Chapter 43 His Words
He's kissing me passionately! Softly, I can feel his care. I did not respond. I don't know how, but I know I feel him, I want him. Suddenly, my lips move on their own. I'm kissing him back! Then, I felt him smirked in between our lips.
I suddenly pulled away "You have your kiss, now let me go." I looked at his oceanic blue eyes to see him staring at me with... love? No, I think it's not.
"I died yesterday." His face turned serious while staring at me intensely.
"I heard," I stated blankly looking away from his captivating eyes.
"And," he put some strand of my hair at the back of my ears. "you brought me back to life." his voice is so soft, I immediately looked at him. Does he know?
I can feel curiosity crept inside my body that my eyes held curiosity for a moment. He saw it because I saw his eyes turned shocked for a second.
"Me?" I blankly asked.
He nodded "I stayed awake as you said, my senses are awake until you kissed me... in my dreams." He cupped my cheek "Your kiss brought me back to life." He continued.
He thought it was just a dream... Good, I think.
I nodded "I'm late, I should be going." I pushed him, enough to give me space to leave and he let me.
I was walking in the hallway not far from the unused room. But I sensed him running then, a hand holds mine tightly with a force that it turns my body towards his chest.
Xenon is hugging me tightly.
"I won't leave you again. Promise me please, don't leave me." He whispered in my ears. What is he saying?
"What are you saying?" I asked curiosity crept in.
He pulled out "I don't know, I can't explain. But I don't wanna lose you, I can't lose you. I just want you beside me, I want to know you were there, safe. The moment I've known that I died, all I think is you... What if you will? I can't even think of it, I'm going insane!" He said sadly messing with his hair, he still looks so handsome. What?! Did I say handsome?
I put my hand on his cheek, it calmed him and he looked at me as he holds my hand.
"I may not be with your side always but please take care of yourself. Promise me, don't leave me, okay?" His eyes held worry and his voice is full of concern.
What's his problem? There's something wrong... he seems... threatened...
I caressed his cheek using my thumb while he's holding my hand "I won't leave. I will not die until you say so." Wait- did I just said that? Oh no. But I have my words and I already let it out.
Now, the list of ways to kill me was added by one.
1. Headshot
2. Straight to my heart
3. His words
He smiled a genuine smile. "Thank you."
I pulled back my hand and started walking. I decided not to go to my classes and sneaked out of the school for a run.
These feelings I have are new, why to a man like him? Why is he the only one who can give me these feelings? Who is Xenon to me?
I went back to our room at lunchtime and changed then I went to the restaurant. Those two will surely wait for me.
I opened the door and looked at the usual table of the two but some students are occupying it.
I sensed them in the middle and saw them sitting but not alone, they're with the Insigma Fighters...
"Where the hell is she?" Xenon asked irritated.
"She will come. Calm down. Tch." Cassy said while currently playing on her phone annoyed with Coby who keeps on playing with her hair.
Lucas laughed "Our Xenon is already matured! Calm your nerves, lover boy!" He teases.
"Calm down!? What if something happened to her? All classes had already ended." Xenon put his hands on his temple, calming himself.
"Tch. Nothing happened to her." Drena on the other hand is calm but glaring at Adrian who's acting innocent.
The students don't care about me anymore. The issues are not running about me and that's good. They didn't realize I am now standing behind their table, specifically at Xenon's back. Suddenly, Drena looked up and see me.
"See?" Drena proved her words by pointing at me.
Xenon stand up and turned his body to look at me, we're facing each other. He closed his eyes and take a deep breath calming himself. When he opened it,
"What do you want to eat?" He said using his soft voice which caused the boys to chuckle and the girls' giggles.
I took the vacant seat at their table which is beside Xenon. "Is this mine?" I looked at Cassy pointing at the prepared plate consists of foods, she nodded. Then I heard Xenon take a deep breath and sit back in his chair.
"Ouch!" Lucas reacted hurt "It's fine Xen, there are still so many girls out there." He said patting Xenon's shoulder.
I felt my blood boil again as I tightened the hold in my spoon. Anger. Why would I be angry?
Xenon might have sensed it as he holds my hand "I just need one and she's here beside me." He smiled.
Again my heart beats fast and Lucas whistled while the others smiled.
I take my hand out of his and started eating ignoring them.
"Let's eat!" Coby beamed and they all started eating.
At the side of my eyes, I saw Adrian poke the back of Drena's head and hide his hand fast while looking innocent.
"Stop it!" Drena shouted at her food annoyed.
"What did the food do to you?" Adrian looked concern glaring at the food.
"Agh! I hate you!" She shouted at Adrian.
"I love you," Adrian said softly smiling at her.
Drena looked down and continue eating, avoiding his gaze.
"I said enough!" Suddenly my attention was turned to Cassy who's looking at Coby with anger on her face.
"Can't you see yourself? You're so thin! You should eat more!" Coby equaled her anger and put another food on her plate.
"I'm not thin! My body is just enough and I'm sexy!" She yelled at him taking the food back and out of her plate.
Coby this time laughs "Sexy? Where?" he acted looking around the restaurant for something.
"Tch." She ignored Coby and continue eating.
"Am I still on the right table?" Lucas asked which made everyone confused except me who just ignore him.
"Of course, why?" Cassy asked.
"Because it's a table for only lovebirds and I don't have mine." He nagged.
"Whose lovebirds?" both of the girls asked acting innocent.
"Nevermind," Lucas said ignoring them.
Then suddenly my attention was turned to the gossip near our table. Two guys are sitting in it. I was stopped the moment I heard them talk.
