on your mind, Xena?" He asks as he looks forward and drives on the highway.

"Hm? Nothing,baby." I reply as I look at him.

"You haven't been focusing much when in class like you usually do."

"How do you know that?"

"Well you typically pull on your earlobe when you get excited or you're thinking." His voice was calm, yet I can hear concern in it. "What's on your mind?"

"Nothing, I'm just really really excited for this partyyyyy." I reply as I bounce up and down to show my excitement.

"Oh okay! I am too," he smiled "oh I have to talk to you about stuff."

"Like what?"

"About things."

"Pertaining????"

"Xena, I'm not don't wanna tell you until we sit and talk." Hmmmm what does he want to talk about? He stopped at a red light.

"Come onnnnnn. Zennnnn tell me now." I started to whine.

"Noooooooo" He looked at me. His face was straight yet I can see the kindness and love in it.

"Oh my god, fine. So bossy sometimes, jeez." I sit back and pout. So mean.

"Nope, fix your face. Come here." He grabbed my face and forced me to look at him. He was smiling softly. He quickly kissed my lips over and over again which made me smile while my face was in his hands. " You aren't in trouble with me. You didn't do anything wrong."

I giggle while I feel my heart race and my body get warm. He looked at me with his brown eyes and all I wanted to do was melt in his arms. I wanted to jump on him and rip my clothes off so he could run his hands all over me and grope my chest an- ahh focus focus. "Okay baby." He let's go of my face and I sit back in the seat, happy as can be. The light turns green as he faces forward and drives with one hand as he uses the other to rub my thigh.

Ten Minutes had passed and we arrived at the mall. I pulled Zen along to each store. About two hours had passed until he sat me down and ordered us food at some fast food restaurant. He brought our food to the table as I patiently waited. He got me a burger with fries and a soda.

"You left your shirt at my place, love." I say as he places my food in front of me.

"Oh you can keep it then. Have you been eating well?" He asked as he ate his fries from his meal which was the exact same thing as mine.

"Mhmmmmm. I've been learning how to cook actually." I take a big bite of my burger.

"Oh really? Hm I might have to come over way more often then." He keeps eating his fries as he takes a napkin to wipe my mouth.

I swallow my food before talking. "You to myself for so many hours. I would love that."

"Mhm I would too, baby. Okay but let's talk now."

"Okay, what about?"

"Elizabeth."

I felt my face and attitude change completely. "I fucking hate her."

"I know."

"All she does is flirt with you to make me upset and it works."

"I know."

"She doesn't seem to understand that I'm your girlfriend and you belong to me and me only."

"I know."

"Stop fucking saying 'I know' Zen!" It's irritating me.

"Okay okay. Well she's been messaging me."

I fucking know that, I read your text messages. "Oh really? What has she been saying?" He takes out his phone and shows me the messages that I've already read plus more. I get even more frustrated. And he's fucking replying still! "Zen, why are you entertaining this shit!?!"

"I'm not, I told her to stop and that I have a girlfriend multiple times."

"Look at me." He looks me deep in my eyes, "don't reply to that girl again."

"But Xena, there is obviously a reason why she is like this. I wanna know why." He says. He seems concerned for her. Since when did he care?

"What did I just say?"

"Mmm..."

"What. Did I say?" I need him to say it to me to be clear.

"Mmmmm don't reply to her again." He says low and softly. He rubbed his hands together out of nervousness. I lean over the table to hold his head up to kiss his lips softly.

"I'm sorry Zen, but you're mine. My boyfriend. I'm not comfortable with you texting her at all. If I figure out that you have been texting her again after this clear instruction to not text her, you'll be in trouble Zen and you don't want that." I was holding his face in my hands. "Do I make myself clear?"

"Xena, there is more to th-"

"Zen."

"...okay. Yes, you were clear. I won't message her again." He sounded a bit said.

"Good. I love you. Now eat your food." I say as I let go of his face and sit back down."

"I love you too." He put on a smile as he continued to eat. Don't worry Zen. Soon we won't even have to worry about Elizabeth and we can be stress free. You're mine, okay? My Zen, My Baby, My King. I'll be sure keep it that way. I love you with all my heart, Zen.
