Love Or lust?

CHAPTER FIFTEEN

"Games?" I ask, twirling my hair. I do that alot when I am nervous.

"Yes, games." Karen replies and then turns towards Xavier, his head is up, and he's staring questioningly at 'dark eyes'.

"Derrick what game are you talking about?"he asks,still staring at him.
Oh. So. That's his name.

"We were going to play truth or dare with Amelia, but Athena is also here,we might as well include her"he says, casually pointing at Amelia and I.
Xavier turns to stare at me and then at Amelia, his gaze lingering on her. He shrugs and then gets up, flexing his muscles.

"It's usually more interesting when both sexes are playing, I am up for it" he says and excuses him self.

"Right. Athena you good?" Karen asks.
Well. Haven't i been the one complaining of things in the house being routinous? This could be my chance to have fun. What could possibly go wrong?.

I nod and he smiles.
"Let's all make a slight circle" Karen says, picking up a stray blanket on the floor and tossing it away. Amelia and Derrick climbs down from the up bunk, just then the door opens and Xavier steps in,his eyes roaming around the room until it restes on Amelia, before he looks away. I think he likes her.

I sit close to Karen, and Amelia sits opposite me, Derrick sits slightly close to her.
Xavier is staring strangly at us.

"You guys are having the game on the floor?"

"Yes"Karen replies.

"What happened to sitting on proper chairs?"

"This makes it more dramatic and that's what we need for the game" Derrick shrugs and replies.

"And it doesn't produce the same effect on chairs?" He asks with a sneer on his face.

"Cut it out, and are you playing or not?" Karen seems annoyed.

He scoffs and goes close to the walls,he sits on the far side of the wall.
"Let's begin. So whatever questions are asked are to be answered sincerely, and you are not allowed to ignore a question, no matter how uncomfortable it makes you" Karen concludes and Xavier scoffs.Again. why was he being a dick?

"So I'll go first, clearly we don't have enough girls to match up the rhythm we are taking,so the questions would be rotated randomly. Do you all understand?". We nod, except Xavier of course, and he proceeds." My first question goes to Amelia, what do you do in your free time?"

"Well, i listen to songs"she replies, staring at the wall. She is nervous, which is weird because Amelia never gets nervous. Karen nods at her reply and turns towards Xavier"your turn" he says.

Xavier looks around and then his eyes settles on me,he has a blank expression on.

"What's your favourite colour? He asks and then turns away, he didn't seem interested in my answer.

"Purple" I say quietly and he nods. Karen gestures with his head to Amelia, signalling that it's her turn. Her gaze drops on Xavier's face, and she smiles.

"What's your type of girl?" She asks and a collective gasp resounds in the room. We are all surprised by her question. Xavier looks unbothered.
He stares thoughtfully at her face and then he turns to stare at me, he doesn't even linger on my face. Clearly i am not his type.

"I'm afraid I don't have any" he says with a wide grin, his gaze going over Amelia once more. I am sure he likes her.
