CHAPTER 10

Shutting my door to my bedroom after dinner, I touch my lips with my fingers and smile fondly. Wow, one minute I'm trying to avoid Xavier and the next I'm kissing him.

I walk to my bed and sit down, I think about the talk Xavier and I had although it didn't go as long as I'd hoped and I didn't get much information but I think that I learnt a lot from just the events that happened tonight. One, there was a Princess that held the power to destroy or turn off the powers of The Elementrius' Clan, that said princess was evil, second, Xavier is my balance and soul mate. That thought gave me shivers.

Third, Marcel seemed to have a bad side. Even though that surprised me, he seemed like such a nice man. And last but not least, I think that only a week and a day of knowing Xavier, I have feelings for him. I mean, how could that happen? Yes. He's my balance for my abilities, he calms me, and yes, The Legends might say that we're "soul mates" but I couldn't have feelings for him so early into knowing him. I mean, that never happens in real life. Why would it happen here?

If myths are real Sapphire then surely this can happen. Embrace it.

A voice inside my head tells me differently, telling me to stupidly embrace it. Should I take these feelings in stride? But it's so early! Why? I would actually like to get to know him before anything happens, I mean, we've already passed the awkward are-we-ready-to-kiss-yet stage. What happened to staying away from him? Avoiding him?

That voice is sometimes annoyingly correct. Should I avoid him? For some reason I connect with him on an incomprehensible level that no human being would understand. I don't even think Ruby would understand and I trust her more then anything. I groan in frustration. This is all confusing.

I stand up and slowly walk to the window seat and lean against it, grabbing my favourite book on the way. I need to get things off my mind; this book should do the trick. I settle back and leave my bedside table light on; it leaves enough light so I can read comfortably.

Halfway through reading the book, I feel someone staring at me. I place a bookmark in the book so I don't forget my place and look to my right. My heart stutters as I find Xavier gazing at me through the window, the window letting cool air in that I relish in. I grin shyly and wave, Xavier bows his head in a gentlemanly manner then winks. I laugh, my shoulders shaking. I shake my head amusedly. He's a funny cute little idiot.

I feel a yawn coming on so I wave goodbye and shut my curtains but not before seeing Xavier give me a smouldering look before I cut off the sight to both our windows. I distract myself from thinking of him as I get ready for bed, cleaning the clothes off the floor, putting my books back where they belong. As I crawl into bed I think about the events that happened again tonight. I need to finish that talk with Xavier, because we got distracted I didn't feel satisfied in knowing everything. Sometime this week I needed to know everything. And Xavier was going to give it to me.

I enter the English classroom with a smile on my face, I feel lighter then I have in years, probably because I caught a ride with Xavier on his Harley Davidson. I felt free and alive on the back of that motorcycle. Plus, I got to hold Xavier around the waist. His warmth was intoxicating. And double plus, home room was electrifying. No pun intended.

I was surprised when he showed up at my door step with two riding helmets. I had the keys to my car in my hand, when I opened the door of the house and found him about to lift his hand to knock.

"Xavier, what are you doing?" I say, confusion lacing my tone.

He smiles and holds up the extra riding helmet. "I wondered if you wanted a ride to school." He almost sounded shy. I laugh. It's so cute.
