Ezra POV

"We've been practicing for weeks, and I've gotten better, Xavier"I complained. She handed me a knife. "You think you, ready mamas? Then stab me" She said smirking.

"Fight first or-"She popped me in the face. "Don't ask just do"She spat and I just about had it. I started at her holding the knife swinging it at her and just as I was about to gut her she dodge me and hit me in the face. That's it. I caught her off guard and pinned her down, I plunged the knife into her side and she didn't even flinch or whine and moan.

Once I saw her blood flowing freely from her body I panicked trying to fix it and she gripped my hand and pushed it away. She stood up and walked to the first aid kit. "Kill me next time" She demanded. I looked at her in disbelief and shook my head no. "You kill me. You care about me which will make this hard for you, If you kill me then you will be ready" She shrugged.

I stood up and walked over to her with the most confidence. "I don't care about you Xavier "

"Then stab me again," She furrowed her brows testing me. I looked in her eyes to scan them, see if she was serious. She was.

I took the knife and pressed it into her chest. I kept the eye contact. Then I looked away. You don't care Ezra. Shake it off.

"Nah look at me in my eyes, cowards avert their eyes are you a coward?" She asked with no emotion in her voice.

I looked at her longer just taking in her features stalling because I don't want to do this. "I can't " I dropped the knife and on instinct I gave her a hug.

She didn't hug me back, I figured she wouldn't she doesn't like hugging it's unnecessary she says. But she lets me hug her.

"I knew you couldn't do it" I could hear a smile on her voice but when I looked up to see she quickly changed her face.

It got quiet and she wrapped her arms around me. " I thought you didn't -"

"Shut up, the only time this will ever happen." She chuckled lightly.

Just as the embrace started she pulled away. She backed up a few paces. She turned around and opened the door.

"Hey bud, I knew you were standing out there" Xavier said to Aida.

I instantly got happier when I saw my babies beautiful face. I walked over to her quickly and kissed her with a force. " Why'd you do that, Xavier is right there" Aida laughed

" well, I missed my girlfriend and we barely do that anymore" I poked her sides.

"Well, I uhm I'm done here. It was nice spending time with you Ezra. I hope to see you sometime soon under different circumstances hopefully not through Angel and Zaya." She held a stone cold face but the look in her eyes was malignant and filled with grief.

She looked towards Aida. "Aida"

"Xavier" Aida spat back.

"Good day to you both" She said tight lipped.

Xavier POV

"Why'd you make me do that, Angel! Do you hate me that much?" I towered over her with tears brimming in my eyes.

"Well, you started caring about Ezra I had to Xavier" Angel sighed holding my hand.

"You want me to not care!!! Because if I didn't you knew that training would've killed her!!!" I cried.

" And I wouldn't want that sweetheart " She had motherly persona when it came to me and I hated it.

"Stop that Angel. Stop pretending to care when you don't. Go fuck your sister like you've been doing for years. Leave me alone. I'm staying to train Ezra, she's not ready" I said

I saw a painful expression in her eyes. Like I'd just hurt her on a whole new level. She had tears brimming her eyes.

"I love you, but I can't love you like that. Don't ever speak on me  and Zaya like that ever again!" She stomped her foot and started off but I grabbed her by the arm and held a firm grip onto her arm, I jerked her towards me.

"If you ever talk down to me like second-rate human being again I will rip your spleen out of your ass Angel, remember I'm the only one not scared of the 'twins'"I spat, she bounced back lightly as I stepped to her.

"Is there a problem here?"I heard Zaya's voice boom throughout the foyer.

I smirked at Angel and averted my attention to Zaya. "Nah, there isn't actually, I was just telling your old lady here to leave me the fuck alone. Oh, and to stay out of my and Ezra's business when it is nothing but professional."I spat and Zaya looked at Angel and licked the inside of her cheek as if she was getting angry.

"fine, Angel stay of Xaviers way. Point. Blank. Period. I do not and will not see you two within the same vicinity. If you two are to be in this big ass house it will be separate." Her voice echoed as if her word was the law.

"And who do you-owww" Angel cried and I rose up quickly to my feet to see blood.

"You like shedding blood so do I. I'm so sick of seeing you and this thing Xavier. This will be the end of me if I ever see you to intimate like that again. That's right I witnessed and heard the entire conversation!" She walked over to Angel and scooped her up.

"I don't want you to breath when she steps a foot in your presence period my nigga. You better stand at attention and don't look at my girl ever again." She stalked towards me entering my personal space.

"Tired of this shit" She mumbled turning on her heal with Angel in her arms.

Unknown POV

I'm a lot closer than they think, I'm after only Ezra and to get to Ezra you get to Aida.

"Get your ass back here!!!! The fashion show is next week, we need to get you in this suit man" Aida yelled.

Thank god she ain't got that much time left.

"I'm coming boss" I winked and stalked my way towards her.

Might have to get a ride out of her before she dies, she is fine.
