(ON HOLD) BEFORE I MET HIM

Chapter 29( A plan and a suprise)

Everywhere started darkening as I stared at the sky from my room. I have been in this position since the time Xander and Xavier left.

I am in thought alone, just me and me. No other person. There are a lot of things for me to think about honestly, but I will just go easy on myself.

The novel Freya gave me, it said life today as if it's your last day. I think that will be a watchword from now on.

I checked the wall clock. It's after 7 already, Freya is supposed to be here by now.

She isn't a bastard, she came immediately after I just thought about her.

"Hi, how are you doing?" She asked me and closed the door.

"Yeah, I am fine," I told her.

"I was busy doing other things, I didn't even get to meet Addi. Xavier sent me an errand and I just have to get it done," She said.

Ohh.

"Did he come here,?" She asked me.

I nodded.

"And?," She asked.

"Well, there's nothing much we talked for a little bit, he bought me Tim Tam biscuits, "I said pointing the nylon to her.

"Aww, so sweet of him," she said smiling.
"Okay, continue," she said, sitting on her leg and waiting for me to continue.

I took a deep breath, then continued," He erm— he slept—sle—slept here also," I said.

Freya's reaction was everything, "Did I just hear you well, you mean he slept here,?" Freya asked me, wanting to be sure.

I nodded.

"Oh my God, eh, you mean the Xavier King slept here? Wow, bravo!!!," She said, smiling unbelievably.

"I am happy for you girl," she said looking at me.

I looked at her confusingly.

"That means he is comfortable with you, if he isn't comfortable he wouldn't have slept on the bed beside you, he found comfort staying with you," She said.

To be honest, I am happy to hear all this from Freya.

"Maybe he likes you," Freya said, dropping the bombshell.

Thank God I am not the only one thinking about this.

"For how long, did he sleep,"?

"Erm, I think more than 2 hours," I said.

"Woah," She shouted.

"But when I came back from the kitchen, I saw him awake with Xander beside him. He— he just left the room without not saying anything to me," I told Freya in a complaining voice.

She looked at me carefully, " Did you like him also," she asked me slowly.

And I felt tongue-tied, "Do I like him,"?

I looked at Freya playing with my fingers and feeling shy and not knowing what to say.

"Open up with me, a problem shared is a problem solved," She said.

I hesitated, at first then decided to open up, since she is also a female like me she will be able to understand me better.

"Erm, I always feel nervous around him, my heart races whenever he is with me and—and I always want him to be around him, and I always feel more comfortable whenever I am with him," I said.
"Isn't it weird, Freya? I shouldn't be like this to him," I said with a sad voice.
