High school With My Fiance|✔

Chapter 31

I was left alone with Xavier as usual. Our parents were sitting in the living room chatting about each and everything they could think of. Politics? Sports? Weather? They got it all covered.

As for me? I have been trying hard to talk to Xavier about that night. The night when he came to get me but never actually met me. I wanted to hear it from him. But since I couldn't ask it in front of our parents I waited out for this moment. And I finally got it.

We were both sitting on the couch a little far away from our parents. He was sitting there pinching the bridge of his nose. His eyes closed.

I cleared my throat, "Xavier?"

He didn't make any movement but hummed in response.

I looked down at my hands for a moment which were laying on my thighs, "About that night,"

Before I could even complete my sentence his eyes shot wide open looking at me panicked before getting up. He took hold of my hands and helped me get up,

"I haven't shown you my room, have I?" He asked smiling at me.

I was still looking at him dazed. I shook my head slightly in denial.

"Since you showed me your room, I must too." He looked at me charmingly.

"I guess so?" I said unsure.

Is he really willing to show me his room? After all these year? Is he for real? Has he really changed that much? Wait a minute...or is it to keep me from asking him about that night?

"Come on then, I'll show you." He pulled me with him while going upstairs.

"Xavier...."

"God, how can I forget about your ankle." He said suddenly and was about to lift me up in a bridal style when I stopped him putting my hands in front of him.

"I-I can climb."

"You sure?" He asked concerned.

"Yes!" My voice came out to be meek as I stepped away from him and climbed the stairs before him. He looked at me impressively before joining me.

He stopped outside his room turning around to look at me for a while. I stood there waiting for him to open the door as he seemed unsure.

He saw me open my mouth to say something because suddenly all the uncertainty vanished from his face as he opened the door and invited me in.

I couldn't help but chuckle a little at his reaction.

Slowly I entered into his room and looked around. Now, I don't know what I was expecting really. So when I saw a grey room with a bed in the middle with its head touching one of the walls, the only thought that came to my mind was...he actually keeps his room clean and tidy. There was a chest drawer against the other wall. And on top of that were some photo frames.

But those were not the only thing which caught my attention. My attention was solely on one of the walls with a board and drawings pinned to it.

I turned towards Xavier a little surprised, "You draw?"

He put his hands behind the back of his head, "Sometimes."

I started making my way towards his drawings. I wanted to have a closer look. Xavier walked along side with me.

I stopped and noticed each drawing pinned with different coloured pins. I started looking at each and every photo slowly.

"They are so good!" I couldn't help but announce it. If possible I could announce it to the whole world right now. Xavier Reed knows how to draw some good stuff! Who knew a guy with sharp tongue and attitude was tender with a pencil.
