Seeing Xavier and Zion together melts my heart.
"I see you guys are catching up" I Said interrupting them, smiling.
When I turned to look at Xavier pairs of emerald green eyes were already staring right back at me.
For a moment it felt like my heart stop beating. He's eyes will always be my most favorite thing to look at. He has the most beautiful eyes.
"Are you okay" I heard zion asked.
"Yeah, so what were you guys talking about" I asked sitting on the opposite couch facing them, trying not to blush.
"I was just telling Zion about the ghost council head"
"Since he can also see me I guess there no need hiding anything from him" Xavier added.
I nodded agreeing to Xavier,
"What about your dad" Zion asked casually.
But I guess the question triggered a lot of bad memories because I didn't even know when I started tearing up.
"Oh my God did I say something wrong"
"I'm sorry " Zion said panicking.
"It's not your fault please stop apologizing"
He was absolutely clueless about the whole situation but my stupid emotions keeps getting the best of me.
I need be strong.
For me and mom.
"Hey are you okay" Xavier said this time kneeling in front of me wiping away my tears.
"Enough with the tears"
"I just couldn't control it"
"But I'm fine now i promise" I whispered trying to smile.
"Hey Zion it's not your fault" when I turned to look back at him the hurt expression on his face was visible.
"I didn't mean any harm"
"If I knew that question would make you cry I swear I won't have asked that" Zion added with sad eyes.
"Hey please stop blaming yourself" I walked up to sit beside him taking a hold of his hand trying to comfort him.
So I explained everything to him the abuse and all everything I and my mom had to endure.
I tried my very best not to cry but the tears wouldn't stop coming.
I was enraged
All the lies.
All the pretenses.
All the fake kisses and affection.
I cringe at the thought of them and the more I think about it the heart wrenching feelings still lingers.
"Hey get out of your head" Xavier warned snapping me out of my thoughts.
And Zion was shaking with range.
"Hey Limah listen to me"
"Your dad is gonna pay for everything he did to you and your mom, I'm gonna make sure of that" Zion said sternly.
"We in this together okay" he added squeezing my hands this time give me a reassuring smile.
"I don't really know your dad but you remember the one time I came to pick you up"
"His vioce sounded so familiar I know I have definitely heard it from somewhere"
"Do you have a pic-tur"
"Her dad is mr Norman Zion" Xavier said cutting him off
"The man who normally drops a package for dad once every week" Xavier added.
"Now I see why his vioce sounded so familiar the first time I heard it" Zion mumbled.
"Limah your dad is definitely hiding something.
"Something big" he added.
"You know this house belong to Xavier mom right"
"Yeah Xavier told me" I whispered.
"So why did your dad lie about it belonging to you great grandparents, and the only person that has access to the key to this house is
"Dad, Mr Malik" Xavier and Zion at the same time.
"Something really dubious is happening here and you dad and mine are very much involved"
"When was the last time your dad came home"
"I think more than 3 weeks now" I said.
"Anytime he shows up please call me"
"Okay" Zion added.
"Of course"
I turned to look at Xavier he seems to be in deep thoughts and the next sec he was smirking.
"Ok that's weird" I said lowly to myself
"Huh what was that" Zion asked.
"Oh nothing for you to worry about"
"Zion come here" Xavier said
"Huh you talking to me"
"Yeah you come here"
"Oh ok!"
Immediately he got closer Xavier kicked him hard in his shin
"What tha hell" Zion groans in pain holding his leg"
"What was that for" I asked looking at Xavier with a surprise expression clearly written all over my face.
"That's for killing my cat" Xavier grumbled.
"Geez man really it's been years"
"And moreover I didn't kill your cat" Zion added still holding his leg.
"But you said you did"
"I only said that to piss you off"
"I don't even know how your cat died, seriously you didn't have to do that" Zion said leaping back to sit on the couch.
"Still not saying sorry tho" Xavier said looking everywhere except for me.
"Xavier you didn't have to do the" I said seriously.
"Zion are you okay" I asked crouching down to take a look at his leg.
"It hurts" Zion mumbled.
"You just being a big baby" Xavier called out frowning slightly.
"You calling me a big baby really"
"You are the one holding a grudge here for years over something I didn't even do" Zion added
"Not my fault you claimed to do it"
I sighed tiredly Zion and Xavier kept bickering non stop.
"Both of you shut up"
"That's enough"I said pointing to Xavier and Zion.
"You know what I think but of you are acting like babies"
"Anyways I'm sorry for doing that " Xavier grumbled.
"No you not"
"I think I would start heading home now"Zion said standing up
"See you at school tomorrow Limah" he added walking towards the door wincing slightly.
"You need help bro" Xavier asked rushing towards him wrapping his arms around him
"Fuck off" Zion grumbled but he still didn't push Xavier away.
I couldn't help but smile at the sight of that.
"Geez you slow, do I have to carry you" Xavier said complaining.
But I could see the small smile playing on his lips.
Xavier and Zion kept bickering all the way to the car.
I just stood by the door watching them.
And to be honest it was quite fun to watch.
"Hey there" Xavier said hugging me from behind.
And I immediately melted into his arms.
"Mi amor" he whispered sweetly in my ear. Swaying me gently from side to side.
"You know I'm still angry at you" I said turning around to face Xavier still clinging to him.
"Huh"
"What you talking about" he replied grinning acting all clueless.
"You know what I'm talking about just drop it"
"Oh you mean Zion"
"He will be fine"
"But"
"Shhh" Xavier whisper placing a finger to my lips cutting me off.
"Enough about Zion already I want all your attention on me"
"Just focus on me" he whispered seductively kissing his way gently down my neck
And that sent shivers down my spine
I could help but moan slightly
But I want to kiss him, the feeling of his lips on mine.
I craved for it
"I wanna kiss you" I said breathing heavily lifting Xavier face away from my neck
"What's stopping you" Xavier said staring at me intensely.
I desperately placed my lips on his sighing contentedly into the kiss.
"Geez limah, you have no idea what you do to me"
"I have been consumed by" he whispered pulling me into another kiss.
A rumbling sound came from my stomach interrupting the moment.
"What was that" Xavier asked laughing.
"I'm hungry" I whine quite embarrassed.
And my belly made another rumbling sound agreeing to what I just said.
"Gosh this is so embarrassing" I grumbled sprinting into the kitchen.
"No it's not"
"It's cute" Xavier called after me still laughing.
