The next day, I stayed in my room, quietly as I was just singing different songs, shouting, screaming doing all sorts of things that I want to do. I didn't care if I was disturbing them or not.
I don't give a damn!
Freya came to give me my food, we didn't talk throughout the three times she came. I maintained my lane and she did also, and for Xavier, it's not his fault.
Rubbish!
I wish I could kill off them, dirty scumbags.
My day was a normal day, like every other day, till nightfall and I sat inside my room alone.
I went into my Dreamland.

The next day came quickly and the day was bright.
I sat down in my bed quietly, waiting for my breakfast. I checked the time it's 8, What's wrong with Freya? Why is she not here? Or I am not eating today?
I lay down on my bed not wanting to go out, I promised myself I won't pass my boundary or do things that will make me sad, I will make myself happy.
I saw my mom in my dreams today smiling at me, it relieved me and I decided to stay live and stay happy because of her.
I heard a knock on my door.
"Come in" expecting to see Freya.
Instead, it was one of the Xander boys that came inside.
"Ma'am, you are called by the big boss," he said respectfully.
Okay, first who is ma'am and who is big boss, and why the hell is he bowing his head slightly, I thought to myself.
"If I may ask, who is the big boss?"
"You will see for yourself when you follow me, ma'am," he said politely again.
I looked at him discreetly, I know I can't be kidnapped in this house. It's either Xavier or Xander that's the big boss.
Okay a minute, I wore my flip-flop slippers and told him to lead the way.
We passed the dim passage, "this place is always dim" I was expecting him to take the left direction to the kitchen but he took the right direction. He got to a door, opened it, and I was awed.
The floor was covered in a red rug, and it has a cool feeling, it was like a passage there was nothing much there.
He opened a brown big door, and I covered my mouth.
"Is this place a palace?" I asked him when I couldn't take it again.
He chuckled, "we are here ma'am" he left.
"Hold on, who am I supposed to meet, don't tell me I will stay here looking like a bimbo?." I asked him
"No ma'am" he left quickly.
I heard another chuckle then looked to my left to see Xavier coming down to me.
This guy is handsome, yet arrogant. Gosh, He is perfect.
"Hi, Ava," The way my name flew out of his mouth in a soft way sent chills to my body, and his eyes. I don't understand what is happening, but he seems different, his aura felt calm and not that dangerous aura he does carry around.
He broke the silence seeing I am not replying, " I called you here, Freya is ill, so I called one of the boys to cook then bring it here for us to eat"
Wait, did I just hear him correctly? Did he just say "us"? Wow, Ava, you are still dreaming, yea you are still dreaming. I said assuring myself.
I shook when he said "May I,? bringing out his hand for me to take it, in a gentleman form.
I need to lose this tongue-tied in my mouth,
"Mhm, I...I am fine, You should lead the way"
Okay then, he lead the way, and we sat down at the dining table, I looked at the table. I don't want to say anything as I kept quiet wondering what he is up to.
I thought loudly, "Is this a feast?"
"No, AVY it's our breakfast". He replied me
Okay, this guy is Killing me, did I just hear him call me Avy? I need to digest all this. If this is a dream then I don't wanna wake up.
Where is the brave Avy? I asked myself.
Okay, Xavier what's the occasion? You being nice and all, isn't it weird?
"Ohh yeah, I knew you are gonna ask that," he said dishing out my food, he didn't even ask what I was going to eat, I looked at him doing his thing.
"I wanted to apologize for my wrongdoings to you, I am a sweet guy, it's just my mood. I knew you are going through a lot with you being here, I shouldn't add to your pains but make you happy and relieved." He said in a silvery voice.
Ohh, did that just come out from the almighty Xavier? This is crazy, I thought laughing.
He looked at me raising his eyebrow,
" Oh nothing," I told him
"Okay then, Bon appetite, miss"
I looked at my plate it was avocado on toast with scrambled eggs and sautèd mushrooms.
"Thank you" I blessed my food and started eating.
I looked up and saw him taking green tea.
"You take green tea?" I asked him
"Who does not, it is healthy, wanna have some?"
"Yes", I said
He poured it into a teacup, "Enjoy"
I smiled and sip the green tea,
"one of your boys made this also," I asked him dropping the teacup on the table.
He nodded,
"I will like to meet him and compliment him on his good cook," I told him slowly.
"Yeah", he said and looked at me with a side-eye as he sips his tea.
Why do I feel he is lying?
***
We ate our food in silence. I was almost done with my food when he called me.
"Ava" he called
"Yeah"
" Tell me more about yourself"
"Ohh, there is nothing much about me though, "I said
"There are, I want to know you," he said with a smoky voice that sent chills down my spine.
