Chapter 2

What the hell? This can’t be! I’m probably seeing wrong, they just  look alike. I gulped, looking away.

“Are you okay?” Frank whispered close to me, his hand gently rubbing my palm.

I slowly looked at him, forcing a smile on my face. “Of course.” I nodded, feeling a lump in my throat. “I just hurt my nail,” I lied, picking up my purse while avoiding looking at him.

“Uncle Frank!” The young man cheered, walking towards us, my body shook from his presence, I could feel the hair on my skin rise in both excitement and fear.

Damn! How did I let things get to this?

“Xavier.” Frank pulled him into a bro hug. “heard your team won for the season, you really are a good captain.”

“It was a struggle pulling the guys together knowing there was no coach, I’m glad it turned out great.” Xavier smirked, his eyes shifting to mine with a knowing look.

“Well meet my fiancé, we are getting married in a week’s time.” Frank gestured to me with a mighty smile on his face like it was the best thing that was going to happen, technically it was, since we were both crazily in love with each other but right now… my blood was riled up in fear.

Xavier’s eyes devoured mine, I could feel his eyes peer through my clothes, his tongue licked his bottom lips, reminding my skin of its touch, my hole tingling.

Fuck! Not now.

How are you doing?” I forced a smile, pushing my hand forward for a handshake but I realized too late that it was a mistake.

He immediately clasped his hand in mine, it felt rough and hard yet sparked up something again, a chill shiver went through my whole body.

I instantly pulled my hand away and turned to Frank. “We should have our seats.” I said to him and walked over to the table before he could hesitate, my hands were trembling almost visibly and I had no idea what to do.

Why was my day getting crazier by every moment?. Frank kept glancing at his phone and replying to whoever it was but I didn't pay attention, it was probably work as usual.

Just when I was about to sigh in relief, I felt a familiar presence at my side, my eyes as slowly teak///////////////////l for the man just egging seated beside me and froze.

“Xavier loves to meet new people, goes you’re no new favorite person///////////////.” Julie, Frank’s elder sister, spoke with a smile on her face. “He used to be that way with Frank, I guess he wants to get used to the newest member of the family.” She added.

“Just as aunt Julie says.” He smirked, staring into my soul. “I like to get to know people just like Neto in their///////////// Fl faces.” He leaned and whispered in my ear. “I love to know them from inside.”

His breath struck my neck, I shut my eyes, taking a deep breath and forcing a smile like he hadn’t just teased me. “Nice to meet you again Xavier, I’m not one to talk much.” I forced the words out, hoping he would at least back off.

The smirk on his lips told me otherwise. “Well you scream much don’t you?” He teased again, thankfully his words weren’t audible enough for anyone else to hear.

“What happened last night was a mistake.” I clenched my fists, how could I let myself get swayed like that? It’s not my fault. It’s all thanks to him that I preferred the touch of another man.

“A lovely mistake your body is yet to heal from.” He snickered. His hand lifting my skirt, I slapped his hand away but made sure it wasn’t noticeable to the others, I didn’t want this to go into a chaotic route. 

Xavier didn't care and placed his hands on my thighs, squeezing it gently with a smirk on his face, I clenched my teeth, my breathing beginning to get raspy no matter how hard I tried to stop it. “What if your fiancé knows what you did?” He whispered.

I felt a hard lump in my throat as his hands slowly went up. I ought to punch this madman in the face but I didn’t dare, in truth my hand was shaking on the spot, I was turned on and losing my mind.

“Honey, Xavier here is a part of the national cover team, he led his team pretty well during this summer without a coach.” Frank smiled , turning to me.

“Oh really… That's cool.” I stuttered, his hand going deeper than I thought, punching his hand didn’t make him budge and made him even more persistent. “Well tell us what happened to your coach?”

He stopped with a smile. “He got fired for breaching a contract agreement.” He shrugged his shoulders like he didn't care about that. “As the captain, I had to make sure things went right, we were in the right spot and getting a new coach at that time was going to set my team up for failure and I love to win.” His gaze returned to me, eyes peering onto mine. “Not just games but women.” He winked.

He winked at me again? Bastard!

Was he trying to get us caught?

“Women you say? Have you gotten a girlfriend?” Frank said he took another bite of his food when I had barely touched mine, thanks to this idiot.

“Not at all but I could say a fuck mate.” He arched his head to the side, pawing me a knowing smile.

“Oh don’t say that!” Julie said while laughing. “I’m sure you’re going to break a lot of hearts.”

“I think it’s the other way round.” He sighed, pulling his hand away with a small frown on his lips. “I’m unlucky when it comes to finding love.”

“I’m sure it will come by.” Frank replied, pressing his hand on mine.

“I don't want to be as old as you when I find love.” Xavier sighed, teasing Frank who laughed it off.

“Welll that isn't a bad idea.” Frank shrugged, "That aside, my beautiful fiance here is a retired coach.”

Shut it! Why bring that up now?

“Is that so?” Xavier turned to me with a surprised expression on his face.

“Yeah.” I nod, trying hard not to spare him a glance. “And I don't plan on-”

“You should become my team’s coach.”

My fork came clattering to the plate, my whole body stiffened. I turned my head to him in shock. “What?”
