Xheilyn's POV
I glanced to Ximer in time while doing my rehearsal like I should be always gorgeous and poised motionless on my toes whenever I'm going to meet someone powerful for instance to be it's Taerror's mother, she kept informing that I should look always to be a perfect model icon... should it be dummy?
I'm also curious now about Ximer's appearance I mean... Why he is still here? Didn't he should leave already? I already told him I can go back on my way home to Taerror's flat.
He laughs at me and I can sense his eyes is on my way since he always laughed when I try to make a poise which is far from doing it correctly,I can't focus on my doing knowing he watched every moves that I do which is very inconvenient. Who would love to? It's annoying.
"Are you meeting someone here?"I asked when the session is done. I can sense that my hip bone will on pain later especially my ankles.
"No"he said directly.
"Then why still here?"I said sitting and removing my stilettos.
He placed his both hands on his purse and
bow at me grinning like I was a spectacular view to him.
"Then why I was here on the first place?"he said giving me a testing look.
"I told you already I can manage to go home"I said not looking.
"You can look to me whenever you talk"he said despising my sentence.
"I said you can go"
"Is this the first time a lady tend to refused at me?"he said like talking himself.
"Refused? what did you ask? I should be at rejoice for breaking your ego now"I said with a grin meeting his gazed.
"Are you done?"he asked.
"Yes"
"Then let's have a dinner"he said surprising me.
"Wow!are you asking me for a date?"shit!I should not Burst it out!not to be assuming!
He smiled and then laughed at me like I just said a spontaneous joke.
"If your girlfriend asked you to go out on dinner,would you assume she wanted to get date with you?"he said sounding amused.
I red,gosh! I hate this guy! Sorry for the strong word but it's the perfect word to describe my feeling right now...how can he be so Franky?
I just gave him a firm look.
"I'm starving it always good to have someone to accompany,much better"he said giving me a best smile obviously to be constrain.
"As you wish"I said getting my satchel and followed him coming out.
We stopped on the nice and expensive arousing restaurant that just looked to be suitable for wealthy people only,and not me to be part of,I'm not saying that we are similar to those beggars.
"Is this your favorite restaurant?"I said after taking my order which is pasta with meat sauce since that's the only dish I was comfortable to take.
"Once yes"he said glancing on the other table.
"How come?"
"Since this place become memorable to me with someone"he said not looking at me but to the guy and the lady on our left table that looks to be a couple.
"What's with them?"I said turning to the sweet couple that seemed to be having a great time when they both giggled talking to something.
"You can't just be so officious"he said directly.
"Yeah and nor you would be"I said while he raised his eyebrows and give me a clueless look.
"Well I sense you should know that sweet couple there since you were looking at them time to time like you are a jealous boyfriend"
"How did you say that?"
"Well it's remarkably to obvious—wait are you a jealous boyfriend?"I said realizing my words.
The order came and Ximer would be thanking that young waiter for saving him not answering my question.
"Thank you"I said and smiled softly to the server before he left.
I eat quietly since Ximer didn't bring out the topic again,maybe he didn't want to talk that about. I just watched him glancing to the sweet couple while the guy just stood and left the lady for a moment. I saw the lady called someone and head to the corner maybe to the restroom when I heard phone ringing.
I looked to Ximer reaching his iPhone and answer the person that seemed to be the receptor.
"Excuse me"he said walking away from me.
That's strange.
I just watched him ascending upstairs were the lady also headed while sipping my wine Errr I really don't like the taste of wine I only had my first taste when I celebrated my 18th birthday which is last year.
I felt a bit discreet and headed for the restroom.
The restroom is fully full and I can't take resisting my urinary.
"Excuse me,is there any restroom here?"I asked to the waiter carrying wine.
"Try upstairs Ma'am"he said giving me a smile.
"Thank you"I smiled back and immediately walked upstairs.
I quickly noticed the restroom which is nearly closed down the stairs.
