Pari's pov(continuation)
I take in the persons cologne and easily.
Xavier.
I look up to see Xavier glaring at Bennett, his face colder than usual.
Did i miss something?
They stare at each other, Bennett with guilty eyes, and Xavier with the intensity of fire. I think am burning, no am probably melting like chocolate.
The air is caked with tension, breathing now a luxury I can hardly afford.
You know I have to try my best not to make a single sound. Don't wanna get caught up in the heat.
Now i understand what Bennett meant when he used the word complicated to describe their relationship.
This is so confusing.
"Xavier." Bennett calls with a small smile, the guilt in his eyes still as noticeable as ever.
<Pari's pov(continuation.)"Girls the cake's ready." aunt Rian calls from downstairs.Huh.... I have been waiting."Come on, let's go." I hop off the bed then walk to the door.I turn back to face Shelley when I heard no movement from behind. "You aren't coming.""Nah, just save some for me."Shelley says."Okay. Am going to bring the cakes up here." I suggest.Well, this seems weird."And you should wash your face its starting to creep me out." I state before leaving the room.I walk down the stairs, then to the kitchen. They is a tray of cupcakes sitting on the counter.
Pari's pov(continuation.)What the fuck is going on here."Candy." The little girl called first before running to Xavier's open arms. The rest soon follows."Hey am Beverly, Xavier's elder sister." The blond woman introduce herself. Studying her more closely I could see the resemblance, but also she looks more like Camille.It all fits, Camille is very free around Xavier because they are siblings.I look up to see Beverly staring at me. "Oh, am sorry, I spaced out." I quickly apologies. "Am pari.""Well nice to meet you pari." She smile cheekily. "And here you go." She pass me the cute little baby in her hands.
Pari's pov(continuation.)"What are you doing here." A voice says as soon as I open the closet."Am supposed to be asking you that." I scowl.Without a word, he drags me into the closet then close the closet door. The close distance between us making my stomach turn.Holy chocolate, I really don't know what is going on right now, but I do know that I feel very hot right now."What do you think you're doing." I hiss at him."Shh. " he place his finger on my lips. I think I just melt like hot chocolate.That's when I heard it, footsteps.Huh, here I thought this was a good place to hide.&nbs
Pari's pov(continuation.)'You ready.' Another message from pretty boy pops up.'Yup.' I text back.I put my phone in my black purse before walking down the stairs."Dad am out." I yell"When do I get to meet your boss." Dad yells back from the kitchen."I don't know, he's a very busy man." I lie. I had convinced dad that Xavier isn't a bad guy, but I can't imagine what would happen if they both meet.It would be a disaster."Okay, call if you won't be coming home tonight.""Aye, aye captain." I sing-song.
Pari's pov(continuation)'Off with her head.'But.He's my only chance of knowing the relationship between Xavier and Freya.No, Pari you are going to get yourself killed, a voice says at the back of my head. I guess that's the angelic side.C'mon what could go wrong. The dark side snorts.Yes really, what could go wrong, I will be back before Xavier realises am gone.ON MY WAY. - I texted back to Bennett.I sprint out of my office, Alex was busy typing on her computer.I take off my heels then tiptoe past her and through the glass door.Hah, I jump up after sneaking out of the office unsee
Pari's pov(continuation.)I walk through the glass door,my footsteps slow."Good morning Pari." Alex greets cheerfully, her face was holding a big smile."Good morning Alex." I say forcing a smile which falls when I got to the door of my office.I drop on my chair, my eyes droopy my head pounding, I wasn't able to get a good night sleep last night, and the night before.All thanks to Xavier.The telephone on my desk rings and I pick it up hastily."Hey Pari, Mr Xavier wants you in his office. Again." She emphasise on the word 'again.'I can imagine her wiggling her brows.She's really starti
Pari's Pov(continuation.)"That was awesome." Shelley fist bumps.Awesome."You literally got us kicked out." I groan as we walk in the empty street."But you gotta admit it we were like ninjas." She punches the air then throws a kick which made her loose her footings for some seconds."It was... " I pause then crack a smile. "Amazing."We did a high five."We were invincible."I stop walking when I felt something cold my nose, then another on my cheek.I look up, droplets of water are falling from the sky.Its raining. I look back at Shelley who now has a mischievous look on her face.No, no, no, no. Huh.... This is really going to end up badly.We arrived home really
Pari's Pov(continuation.)I hop down the stairs.Shelley really did a good number on my leg.It hurts like fuck."What happened to you kiddo." Dad asks his eyes scanning my now injured leg."It was Shelley, she made me hit my leg on the reading table." I tried to fake innocence.But she did made me do it tho."I didn't do anything, she hit her leg all by herself." I hear Shelley's voice from behind me. Her hair is messy, best describe as a bird's nest. She drags her feet to the counter then makes a mug of coffee for herself."She made me do it." I pout."No I didn't." Shelley scowls."Yes you did." I growl."No I didn't." Shelley snorts loudly.&n
