Zeb
Since I had met Garazeb Orrelios he had been a mystery to me. The moment I arrived on the ship with my brother he acted like he hated my guts, though that could be because I tased him, but that was nearly three years ago and since then he has become a friend to my brother, but still stays clear of me.
"I don't get it." I said as I let out a groan.
"Get what?" Ezra asked as he looked over at me.
"I don't get Zeb. He acts like he hates me!" I exclaimed.
"You did tase him."
"I thought he was going to kill you! And I would think after nearly three years he would get over it." I growled out.
Ezra shrugged his shoulders and I let out a sigh.
"What do I have to do to get him to forgive me?" I asked as I let out a sigh.
"I don't know, but we got a job." Ezra said as he sent me a smile.
"Great." I said as I stood up.
We made it to a shipping company and saw two lasats walk out of a cargo container. We quickly helped them and after putting my staff away I turned to look at them.
"That was amazing, I am Gron, and who are you?" The lasat male asked with a smile.
Before I could answer Zeb stepped in front of me and started to question them. I frowned as I followed them to the ship and looked over at Ezra.
"Now he doesn't even want me to talk to his people, how can he hate me so much?" I asked angrily.
Being honest I hated the thought of Zeb hating me. Since I had met Zeb I thought he was one of the bravest men I have ever met, not to mention the most stubbornest, but that was the whole reason I love him, not love like... I like him.
I set in the living area and frowned as I felt someone sit beside me. I looked up and saw Gron smiling at me.
"I never got your name." He said softly.
"(Y/n) Bridgers." I said softly.
"It's a honor to meet you." He said softly.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, So is it true that Lasan still exists?"
"Yes, and with Garazeb's help we can return." He said happily.
"I'm happy for you all and Zeb, he deserves to not be the last of his people." I said softly.
"So are you and he.... together?"
"Like a couple? No, Zeb is only a friend, well if I could say a friend.... I actually think he hates me because I tased him when we first met." I said as I let out a sigh.
"So you are not taken?"
"Nope, perfectly single." I said with a smile.
"So I have a chance with you?" He asked with a smile.
"I wouldn't say that, I have feelings for someone." I said softly.
"But you could like someone else." He said as he got closer.
"Sadly no." I said as I scooted away from him.
Gron went to say something, but was cut off by Zeb walking into the room.
"Gron, you're needed in the cockpit." Zeb said with a frown.
"We shall speak again later." Gron said as he stood up and left the room.
I looked over at Zeb and saw a frown on his face, before I could say anything to him though he had left the living area. We soon made it to Lasan and I watched as Gron walked up to me.
"I hope I didn't make you uncomfortable, Zeb explained your relationship and how you aren't allowed to tell your crew." He said with a bow of his head before he left.
Soon Zeb returned to the ship and I walked into his room.
"Ezra isn't here." He grumbled out.
"Not here for him, what did you say to Gron?" I asked with a frown.
"Told him that you were taken. I saw how uncomfortable you were with him." He said calmly.
"You didn't have to do that." I said softly.
"Don't worry bout it."
"Why did he say that he knew about our... secret relationship?"
"I might of told him we were secretly dating."
"Why not just tell him I was interested?"
"Cause he would of still went after you, only way to get a lasat to back off is if you say you are taken."
"So you lied to him?"
He shrugged his shoulders and I bit my lip.
"Why do you hate me? Is it because I tased you, because I am sorry about tha-"
"I don't hate you." He said as he cut me off.
"Then why ignore me?"
He let out a sigh and turned to look at me.
"I'm not like most Lasat's other males.... well let's say they don't respect women's space. They do whatever they need to for them to get their mate."
"That doesn't explain why you ignore me, or why you act like you can't stand to be around me."
"That's cause I can't, you.... you're intoxicating. Just being in the same room with you drives me crazy." He said softly.
"What are you saying?"
"I'm saying that I love you, and because of that I try to stay away from you because I know that it won't go anywhere."
"Who are you to say that? How do you know nothing will come of us?"
"I'm a lasat and you are.... beautiful, inside and out. You need someone who you can be seen with outside."
"And why couldn't I been seen with you? Zeb, there is no one in this galaxy that I would rather be with then you." I said as I gently laid my head on his cheek.
He leaned into my touch and let out a sigh.
"I'm given you a chance to back out, but know if you don't take it..... you're stuck with me." He whispered.
"Sounds like a win win to me." I said as I leaned up and gently kissed him.
