Nathania’s POVNana felt her heart missed a beat as she turned sharply to Xavier. Her eyes spoke of her fear and she found herself praying that he didn’t see it or even associate it as something important. She knew she needs to act and fast and so she tried her best to swallow her fear and think of a good answer. She laughed half nervously and glanced at Xavier like he was speaking nonsense, “bleeding? Why on earth should I bleed when I feel no pain?”She saw Xavier gulped and she knew instantly that he was thinking of an answer too. “Well, are you sure you are not hurt? I mean,” he licked his lips and avoided her gaze. “Is that really not blood?”Nathania pretended to check her body, “I don’t see any blood, where do you see it?” she looked up. She could see the difficulty in his eyes and if it was on a different circumstance, she would have loved seeing him like that and would probably humor him some more but too bad she really has to get out of here as soon as possible. She knew alr
Xavier’s POVXavier parked his bike at the street he could remember coming with Nana, he glanced up ahead at the many houses in front and frowned, he wondered which one would be hers since he could remember what she had said about her neighbors, he wouldn’t want to cause her any problem or defamation by going around and knocking on different doors while asking for her. He glanced around, wishing he could just see her by chance and also regretting why not asking for her number that other night.The times ticked by and he paced to and fro, waiting and trying not to check the time. Eventually, after what felt like two hours had passed, he gave up, there was no way he was going to see her and without her number to call her out, it made it all the more impossible. He sighed and climbed his bike, putting on his helmet. He glanced at the rows of houses and heaved another sigh, he would have really loved to see her and ask her to come with him to Hawaii, he sure as hell knew it would be fun w
Nathania’s POV The flight wasn’t boring for the rest of them but Nathania guessed it was for Xavier since he slept all through the flight and magically woke himself up just as the jet was landed. Nathania’s family isn’t poor but compared to the Greys, she guess they are just living by. There was a limo waiting for them when they got down from the jet and they all boarded and was driven to the cabin, that is if it was supposed to be called a cabin but a mansion. It was two floors building but it was massive compared to other cabins she had ever seen. She cannot even begin to describe the building other than the word: flawless. Two servants welcomed them and their classmates being teenagers, screamed and ran into the house, trying to get the best rooms. Nathania was rooted at the spot for it was only at this moment that she realized that she would be expected to share a room with Teresa. Just why didn’t I think of this? She wondered while staring at the beautiful house in horror now. I
Nathania’s POVNathania could feel her heart beating loud in her chest as she thought of a thousand and one reason to escape from the person pinning her against the wall until she perceived the familiar cologne. “I will deal with you later about trailing me but now, you need to hush,” Xavier’s voice, ever so smooth flooded into her ears like a silent wave and just then, she heard the murmurs of two men, walking past by quickly and wondering where they have gone. When the coast was clear, Xavier still held her like he did earlier and she tried not to breathe too much or nosily and alert his attention. He smelled so good and all she wanted was just to put her head on his neck and inhale deeply while slowly reaching up to feel his lips. She had her eyes closed, imagining how mesmerizing that would be if she could do it.If she was in her true form, perhaps she would have taken the risk, but at this moment, and donned as Oliver, she would never try it. Not for her sake, but for the sake o
Nathania’s POV “Where on earth were you two?” Teresa bellowed as soon as she and Xavier stepped into the house.“I went out, he followed,” she heard Xavier say and her eyes went to him sharply but he didn’t even gift her a glance as he went up the stairs, ignoring Teresa and the rest of their classmate.Teresa didn’t seem fazed about that and just turned her anger to Nathania, like she was expecting Xavier to act just like that. “Couldn’t you at least tell me you were going out? Do you have any idea how worried I was and none of you even left with your phone.”“I’m sorry, babe,” Nathania smiled and went up to her, putting her arms around her and wrapping her in her arms before placing a kiss on her forehead, “it won’t happen again.”“It better,” Teresa said. And she chuckled above her head, kissing her softly on the head and closing her eyes, thinking about when Xavier was just that close to her and shivering softly, remembering the feeling of his hot breath on her neck.Xavier’s POV
Xavier’s POVXavier stared at the boy, his heart thumping loud in his chest and he cleared his throat, glancing away from him to hide the emotion in his eyes. “What rubbish are you spouting?” he asked coldly, “if I hate you then do you think I would let you date my only sister? Yes she is my cousin and we are both only child’s, do you think I will let you be with the only sibling I have?” he raised an eyebrow.Oliver bit his lips and nodded, “I understand that but from my own understanding, most people are friends with the partner of their siblings. I mean, I am friends with my brother’s partners. I talk to them when I see them and I laugh with them at their jokes. I always even go out with them and spend some time with them, it’s all fun. But you have been ignoring me since you knew me. After our bet, you almost loosened up around me and before I knew it, you were uptight again. What did I do? Am I annoying you or something?”That was a long speech that Xavier didn’t know how to comp
Xavier’s POVXavier rode into the property and as he turned off the engine and took of his helmet, he heard the laughter. He frowned, the laughter was a little distance from the cabin and he knew instantly that the laughter wasn’t in the house. He got down from his bike and walked towards the beach, the only place he suspects the laughter to be coming from and sure enough, he could see the people having fun in the water. He found himself instantly wondering if Oliver was having a swim and how he would look with drenched body. He found himself drooling and had to snap out of it.They were plenty girls in the water, some he knew and some he has never seen in his life before, why can’t he drool over them and here he was drooling about a boy in his mind. He bit his life, his new discovery about his taste is not sitting well with him and he knew he had to do something about it. Approaching the beach, he noticed that he couldn’t find the brown messy hair he was searching for in the water an
The young girl stared at herself in the mirror and smiled. She was dressed in a white turtleneck and a black leather jacket with black jeans and white sneakers. She perused her face in the mirror and reached for her makeup which she used to enhanced her cheekbones and she made her eyebrows thicker than usual. Loving her new manly look, she nodded and grabbed a bobby pin which she used and hold her hair all back before putting on the short brown-haired wig. She arranged the wig with her fingers, making it a little messy and then she pouted her lips at herself in the mirror before she chuckled and left to pick up her backpack that was resting on her bed. Stepping out of her bedroom, she called out in a feminine voice at the next door, “Granny, I’m leaving for school.” “Okay my dear, I will have food ready by the time you are back,” an elderly woman’s voice rang from the room. “Don’t stress yourself Granny, if you can’t handle it, I will prepare it when I’m back.” “Oh dea
