XAVIER'S PRECIOUS ✔ {Editing In Process}

Feeling her

Chapter 11 - Feeling her

"Can you not walk faster," he spoke clearly irritated at my speed. Apparently I was trailing behind as my strides were no match for his so I had to power walk to try and keep up.

"Excuse me? I am walking as fast as I can! I am trying here, would it kill you possibly to slow down a bit?" I protested without thinking but then regretted my outburst and I looked down in the hopes that he wold not comment.

"Oh, I am so sorry," I said, apologising in a smaller voice than I would have liked to have portrayed but there we go again with m voice deceiving me. I looked up to see his features had softened and I paused for a second in shock because in his eyes there was a look of regret and wait for it - sympathy.

"No, I am sorry. Here is your cabin," he replied with a touch of emotion. Wow, the ice king really does have feelings.

I am annoyed because I cannot not keep track of his emotions. Every minute it was a new one to deal with or contend with and it is like a never ending battle. I had to be cautious every minute and on edge. However, I was absolutely thrilled inside that there was actually a caring and slightly softer Xavier that does hide within him. It just does not rear its head very often. He moved towards his cabin and opened the door, holding it open for me to walk through. I was gobsmacked and managed a small 'thank you', whilst thinking who the heck had just replaced that man outside commanding me to walk faster in heels to keep up with his long strides.

The interior of the cabin blows my mind. The white and cleanliness of the office accentuated by black features suck as the black sofa, filing cabinets and of course the chair. It was not oppressive, there was a large window down to the floor on one side which let plenty of light into the room and the room looked so professional. But then, did I expect any less from Xavier. There was a large round desk in the middle of the office which pens, files and a computer placed on top, unique but ready to be used immediately. I felt the need to pinch myself to see whether it was a dream, obviously not. I completely forgot that Xavier was standing next to me, I was in my dream world.

"Would you stop staring and actually move into the room. I do not have all day scheduled to babysit up whilst you stare at a stupid room. Unlike you, I have important work, flies to sort out and meetings to attend," Xavier snapped harshly and I instantly closed my eyes. He really knows how to upset someone and chose the phrases that will hurt someone the most. I brush it off, I do not want his hurtful words to tamper with my good mood especially when it was starting to falter, along with my confidence.

"Is this my office space? I mean really, this?" I said like I was a kid in a campy store who could not stop smiling and voicing her excitement. I think that blew him away a bit and confused him because he just looked at me in awe.

"Yeah," he replied. "It is." The he looked like he remembered something, probably reminding himself that he hates me and his whole behaviour and body language changed again.

"I mean, I know. Not even in your dreams could you afford this cabin for a day, let alone work in it." He mocked me,crossing his arms.

Excuse yourself Xavier Manhattan. Disgusting bastard.

"I may be poorer than you. Significantly poorer than you and I am very well aware of that but who one Earth are you to insult me like that. You have no right. Who do you think you are? You may be much but even yo started from the bottom." I said seething. I found myself in front of him, hopefully invading his personal space and my finger jabbed into his chest with every word.

How dare he say that to me. I was prepared to brush off his comments in order to fit in but damn that statement was low. Even for him. I felt sick. Is that what he thought of me, some peasant who was beneath him? I had felt like that with Alisha for some time but she assured me over the years that that was not the case with her. Hearing him say those things really put things in perspective for me. He really was an ass. I have my own self respect that not even Xavier could not crush.
