[Chapter Two]: Lily Stays the Night

Start from the beginning
                                        

Zen was also shamelessly shirtless in which exposed his toned muscle underneath his flawless pale skin. I couldn't help the heat that rose to my face.

"Is everything alright in here?" He inquired while he ran a hand back through his bangs.

"Z-zen!" I gasped pressed my palms against his chest in a inevitable failure to somehow cover it up, "We have a guest! Why are you walking around shirtless?!"

With a chuckle, my boyfriend wrapped an arm around my waist, "I don't think she minds, my princess."

Zen turned towards Lily who I noticed, only for a moment, was glaring at me with envy.

Then it hit me.

So that was it! She was only a little jealous fangirl, "You'll be sleeping in (Y/N)'s room tonight. My darling princess will be sleeping with me, I hope you don't mind."

Lily shook her head with a kind and optimistic smile, "Not at all."

Her accent had returned.

"Good. I'll even treat you to breakfast. And then after we eat, we'll take you home."

He looked down at me with this impish smile, "If that okay with you, Ms. Manager," his teasing words easily slid off his tongue.

The theorized to be albino man pulled me against his side, which resulted in blood rushing to my cheeks with embarrassment.

I didn't want to be seen in such a vulnerable state. So I rolled my eyes and pretended to be unaffected by his words, despite the fact that it was pretty blatant, "Of course, lovely Zen." There was no sarcasm in my words; it was straightforward and sweet.

"Then those are our plans," Zen confirmed, "Lily, you can use the shower. Feel free to use as much soap as you need. We can always buy more if you use it all up."

Lily nodded her head rapidly, "Okie dokie! Thank 'ya so much!"

Though I believed I shouldn't have been so paranoid about the way she acted: I was. Surely she was just a fan who was jealous of my relationship with Zen. That was only natural of a huge supporter who had probably been aware of Zen's existence longer than I had.

"No problem," Zen gave her one of his precious smiles, before he took me waist and dragged me off to his room.

Lily See's POV

I stood in the restroom and stripped the filthy school clothes from my body, "I can't believe I had to go through all this trouble," I muttered to myself as I gazed in my reflection in the mirror.

"I finally get to meet Zen in person and this is how I look," I took the revolting brown wig from my head and shook out my silky blonde hair, which (with no surprize, may I add) was still in perfect shape. Next went the brown contacts and the old glasses. Then off with the bandage I tightly wrapped around my chest to give myself a younger appearance.

Before, a nerdy fangirl with a strange accent: now, a talented actor who had been blessed with the looks of a goddess. My blue eyes were slightly irritated from wearing those contacts all day and my chest throbbed with pain.

I sighed.

I knew I'd have to sleep in this uncomfortable disguise, but it was all worth it if I got my soul mate in the end. It was inevitable. How could I not get him? Our looks and our skill in acting was perfectly matched. We'd be a complete power couple!

Lillian Swan and Zen!

The thought made me squeal with joy.

But there was one problem...

(Y/N).

How could he love such a hideous creature? I don't even know if I could consider that thing a living being.

"No matter," I said my reflection with a beautiful grin, "She will be out of the way, soon enough. And I will personally make sure of it."

(Y/N)'s POV

"Finally! Rest!" I announced when my back hit the silky white sheets of my boyfriend's bed.

Zen managed to slide in next to me, even though I had taken up the entire bed like a giant starfish.

"I appreciate your hard work today, princess. I wouldn't have been able to make it through the day without you." He commented as he watched me crawl underneath the covers.

"It was really all you, Zen," Lily's words from earlier crossed my mind, "I didn't do much at all."

Zen inched closer to me with a grin and gravity pulled me towards him. I squeaked as I rolled over and hit his chest, "You have to be kidding. You deal with almost everything. All I do is act and sing. You are the one who deals with everything important," He insisted.

I looked up at him with a neutral face, "Maybe...but I couldn't have my job without your acting."

"And I wouldn't be able to act without my manage," he added. Zen wasn't going to give up this argument, was he? I chuckled to myself.

"Alright. You win for now, mister," I reached up and poked his nose.

Zen let out a small laugh of amusement, "I love you so much. You're so cute," He wrapped his muscular arms around my (body size) frame.

I could feel my heartbeat pound against my chest and I was sure my cheeks were pink, "I love you more," I teased him. My gaze never left his beautiful red eyes.
