Silent Cry

CH63 - Desperate

3rd Person's POV

Gabbie continued her steps towards him, carrying the most usual look she can gather. "I was worried you've left already," she sighed out of relief.

"W-What are you doing here?"

"Me? I'm fetching you, what else?" She then grabbed his polo and reached it to him. She is cognizant enough that she's too natural to be true as if this isn't the first time they saw each other after six long months. But as she cares less about it, she will act this way.

Xander observed her demeanor for some time until he snatched his polo from her and then continued his outfit change in her front. He was not saying anything.

Gabbie then reached out to him and attempted to help with his buttons but Xander looked away. "I can do it," he faintly stated.

"Yeah, sure. Uhm, then I'll just get your shoes," she offered again and tried to get them but Xander was fast enough to take them first. "No need," he is still sounding austere.

Gabbie can do nothing now but wait for him while she continued her tales and TMIs. "The weather is so nice today, Xander. Do you want to go tour the city? Oh, maybe you have something to do after this. It's ok, I'll come with you anywhere."

"You're not coming with me," he spat and then walked towards the door to finally come out of the ward. Gabbie was alert enough to follow him out until they reached the street.

"Where is your car parked? Mine's in front," Gabbie informed and was about to walk straight but Xander went in the opposite direction. His car is parked by the corner and when Gabbie saw he is about to start his engine, she hastily rode to her car, too to actually follow wherever he'll go.

Xander hit the road with his Ferrari. Gabbie does not even know what she is doing but all she thinks about is following him. She has to talk to him. She has to fix it all with him. She loves him.

The road Xander traveled does not lead to the mansion but Gabbie did not remove her vision to his car. She is determined not to lose him, never to lose him ever again. Fortunately, no traffic could have jammed them and if that actually happened, she must have lost sight of him already. The road was clear instead and so even though the Ferrari goes so ahead of her, she managed to come along.

Xander went down the car and Gabbie also stopped hers to get down. "Xander! Xander wait!" The woman ran to stop the man from going inside the house. Because without her realizing quickly, they arrived at a certain house that is the first time for Gabbie to see.

The man was not listening to her as he continued his strides to his door and was about to unlock it until Gabbie shove his back a little and held his arm. "I said, wait," she is now breathing heavily due to unexpected race.

"What do you want?" Xander scowled and withdraw his arm from her grab.

"Let me get myself together first." She inhaled and exhaled a few more times and now she is somehow stable. "Ok, but, where are we?"

"It's my house."

"Your house? Did you leave the mansion?"

"None of your business." He tried to open the door again but Gabbie ceased him. "What do you really want?" He is now seeming pissed off.

"Then, I'm here to visit your new house."

"I don't want to."

"Oh come on! Just for the sake of old times, I am just sincerely visiting. Can you not give me that?" Xander knows very much that once she becomes determined, she would not give up.

"Fine." Gabbie's eyes beamed so much upon receiving his approval. The man then opened the door and Gabbie went inside speedily.

"Oh, new atmosphere," she reviewed the interior while Xander went straight to the kitchen. "A bachelor's pad," she continued and roamed her eyes even more.
