A/n: if they're any serious mistakes in the second half of the chapter,then I'm sorry. I couldn't bring myself to read that far.

"Javier?"

"Come in." His sleepy voice says.

I enter his night light lit room. Ever since Dakota and I worked hard to put a protection spell around the house, we haven't had any attacks and Javier can sleep peacefully.

"We need to talk big guy."

"About what?" His voice is getting softer and smaller.

I inhale deeply and exhale before laying down beside him. He puts his head on my shoulder before wrapping his arms around my torso. I wrap my arms around him and bring him closer.

"I wanted to let you know that I might be leaving in a few days."

His head abruptly shoot up, "You're leaving me. Did I do anything wrong?"

"No, no ,no you didn't."

"Then why are you leaving? did Daddy do anything wrong? If he did, I'm going to be very angry with him." He sits up and looks at me. I almost laugh at his words. I have half to mind to lie and see a very angry Javier with Casper but I don't.

My heart squeezes, "I'm not leaving forever. I'm coning back in three or four days."

"You're coming back very, very soon?"

I nod and he smiles and resumes our former position, "As long as you promise you'll come back to me, you can go." He mumbles.

"You don't want to know why?" I question curiously.

"You're coming back. I don't need to know." He repeats.

"I promise I'll be back and I'll call everyday." I assure him again.

He simply nods and holds onto me tighter. Very soon he falls asleep but I don't move. I stay and think if it is actually a good idea to leave and go into unknown territory. Maybe I should ask grandma and Luna what they think or Dakota. Or all three.

I decide to see Casper so I carefully untangle myself from Javier. I kiss his forehead before leaving and walking the short distance to Casper's suite. I take a deep breath. We haven't talked since yesterday's incident and every time i try to talk to him, he leaves the room. How do I tell him that I don't really mind and I want to take things further with him.

The smell of coffee hits my nostrils as I enter the suite. I immediately know where he is. I enter the kitchen to see him shirtless and leaning on the counter top with a cup of coffee pressed to his lips. My throat goes dry at the sight of his shirtless back.

I shake my head and swallow before clear my throat. He turns around and his eyes widen when he sees me. I block the doorway making sure he doesn't have a means of escape this time.

"We need to talk." I tell him and he doesn't say anything. He just keeps on drinking his coffee. I get a little bit angry at him ignoring me.

"Why are you ignoring me Casper?" He still doesn't answer, infact, he just finishes his coffee and washes the cup before coming to stand in front of me. He tries to pass through.

"This isn't funny Casper, answer me. You can't keep running away when you get horny."

"You sound ridiculous."

"That's because this situation is ridiculous." He simply grabs my shoulders and moves me out of the way slightly before walking out of the kitchen. He takes a seat on the sofa in the sitting room and picks up the remote control.
