"Hey!" Augustine ran behind to catch up with her. "Wait up!"

As if, she scoffed. Now she would never talk to him after this. She was okay with being warned but threatening? No thank you.

​​

"Hey," he caught her arm and then turned her around. They were right at the door to the parking.

Adeline snatched her arm from him and then glared at thin. He had no right to talk to her that way! Whatever happened between the two of them, happened between the two of them. It didn't concern anybody else and he had to understand that.

"Look, I apologize.."

"Thank you very much for it." She smiled tightly and turned around again.

Augustine immediately sprang into action as he watched her leave. He held onto her arm tightly and pulled her back a little.

"Listen to what I have to say at least!" He hissed.

Adeline turned around and talked with sass. "The apology was enough. I do not need to hear anything more."

"Don't be that cocky." He practically snarled in front of her. "I am asking you to listen to me. That's it. And you are showing me attitude for nothing!'

"Nothing?" She threw his word back at him. "you practically threatened me if I hurt your friend! How would you feel if my friends did the same?" She asked. "When they threaten Xavier that he shouldn't even think of breaking my heart, how would you feel about that when you come to know about it?"

Augustine didn't reply. He continued to state at her who breathed heavily, looking highly pissed off by his presence. He liked like she could murder him any second.

So he resigned because he had heard the words and now Augustine could be in trouble, "All alright, I was wrong to come at you like that."

She nodded curtly, not moving away from her stand.

"I just wanted to make sure that you don't break his heart. Your last break up affects him."

Adeline sighed, "everyone is concerned about their friend. But that does not mean you start threatening everyone around them."

"I know and I apologize." He repeated. How many times had he apologized to his best friends mate? He had decided once it would only be his mate that he would grovel up to but here he was.

"I won't break his heart if that's what you wanted to hear " she tried to offer him something as the guy was apologizing not once but thrice. "But I cannot assure you of how this would plan out."

"I am sure it would be in favour of you both. I should not have come on to you like that, I just care for my brother and now you."

"Thank you," Adeline smiled one more time. "I would have to take my leave now. Bye!" She waved making her smile and then left.

Only this time Augustine didn't follow.

Reaching home Adeline gave a startled yell she saw Xavier sitting on the porch. He looked like he was waiting for her.

"Hey," she smiled and went straight to him. "How long were you waiting for?"

He smiled coming closer, holding his hands out he hugged her. "Doesn't matter. You are here with me." He hugged her tighter.

His hugs always made her feel calm and secured. His arms around her had always made her feel loved and they did so now too. She snuggled in as he continued to hug her. It just seemed the two of them. No one else mattered.

She loved this feeling of safety.

Xavier had happy, search that, he had ecstatic. This was the happiest he had ever been. His mate in his arms, willingly snuggling into him. He loved the feel of being hugged by her. It was the best feeling in the entire world.

"So," Adeline said pulling away. "how was your day? Did you prepare for your next exam?"

Xavier groaned loudly. "Why do you always talk about it. How about we talk about something different today. How was your day?"

Adaline giggled. He did not realise what he had asked about. "Why, my day was ok. I had my History exam."

Xavier immediately realised his mistake. He had asked about today and completely forgotten the fact that it was an exam which was the topic he had wanted to avoid initially.

"Sly fox," he narrowed his eyes at her. "anyways how was it?" He had to ask that. Human couples always did. Plus, he lived to listen to her.

"It was nice. I was prepared but it was tough given that it was another era I was learning and not my first one." She shrugged. Until unless you knew an era by birth, it was a bit difficult to learn it.

"That's good," he listened to her attentively. How peculiar was her habit of scrunching up her make whenever she talked of something she did not like?

"You up for food?" He asked with a raised brow and Adeline's heart rate immediately went up.

Hot! Hot! Hot! Hot! Hot! Her mind chanted. This sexy, sexy boy.

Oh her poor heart.

"Hey, you there?" He snapped his fingers in front of her eyes.

Snapping out of it, she immediately in a hurry answered him. "Yes, yes, I'm here." Shaking her head a bit, she cleared her throat. "anyway, what were you saying?" She gave him a charming smile.

He blinked at that. Not affected by her being cutesy and all. He simply answers instead. "I asked if you wanted to eat."

"Oh yes, I would love to eat." She nodded and answered. "I was thinking of going out and getting myself a burger."

He smiled in amusement and chuckled. "now why would you go out alone and have a burger by yourself when you have a handsome hunk of a boyfriend right here?" He winked as he flexed his muscles.

She giggled and shook her head. "I'll keep my bag inside or maybe I could take it with me?" She scrunched her nose as she asked him for his opinion. "I would have to go all the way up to my room unlocking every door and locking it back again. Know what I'll take it with me." She decided.

Xavier huffed and just took it from her, not wanting her to carry any weight. "Alright, little mate. Let's get you fed."
