- Heather's POV

"Alright class it's time for lunch." I look about the classroom seeing all the kids put the papers in their desk. They all scramble to line up at the door. I stand at the door to lead them down to the lunch room. Luca is still sitting at his desk. "Class follow Ms. Beaman down to the cafeteria."

I stay at the door til they all walk out before I gently close the door and walk over to Luca's desk. He is looking down at the desk playing with his fingers in his lap. I kneel down beside him and gently rub his back. He looks towards me with a soft smile.

"What's wrong Lil' Man?" He just shrugs his shoulder. I mimic his action making him smile. I open my arms and he leaps into them swiftly. I stand up and continue to rub my hand up and down his back.

"Angel, will you sing to me?" He whispers laying his head on my shoulder. I continue to rub his back and begin swaying side to side.

Well I've heard there was a secret chord

That David played and it pleased the Lord

But you don't really care for music, do you?

Well it goes like this:

The fourth, the fifth, the minor fall and the major lift

The baffled king composing HallelujahHallelujah

Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Hallelujah

I feel him locks his arms around my neck squeezing me closer to him. I pull him tighter into me and kiss his head. I hear him whisper something but couldn't make it out. I walk over to the window looking out onto the playground.

Knock Knock

I turn back around to see the Dean standing there with a tall man. I instinctively press my hand onto Luca's back protectively. The tall man just smiles while the Dean looks confused at me.

"Miss Heather, George has told me that he has a meeting with you."

I look over to the man in question and take a step back still holding Luca firmly to me. My eyes staying trained on the unknown man.

"I don't-"

"Thank you Dean Talson for showing me to her class." The man says gesturing towards the door. The dean looks back and forth between us before deciding to take his leave. I glare at the unknown man tensing all my muscles. Luca has fallen asleep and I can't place him down. Once the dean is gone. The man closes the door and turns back towards me. He attempts to step away from the door but I back away. He halts his movements raising his hands in a surrender gesture. "Miss Drake, I apologize for the confusion. I am George, your assigned body guard."

My jaw slacks open. Xavier! I groan and feel the urge to stomp my foot but resist it. I look back towards the man who looks amused. "George is it?"

He nods his head and takes his card out of his pocket stepping slowly towards me. He lays it down on the desk near me and backs away cautiously. I grab it off the table reading it. It looks legit. I still study the man for a minute with a raised eyebrow.

"Ma'am, Mr. Sanford is in a meeting however when Luca wakes up. He will vouch for me." I nod my head and walk up to the man outstretching my hand.

"Don't call me Ma'am."

"What would you prefer Ms?"

"Heather, please." He shakes my hand and smiles gently.

"It's a pleasure Heather."

"I want you to know that I am not really comfortable with this." I say walking past him to sit in my chair with Luca still in my arms. George rotates following my movements. He crosses his arms smirking.

"Mr. Sanford said you would say something like that." I huff making him chuckle. The room gets quiet for a minute. "He cares deeply for you Heather. He is just doing what he feels is best."

I nod my head and begin stroking Luca's back for my own comfort. I look back up at George who has a grin on his face. I scrunch my brows at him making him answer my unasked question.

"I haven't seen Luca like this... with anyone."

I smile softly and leaning my cheek against his head. I close my eyes for a minute to gather my thoughts.

"Alright George, after work... I will need you to go with me to see Mr. Sanford" I stress Xavier's name.

"Of course Ma'- Heather."

-Xavier's POV

I received a text from George letting me know that my sweetheart wasn't very happy. I guess I should have let her be aware that I was hiring him but I knew she would object. I have had a long day and my assistant, Candace, has been acting strangely today. I just brushed it off and continue to work. It's been a rough day however it is coming to an end thankfully. All my meetings are done and I am just finishing up the paperwork for one our mergers.

I ring Candace letting her know to bring me in some coffee. She is quick and brings it swiftly in. I thank her but she continues to stand there for a minute. I look up and realizing she is staring at me with a glazed over look in her eyes.

"Candace, is there something you needed?" I ask placing the document down giving her my attention.

"I haven't heard from Lady Natasha lately." She says looking intently into my eyes. I raise a brow at her wondering what's this about.

"How is that any of your concern?" I ask reaching for the papers again. She places her hand down on my desk and lets her fingers trace the side of the desk. "Ms. Brown, what are you doing?"

"She is gone?" She is now standing right beside my desk. I turn towards her to tell her off when she leans down attaching her lips to mine. My eyes go wide and quickly push her backwards causing her to fall on her butt. I stand up with so much force that my chair goes flying back.

"How. Dare. You." I stress each word. Her eyes go wide and she knows she made a mistake. She begins fumbling to stand up.

"Xavier, she wasn't the one for you. She-"

"It is Mr. Sanford to YOU!" I raise my voice while she straightens out her dress.

"I have been waiting for 2 years for you to finally get rid of her so we could be together! She wasn't right for you. I can give you EVERYTHING!" She screeches out making me get more irritated. I open my mouth but my office door flying open stops me. I look towards the door to see Theo standing behind Heather. My sweetheart.

I see her eyes stay trained on me as all her muscles are tense. I glance around me to notice this doesn't look good. My chair is on the floor. The papers on my desk have since scattered on the floor. Candace is still breathing heavily with crazy eyes. I look back at Heather and my eyes plead her to see the truth. Theo looks shocked and is standing stark still. I take a step towards Heather but her eyes are still looking back and forth between myself and Candace.

Fuck.
