18. He Stayed

When I woke up the next morning, I turned to see Xavier fast asleep beside me. A smile instantly crosses my face. He stayed the entire night, just like he said he would. He kept his promise to me. I slowly get up and out of bed. Trying hard not to wake him. I head to my bathroom to shower, and get changed for work.

By the time I was out of the shower. Xavier had begun to wake up. 

"Good morning sleepy head." I call out to him, a large smile on my face.

Xavier gets out of bed, and begins walking closer to me. He stretches his arms above his head, lowering them around my waist shortly after.

"How are you feeling?" He asks me.

"For the most part ok. Just a little mortified, if anything."

"How come?"

"I'm just afraid that Jax will think I'm like a faberge egg. He'll treat me as if in any moment, I could fall apart."

"No he won't."

"How do you know? I know I would probably do that if the roles were reversed."
