Liana felt something touch her neck and opened her eyes to see the bastard who had tried to kill her holding a knife to her neck.
"Thought you got away " he laughed holding her down. She cried in fear as she tried to free herself.
"How did you find " she cried but he didn't answer and raised the knife so he could stab her.
Liana shouted in fear asking for help.
"Xavier, Xavier please help, he's going to kill me" she screamed...
Liana, Liana...wake up " she heard a voice call her. Her eyes opened to see Xavier sitting next to her on the bed. Looking around with a trembling body Liana cried, "he was just here, I saw him "
Xavier moved closer and held he trembling hands, "it was all a dream, he was never here," he said.
Liana still scared kept looking around but he held her chin turning her sight towards him.
"Liana it was a bad dream, calm down," he said pulling her into his embrace.
He could feel her warm breath on his neck and the sound of her racing heartbeat next to his.
Liana slowly calmed down.
"Am sorry I must have been screaming to get you to wake up " she apologized.
He pulled away gazing Into her teary eyes, "it's alright I understand " he gave her a slight smile.
Liana sniffed, "I know am safe now but I can't help to think that he might be looking for me and soon will find me so that he can finish me off " she cried.
Xavier frowned holding her hand, "I know I have no right to ask but who is this person trying to kill you?" he asked.
She sighed wiping away her tears.
"I don't want to talk about him. but all I can say is that he used to be close but after we had our difference he lost his mind and decided to kill me " she said.
Xavier didn't ask anything else and told her to go back to sleep. Liana laid back down and he got up to leave but she grabbed his hand.
"Can you lay next to me and keep me company?" she said. She could see his golden eyes staring back at her with marvel but she ignored it and continued,
"I know you might call this crazy but I guess we are both past that now. I have grown to trust I total stranger "
"I don't think it's crazy " he answered.
Liana moved back creating space for him, "then join me, Xavier. Am having nightmares about someone trying to kill and this huge room makes it even worse when am alone "
He laid down next to her pulling the covers over them.
Liana laid down facing the other way. She felt him move lay down and his scent covered the whole bed.
"I still don't know why you're helping me to such a length without knowing who I am but am glad it is you who saved me " she muttered.
"You don't need to know someone to help them, I just did what I saw fit," he said as he turned to her side gazing at her back. Her red hair scattered over the pillow. He could hear her breathing soften as she drifted back to sleep.
"I just hope I don't regret having saved you Liana " he whispered before closing her eyes.
Liana woke up stretching like a cat. She had slept like a baby last night after Xavier kept her company. She turned around to see Xavier still asleep next to her, his gown badly opened exposing his chest.
"How can a man be this beautiful and with such a perfect body " she muttered as her eyes hovered over his face and body. "Long lashes, perfect nose, and pink lips... you're really gorgeous," she said.
moving closer she added, "but I love your eyes more "
"You up early, " Xavier said as his eyes opened. Liana jerked away in surprise making him chuckle.
"Am sorry was I too loud that I woke you " she stammered.
"It's alright I was about to anyway " Xavier smiled down at her.
"Did you hear everything I said?" she asked looking away.
Xavier smiled, "I did and I have to say you are the only woman who has ever called me beautiful" he laughed before leaving the bed.
He turned back to her, "I thought since you are alone at home with nothing to do, why don't you come to my company with me " he said.
She looked at him, "That would be great I would love to. " she smiled.
He nodded and walked out.
Liana fell back in bed and growled in shame.
"Oh, God he heard me. Now he's going to think the woman he saved is a pervert " she yelled into her pillow.
