I Almost Do

Chapter 6

     "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry" i said as i started to wipe off the ice cream on his shirt, he suddenly gripped my hand and moved it away from him making me close my eyes in fear that he got mad at me for ruining his shirt

I felt his grip get looser and his breath right In front of me "Relax, It's fine" he said making me open my eyes in shock, When i opened my eyes i saw his face directly in front of mine which was why i could feel his breathing near my face

     "Let's just go back to my place to change into another shirt. Come on, let's go" he said before completely letting go of my hand and start to walk to the parking lot as i silently followed behind him

We got into his car and we drove off immediately, I looked out of the window acting like i was admiring the scenery but in reality i was trying to calm my self down for two reasons, The first one was because i ruined his shirt and the second was because his face got too close to mine that I could feel his breath

     "We're here" Xavier said as the car stopped in front of a tall building, i was confused since he stopped in the middle of the street but when i got out of the car i saw him give his keys to a valet, Probably to park it somewhere

He entered the building so I quietly followed him as if i was a student following their teacher to the guidance office to get punished

We got into an elevator, i was in awe of the elevator. Usually an elevator would have plain silver or glass as it's walls but this one had black marble like walls with black tiles and a golden compass design as the center.

He clicked the close button then proceeded to click the highest floor of the building, we were just standing there with an awkward atmosphere as if you rode the elevator with the CEO of your work place

     "Hey" Xavier said while snapping his fingers in-front of me "you ok?" He asked, i looked at him and saw his worried expression "yeah, why?" I asked. He looked at me from head to tow before saying "I've been calling you for a while now since the elevator opened yet you weren't responding" he answered

     "Ahh sorry, i was.. uhm.. I was just thinking of something" i said before getting off of the elevator directly after him, There was only four doors at the top floor even though the building looked big from the outside

We started walking and stopped in front of one of the doors which he opened using a key card, he went inside so i went inside after him.

My eyes widened at the size of place, it was very spacious and fancy, Everything in here looked as if it was newly bought.

     "You can just sit here in the living room or take a look around while i change for a sec, Be right back" he said before going into one of the rooms

I sat down while admiring everything, the place had a dark and minimalist design yet it screamed expensive. As i sat there i saw a small table at the end of the big room so i stood up and took a peek

When i got closer I realized that the walls were glass while i thought they were screens, i took a glance and saw how high this floor actually was. You could see everything from here, you could see arc de triomphe, seine river and even the louvre museum.

The city looked very pretty from up here, it looked like a lego city with how beautiful and well thought out the buildings were built

     "It's Gorgeous isn't it?" A voice said from behind me "ahh!" I screamed "Ohh, sorry! I didn't mean to startle you" he quickly apologized "ahh it's fine" i said

I looked back to look at the view from the windows and saw the beautiful golden sky as the sun slowly started to set "yes, it's beautiful" i answered "Breathtakingly beautiful"

     "How many of those little buildings have you been to?" He asked "not many, I haven't been here long and i'd usually stay in my hotel" i answered

He looked at me and look at me while titling his head a bit "really? Why?" He asked, I averted my eyes and looked back at the view before answering "I.. just.. I prefer being at home"

Xavier suddenly stood in front of me, blocking the window making him look ominous with the beautiful golden light from the sunset shining behind him, it looked like he was shining

     "Do you want to go somewhere with me? Like.. the Eiffel tower perhaps?" He asked

I laughed at bit at the thought of me going out "It's late" i answered before stepping to the side when he blocked be again

     " The Eiffel tower looks better at night." He said firmly "so? Will you go with me?" He reached his hand as if he was waiting for me to place mg hand on his while having a cute smile on his face

His eyes looked cute as they got smaller the bigger his smile was, and his smile in general was also cute

     "Sure" I answered, placing my hand on his
