CHELSEA
I was getting ready to leave and was putting Xavier's jacket back in the closet.
"You can keep it." Xavier said coming up behind me.
"I shouldn't its yours." I said trying to hand him his jacket. He took it from my hands and unzipped it. He wrapped the jacket around me and zipped it back up.
"You look a lot better in it then I do." He said.
"Fine I'll keep it thanks." I said. I started walking downstairs to the door when Xavier grabbed my wrist. Our fingers brushed and we looked deep into each other's eyes. He quickly pulled his hand away.
"Ooooooo." I heard Riley behind us. I turned around to see everybody standing behind us.
"I have to go." I said before almost running out of the house.
"Hey I'll drive you home." Xavier said grabbing his car keys.
"Thanks." I said. When we got to the garage he asked which car I wanted to take.
"Mercedes." I said. It was black and extremely stunning. He opened my door for me and I got in. He quickly got in the car and pulled out of the driveway.
"So where do you live?" He asked. I told him the address. "Are you hungry?"
"Um not really." I lied. Which I guess he could see.
"Why you lying to me?" I asked.
"Okay I am." I said.
"Ok I know exactly where to go." He said.
15 minutes later we pulled up to Ruby Tuesday. He got out of the car and I followed behind him. We walked into the restaurant and sat down.
"How did you know this was my favorite restaurant?" I asked.
"You seemed like a mac&cheese girl." Xavier said.
"Well I am." I said.
"Well what are your favorite mac & cheese restaurant?" He asked.
"Here and Panera." I said. He chuckled and smiled. He looked so cute. I blushed at his words which made him smile even more.
XAVIER
Our food finally came and Chelsea smiled. I felt her foot lightly brush up against my leg.
"I'm sorry." She apologized.
"Oh you trying to make me nervous?" I asked taking a bite of my burger.
"No I just..." she started but trailed off. "Please don't be mad I promise I won't do it again."
I looked at her face and it held nothing but fear. It hurt that she was scared of me.
"Calm down I'm not mad its okay." I said. I say her calm down a little bit but I knew she was still scared.

I opened the car door and Chelsea got in. I got into my side and closed the door. I turned to look at Chelsea she looked kind of scared. I moved my hand to put it on her cheek. She flinched away from me. I fully put my hand on her cheek and rubbed it calming her.
"I would never hit you." I said. She leaned into my touch. She pulled my hand away from her face and kissed it.
"Thank you." She said. My heart was pounding so hard I thought I was going to die.
"You don't have to go back if you don't want to." I said.
"I do." She said I could tell she was lying, but I wasn't gonna fight with her about it.
"Okay." I said.

We pulled up to a small condo.
"Here?" I asked.
"Yep this us where I live." Chelsea said.
"Cool." I said. I kissed her cheek before she blushed deeply. I could feel my stomach doing back flips. I loved seeing her smile. It almost felt like she was my life source.
"Bye." She said.
"Bye." I said back. I watched her walk through the door before she walked away. It made me a little sad that she was leaving. It was for my own good though. I do not fall in love!
