At the moment, Xavier didn't know what to say. But every day since he came back, he is longing for her. Should he tell her that he still loves her and it will never fade? She looked so beautiful with her outfit today although she looked like she's going to a funeral. Xavier's body just wanted to be close to her. He wanted to be attached to her forever.
"I want to know if you don't love anymore. So, you'll be free and I'll be free. You can fuck anyone you like and I'll do the same." Athena spoke again. His heart clenched.
"Athena," He called softly. He wanted to reach her and touch her.
"Xavier, just tell me." She begged.
"I can't be with you," He mumbled. "But I love you, so much that it hurts. You are free to love someone else…"
"That's not the answer that I wanted." She stood and walked around him. She bent down and grabbed his collar. "You are a coward."
