Ariana:

After completion of all tasks for today i winded up for today, and reached home.

I was so tired after reaching my home i fell  on bed god i badly want to sleep however i need to shower i thought and quickly ran to shower and came back changing into my night wear.

While applying night cream to my body, I heard a sound coming from downstairs. Glancing at the clock, I wondered, "Is that Xavier?" Curiosity piqued, I considered what he might be doing downstairs.

As another sound echoed, I decided to go and check. I went downstairs to find out what was happening.

Descending the stairs, I found Xavier engrossed in some papers, appearing a bit disturbed. I hesitated, contemplating if I should have come down. 

Thinking of turning back, he surprised me by asking, "Why are you standing there?" Stunned, I turned around to face him. He stood tall, one hand in his pocket, the other holding a glass of whisky.

He continued to gaze at me, waiting for my response. Softly, I replied, "I heard some sound and thought to check what it was." As I spoke, I noticed he was busy looking me up and down i gulped down.

He slowly approached me and stood there, observing. Confused about his behavior, I wondered why he was looking at me like that.

 Usually, he insisted on straightforward communication well yeah at least one sided communication . I nervously bit my lip, and as I looked up, he focused his intense gaze on my lips.

 Gently, he raised his hands, tucking a strand of hair behind my ear. I gasped loudly, shocked by the unexpected gesture.

Seemingly snapping out of a trance, he moved back abruptly, saying, "Nothing important. You can go back and sleep."

 I continued to gaze at him, still bewildered. A faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, making him look remarkably handsome.

I couldn't help but blush ,as In a swift motion, he instinctively closed my gaping mouth with his firm hand, snapping me out of my shock-induced stupor, his gesture leaving me feeling embarrassed and bashful. Repeating, "Go, sleep," he nodded towards the stairs. I whispered a shy "Goodnight," not expecting about his reply. However, as I reached the last step, I heard him say, "Night."

Blushing profusely, I entered my room, smiling ear to ear. Trying not to think too much about what just happened, I crawled into bed, and sleep came instantly.

Xavier:

Damn, she is so innocent and beautiful, I thought, smilingly observing her blushing profusely. I couldn't understand what was happening; maybe I was trying to understand her. In this short time, she managed to shift my perspective about her.
