Only hers

Chapter 24 : Only hers

Valerie's POV:

I woke up to Xavier shuffling in bed. I glanced at him a split second.

He was still asleep.

"No. No, he can't!" He said.

What- Is he having a nightmare?

"Xavier." I whispered shaking him lightly.

"How could he?" He yelled.

"Xavier. Wake up." I shook him a bit harder.

"I-" He gasped as he woke up.

"It's okay. It's okay." I gently caressed his face, trying to calm him down.

He sighed calming down.

"I'm sorry. Did I wake you?" He seemed a bit shaken.

What was that? Who was he talking to? And more importantly who was he talking about?

"It's okay, don't worry about it." I smiled cuddling into his chest.

Silence fills the room. I want ask what that was about but it seemed kinda rude. Should I? Ok I'll just ask one question.

"What was that about?" I ask in a quiet tone.

"It's nothing important." He avoids my question.

"Xavier tell me. What was it about?" I ask again.

"Trust me it's nothing. You won't find it amusing." He said.

"Tell me."

"No."

"Please." I pleaded.

"No." He repeated blankly.

"Pleaseee" I whined.

"Fine." He sighed.

"It was about the day I found out my father killed sister."

Shit I shouldn't have asked. What is wrong with me?

"I'm sorry for asking." I went closer to his chest.

"It's alright." 

We spent a minute or two just in each other arms until he got up to shower.

I tried to get of the bed.

"Oh fuck." I said to myself.

"What is it?" He looked at me confused.

"I can't get up." I laughed at myself.

"What you mean you can't- oh. Oh." He smirked.

"Don't you dare, now help me ." I said while glaring at him.

"Fine." He chuckled.

He picked me up bridal style.

"This is going to be a fun day." I said.

"What are you doing today?" I started to make pancakes for us go eat as he worked on his laptop.

"If nothing comes up then I have have nothing to do today other than answer boring emails and texts." He answered while typing very aggressively.

"And....done." I turned of the stove and put the pancakes onto 2 plates basically drowning mine in syrup.

"Do want syrup?" He nodded.

I put syrup onto his.

"Xavier." He didn't answer.
