(ON HOLD) BEFORE I MET HIM

Chapter 28(Suprised)

*
I eyed him slowly, as I eat my biscuits quietly.

"So you have switched from rolling your eyes to eyeing me, huh? "What other things do you do now huh,? He said moving closer to me.

"Maybe you should find out yourself," I said.

"Maybe I will then," he said as he moved closer to me...

We are so close that our clothes are touching each other, he leaned his head to my face as he stared at my lips then at my eyes, and back to my lips, he waited not doing anything.

My heart is beating like a drum sound used to summon masquerade, I am sure he will be hearing the way my heart is beating.

I swallowed hard and closed my eyes as it gets more intense and hot.

Then I felt his hand coming closer and picked something besides my lips, and he withdrew back as if nothing special happened.

I took a deep breath and swallowed hard again.

"A big girl shouldn't be eating like a baby," he said showing me the biscuits he took.

I was still dumbfounded as I was not able to gather myself up.

"Enjoy your biscuits, I want to have a quick nap," He said looking at me with soft eyes.

He stood up and off his shirt, it was only his white singlet and his body, I don't even know.

This is the first time I will be seeing a man's chest. His body is so beautiful and perfectly built, his broad chest made the singlet to be perfectly fitted.

I looked at him as I swallowed hard, he lay beside me and faced the other side.

My eyes were never leaving his till he slept beside me. I looked at his back for some time then I stupidly smiled.

He slept on my bed beside me comfortably,?
Does he like me?
Or is it me that likes him?
What if this is how he treats other ladies?

I am confused at this point as I slowly brought my biscuits to my mouth, chewing on them slowly and quietly.

Everywhere feels hot, I stood up and went to the window side. I opened it carefully not wanting to disturb Xavier's sleep.

I tiptoed to the other side of the bed to watch if he is already sleeping.
Even in his sleep, he is still handsome, I bent down as I placed my hands on my knees and watched him quietly.

He slept like a baby that doesn't have any worries and his lips were slightly parted making it cuter.

I was smiling to myself and tempted to touch his face but I held back, I don't want to.

"Xavier, what are you doing to me,?" I asked myself.
"Is this what people call greenlight from the person that likes you,?"
"Why are you so suddenly nice to me,"?
"Everything you do always amuse me,"?
"Why do I always want you to be with me,"?.

I am sad, this is the first time I will be having such feelings for a guy and I am scared and anxious also.

I don't know what Xavier is up to, and I shouldn't be like this to him. I will soon leave once Luke is captured. I will forget everything and start living that life. I will count this part of my life as the life I lived with my stepmothers, meaning I won't remember them again as I will face the future. I want to know what fate is for me. I mustn't lose focus.

I stood up and started saying quietly punching the air, " I must not like Xavier" I said till I was tired and retired to bed.

***
I woke up before Xavier around 5, I think I slept off around 3, so he has been sleeping for two hours. He must have been so tired of him to sleep.

Maybe he didn't sleep at the midnight, I thought I looked at him carefully and then, got down from the bed. I was feeling thirsty so I opened the door quietly and then went to the kitchen.

I stylishly opened the door as I turned into a drama queen, I was picturing myself as being Xavier's girlfriend then I will feel like I own everything in this world.

I took the glass cup then pour myself water, I was drinking my water slowly when I felt someone staring at me. I was so scared and I looked to my left there was no one then I looked to my right, then I saw a figure dressed in black, I didn't get to see him clearly as the figure disappeared quickly.

I was shocked. What was that? My throat ran dry, maybe he is one of the guards sent by Xavier and Xander to monitor me whenever I am alone or I don't even know.

I am having a bad feeling but I can't possibly get hurt here, except by Xander and Xavier,  So what's happening?

I quickly left the kitchen, I walked quickly like I was being chased to my room.

I opened the door to meet wonders waiting for me to come; Xavier is awake already with Xander on the bed beside him.

I looked at them nervously, it feels like I am the one in their room, with the way they sat comfortably on my bed. They have both been to my room before but this feels different.

"Come inside," Xander said.

Ohh, yeah.

"Mmh," I closed my eyes as I could feel Xavier's eyes on me.

I sat on the tip of the bed far from the both of them, I looked around my room and I realized there is no chair there.

"I was looking for him and his number was unreachable, I met Freya outside and I asked her where he is, she told me it's likely he will be in your room," Xander said softly.

"Hmm, yeah," I said.

Why is Xavier quiet?

"It is really surprising, to see my brother sleeping in on a lady's bed," Xander said clapping his hands.

"Hey Mate, did she drug you?" Xander asked a quiet Xavier.

I quickly replied, "No, I didn't do anything," I said, defending myself.

Maybe that's why that unknown was staring at me to see if I hid a drug inside my clothes, I think that is it.

Surprisingly, Xavier stood up, took his phone wore his palm, and left the room without not saying a word.

"Did I offend him again," I said whispering to myself?

He didn't even spare a glance at me or anything, he just left like that. I looked at Xander as I gave him a nervous smile.

"See you at the party," He said and left the room.

He is up with his attitude again. Maybe Freya is right about what she said about him, because what the hell did I do to receive that silent treatment from him?
