40) Falling for him!
Authors pov
It was late night and finally finished her night rutine. Xavier wasn't there, he left shortly after he dropped
her home.
The things has became silent after last night, no arguments, no fights or screaming on each other.
Xavier has became more patient with her, like he don't want to get angry on her anymore and most of
the time he is lost in his world. Planning or thinking something deeply.
Sarah still couldn't forget the moments they spent in car. He didn't broke the hug untill they reached
home neither he mind that she is on his lap. She can still feel his touch on her back and smiled at the
memory when he was trying to comfort her.
This is the first time someone has embraced her with love after her mother, unknowingly Sarah has
started getting attached to Xavier. The lonely depressed girl was in search of little warm place in the
dark and cold world which she has started seeing in Xavier.
Sarah combed her hair with beautiful small smile on her lips.
'He cares!'
She thought.
No one has ever done something for her which Xavier did today. She was getting weird but good
feeling when he was beating that man. The anger she witnessed today was for her and not because of
her. He was angry because someone touched his wife. he console her because she is his wife and he
cares. He cancelled his meetings for her because may be she is important. All the thoughts were
playing in her mind.
Still she didn't wanted to raise her hopes high, may be she is wrong. May be he can flip and this will
only hurt her.
She walked out of the closet and he was still not there. Her eyes snapped towards the door when it got
opened and Xavier walked in with blank look. He looked emotionless.
Sarah looked at him alert. He was shirtless, only in his black pants and was holding his shirt in his
hand. She caught the glimpse of blood on it.
'did he took off his shirt because of my phobia... He never mind coming in the room with blood on his
clothes before then why now...'
She thought but smile appeared on her face thinking he is being thoughtful about her.
She turned around and looked out of the balcony and saw few men carrying a dead body. She is smart
enough to know that it's Gomez and Xavier has killed him. She doesn't want to imagine how he would
have done it, scene from garden still lingers in her mind and gives her nightmares.
She lost the track of time while trying to tame her thoughts.
"Did you had dinner?"
Her thoughts got broken when she heard his strong masculine voice. She quickly turned around to look
at him. He was in sweatpants and shirtless like purposely trying to flaunt his perfect body. Few wet
strands of thick hair was resting on his forehead and she could smell the alluring fresh smell of
essential oils. Her eyes roamed on his face and body with admiration in her eyes. She was drooling
over her husband. Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
"I asked you something?"
Xavier snapped his fingers in front of her bringing her out of her la la land.
Sarah shook her thoughts aside and looked at him embarrassed while clearing her throat as he caught
her drooling over him.
"Sorry... I didn't heard you."
"I said, did you had your dinner?"
He raised his eyebrows.
Sarah nodded yes, he hummed blankly.
"Why do you care?"
She asked taking him off guard.
Xavier looked at her for a second and started walking without answering her question.
Sarah grabbed his arm stopping him.
"You didn't answer"
She mumbled making him look at her with intense gaze.
Xavier removed her hand from his arm and gently pinned her to the wall. His eyes landed on her lips
which still has a cut on it.
"Because you are my wife..."
He answered calmly while taking out the medical kit from the drawer.
"And no one can touch you while my name is connected with you..."
Sarah looked at him as he took the ointment and gently applied on her cut, his eyes didn't left hers as
he gently caressed her lips with his rough gingers.
"You are my responsibility and I can't see someone else hurting you when you are staying with me..."
Sarah looked at him with hesitant face.
"Was it necessary to kill him..."
She asked and he sighed.
"It was more than necessary... He touched my wife..."
Xavier answered nonchalantly as he placed the kit back in the drawer.
Sarah's lipa curved in smile listening word 'my wife'.
"Is it only about your reputation or you genuinely care about me?..."
She questioned and he looked at her.
"May be I do... May be I don't..."
He answered carelessly and walked towards the bed.
She looked at him with small smile as he tucked himself under bed sheet.
'handsome monster...'
She walked towards her side and slide beside him. They usually don't cuddle if they haven't had s.ε
and it was difficult for her to sleep now. On top of that Xavier snatched the bed sheet all to himself in
his sleep.
She tossed and turned and finally looked at him, it was cold and he had all the bed sheet for himself.
She grabbed the bed sheets and snatched it away from him. She was getting comfortable with them
but it again got snatched by him.
"Arrgghh..."
She Groaned frustratingly.
"Thanks for the help mister but no compromise in bedsheets..."
She said madly and pulled bed sheets from his hold.
The constant moments woke Xavier up and he turned towards her annoyingly.
"What the hell are you doing woman... Let me sleep..."
He said in lazy voice.
Sarah frowned.
"What the hell I am doing?... What are you doing, why are you snatching bed sheets from me..."
She complained.
"Because you are snatching it from me..."
He replied irritatingly.
"I am cold and you are taking large part of it... It's not my fault that you are big like mountain..."
She mocked.
He rolled his eyes.
"You think you are small..."
Sarah gasped at his mean words.
"At least I am smaller than you..."
She said madly.
"Sarah please sleep... I am tired and I have a important meeting tomorrow..."
He answered lazily.
She raised her eyebrows talking accusingly.
"So do I... But you are taking all the bed sheet and I am cold and you are not___"
"Fuck it..."
Xavier cursed. He slide her hand under her and flipped her on other side making her land in his
embrace.
"Now Shut up and fucking sleep..."
He said while spooning her and throwing bed sheet over their bodies.
Sarah's eyes widened when he held her close and making spark erupt in her body.
"Like this, I mean we are practically cuddling..."
She said looking at him but he has already closed his eyes.
"Well we have done more than this... This shouldn't bother you..."
He mumbled while digging her face in his neck to make her stop talking.
Sarah flushed red by his comment. She definitely had no problem to sleep like this. This is what she
wanted. She snuggled closer to him and closed her eyes embracing the warm sleep.
They both got ready in the morning, Xavier was calm minding his own business while Sarah was
surprisingly in good mood today like a teenage girl who has found new crush. She was occassionally
stealing glances at him and admiring him.
After breakfast she head towards her car to go to the office but the guards were not the men who was
usually guarding her.
"Who are you and where are they?"
She questioned confused.
"Ma'am they failed to protect you yesterday so boss has hired us for your safety... We will be your
security from now on..."
The guard answered while opening the door for her.
Sarah smiled and turned around to look at Xavier who was talking something to Ace.
"May be I am falling for you Xavier.."
She mumbled.
