Chapter 50 - Meet n' Greet Posters

(Lynnon and Ezekiel make it home and while Lynnon was jumping for joy, Ezekiel was annoyed and mad)

Lynnon-" Did you hear that! I only said I wanted a job today and I just got offered one, and it's with you and your dad too?! This is amazing"

Ezekiel-" No! No, it really isn't"

(Lynnon's smile immediately fades away)

Lynnon-" What?"

(Ezekiel looks back at Lynnon and he was furious)

Ezekiel-" I didn't even want you to meet my dad! Now he's giving you a job and it just HAD to be him of all people!"

Lynnon-" Hey. Calm down"

(Lynnon leads Ezekiel into sitting on one of the dining table chairs. He rubs his eyes with his index finger and thumb of one hand)

Lynnon-" What's wrong?"

Ezekiel-" Lynnon, you have NO idea how WRONG my father is. He doesn't care for anything but his profits and popularity"

Lynnon-" He seemed like he cared a lot about you while we were talking-"

Ezekiel-" He was ACTING! He NEVER acts like that. NEVER! Remember that night I came home with my face messed up. I needed you to comfort me. It was him! He had the audacity to hit me, his son, because my pictures weren't fucking good enough for him!"

(Ezekiel sits forward and rests his elbows on his knees as he covered his face with his hands)

Ezekiel-" I never wanted you to be associated with him in the first place. Even when we were just friends, I never wanted him to even speak your name. I get so PISSED OFF just thinking about you getting hurt because of him. Mentally or physically"

Lynnon-" Ezekiel..."

(Lynnon was now on her knees, sitting on the floor in front of Ezekiel while looking up at him. She places her hand on his cheek. He takes his hands off his face and lays his eyes upon Lynnon's worried face. He began to calm down)

Ezekiel-" Get up here..."

(Ezekiel takes Lynnon and sits her on his lap. Lynnon massaged the sides of his head as they continued to talk)

Ezekiel-" I'm sorry. I'm not mad at you I'm just..."

Lynnon-" Frustrated?"

(Ezekiel glances away and nods)

Lynnon-" I get what you're saying and I'm sorry to hear your dad acted that way. He has you hooked around his pinky and as much as you long to leave, you can't because he's your father, and you're his son. There's no way you can escape it easily"

(Ezekiel pulls Lynnon's head closer to him)

Ezekiel-" I don't want you worrying about this stuff. I'm sorry I even said anything"

Lynnon-" It's OK. I won't take the job offer if you don't want me to. If it'll help ease your worry about this whole me and your father thing then I'll do it. I care about you and as long as you're fine, I'm fine"

(Ezekiel sighs)

Ezekiel-" I want you to get the job if you WANT to. If you don't get the job, that's fine. If you do, at least we're working in the same place, doing the same stuff, so I'll be able to look after you"

(Not long after, Lynnon started working for the company. She wanted to give it a shot. She was brought to her own personal room farther away from everyone else since she was dating Ezekiel. She was given special treatment, but with that special treatment came more expectations and that was something that would come to bite her later on. After a month of working there, she had begun to get more comfortable and began to learn new things which at the same time, wasn't a good thing either)

CD-" Knock knock"

(Lynnon looks over to the open door to see the creative director)

Lynnon-" Oh. Hello"

CD-" I just came here to give you a new assignment. It shouldn't be too hard. I just need a few poster designs for a meet n' greet with the new group, DNE. It'll be big since they're new and gaining fans fast but then again it IS a meet n' greet. Just don't mess it up and you won't piss off Chimons. He's definitely the harshest critique in the company and I guess it makes sense. He owns it"

(The CD places a thin folder on a table in the room then leaves. Lynnon quickly washes her hands, ridding them of paint. She then grabs the folder and reads the information on the project. Suddenly, another knock on the door but this time it was a real one. She looks over and there stood Ezekiel)

Ezekiel-" Hey"

Lynnon-" Hi"

(Ezekiel walks up to her and looks down at the folder)

Ezekiel-" What's this?"

Lynnon-" New DNE project. Again"

Ezekiel-" All your other ones have been fine"

Lynnon-" Your FATHER definitely doesn't think so. I totally see what you meant when you told me about him"

Ezekiel-" Has he done anything?"

(A fire began to burn inside Ezekiel. Lynnon shakes her)

Lynnon-" Just annoying comments. Nothing brutal"

(Lynnon rubs her head)

Lynnon-" It's just a little stressful but I'm fine"

Ezekiel-" Well I'm sorry about that"

Lynnon-" Ok ok! Stop worrying. You'll make it worse"

(Lynnon begins to push Ezekiel out of her room)

Ezekiel-" Hey~ Don't push me away. I want to be with you"

Lynnon-" I need to start working on the designs. I love you; I'll see you later"

(Suddenly a 3rd person pops up. Etsuko stood there after looking for Ezekiel around the department for so long. Suddenly Lynnon gets a bit annoyed. Ezekiel let her know about Etsuko so she knew that she had a crush on him)

Etsuko-" Ezekiel! I'd looked for you everywhere"

(Etsuko tilts to the side to see Lynnon, still behind Ezekiel, trying to push him out)

Etsuko-" Hello Lynnon"

Lynnon-" Hello... Etsuko"

Etsuko-" Sorry, I just needed Ezekiel to a second. He needs to submit some things to the creative director"

Lynnon-" Ha! That's your queue to leave now"

(Lynnon fully pushes Ezekiel out of her room, finally. She holds both of the doors of the double door)

Lynnon-" Now I need to focus"

Ezekiel-" Well I love you"

(Lynnon shuts the door before Ezekiel could finish)

Ezekiel-" So cruel"

(Etsuko has a bit of anger under her breath)

Etsuko-" You guys are dating aren't you? She doesn't seem like she really likes you that much for you being her boyfriend"

Ezekiel-" She's stressed is all"

(Etsuko shrugs as they begin to walk away from the room)
