~Zara Todd's POV~
Devi brings us some snacks to go along with the movie and leaves the place. I am amazed by the fact that Xavier seems so comfortable with Devi more than his mother. They seem like they are actually mother and son instead of Jennifer Dawson.
I keep on putting my hands on popcorn and eating them while watching movie.
Then, I suddenly find his hands gripping mine on the pop corn.
"Stop it Zara! You're going finish em' all," he says as he holds my hands.
"Aren't they made to be finished?" I blink my eyes as I turn back my head to the television.
"Obviously but I'm sure you won't leave a single piece for me," he says as he keeps the bowl of pop corn on the side and slides himself towards me and keeps his arms around my neck.
"I hope this feels warmer," he says. I can never imagine how cheesy Xavier can be. Like I am almost melting on his actions every time he does something like this. When did he even learn these kinds of
~Zara Todd’s POV~“Y…eah,” my voice doesn’t seem to be exactly like of mine now. It feels as if it has start to melt on the rhythm of his doings on me.“I am glad you feel so. I love the way you react to my touches and I feel like touching you more and more,” he says as he takes off my hoodie from my body and throws right at the corner of the couch.I am only on my white T-shirt. He smiles as he sees me on my white T-shirt.“I can see you red bra Zara,” he says and I quickly cross my hands against my chest as he smiles with his lopsided lips.God damn! This is so much embarrassing. How can I be so much shameless in front of him? This is just so insane.I close my eyes stressfully as I feel so much embarrassed and so much scared right at this time. I know we are going quite too overboard tonight. I mean I didn’t even had thought that we would be having all these things today a
~Xavier Dawson’s POV~“Who? Zara? Who was here? He tried to do what?” my voice turns solemn as I hold her closing her eyes slowly.“What the fuck is going on?” my eyes stresses with lots of worries when I see the thick beads of sweat in his forehead.“Zara? Don’t just close your eyes?” I shout but she doesn’t seem to hear me at all.“I need to call doctor. I fucking need to call doctor,” I shout as I put her in bed and get a phone to make and call. I rush back immediately to her after making a call.Her legs and palms are suddenly turning to cold and blue and it’s scaring me to the hell. I have seen a body as cold as the ice and I never want to see anything as cold as that in my whole life. I am so much obsessed with that cold body that I don’t even used to eat any frozen things and not even walk in the cold and frozen snow.“Zara! Just wait a bit and the doc
~Zara Todd's POV~The sounds of utensils and the sound of water running wakes me up all of a sudden. I feel as if I have been to a really long deep sleep. Like I have slept for years.I open my eyes as I hear those sounds and I see that it is actually not my room, not the one which I had woken up last night.My eyes rolls around the room as I clutch the corner of the duvet and try to remember what happened."I'm still on Devi's," I shout all of a sudden and try to wake up from the bed when I find IV drop being connected with my body.What the hell is going on? I mean why am I on this IV drop?"What's wrong?" Devi comes rushing towards the bed room as she sees me waking up with the laddle in her hands."No! Nothing. How long has I been asleep and why am I like this? Why mean why is this thing connected to my hands?" I ask showing IV drop in my hands."Oh! You've been asleep for the whole night. And you were unconscious last nigh
~Zara Todd’s POV~“Changes? What kind of changes?” I wipe away my eyes with the back of my palm and look at her with such an expected eyes.“What should I say to you? He has completely turned to be the person who is actually not him. I still remember the first day when I came to this house. Young master used to hide from everyone. There was no fear in his eyes. He didn’t hide from us because he was afraid of us but because in some way he thought that his cruel and rude behavior would hurt us and just because of that he would lock himself in the room almost for all the time except in the school. For almost four years, he was locked in a room without even letting him go outside. He didn’t go to lower secondary school. He was educated at home,” she says.“What? Why wasn’t he allowed to go out? Why was he locked?” I ask gulping the saliva on my throat.“I don’t know the reason but t
~Zara Todd’s POV~“I killed a person. I just killed a person, Zara,” she says. My eyes widens with disbelief when she says that. I don’t want to believe what she said to me just few minutes ago. That’s just impossible or I could say that is the thing I could never believe at all.I mean Melanie is just some jolly and life enjoying person right now and I am quite aware of the fact that she said, she has bulled some people in the past but killing someone is just too extreme. I just can’t believe when she said that she killed someone. I want to know more. I want to know what was the actual thing that she is not telling me completely right now.“I don’t believe it. I don’t want to believe it. How can that ever happen? Just tell me that thing never ever happened? The words that you told few seconds ago, tell me that it is all wrong,” I ask her as I hold her hands on mine with my brows curled up.&ldqu
~Zara Todd’s POV~I am left without any words after she had told ne everything. I don’t know if I can even judge her or not. I know she was wrong that she was on weed that night and she was under the influence of the weed and that all happened because of that.I think that was something she couldn’t control of but if she really wants to repent then she should at least try to say something to Nathan. She should try to explain everything to him instead of running away from him.“You should confess to him. You should just tell him everything that happened that night and foremost thing is you should just tell him how much regretful and sorry you are to him and how much you have lived your life in guiltiness all this time,” I hold her shoulders gently as she looks up to me.“Do you think he would listen to me? This is the heaviest burden I am carrying all this life and I don’t know how will he even react? I don&r
~Zara Todd’s POV~My eyes are filled with hope when she says that. I really want to know everything about Xavier. About his childhood, about his happiness, about his sadness and most of all about his dark pasts! Will she be able to tell me all of that? Shall I ask her everything or should I wait for Xavier to tell me everything?I just couldn’t decide what should I do right now? Should I even ask her without hesitation or should I protect all of his secrets?“You know Xavier was so much cheerful person when we were in primary school. I remember him singing and playing piano on ‘Mary had a little lamb’ when we were small. He was such an angelic child. He had chubby rosy cheeks and his eyes were so much bright at that time. He used to be happy and his lips curled up more when he was child,” she says. I am glad she said it herself.“And?” my ears want to hear more and more about him. I want to know each a
~Zara Todd’s POV~I wake up sweating like hell. This hands!!!I don’t want to remember them. I don’t know whose hands were those but I don’t want to see them. It wasn’t the hands of my uncle who harassed me years ago. This time, the hand was different and I really hated that hand for no reason.I grab my head tightly and grip my hair with my fingers and close my eyes for some seconds trying to recall myself and forget about that dream.“It’s alright Zara! It’s just a dream. Nowadays, you are just seeing something weird. I really need to tell everything to Xavier before it get too late or before I lose control over myself for these things and he starts to claim me as the mad girl.I breathe out heavily as I seek water to drink but I find that my jug is almost empty and I need to walk down to the kitchen to grab some water.I know Miss Jones would just come to my room if I ask help with her
