Last night I cried in Xavier's arms until I fell asleep. That was the first time in 3 years, since my parents died, that I actually had a good night's sleep. I woke up extra early the next morning and  felt less tired. A small burden lifted from my shoulders and it felt strange, yet good at the same time. I had gotten so accustomed to my shitty life, so much that I forgot what happiness felt like.

I jumped from the bed and stretched my back, looking down only to realize I had in the same clothes since yesterday.
"Suck it Insomnia!" I shouted and smiled. High fiving myself!

I brushed my teeth and ran down stairs.
"Good morning" I heard Sebastien say as I went into the living room.
"Why are you having so many phone calls all of a sudden and why are you so busy?"
I raised my eyebrow noticing that he just came from a call.
"Zidane's on the loose and I need to have you protected at all times, you don't even know how important you are-" He sighed frustratedly.
"Who's Zidane?" I asked.
A look of realization flashed across his face, as if he slipped on information I wasn't supposed to know about.
"It's fine, I don't want to know anyway".
I began walking off.
He took up the mug and was about to sip his coffee when I speedily walked towards him and dragged it out his hand, placing it on the far end of the dining table.
"Good morning" I fake smiled and left for my workout in the basement.
..........................................................

After about an hour of excersizing, I went upstairs and saw a familiar face. The same face I'd been seeing the entire weekend .

He was having a conversation with dad on the couch, they both looked really stressed out.

"You can tell me if you don't have a house you know, we'll let you stay in the guest room" I smirked as I passed them heading towards the stair case.
"You sure it's just that or do you miss me remember you had a chance to touch these babies?" He replied slapping his chest.
(The time he lifted her up at school).

A few seconds after, I heard a hard slap along with Xavier shouting "Ow!".
Which in turn gained a tiny laugh from me. You know what that meant.

I showered and decided to lay in bed. I wasn't hungry anyway, and since those two were probably still talking, I didn't want to intrude and make the whole situation awkward. I took up my phone with the idea of playing games and scrolling through Instagram, but remembering that I didn't clean my room since last time, I groaned and decided to get to work.

"Did I really let Xavier walk into my room, while it looked like this?" I blankly stated.
The dust was so much you could literally see it on the dresser.
Eww!
I saw a spider web in the top right corner of the wall and garbage beside the book stand.

I know, I know, it sounds nasty but I really wasn't in the mood to clean and when I get home from school my mental health comes first so I would usually sleep.
You must be thinking what about weekends, well honey a girl gets tired. Not that that's an excuse, anyway.

I gathered my hair, did it in a high ponytail and then made a bun.
I got the cleaning tools from the closet 2 rooms down and a dust mask.
The entire floor was made of fluffy carpet flooring so I didn't have tiles in my room.
First, I dusted the corner with the web and gathered the garbage in a bag. I tied the bag and placed it aside. I wiped, dusted and polished the dresser, closets, chester drawers, book shelves and shoe stands all by myself- which by the way took me two and a half hours.
I stretched my back and lowered the music on my phone.

"I didn't know you looked so sexy while cleaning" a voice said from the door.

"Zip it Kingsley" I hissed and turned my attention back to this stain I was trying to get off the wall.

"You look like you need some help"

"Come on then" I smirked.

"I didn't say I was going to help you though" He laughed and walked away.
"Ass" I hissed.

A few minutes later he came in and grabbed the vacuum.
I watched him and noticed that he had done his hair in a tiny bun, I admit he did look good while cleaning.
Heck!
He looked good whatever he was doing but then I noticed something.

Xavier had the same tattoo on his neck, that the guy that wanted to kill me wore.
I stopped looking at him, I began to stare.
My breathing hitched.
