I can't believe this.. I am yet again stuck with this guy. Like why must fate do me so bad? What the heck am I supposed to do.
Okay I get it I am attracted to him but that does not mean I'll ignore his other compartments.. he is a freaking goon for goodness's sake.
I can't ever imagine a future with him. Why the heck am I going that far? He and I have nothing in common to even start a thing.
I slammed the bathroom door and now am seated on the cold marble. It's freezing here. But I'd rather freeze to death then strike a conversation with him.
My legs felt wobbly as I hugged them even closer to my chest. Suddenly my eyes felt heavy and before I realised fatigue consumed all of me.

Thud. Thud. Thud.
"Eliza.. Elizaaa" a strong male voice woke me up and I opened my eyes to see my entire leg numb.
Realisation took over me as I realised I collapsed on the floor. Getting up I straightened my outfit and walked towards the door.
Opening it I saw Xavier about to knock again but stopped when he saw me.
"Are you okay? I thought you were dead"
"Well as you can see I am not"
"Stop being sarcastic for a minute, did you seriously fall asleep on the floor? How much more careless can you seriously get?"
Ugh I wish I could slap him. Sitting in the bed I say "please shut up"
oh god, Where am I getting all this confidence from? Must be the cupcakes I ate.. I knew I put something weird in it...
He raises a brow at me as he sits on the couch "You know, I sometimes wonder how could someone fall for you? How could Tho.."
Confusion slips on me as I say "what do you mean? Who is Tho?"
He shakes his head as he gently puts one leg over another. "Nothing it's just that.. this whole deal I'm starting to regret it"
"No one asked you to take this deal.. only if you told me the real person behind this all this would have been long over"
Sitting up he looks at me as if he is pondering over some thought and then says "how about we play a game?"
I sit up more straight and say "a game? What sort of a game?"
"A game.. do you know how to play chess Eliza?" He squints his eyes at me and I nod saying "yes, I was state champion in my school days"
His eyes widen for a second before going back to normal "very well then.. how about we play a game of chess? Winner gets to ask opponent three questions or three dares and the opponent must do it anyhow"
