Hi everyone!
Hope you enjoy the chp. ♥

Eva's POV

Three days. It's been three days since Rebecca came. Three days since Xavier has been ignoring me like the plague. Once or twice I felt like he came to sleep with me. Last night, he kissed my forehead, whispering good night in my ear. In my half-asleep state, I thought it was just a dream and ignored it. But, it felt too real to be just a dream.

I sighed plopping myself on the bed. It was half past twelve and I was in my PJs waiting for Xavier to come to our room. I was going to confront him and ask him what the hell was his problem. The last three days have been hell for me. The constant glares I got from Rebecca made my blood boil. There was no doubt that she hated me. Well... the feeling was mutual.

I was nervous about confronting him. Thinking about the conversation I had with mum gave me some courage.

I dialed the landline number and waited. Mum picked the call after two rings.

"Hey mum," I spoke.

"Hi sweetie, how are you? You said you'd call me every day,"' I heard her voice from the other side.

"I am fine. I am really sorry mum. I've been training every day with our beta after school. I didn't quite find the time this past week," I sighed.

"That's alright. So how are the things between you and Xavier? Is he treating you well?" Her voice turned a tad higher with excitement.

"Ahan," I replied vaguely biting my lip.

"Eva," Mum spoke sternly.

I squinted my eyes, knowing that I had to tell her the truth.

"I don't know mum. We haven't really talked lately," I spoke truthfully.

"And why is that?"

"His childhood best friend' from South Africa came to visit and he's been spending most of his time with her," I spoke begrudgingly.

"Hey, don't worry. Mates often have such problems' when they think their other half is ignoring them. The best way to solve it is to talk. Ask him what is wrong. Okay?"

"Okay, mum. thank you," I sighed, a small smile making its way on my face.

"Bye mum"

"Bye, sweetie. Take care of yourself,"' she spoke sweetly.

I disconnected the call and sighed.

I always feel better after talking to mum. She just makes everything seem so easy. She turns the most complicated situation into the most uncomplicated one. And, I love her so much.

Hearing the door open, I snapped out of my thoughts. I straightened my clothes and looked towards the door. Xavier entered the room looking down at his phone. He closed the door behind him and turned around. He looked up from his phone and suddenly froze.

"Uh... hi," I said awkwardly.

"You are awake," he stated, walking towards the night stand and placing his phone on it. He rolled the sleeves of his black button-up up to his elbows. I turned my head away so I wouldn't get distracted and start ogling at him.

"I wanted to talk to you," I replied.

He looked at me quizzically.

"About?" He asked walking towards the closet.

"About us," I said.

He stopped dead in his tracks and his back went rigid. A moment later, he again started walking towards the closet and went inside it.