I twisted the knob but it's locked,I tried again but it won't work.
How necessary to locked it up?I'm really at pee.
I tried to reach for the men's room but it immediately opened the moment I twisted the knob. How lucky! But come on Xheilyn let me remind you it's men's room!how could a woman be possibly to enter the men's room?but I can't fight it any longer.
I rushed to lavatory,what a lucked it's very vacant and I can use it for a sudden.
I press the flush button and immediately get out of the room but surprise!
Ximer?no no no way! I can see how shocked he was seeing me getting out of the men's room,but the thing I was curious about is seeing him also getting out of the restroom.
Did we just exchange rooms?
But why he should be on women's restroom if the men's room is completely vacant?I felt a bit embarrassed but a same time being quits since he also came out on the girls restroom.
But the most thing that made me surprise is seeing the lady coming out were next to him. I can clearly see now the girl's appearance on her red body hugging dress and it's perfectionist aura. I just also noticed now the red stained lipstick were now on Ximer's lips. So what do you think?seeing a man and woman getting out on same room with a stained lipstick on the guy's lips?
I saw how Ximer being threatened and uneasy knowing for what I saw. I looked away and headed downstairs.
I sat back again on my seat thinking and analyzing what I saw,should I just leave?or stayed and act like I'm not affected for what I saw?or should I ask Ximer to drive me home since I'm already done eating?jeezzzz I'm not ready to talk to him now!but I suppose it would be more harder for him to talk to me since I saw how bothered he was that I knew about the both of them! But wait—are they having affair?oh my! But the lady had a date earlier and I'm pretty sure it was his boyfriend!
I looked up and saw the guy I was referring to...he smiled at me the moment we eyed contact ,no wonder his a good person,his like a quality of a man that suits all the kinds and sweet personalities of a guy should have to,I felt pity for him if the lady is making impose to his back I'm sure he would definitely be hurt. He don't deserve it!I mean no one deserves cheating—especially to those kind person.
"Xheilyn!"I heard someone called my name.
I looked to Ximer on my back breathtaking,did he run?
"Why in a hurry?"I said not obviously bothered for what I saw.
He grab my hand while I reach my bag before going out.
"You didn't even touch your food"I said when we are inside of the car and he started driving.
He didn't say anything that 'made me look at him.
"Are you okay?"I said he looked palled.
"Don't act like you didn't saw anything"he said coldly that made me freeze.
So...oh dear!what should I say?I bet it's harder for him, I can even heard the strong heartbeat on my chest.
"Uhmmm... should you thank me?coz I'm not acting like I was bothered for what I saw,I don't care anyway"I said and he stopped the car.
I keep still. He looked so temper.. it was my first time seeing his jaw harden. Who knows he stopped the car coz he was planning to murder me?again?oh dear! I'm done dying!
"I can go back on my way"I said and opened the car but his hand held me stopping me from getting out. I watched his hand on my wrist like he is holding it gentle,I don't know but I felt like this an electricity that strikes the roots of my nerves that made me feel that uncomfortable feeling again.
I sat back and he let go. He shouldn't stopped me,I'm really dying to get out and go home on my way...I just wanted to lay on my bed and screamed all the feelings that existing now on my system.
"Taerror Will socked me if I let you back on your own"he said and revive the engine.
The ride was very long for me since it was gone allay and Ximer didn't say anything since then,I just wait impatience till the ride was finished.
I immediately opened the car the moment it stopped and didn't wait for Ximer to open it for me.
"Thanks for the rope drive"I said before rushing inside the building.
I reached the room very rushed and quickly,I shut the door and leaned closing my eyes. What should I do?why did he invite me to that restaurant?what was his purpose?did he just used me to cover up their meet up affair?idiot! My heart beat still racing.
"Aughhhh"I groaned sustainable. Better-off I came home. How stressful this day for me!not the part having a good time with Aunt.
I can feel my ankle is numbed but hurting,my hips is at pain too...I'm going crisis in taking shower again.
