Did I just hear Xavier talk? I looked at Freya,she has composed herself as she focused on what she is doing.
I looked back at Xavier, then he was still giving me this sweet and seductive look.
"Are you referring to me?" I asked him slowly.
"Yes babe" he said.
The spoon Freya was holding fell down and I looked at her I am sure she was taken back by his words.
"Ohh" I said still shock and speechless.
"Wanna have a little stroll" he asked me.
Did he just ask me for a walk.
I looked at him then at Freya as if asking permission from her.
"Huh" his voice brought me back to reality.
"Ohh...uhh..yes walk, fine!" I said, laughing nervously.
"Okay, shall we?" he asked me.
I waited a little bit trying to catch my breath and keep myself calm, then I cleared my throat.
"Yes, we shall" I said.
"Freya,I want to go for a walk"I told her in a voice that feels I am informing her but deep down I am actually asking for a permission if I could go, Maybe there can be any insights from her telling me not to go.
"Ohoh, enjoy!, " Was her reply.
I don't have no option than to follow this Maniac.
He led the way out of the kitchen, and we started walking down the hallway. We walked side by side in silence.
It scares me the more as a lot of thoughts is running through my head,it is weird of him being like this. I know he was kind of different some days ago but him calling me babe, baby really took me off.
We got to the living room and this is place is majestically beautiful. I haven't been in the living room ever since I have been here as my movement is from my room to the kitchen.
The interior decorations,were white as majestic chair were present in the room. The lion statue beside one of the sofa made me remember the portrait drawing I saw some weeks ago, is like they have a thing for lion.
This place cost fortunes,I am sure a chair in this place will worth a billion dollars. This people are wealthy.
My eyes landed at the big screen television on the wall, it's been long I have watched a television as I do not even have the time to do when I was still at home.
Speaking of home, I miss my home,my room then how my stepmother is fairing. I did not care about her but I wish to know what she is up to.
"Are you done scanning?" He asked me in a deep voice with his eyes looking at my eyes as if there's something there.
"Yeah" I smiled.
"I have been calling Ava,you weren't answering,I thought you've done a change of name" he said with a little laugh.
"Just in my thoughts" I told him with a smile.
I do not want to spoil this moment as I did not want to receive any harsh words from him or him annoying me.
I should give him the same energy.
"Oh,I hope it's a good one" he said walking down to the door.
"Or is it about how you are going to pieces me into 7 parts in 7seconds" he said looking back at me.
I stared at him " I wish I could" I told him.
Oh, shit what if he takes the word up with me. He is really sensitive,I keep forgetting this.
"Thank God it's a wish, if not maybe I would have turn into someone's beef" he said with sarcasm.
"Ohoh," I smiled.
This is amazing, Xavier isn't worked up? Oh, I am liking this new Xavier.
"Let's see nature together" he said opening the door.
"Okay,"I smiled.
I walked to where he is and we stepped outside.
For a minute it feels like the world stopped. The breeze that blew at that moment was a calm one that blew my hair and my skin.
It feels like I just stepped out of the prison cell since ages, I have forgotten how this always calm me down anytime my step mother annoys me. I love the breeze as well as I love dancing in my own world.
I looked at around, it feels like I am free from a bondage, I am happy. I looked at Xavier with smiles. He stretched his hand towards me and I took it happily.
We walked down the compound, and for a moment I forgot about my worries.
***
This place feels like a whole town, big and spacious. Their were a lot guards surrounding everywhere as we walk down the compound.
There's no a way I could escape, even if I wanted to before I even step out, the guards inside will send me back to the room I am coming from.
So, this place is what they call mansion,I thought within me.
"Yes babe," I looked at Ava as he kept his gaze at the front
"Huh?" I asked feeling confused about why he said yes, babe, was he talking to me?
"Were you talking to me"I asked him.
He looked at me with his head down confused,of course he is tall and bigger than me, and me I am just this little petite girl.
"I don't get you" he said
You said "yes babe" I told him.
He looked at me, "You said so this is what they call mansion" he said slowly.
"Ohh, I didn't know my thoughts was loud" I said feeling embrassed.
"It's like you are going to add me inside your thoughts,so we can be thoughting the thoughts together" he said.
I ended up laughing hard, I can't believe he said that.
"You are funny"I told him.
"I can be a comedian for you, babe"
Woah!
"Okay, Xavier this sudden change, you have been keeping my mouth opened with your way this days".I said.
" Really? Then I should keep the ball rolling, darling" he said smiling.
And all I could do is just too open my mouth watching this handsome guy and his words keeping my mouth unclosed.
Xavier is a case!
