The next day, as usual, Hazel woke up early as other days only to find herself at Xavier's room and then she recalled what had happened the last day. She still can't believe he had confessed his feelings to her and she was his and him, hers. She just stared at his face, admiring all the contours there, with a sheepish smile on her face knowing that she can confidently stare at him.
"Don't be scared rabbit, I'm all yours to touch" Xavier said as his eyes snapped open
"Do you ever sleep?" She asked as she was startled
"I do"
"I see... and I wasn't scared"
"Says the one who was retracting her hands"
Hazel bit her lips hard, she was caught again
"Anyways you're up too early, the sun hasn't risen yet"
"I'm guess I'm used to getting up early now" she said with a tight smile. Xavier frowned " why the frown" she asked
He stared at her intensely "I'm so sorry Hazel, I made you do works you're not supposed to do. I can't believe I made you do the lowest job of all"
"Come on, its nothing now, at least I learnt how to do some dishes"
"I still don't feel okay"
"Okay, what should I do to ease the guilt"
"A ten minutes kiss will do" he said with so much excitement
"What!!!... ten minutes!!?"
"Is it bad?" He said looking confused
"Of course, I mean my lips will be sour and swollen. No thank you"
"It won't, I promise"
"And how do you plan on doing that"
"I'll kiss you till it won't become sour or swollen"
"..."
"It'll ease the guilt"
"Carry your cross then"
Xavier now had a gloomy face like a child deprived of his candy.
"OK, two minutes" Hazel negotiated
He still had his face on, unchanging
"Three minutes"
He didn't move a muscle
"Come on… four minutes" he just bowed his head yo show that he was displeased
"Five." Still no change from Xavier who was secretly smiling to himself.
"I'm not going beyond that, take it or leave"
And he finally raised him heard saying a forced "okay". Hazel seeing this said
"We can go for five minutes now and then five later" just with her last words, his face was lit up again. "Satisfied?"
"More than satisfied" and with that they locked up in a passionate kiss all the way for five minutes or more.
Later on, when the sun had risen up, Hazel was already sleeping while Xavier held her close. Relles hopped in and he caught sight if two people on the bed. Seeing this, he thought that Xavier had bedded some lady, cheating on Hazel. He hopped closer to the bed, he wanted to give Xavier a piece of his mind but held his tongue since no one knew of a rabbit talking and he didn't want this lady to know that. Xavier noticed him and stood up, tucking the lady well into the covers. That was weird,normally after bedding a lady, Xavier sends them out of the room so why was this person receiving a special treatment or had Xavier moved in from Hazel. Xavier who was tucking Hazel in could feel the daggers relles threw at him from his eyes.
Relles not able to keep it in any longer whisper yelled
"What are you doing with a maid when you are supposed to go after Hazel and moreover, I haven't seen her since yesterday. See, she has left to the Smith's mansion already without you doing anything. The witches will soon get her and I won't allow it. I don't even know why I put my trust in you, I'm off to the Smith's mansion" relles blabbered nonstop while Xavier just watched
"Are you deaf,I said Hazel has left the mansion or don't you feel anything for her again."
"I do" he gave a short answer
"You're not bothered at all?"
"Why would I, there's no need for it"
Relles lost it
"I would reap the maids soul and I don't care if I commit another offence, to...…, oh my gawd, don't tell me its Dorin that on the bed" he said trying to hop in the bed
"What are you doing" Xavier asked confused
"Going to reap her soul"
"Trust me, you wouldn't want to do that"
"Oh I would" he got his scythe after successfully getting on the bed and with a war cry removed the covers off the body of the girl but suddenly stopped when he realised it was Hazel there
" H-H-Hazel?"
"No, D-D-Dorin" Xavier mimicked
"What's she doing here, I thought she was ignoring you"
"She doesn't hate me and if anyone is yo be blamed, its you"
"Me?, how?"
"You told her I didn't want her around me any longer"
"Oh, I did it on purpose cause you weren't planning on making any moves, so with her being angry at you, you'll be desperate"
"—"
"Dorin will soon be here, what are you planning on doing"
"Since when did you think I cared about what her opinion is"
"Mrs Decron won't like this arrangement"
"I'll make sure to instinct fear in everyone's mind so no one will dare touch even a strand of her hair without permission FROM ME"
"Hmmn... have you told her about the witches that are after her"
"No, I'll do that after her dad arrives"
"You're bringing her dad here"
"Not to the mansion actually but yes, the withes have had a clue about him and they want to use it to get to her and me eventually"
"They still don't know that you aren't in their side"
"No, they don't"
"Foolish" relles said
"Indeed they are"
