Calm after Consequences

Zamir watched as Noah grumbled some incoherent words and stormed back out of his study.zamir knowing what was wrong rose from his chair and quietly followed the angry man back into the bedroom and waited there until Noah came out of the bathroom.

Zamir watched nervously as the other man began to put on his clothes "a_are you going to work?"

The only response he got was a grunt.

"would you like to eat something before you leave,you still have quite some time left before you resume" Zamir continued with his rambling , hoping the other man would at least give him some attention...but that doesn't seem like it was going to happen because Noah simply just checked himself in the mirror before picking up his backpack and simply walked out of the room without sparing zamir a glance.

Zamir placed his hand on his excited heart before taking a seat in the living room after the angry man left, slamming the door behind him.

Zamir chuckled quietly, never did he think he would rather prefer the cold shoulder he was getting.He sighed and lay on the couch to relieve his sore butt. He had began to drift into sleep when he heard beeping from outside, this immediately wiped the sleep from his eyes and he sat tensely on his sore buttocks once more.

Noah barged in noisily with a basket in his hands "come here" he called as he head towards the kitchen.

Zamir winced as he sat on the bar stool earning him a quick glance from the other man as served the food and placed it in front of him before digging out a pack of drugs out of his pocket and placing it right next to the plate of food in front of Zamir "take two after eating and rest" he said and picked up his backpack and turned to stand beside Zamir making the man all tensed up.

He grabbed Zamir by the hair softly, turning his face towards him before claiming his lips in a passionate kiss.

Zamir gasped as a finger sneaked into his pants and gently poked his swollen Cherry before noah finally let him go "make sure you take the drugs, I'll bring an ointment on my way back... and then we'll talk" he said while looking straight into Zamir's eyes ...

Not seeing another way out, Zamir nodded his head slowly

"good... see you later" noah said and began to leave, when suddenly he turned "and Zamir?"

"ye_yes"

"Don't step out of the house"

"... okay"

"You need something, you call me alright?"

"Fine" Zamir sighed, feeling slightly annoyed and turned back to his meal.

"Glad you understand" he heard the root of his rising annoyance say behind him, followed by footsteps and the closing of the door.

Zamir grabbed his head and relaxed his tensed nerves "what the hell?" he muttered.

Noah didn't come back that night, Zamir who woke up at past twelve midnight, noticed he was the only one in bed.

Dragging his feet to the living room to find his phone,he dialled Noah's number

"Where are you? this is past midnight"

"I didn't want to disturb you,I went home... did you just wake up?"

"Yeah...you should have told me earlier or sent me a text" Zamir sat and rubbed his eyelids "how's Helen?"

"She's kicking... what are you up to on Sunday?"

"Why, wanna take me on a date, I'm quite expensive, Mister Lopez?" Zamir teased

"Do you want us to go on a date Mr Jackson?"

Zamir laughed softly "we can, when you're on your feet...I'll wait"

"Okay... we'll see about that, anyways you got to come over on Sunday, you're the one who promised to help make donuts"

"Okay, I'll come..."

Noah hesitated "am I allowed to leave the house tomorrow atleast?"

".... of course Zamir, you don't need my permission for that, I'm still pissed at you but that doesn't mean I'd take your life from you..."

"I love you, you know that right?"

"Yeah... I love you too " Zamir answered sheepishly

"So keep your body from the claws of thirsty men, I only have eyes for you and you should do the same too "

"I love you Zamir, you mean the world to me,I want you to always know that "

"Okay baby..."

"Something comes up you call me okay?"

"Yeah..."

"See you Sunday... sweet dreams "

"Good night " Zamir answered softly and blew a short kiss into the phone ending the call.

Zamir nodded at the security officer as he walked into the elevator. He doesn't really need to be in the office but knowing his nature,he wouldn't be able to while away time at home either,Noah won't be coming back until tomorrow probably so he'll just be alone all by himself "morning" he answered his secretary as he walked into his office.

About five minutes after, Sophie knocked and entered his office to fill him in on his schedule for the day;thanks to her boss unannounced absence from work,his schedule was quiet tight and despite the virtual meeting they managed to fix for yesterday,she still ended up coming in for overtime.

"Here's the schedule list sir" she handed the tab to him.

Zamir hummed and nodded in agreement before handing her the tab "okay, but are you sure if we keep strictly to the time allocated for each, we'd be able to cover it up?"

"Quiet certain sir" Sophie answered eagerly, it's not everytime her opinion was required

"Alright then, I'll leave the rest to you" he said gesturing for her to leave first

Once alone, Zamir walked up to the tall bookshelf in his office, he glanced around, looking at the titles, finding the one he was looking for,he pulled it out and the stretched his fingers into the vacant space and then a 'click' was heard and the lowest row on the bookshelf turned revealing a safe.

Zamir bent to the safe and punched in the pin and opened it, pulling out a phone,he locked in back immediately and hid it again,revealing rows of books arranged on the bookshelf.
