I stood and discreetly made my way to dad. I was not looking at my front and I mistakenly bump into someone.
“O my god! I am sorry.” I said without looking up.
“It’s is fine don’t sweat it!.” The person said and left. I look at the retreating figure, there is something familiar about her but I can’t say what. I kept on walking until I reach where fad and his colleagues are standing. I greeted them and dad introduced me to them. I whispered into dad’s ear what mom sent me to do. Dad excused himself of his colleagues and went in direction to her place.
Just as I turned to go back to my seat, I saw Alissa standing in her glory.
“Claire! I knew it was you that I saw.” Alissa chanted.
“You look beautiful by the way.” Alissa complimented me. I felt like is is just saying it out of courtesy. Because standing next to her, I look invisible. Her dress is a handless ball gown with gold freckles at both the top and bottom of the dress. The gold complimented her blonde hair.
“You look beautiful too!.” I sincerely told her.
“You didn’t tell me you where attending this event. I thought we are hands. Friends don’t keep this away from each other.” Alissa hold her hands around her chest.
“ sorry! Dad company is in charge of organizing the program this year and so all the directors where given a free entrance with their family.” I explained to Alissa. I felt a kind of warm inside of me when she referred to me as her friend.
“Cool. Where are you parent?”. She asked. I look at our seat and mom and dad are not there. I sight them on the dance floor dancing with each other.
“Since your parents are busy with each other, let me introduce you to my family.” And before I could protest, Alissa drag me to where there are seating down.
“Hey Xander guess who I found!.” Xander who was during something on his phone looked up and made eye contact with me. He is wearing a suit just like all the other Avila men. His hair in the front is styled to the side.
“Wow! The two of you need to stop eye fucking each other!.” Alissa said in a low voice that only I could hear her. My ears widened at her words and I look away from him. Although Xander still kept his eyes on me. The table comprises of only four people seated. The Gray Avila. That’s what is written on the table so I guess is for there family alone. Only Xander and a woman who I guess is there mom is seated at the table.
“Mom this is Claire. Claire my mom”. Alissa introduced us. The woman turned to look at me with a warm smile on her face. I now understand where they get their beautiful from. Their mom looks like a goddess.
“It’s nice to finally meet you Claire, I heard wonderful things about you!.” Their mom greeted me with an angelic voice.
“Thank you Mam!.” I said because I found myself lists of words.
“No need to thank me. And buy the way, your cupcakes are amazing!.” She complimented.
“What cupcakes?.” I thought for a minute and I started to blush deep when I remembered that I baked Xander some cupcakes a week ago. So that means that his mom knows about it. I wonder what she thinks of me.
“Thank you Mam. I will bake it some day for you!.” I offered.
“That will be nice if you. Do drop by the house when ever you wish to okay?.”
“Yes Mam!.” And after that, I excused myself from there. I went out of the hall and into the garden. I looked for an empty bench and sat there far away from the noise. I am usually not a fan of loud musics.
I am a little bit sad that Xander did not even talk to me. But why should he? It’s not as if we are friends or something. I blame the stupid crush I have on him. He has been so sweet to me that I can’t fe but start to develop feelings for him. I know a lot of people will think that it not possible to like someone with in two weeks. I use to think that to. But we can never understand the way of the heart. I just hope I don’t get hurt at the end. But with what I heard about him and lack of interest In girls, I think I am going to end up hurt. I just need to keep the feelings to my self.
“Do you mind sharing your seat?.” I look up to see Xander standing at my front.
“Sure it’s a free seat. You don’t have to ask!.” I replied him a little harsher than I intended to.
“Wow! It’s sound ask if you are angry with me. Did I do something wrong?.” He asked.
“No! Not at all, I am just wondering why you are speaking to me now.” I answered in a hurry voice. I notice that he only speaks to me when we are alone together but not in the public as if he doesn’t want to be seen with me.
“What to do you mean by that?.” He asked as if he is shock by my declaration.
“Well, I am talking about the fact that you only talk to me when we are in alone but when ever we in the mist of people you do as if you don’t know me. Is like you are ashamed to be seen with me. I am not forcing you to talk with me. I ..” I am cut off with something pressed to my mouth. My eyes widened up when I realized that Xander is kissing me. My heart started beating very crazily. He nibble my lower lips with his mouth. For a minute, I didn’t respond before I started moving my mouth against his. He suck on my lips causing me to morn into his mouth. He used that opportunity to stick his tongue into my mouth and kiss me with so much passion. After about five minutes, he stopped kissing because I was out of breath.
“You talk too much!.” Xander stated in a husky voice. His forehead is still press against my head.
I heart skipped a beat he said that.
“Is that the only reason why he kiss me?.” I read in novels how a guy usually kiss a girl to shut her up.
“Is that why you kiss me? To shut me up?.” I asked his as I put some distance between us.
