"Easy" I heard a masculine voice.
I looked up to see Xavier in a white t-shirt and a short, he is always good-looking in any outfit he wore.
"Good morning," I told him dropping my fork and drinking the water beside me.
"Morning, How was your night?" He asked me.
"Uhm, was fine thanks, Yours?" I asked him.
"Same here," he said walking towards me.
He got to my side and his cologne filled my nose. I feel like sniffing him.
What the hell did you just think of Ava!!!
"Back to the morning, why did you dash off as if you were being chased," He said sitting on the stool.
"Ohh, that," I said playing with the noodles on my plate.
I could feel his eyes on me, he is checking me out. I hope I am beautiful like the way Freya told me this morning.
Speaking of, where is Freya? I looked around, she is not in the kitchen. I am sure I will get kidnapped once more than with the way I put 1000% concentration and attention on food.
"She is with Addi," Xavier said as if he is in my thoughts.
"Ohh," I said.
Did he know Addi and Freya are together? Maybe he knows.
"You haven't answered my question, Miss," he said bringing me out of my thoughts.
"What question?" I asked acting innocent.
"You were in your nightgown, and dash off like that without not letting me take a look at the morning beauty," he said with a cool voice.
I was forced to look at his face. I smiled, not knowing what to say. He always leaves me speechless, and I know by now my cheeks are red already.
"By the way, you look cute this morning," he said.
Oh, I am dead, he fucking said I am cute.
I am cute!
"Thanks," giving him a shy smile.
"Hope Freya told you already?" he said resting on his elbow.
"That what?" I asked.
"The birthday party," he said.
"No, I am hearing it from you first," I said focusing my attention on his face.
I couldn't make eye contact with him as my eyes were searching around his face and moving around the kitchen.
"It's Xander's birthday, tomorrow," he said clapping.
"Ohh," I said dragging it.
"You are surprised,?" he said furrowing his eyebrows.
"Uhm No, just, maybe, I am surprised," I said showing my teeth.
"Well, that's Xander..." He said when his phone rang.
"A minute please," he said.
I nodded.
I directed my face back to my noodles, it's cold already, Wasted! At least I am a little bit full. Why won't be full, I? After receiving praise from Xavier.
I looked at him as he pocketed his hands and received the call,
📞Yeah
📞Sure
📞Amber will text you
📞Okay
He ended the call.
"Yeah! , I will take my leave now, I need to attend to something, Make sure you look beautiful tonight" he said winking at me, and left the kitchen.
It feels like my heart stopped beating, I rushed gulped down my water, as I touched my chest. It's breathing fast. The butterflies in my stomach are flying.
I wasn't expecting that! I am gonna be in my best mood throughout today.
Where the fuck is Freya!!! I need to accomplish my mission of looking beautiful Tonight.
FREYA!!!

WRITER'S POV
The happiness on Ava's face was radiating, and the energy in her body was high as she was jumping around the house calling FREYA.
She ran to barged into Freya's room and barged out, what she saw was eye-blinding.
"This two are something else," She said rolling her eyes.
"I wonder how many times they make out in a day," she said shaking her head.
She started walking back to her room as she met Xander coming towards his eyes focused on his phone.
"I think this is a perfect time," she said in a low voice.
She stopped as Xander's step keep getting closer to her, when he is almost close to her, she quickly find a word to make him stop.
"Happy birthday in advance," she said smiling widely.
"Ohh, thank you," Xander said with a big smile.
Xander is the type of person that's always big on birthdays regardless of the position he held.
"Uhm, erm...How is the Matter with erm... Luke" Ava said struggling with her words.
"Oh sweety, we are working on it, he disguises a lot that's the main issue in us finding him but this month will be the end of his game," he said in a firm tone.
"Oh, okay," she said smiling.
"Erm, I will take my leave now," she said quickly.
Xander smiled as he remembered what his brother said about her, they could have captured Luke but slowed things down in other to let Ava fall in love with his brother first.
He felt pity for Ava, about their devilish plans for her, Xavier is going to mess with her mind.
He can't wait for the real drama to start after his birthday party.

Ava POV
I lay on my bed staring at the ceiling, thinking about the light conversation I heard with Xavier.
All this felt new to me, he is the first guy telling me all this, and my mind is messed up.
Does he like me?
I don't think so, I am not his type. Do I even know?
But what about me?
Why do I feel nervous around him?
Why does my heart beat fast?
Why do I always smile anytime I remember our conversations?
Why do I always want him to be around me?
He started being sweet to me, a week ago, and everything feels exciting.
I don't know what's wrong with me, honestly.
I shouldn't be like this with him, at all.
He and his brother captured me,
Tortured me physically and emotionally.
And now, I am like this!
Maybe it's because he is the first guy that's why I am experiencing that,
I am sure that was how it feels for girls with every first guy that makes them beautiful and also like a queen.
I just hope it is so, Because, if what I am thinking is true, then I am doomed.
I can't like Xavier, it's not possible!
