(ON HOLD) BEFORE I MET HIM

Chapter 15(Annoying)

Xavier POV
As I watch Ava talk with tears I felt pity - wait, pity! It's been a long time since I felt pity for someone.

I watched her closely to study if she is lying or not, but everything she said felt true. I could feel them, the way she talked innocently, the way she closed her eyes, the way those tears ran through her cheeks. I felt like hugging her but I don't want to make her feel uncomfortable.

I stood up and sat not too close to her I brought my hand closer to her hand, and I squeezed them gently.

"It's okay, Ava". I told her.

She nodded like a baby.

She let out those tears in her heart, I was confused at that moment, I don't know what to do.

Should I pat her back or pat her hair or hug her? Someone should help my stupid ass.

I watched as she cried like a baby, she placed her head on the dining table and she start consoling herself.

After some time, I watched as she clean her face with the tip of her gown. she raised her head and smiled at me.

Holy mother fucker! Her face is fucking red!

I smiled back at her.

There was silence between us as she kept her gaze on her plate, I thought of what to do to cheer her up, I don't like this quiet Ava

"I am sorry for ruining your breakfast," she said with a husky voice still staring at the plate as if she is talking to it.

"I caused it Avy, I shouldn't have asked you such a question never knew it's gonna make you cry like a baby" I whined to her demonstrating how she was crying.

She opened her mouth surprisingly, her mood changed with no facial expression. I was about to apologize and tell her I was whining to her, but the unexpected happened.

She threw the Avocado remnant at me, I dodged it. It took me by surprise but as a strong man, I dodged it.

She threw another one I dodged it and she hit her fist on the table feigning anger.

' Can you please take me back to my room?" she said between her teeth.

She has self-control because being angry and polite at once is crazy.

I looked at her with seductive eyes, " what if I don't want to take you" I said looking at her.

I am not being wicked I aim to annoy her to let her talk.

"You brought me here for breakfast, and it's over, can you be a responsible man and take me back to my room," she said almost rolling her eyes.

She is fond of this rolling of eyes, I looked at her and smiled. I think it will be good to play with her mind for once.

"What if we go to my room, then from there you can go back to your room". I said.

She stared at me as if I grew two horns within a minute.

"Now I see, you are going nuts, I will find a way myself," she said in a final tone.

She stood up and left the dining room, she took the steps down and started walking away.

I stood up and call her name when she is almost at the door.

"Yes," she said eyeing me.

"I don't know what to say, I am not good with words but everything will be fine, you will be happy again, "I told her in a tone that I was asking myself if I just talked or if my soul did the talking.

She looked at me softly, I knew she wasn't expecting that from me with the way I got on her nerves some minutes ago.

She wanted to talk but swallow back. She closed her eyes and then opened her mouth to talk.

"Thank you, but it's too late," she said in a rush, opened the door, and left the room.

I smiled.

AVA POV
Oh my, can't believe I cried like a baby. It's not my fault actually, it's worth it to cry it out.

When Xavier told me" it's okay Ava", I became more emotional and let down more tears.

I placed my head on the table and let my heart out, it's not easy to survive without a mother and a father, no sibling, no family. Just you.

It has been hard on me that words can't even express, and the fun fact is I am in another bondage now.

I hope I will be free one day to become what I wish and want to be.

I raised my head and smiled at Xavier.

He smiled at me.

I was speechless not what to say as I stared at my plate, quietly.

I decided to talk since he is not saying anything.

"I'm sorry for ruining your breakfast," I said.

He told me instead it was not my fault, I was enjoying the fact he is acting like a gentleman until he said "never knew it's gonna make you cry like a baby".

OMG!!!! I wasn't expecting it. This guy is crazy!!! Other guys will try to make you smile and feel comfortable after hearing a life story but this dude here is another case entirely.

I threw the Avocado remnant on my plate at him, he dodged it. I threw it again he dodged it. I knew it was childish and a waste of time to throw something at his fit body, he will always make me a fool out of it.

It's taking all in me to control my anger.
"Can you please take me back to my room?" I told him controlling the amount of anger brewing inside of me.

But dear Xavier asked me another question that I felt like ripping his head off from his body.

"Now, I see you are going nuts, I will find a way myself," I told him standing up.

I started walking to the door quietly, wondering if he won't say anything, but he did. I heard my name I turned back to look at him, he was on his feet already as he pocketed his hands.

He said those comforting words to me, and I melted inside of me. I haven't been told such words for ages, I needed the words he told me. I was finding it hard to talk, I didn't want to give in and also prove like a hard girl.

I took a deep breath, closed my eyes, and talk.

"Thank you, but it's too late," I said quickly and left the room.

I walked as fast as my leg could take me not knowing I have missed my way. I found myself in a blue-filled passage.

There are a lot of passages in this house and everywhere looks the same.

I was wondering if I need to open a door to take me back to the passage of my room, Or maybe this is the door, I thought within me.

I got to the front of the big door, held the two-door knob, and opened it.

Where the fuck am I?