"Hey!"I heard Taerror's voice. I open my eyes and meet his gazed.
My mouth rifted but didn't utter any word.
"Hi!"I said at surprise. More obviously looking surprise.
"Are you rushed? where's Ximer?"
Don't mention that name!I mind while he asked motionless.
"Gone!he's in a hurry he didn't do it to come here"I lied, well I'm escaping, escaping from nothing.
He scanned my whole body like he just noticed now my dress,I study his emotion by looking at his eyes taking a survey to my stature that ended in a hoisted eyebrows.
"You look..."
"Different"I added cutting his words.
"No!you look human"he smirked.
"You!"I burst while he grinned and draw a small laughed before losing in my sight.
"Savage!"I muttered from nowhere.

Xheilyn's POV
I called Veron making a small chit chat catching for aunt Mi's condition after taking an instant shower,she said aunt Mi is fine and really happy even now she is dying. My problem!. What would be our life if Aunt will be leaving us?I'm worried for Veron and Uncle.
*Ring*
*Ring*
*Ring*
My phone rang and get it on the top of my table when I saw Taerror's name registered.
I grinned,is he not home?why would he called me if we just live in same place.
"Are you nuts?"I said opening the door. I saw him sitting in front of the table were foods are prepared, smells delicious!great chief.
"Join me"he said while the cell is still on his ear talking to me on the other line.
"What if I don't?"I said teasing him. Where did that urge teasing him came from?
"Then go and starve!"he said taking down the phone.
I chuckles and join him for a supper.
"No wonder you're really a good cooker"I said not looking to him,it's not bad to plead him sometime since he really did a great job.
"I know right"he said and I smirked.
"I should known it's bad for you hearing any compliments from others"I said while chewing.
"Just eat"he said at surrender.
"All right"I said and continued eating.
****
"What with dealing something anyway?"I asked while washing the dishes.
"Your too inquisitive"
"Sorry,I can't help it"I said turning to him.
"Too much silenced sometimes can be so boring,it's better to talk to someone"I added.
"It's Friday"he said holding a glass of wine. Like always!
"What so ever?"
"This should be the day for you to meet my Mom"
"What?!" I burst.
"Did I missed?why didn't you tell me?why too soon?"I asked while my heartbeats went abnormally.
"I delayed the day,I said your not yet ready"he said calmly while I sighed at relief.
"Then when is the set day?"I asked.
"Friday next week"he said.
I calculated the exact number of that time from the calendar in my mind and it helps me reminded the same date of my birthday. How unlucky.
"What's with that day?"I said calmly not sounding bothered.
I almost forgot it but I'm also planning to spend my day with my family were to aunt,Veron and Uncle since they are my only family now.
"It's my brother's birthday"he said.
Wow!he had a brother?
"I didn't know you had a brother"I said stating the words running into my head.
"My life is full of surprises,you should be set yourself "he said sipping to his lota favorite wine.
"Looked at me! My life is full of dilemmas but I'm taking responsibilities from others life"I burst not thinking about it.
I heard him made an apology. Did he just say sorry?
That's the first time! My lips draw a smile that I didn't know what it means,I just noticed how he change his treat to me...not mentioning I'm happy for the changes.
"Go to sleep after that"he said and gone in my sight.
****
The intense and hard impact of the squeezing edge of the thong hit my back once again that would definitely leave a mark there. I strained myself for not creating a hard weep and sobbing sound from my pale and shaking dry lips. I don't mind if it sucks me for the whole evening, because what I'm thinking now...what would be our life now if she never leave us?if she just stayed and didn't go? it sucks me thinking the reasons why... are we not enough?I should be laughing now with them and not tearing with him.
I curse myself when I heard my own voice with a sounding sob,I immediately covered my mouth with my hand and force myself to hold back my tears and weep.
BEEP...BEEP...BEEP...
I rose from bed and off the sound of alarm still beeping...
To be continued....
