My Love
Are you done with your meeting?Zayne
Yes. I have 15 minutes left to spare.My Love
Perfect.I grabbed some coffee from the break room.
Zayne
I have milk tea.My Love
Jealous. 🥺
Zayne chuckled as he leaned back in his seat, rereading the messages he had just received. He could picture you pretending to playfully pout at your own desk at the Hunters Association, but aside from that, he could also see the little smile forming on your face. It was more than likely an exact replica of his own smile and happiness being able to share this brief quiet moment together in spite of the distance separating the two of you.
Quietly, Zayne opened a different app and through purely muscle memory, he quickly placed an order.
Zayne
It’s on the way.My Love
??????!!!!!!!
Zaynie, you didn’t have to do that! I was kidding!!! 🥺
Zayne
I know. I just wanted to. Consider it an afternoon pick-me-up for later.My Love
Hehe. When you put it that way, it would be so impolite of me to decline! 🥹
Zayne chuckled as he read the latest message, feeling tickled by your quick mood change. “That’s my girl,” he murmured to himself, taking a sip from his cup. Absently, he made a note to himself to next time request his milk tea extra sweetened at this particular shop. It wasn’t up to his usual standard, but it would do for today, since he had someone sweeter to brighten his mood.
The next ten minutes passed quicker than Zayne would have liked, and while obligations called, he wished he could spend more time chatting with you instead. He always enjoyed these little talks about nothing when his conversation partner is you.
You both could talk about random anecdotes, discuss future plans, or share little jokes, and Zayne would treasure each conversation like a keepsake memory.
My Love
I have to head back. I promised to help Tara with her assignment after my break.Zayne
I need to head back as well.
“Dr. Zayne? Are you available right now?”
Zayne heard a faint knock at his door, and saw Greyson peeking in. He answered the other doctor with a polite nod of his head. “Give me five minutes. I will be with you in a bit.”
“Understood,” Greyson acknowledged with a polite smile. He noticed Zayne’s phone in his hand, and he slyly smiled before he was shooed away by Zayne’s stern look. Distantly, he heard Nurse Yvonne’s voice mingling with Greyson’s, and he sighed, suspecting the two were once again talking about him and you.
Zayne didn’t dwell on the matter for that long, hearing a sudden low rumbling in the sky outside, followed almost instantaneously by the rapid pitter-patters of rain. He stood up from his seat and approached the large, wide window in his office, seeing the heavy raindrops hitting the thick glass in quick successions.
Zayne
It’s raining right now.Stay warm. I love you.
My Love
I love you, too. The milk tea you ordered will be perfect for today! 🥹Don’t work too hard! I will see you at dinner tonight. I love you more. ❤️
The last message stayed with Zayne, lingering alongside his widened smile. As he quietly left his office, he thought to himself:
I love you the most.
