The Undercover Street Fighter

Chapter 17 - Don't Try To Justify

Avery's POV

Sweet dreams, my beautiful love.

"What time is it?" I crack my eye open slowly adjusting to the light to ask Xavier for the time.

"5 pm," he shrugged. I gasped and whacked  him on the arm.

"Why didn't you wake me up?!" I asked baffled.

"You looked so peaceful, besides, I'd rather you wake up on your own terms than me waking you up and ending up dead." He looked petrified for a few seconds and I burst out laughing.

He did have a point...

"Alright, you're forgiven," I leaned down and kissed his cheek which caused him to pout.

"That's it?" He pouted.

"Yea, if you keep pouting and looking constipated, cause babe I'm not into that," I winked and blew him a kiss.

He gasped dramatically and put a hand over his heart, "You wound me."

"Oh well," I winked again and headed to the bathroom.

"You really are the devil reincarnated," he called out.

I turned around and let my eyes turn pitch black while smirking, "No babe," I paused.

"I'm worse," I laughed at his horrified expression at my comment and headed into the bathroom to do my daily routine.

After doing so, I changed into some fresh set of clothes and made my way downstairs where Xavier was waiting for me with a plate full of bacon.

"I'm going to marry the love of my life," I spoke to him while maintaining eye contact, his back tensed but his eyes held so much emotion, happiness.

I walked up to him in a sultry way and ran my finger down his chest to his well defined abs. My hand then hovered there for a second and I leaned up to kiss him and he leaned down eager to catch my lips.

But before our lips touched, I grabbed the plate full of bacon, "Ah, there you are baby. The love of my life!" I brought the plate up to my mouth and kissed it lovingly.

Xavier's mouth dropped to the ground, like the time I knocked him out. I thought to myself and chuckled.

"I'm regretting making food for you," he frowned playfully.

"Oh yeah?" I teased.

"Yeah," He smirked and folded his arms to his chest.

I hummed and nodded, "Come here," I called him over innocently with my finger and patted the seat next to me on the couch.

He raised his eyebrows in question and confusion but also caution. I shrugged my shoulders and raised both of my hands in surrender.

"Fine then," I turned my attention to the TV and ignored Xavier.

"I was joking babe," I felt Xavier's strong hands on my shoulder, I shrugged them off and paid attention to the TV.
