~Zara Todd’s POV~
“Did you see that?” Melanie asks me while I am gulping the chicken burgers into my mouth. She pushes me so quickly that the burger in my hand is almost not getting dropped and I glare at her for some short seconds.
“I’m really sorry but don’t you notice something weird Kate?” she turns her head quickly as she sees me glaring her playfully.
“I do but I don’t know why it is?” she says shaking her head up and down.
“Tell me what did you notice?” she asks to Kate.
“Don’t you think there is less chicken in this burger? I have been noticing this since some days and this is heartbreaking. Why would they reduce the chicken part instead of veggies?” she becomes quite sad as she looks at the burger pitifully.
“I don’t think the burger needs your pity Kate. I am talking about something else. Don’t you see Xavier right now? Have
~Zara Todd’s POV~“Zara!” Melanie runs through the corridor in her sports shoes while she calls me loudly after the school finishes.“Melanie, slow! Why are you running like that?” I stop her as I feel that it is quite hard for her to stop in the way.“I have to tell you an important thing. Would you like to listen it?” she says. I nod my head. She is like my closest friend and a friend I could trust in the school. So, I just decide to go with her.“You’re going to love this,” she says excitedly as she holds my hands and walks me away from the class to the stadium.“Yes, but what is it?” I ask her.“You will get to know once we reach there,” she smirks as she runs from there together with me.She stops when we reach at the door of stadium where the major programs are held and catches her knees with her both hands.“Will you now tell me why
~Zara Todd's POV~"Girls, no! I can't do this. You know I have never drank in my whole life," I protest as I try to run away from there. But it's all waste you see.Both of them catches before I even dare to run and they make me sit together with them."No one is going anywhere. You have to sit over here and have a drink over here," Melanie says as she holds my hand firmly. But I keep on refusing."I can't. It's bad" I say."We know it's bad but you see we've got to try this or else you know we won't even know how does it taste or how does it feel. Life's just about getting an experience. Why not grab the opportunity?" Melanie says.I know whatever she said is right but there is time for that. We can do that when we have graduated from the high school of we can just do that when we are going to college.We still have lots of time, right? But why today?I feel like I am soon going to be doomed with these girls."You
~Zara Todd’s POV~“ We don’t much time to enjoy our lives. Life is too short to enjoy ourselves. So, I want to live every moments of life like there is never a thing called tomorrow. Today is what we have and I want to have and I want to live in today, always” Melanie says as she plops down on the bed and stares ceiling curling her fingers and making it into hand binoculars.I steer my head towards her. I had never thought the girl who knows how to rock, how to do parties and how to be chilled out all the time knows the depth of life in such a way.I see Melanie eyes are quite watery and her tears roll down her eyes. That is when I realized something is wrong with her. Melanie is going through something weird and she isn’t telling it to me but I want to know it like hell.I don’t know why but before I didn’t care about whether she wants to tell me or not but now I want to know what she is going through. I want to
~Zara Todd's POV~"Xavier? You are kidding right now, aren't you?" she says."No! I'm not," I say."You mean you are for God real? You are wife of Xavier Dawson?" Her voice elevates suddenly and I quickly palm her mouth with my hands."Will you low down your voice please?" I leave my hands from there."God! I can't believe that you are wife of Xavier? How can this be possible? Like when did he get married and how come I don't know about it?" I say.I also don't understand the fact that she doesn't know about the marriage despite being family friends with each other.Isn't that quite strange that she doesn't know about all this?But whatever it was his mother's choice after all."Yeah! But I am. I am unfortunately his wife and I have to tolerate him for all my life. Can you imagine how troublesome and how tiring being his wife is? He does literally everything that I hate to do and bullies me every time. I don'
~Zara Todd's POV~I just don't understand what does she mean by getting married. Is it with Xavier? Or is it with someone else? Does she have someone she like so much?I don't just get it.I get all of her wishes but to get through all of this, I need to know who she likes first.So, I wrap the paper and keep it in my pocket quickly and rush out of the washroom when I suddenly fall hard on the floor.Maybe falling hard on my own ass is my new favourite thing. So, I keep on falling on the floor again and again."Fine!" I try to stand up when I suddenly see a hand approaching near to me for help."Melanie! How did you end up coming so fast? " I tell as I lift up my eyes to her but I find that it isn't Melanie at all."Xa...Xa..." I try to say his name when he suddenly palms my mouth with his hands and pulls me inside the washroom and locks the door."Don't make noise. You see they will come running here if they
~Zara Todd's POV~"Xavier! Xavier!" I shout as I follow him from behind."Don't follow me Zara! Go back," he shouts.I don't know why am I following him and why is he being so much stubborn right now?His views, his opinions shouldn't matter to me right? But it does. His views, his opinions do matter to me. I feel quite bad that his things are affecting me but I don't have a choice.It's my heart and it is doing something that my mind doesn't want to.This is ridiculous right. I never had such a strong control of my heart over my mind and now this is all happening to me."Xavier! Would you please listen to me? Why are you always so much stubborn?" I shout at him as he reach the entrance of the house.He stops his feet as he hears me shouting and turns his head to me.He glares at me and then just walks away."Zara! What happen? What did he say?" she asks me while I make a crybaby face?"Wh
~ Zara Todd's POV~I am walking away when he suddenly comes in front of me and stands upright with his hands still tucked inside his pocket and him chewing the corner of his right lips."Explain me everything now. Why did you do that? You wanted these all to be secret, don't you?" I ask her.I still don't have guts to look up at him. I don't know how did I do that but I did tell her.I felt that comfort within her, I felt that vibes within her and I felt that when she told me the biggest secret of her life, I should tell her the biggest secret of my life as well.Did I do any mistake over there?"I... I just trusted her. She trusted me and so did I. She told me her secrets and so I did. It should be fair right and the process should be give and take and don't you know she is going through such a hard time right now," I say."Hard time? Melanie?" He furrows his brows like he knows nothing about she is going to die soon and I thin
~ Zara Todd's POV~I feel the warmth of his lips while his fingers interfaces with mine and he drags them behind my back as his lips increases it's intensity.We are in the middle of way and there is nothing but the darkness surrounding us except some road lights some far away. The cold and misty night isn't letting us see anything except for ourselves melting in each other.He leaves his hands and those hands graze on my neck and his lips continue to kiss me on mine. The kiss turning to something wild and something more desiring.I can feel his lips are quite aggressive now and they are hurting mine so much. I can feel the force on his lips and over his body.I try to resist with my hands but he holds my hands quickly as he glides his tongue into my mouth tasting the corner and nook of my mouth."Xavier! St. ...," I want to speak but he comes to me faster than I can imagine and start kissing me torridly.I know I am not hating
