Three days. Three days have passed.  Alessandro will be here at eight, and I don't know how I'm going to pull this off. Xavier will barley let me out of his sight long enough to shower let alone leave for hours. What am I going to do?

"Emilie!" Xavier yelled once again I was gone too long.

"Xavier I'm fine. I'm outside in the garden!" I called back.

He came up to where I was, and put his arms around my waist. He shoved his nose into my neck to comfort himself.

"Emilie you can't just disappear." He mumbled.

"Xavier I need to tell you something." I said.

"What is it?" He questioned.

"I uh. I'm going to a friends house tonight." I quickly lied.

"No." Xavier said simply.

"No? What do you mean no?" I said quickly turning towards him.

"I told you I would be possessive." He said as if it were an excuse.

"Xavier I know, but I need some time with my friends."

"What kind of friend is it?" He asked.

I started thinking of a random girl, so if he read my thoughts he would be fooled.

"A girl." I smiled.

"Maybe if I were persuaded." He smiled a sneaky smile.

I rolled my eyes, and kissed him deeply. I felt him smile against my lips and sparks flew everywhere. Finally I broke away.

"You can go." Xavier smiled.

"Ok it's a sleepover so.." I trailed off.

"That's fine just answer my texts and calls." He kissed my temple.

I kissed him again in gratitude, and he kissed back gladly. I went to another house that I own, and got ready for our date. Eight o'clock finally rolled around, and I was at my "house" waiting for Alessandro. He rang the doorbell, and I opened the door. Before me was a picture of perfection. He was wearing a black tuxedo and his hair looked like Leonardo Dicaprio's. I wanted to melt, but I had to play this game to the best of my ability.

"Emilie you look stunning." He smiled offering me a hand.

"You don't look too bad yourself." I said as we walked to his car.

On the way there we made small talk of what's been happening in our lives. I left out the parts that involved Xavier. Finally we drove up to the fanciest restaurant in the country. Cuisine was it's name, and only rich people dined here because of the fine foods. We were sat in a booth, and our drinks orders were quickly taken. As we waited Alessandro and I talked, but then I smelled a scent to be precise it was Xavier's scent. I stiffened and prayed he wouldn't sit near us. With my luck he sat in the both directly behind ours.

"What's wrong?" Alessandro asked seeing my distress.

I shook my head, and then a familiar face walked by our table. Summer looked taken back when she saw me. I knew she would tell Xavier, so I went to the bathroom in hopes to catch her.

"Summer!" I shouted as I walked in.

She whipped around to face me with a look of disapproval.

"Emilie what are you doing here? With a guy?" She said.

"He's a friend." I lied.

"You and I both know that's a lie."

"Ok fine. His name is Alessandro." With that I proceeded to tell her the whole story.

"I'm telling Xavier." She tried to leave, but I stopped her with my powers.

"You can't if he finds out then my whole reason for doing this goes down the drain. Trust me." I waited on her reply.

She thought for awhile then sighed.

"Alright, but if it gets out of hand I'm telling him. He already is getting antsy because he can smell your scent. He thinks it's him going crazy because this is the first you two have been apart since..."

"I'll get Alessandro to leave quicker than he wants to." I said.

"Alright. Emilie think wise about all of this." She walked out.

I walked back to Alessandro, and our food and drinks were there. I changed my voice a little to where Xavier wouldn't get suspicious.

"You ordered for me?" I questioned.

"I know what you like so yes." He chuckled.

We ate in silence then I rushed the waiter to bring our check. Alessandro took this as eagerness to be alone when I really just needed to get out of Xavier's range.

"Summer I feel like she's here." I heard Xavier say.

"It's just you and your possessiveness." Summer laughed.

We left and Alessandro took me to a hotel, and checked us in. He led me to the elevator, and then I saw Xavier walking in. I turned and pressed the button a million times. I listened to Xavier say why he was in a hotel as we waited.

"You look pretty down." The person at the desk said.

"My girlfriend is at her friend's house, and it's the first time since we got together I've slept alone. I don't wanna sleep in that bed without her next to me." Xavier said.

I wanted to run to him, and tell him I was here. Then the elevator dinged for us to go in, and I bolted in. Alessandro leisurely walked in, and right behind him was Xavier. I changed my scent quickly, and pulled my signature fedora out of my bag and low on my face. The ride to our floor was silent, and again with my luck he was on the same floor. Xavier got out first then us. We walked into our room, and I let out a sigh of relief. I changed into my most comfortable pair of pajamas.

"Emilie you were quite eager to be alone." Alessandro said as his arms snaked around my waist.

"You didn't seem to protest." I said as I blocked my thoughts from Xavier.

"I never will." Alessandro said as he started to kiss behind my ear.

This made me have to concentrate harder on blocking my thoughts. Alessandro started to travel his kisses further down. He was getting close to where my mark was, so I turned around and kissed him on the lips. He picked me up, and traveled to the bed. He laid me down never breaking the kiss.

"Emilie." He said as we broke apart.

"Alessandro?" I questioned.

"I love you. I still do." He kissed my cheek.

He started to kiss and nip at my ear. This was his way of making me give in. I lost all concentration as he kissed just behind my ear.

I tried. He's so tempting though. I thought.

Alessandro pulled my pajama shirt over my head leaving me in a tank top. He froze when he saw my mark, and his eyes turned black. At the same time our door burst open to a very angry Xavier. He looked between Alessandro and I. Finally he gritted out.

"What. Are. You. Doing." 

"Get out of here." Alessandro snarled.  

Xavier growled.

"She is my mate you scum."

"You marked her?" Alessandro was way past angry.

"Yes she's mine." With that Alessandro jumped at him.

The two clashed mid-air, and broke straight through the wall on the other side. I quickly followed, and broke them apart before Xavier did something he would regret. They were both snarling at each other, and I looked between the two.

"Emilie explain." They both growled.

I froze what was I supposed to say?
