The Fallen HODWIII

Chapter 15 : Shall We Go

**Xenon's POV**

I immediately hid Claire behind me, hating the look coming from Julius. It was as if he were telling me that anytime he could take Claire away from me, and I hated it. He was fucking annoying.

I glared at him and looked at Claire. "We have to go," I said, and without waiting for her response, I dragged her out of the restaurant.

"Hey!" I heard Julius yell, but I ignored him, not giving a fuck about him.

When we got outside, I kept walking, still filled with anger. I just couldn't shake it off.

"Are you jealous?"

I stopped the moment I heard Claire ask those words. I faced her, seeing the mischief in those chocolate brown eyes that kept me mesmerized.

I took a deep breath and sighed. "I... I can't help it. Every time I see him looking at you, fuck. I just wanna pull out his eyes," I said in frustration, struggling to calm myself.

I calmed down when I felt her hands hold mine. "No one could take my heart from you, Xenon. Whether you hold it tightly or not," she said in her soft voice.

Claire rarely used her soft voice, and that was only when we were alone or she was speaking to me. Her words struck my heart like a bomb, exploding inside me.

I couldn't help but bite my lip, trying to stop the urge to smile. I looked around and saw that we were standing near the little lake at the school. Suddenly, I remembered the reason why I came to the restaurant, so I faced her. "What happened?"

She shrugged. "Just my anger showed a bit."

I hated this feeling, that she was putting me aside. Like I wasn't a part of her life. But I understood because I loved her the way she was. However, things were changing, and now I was her boyfriend. I just wanted to be more than I was in her life. "Tell me, what really happened, and how did you get mad? Was it about Daniela?"

She shook her head. "No, not really. It's just that..." She looked at the lake. "I remembered something that happened before."

I patted her soft hair. "Will you tell me?" I asked, hoping that she would.

Even when we first started our relationship, I never heard about her past. That was why I felt a little behind-exactly behind. She didn't even tell me what happened during her day, just parts of it. I knew she was hiding the most important things that I should know, and it pained me to know that she seemed to be putting me aside.

She shook her head again. "Just... the way of my training," she said, and I sighed, sensing the sadness in her voice.

I held her cheek. "Please, Claire, don't forget about me... don't forget who I am in your life. Because you... are my everything."

She looked straight into my eyes. "There are things that should only remain in the past, Xenon. We should just celebrate the present, and I'm glad to have you." I was surprised by her words, especially when she hugged me and sniffed my scent.

I hugged her back tightly. I loved Claire so much that I could die for her.

"You don't know how much I love you, Claire. Please... don't ever get tired of me," I pleaded.

She hugged me even tighter.

**Lucas' POV**

"I-I just go get your drinks," Stella shyly stated and stood up as she walked toward the kitchen, leaving me with the rest of the Insigma Fighters.

I followed her with my eyes; she made me love her even more. No matter what she did, it seemed so perfect in my eyes. Oh fuck, I was so whipped, and I couldn't deny it.

"I heard that there is an underground battle tomorrow night, coming from our school," Xenon said casually, then looked at me.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" I asked curiously.

He just shrugged. "Nothing; I just wanna know if you want to join us. We plan to watch it."

"Oh, so you already have plans for tomorrow." I grinned. "I'll ask Stella first about that," I said.

"You're whipped, dude!" Coby laughed.

"I know," I replied, and they chuckled.

After dinner, I walked toward the room and saw Stella looking at herself in the mirror while wearing her white casual dress.

I smiled and walked closer to her. I then hugged her from behind. "My fiancée smells so good," I teased, sniffing her neck.

She giggled. "S-stop it." She bit her lip in embarrassment and faced me.

"Are you ready?" she asked, smiling shyly.

I grinned. "My baby is so excited for our date," I chuckled.

She bit her lip and looked down. "You said it's tonight, and I... I have already prepared." She pouted.

Oh damn, she was so cute that I couldn't help myself. I raised her chin and pecked her lips. "What if we have our date here in our bed the whole night?" I said in a husky voice.

Well, I really preferred being here in our bed than outside the school right now.

She shook her head with flushed cheeks and looked at me with those cute blue eyes. "I... I was waiting for this... date," she said shyly.

Oh goodness! I'd be damned if I said I wasn't attracted to those expressions of hers because hell, it was hard to control myself.

Without her permission, I claimed her lips once again, trying to savor the moment I had with her. She responded, and fuck, I couldn't stop myself. She was so sweet and innocent; I held her waist and pulled her even closer.

I sucked on her lips, asking for entrance, but she didn't give it, which made me groan. I bit her lower lip sensually, but she still didn't give in. In fact, she pulled away and faced me with apologetic, shy eyes. "Shall we g-go?" she asked.

I sighed and smiled. "Fine, I'll go get changed. Wait for me, okay?" I softly requested.

She nodded, biting her lip.

She should stop doing that, or we would continue what we didn't finish.
