After eating desert everyone has gathered around to listen to Xavier's Cousin brother's children's musical performance. His cousin have two sons and one daughter who are triplets quite amazing and let me tell you that they are a bunch of cutie

All together, they played a musical trio where one is playing the piano, another guitar and their daughter is playing drums. Some people would think that their daughter is playing drums is bit weird, but I find it pretty cool because I myself like to play drums.

"They're so cute" I said to Xavier,who is sitting beside me and flashed me a grin.

"I didn't know Julia plays drums but, it goes with her personality" I couldn't agree any less. I took the sip of wine in my flute I think I had a couple of flutes tonight I usually don't drink, but I'm liking it's taste, it's not bitter. It's taste is quite mild with great odor and taste or maybe I'm liking it's shade of red.

Soon after that, everyone started to call it a night I talked to Eleanor about Wiley and how I want to take him with me back.

"That's so sweet of you but he had monthly appointments tomorrow, but I can bring him at the penthouse after that if it ok for you"

"Of course it's fine with me just give me a ring before arriving I'll be at home then"

"Definitely" after that I gave her a hug and went out with Xavier beside me. It was already past midnight so it was cold outside and blame to my memory I forgot my jacket plus I'm feeling pretty funny cause I have this sudden feeling of laughing. As I step forward I stumble while crossing porch.

"Susan how much did you drink tonight" Xavier asked while helping me balance on my feet. He kept his arms around my waist.

"Maybe 4-5 flutes" I answered him after thinking while caressing my arms for warmness.

"Oh god you know that you're light weighted still you drank that much?" he exclaimed while covering my arms with his jacket. His jacket smell like his cologne. I just shrug off at him while he is worrying and at the same moment our car came and the Victor open door for us.

After settling down inside the car. Luke starts driving. Xavier opened the partition of the car to seperate backseat from front. Music start to blast inside from the speakers. Surprisingly it was one of my favorite song Knew better/ forever boy by Ariana Grande.

I can't help but sing along it's beat gives me shivers but Xavier's jacket is keeping me warm. I know can't relate myself to this the song but passion of her voice is so approachable to me.

Say you could turn me on

Boy, but that's about it

You can say what you wanna

But I wouldn't believe it

You could write all them songs

That's the game that you play

Tryna right all them wrongs

But you can't make me stay

'Cause I see right through you, boy

And I—I ain't feeling you no more

I ain't feelin' you no more

If you knew better

Boy, you would do better

Can't nobody love you like I do

Baby, I could do better

Boy, if you knew better

You would do better

Baby, if you love me like I love you

Maybe we could be together

'Cause ain't nobody like me, ain't nobody like me

Ain't nobody like me, ain't nobody like me

Ain't nobody like me

Ain't nobody like me

Ain't nobody like me

Ain't nobody like me

Ain't nobody like me

Ain't nobody like me, baby

Never been with a boy more than six months

I couldn't do it, got too used to it

Ain't nobody ever kept my attention

They couldn't do it, yeah, boy, they blew it

But you showed me what it means to be happy ever after

In love forever

And you gave me the key to all your love and all your pleasure

Boy, you're my treasure

I keep singing along while looking outside the window and in back of mind imagining the scence coming in my head through every lines.

Oh, be forever mine, you and I

Oh, be forever mine, boy, all the time

You're my forever, boy

You're my forever, boy

You're my forever, boy

You're my forever, boy

Been friends for a minute

So you know just what I like

You know my mind

You done seen boys come and go

So you know what makes me cry

So you just wanna treat me right

But you showed me what it means to be happy ever after

In love forever

And you gave me the key to all your love and all your pleasure

Boy, you're my treasure

Oh, be forever mine, you and I

Oh, be forever mine, boy, all the time

Boy, mine, time

Boy, mine, time

You're my forever, boy

You're my forever, boy

You're my forever, boy

You're my forever, boy

But as much as I want this song not to end it has to. That's when I turn my head and look at Xavier who was looking at me intently to extent that I felt conscious under his gaze.

"You have beautiful voice" he said looking at my eyes.

"I-I was just singing along" I stuttered and I don't even know why blame his penetrating gaze.

"You never do good with compliments weren't you?" He smiled at me.

"Never" it was true blame my self conscious and my over thinking for it that I accepted the fact that I'm full of faults which is why compliments feels so foreign to me.

"I guess then I should compliment you daily so that you get used to those of course true ones and you deserve every" and with his simple words he made me blush like crazy.

"You look better while blushing it suits you" He pinch my cheeks.

"Shut up you don't have to" I said slapping my hands on my cheeks to hide my blushing cheeks and he starts laughing making me laughing too.

After that whole ride spent his passing out really cheesy and romantic lines to me. Giving me idea how he got so many girlfriend and I must say he is very good at it.

"You know I can't laugh anymore even smile" I said holding my stomach.

"I know right blame yourself you cracked jokes too" I know that oh god it hurts. Xavier keep looking at my lips.

"You can kiss the- " but before I say ground I walks on he pressed his lips on mine snaking his arm aroung my waist pull me on him. I wrap my arms around his neck while kissing him back blame alcohol in my system that I'm reacting that way. He was about to deepen it but I remembered that we were not alone so I pushed him away.

"We are not alone" I told him and he gave me 'are you kidding' look.

"I'm not doing this inside the car when our body guards are here" I told him firmly.

Soon we reached the building. We went straight to the elevator and went to the penthouse. Xavier unlocked the door and that's when I realize how tired I am. I was tired to extent when I don't want to walk upstairs to our room so I laid back on the living room couch after kicking off my heels.

"Susan come on get up" I hear Xavier saying while he was switching on the lights of the kitchen. I lazyly get up and walk up to your room bare footed and went straight to my welcoming soft bed and laid down getting inside the comforter. It feels like heaven. I gear Xavier enter the room.

"Susan are you gonna sleep in that dress ?"

"Guess yes I'm really tired I'm so not getting out the bed" I mumbled from inside the covers slowly after that I drifted off to sleep
