"Flo, I am going to my office come there after a while" I say and leave as fast as I can anywhere near Eliza.
It's like she is a magnet and I keep on getting attracted but I know the truth is that she is fire and the more I want to get near the moreI'll get burned but the twisted thing is I am willing to get burned.
Waking to my office I pace around as my head gets filled with thoughts about the future.
Where is this going? Where am I going with this?
The first thing I need to do is call Thomas and let him know about this. So, I take my phone and dial his number as I hear ringing sound.
A while after he picks up and I hear a "hello"
"Hello, this is Xavier"
"Yes Xavier, I have your number saved say what you want to say..."
"So, I am sure you heard the news? Hence the deal will take more longer than you and I predicted"
"Oh yes I've heard but Xavier, mind one thing, no matter how long it takes you must anyhow fulfil your promise"
A pang of anger and guilt hits me as I resist the urge to swear at him and say "of course I wasn't making any second choices.." to which he hums and I hang up after muttering a bye.
Pfft why was he interrogating me? Did he have any doubts about the deal? It's so hard to tell based on a single conversation.
I sit down as I hear Flo entering the room. She walks in and jumps on the couch as it makes a screeching sound.
"Daf- this couch doesn't have a spring?"
"Why on earth would you assume that?" I retort back as she continues to jump like a maniac.
"Florence stop it before I end up strangling you" to which she continues to laugh like the moron she is.
"Why did you call me Xenophobe?"
"How many times have I asked you not to call me that?" She found a nickname years ago due to the fact that people are scared of me so she added my name to phobia and has been pestering me since than.
"How many times have I said you I won't Xenophobe?" She snorts at her own words and continues "now why did you call me? Say fast I have to go watch a movie with El"
Since when are they in nickname terms? Ignoring her I continue.. " if we're stuck for a week it means that there will be certain issues regarding Eliza which you have to look after because.."
"Because?" She asks "Because I..."
She stops for a moment and looks at me "because what Xavier?" I stand up and walk towards the window as I say "because there might me a chance I am getting attracted to her"
**
Psych that's the wrong number.
"You're getting what to her!!" She exclaims standing up.
"You heard me Flo, and I know you can sense it too.. that there is a certain .. a certain... a certain spark I feel whenever we are in the same room and I don't know how to control it. I am afraid I'll end up doing something...."
"Something ... bad which will effect us both very bad"
She sighs putting on an worried expression and walks up to me "Xavier are you okay? I've never seen you like this! What's going on? You know you can talk to me right?"
I nod at her as I say "I know Flo..."
"It started..." I halt at my words unsure if I want to reveal my bottled feelings to Flo. I have no doubt about privacy but I am scared she'll see the true me beneath these barriers I've created.
"Flo you know how my parents died right?" She nods at me and says "in a car accident right? But what does it have to do with this?"
I shake my head in response as she speaks "no? But that's how you told me they passed away!"
"Well, I actually lied because I didn't want to share such an important piece of me"
"Then how did they die Xavier? You know you can talk to me right? I completely respect your personal space but sometimes you need to open up and rest assured that your words will remain in this room and no soul shall hear about this"
"I don't know Flo, all I can tell you is that they never got the happy ending.. I tried a lot to save them but it all happened in front of my eyes I just I couldn't- " I halt when I realise if I speak any further I might tear up.
She comes forward and hugs me "Xavier it's okay.. you don't have to say it I understand your pain and no matter what you do I'll support you"
I nod and get away from her due to too much closure as she respects and moves away to give distance between us.
"But Xavier, what about Eliza? You never said me how it started?"
I sit down on my chair as she sits on the table.
"When I first went to make the deal and saw her for the first time, I was beyond smitten because I never saw anyone so beautiful except my mother and that's what terrified me but regardless I accepted the deal as I always face my demons...
But when I had my first acquaintance with her I was so surprised the way I felt attracted to her and it continued the more amount of times I talked to her, and when I bought her to the house I have in Washington and she woke up looking all tired covered in blood still I found her pretty can you believe it?"
To which she just nonchalantly looks at me and I continue..
"I never felt any emotion like I felt when I saw her cry for the first time and it surprised me so much that if her mere crying can make me feel so overwhelming.. then what will I feel when I hand her over to Thomas?"
Flo doesn't say anything and just continues to look at me with the same expression that I have on my face... worry.
"Isn't it weird how quickly I got attached to her?"
"It is indeed Xavier and the matter has diverted to a very worrisome turn. And I have a feeling that destruction? has just begun"
