Jessie stared at him with her mouth tightly shut. She was speechless once again. When did he become so romantic with his words?
"Say something please" Xavier begged after a whole minute of silence
"I…. I need a glass of water" she stammered and stood on her feet
He gently pulled her arm and caused her to lose balance, he caught her on time and she fell on his lap in a seated position. She trembled as he tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear
"You can't run away just because the conversation got hard. Remember? That was what you told me." Xavier stated
"Nice, using my own words against me," Jessie said with a smile
"Stop stalling. Let's talk. I've laid my cards on the table. Why don't you? Do you feel anything for me too?" He asked with a serious look
Jessie stood up from his lap and sat on the couch. It was more difficult to get her words right if she was sitting on him.
She took a deep breath and let it out slowly.
