Bella’s POV
“Andrew?”
Andrew was standing behind Mr King. What was he doing here? I went to him and gave him a hug.
“What are you doing here?” I asked him surprised. “Well my company is the event photography crew, in charge. So here I am.” He simply said. “Why didn’t you tell me?” I asked him shocked.
“Well I wanted it to be a surprise.” he said. “Surprise indeed.” I said laughing. He looked behind me. “Mr King right. Hi. I’m Andrew. We met the other day.” he said as he shook hand with Mr King.
“Xavier please.” Mr King said back. “Its so nice to meet you.” Andrew said smiling. Mr King nodded at him.
“Excuse me.” he excused himself and went off. “So the dress…” he dragged off. I started to glare at him. “Don’t you think this is a bit too much?’ I asked him.
“What? No. Anyway my target was you and your boss. And looks like it might be working.” he said eyeing suspiciously.
I just hit his arm. He started to laugh, which I joined in. We were talking for awhile when Andrew excused himself. I found the lady I was talking and started a conversation.
Xavier’s POV.
I couldn’t stand there and watch her with him. I just couldn’t. I excused myself from and went to the bar and got myself something to drink. I was looking at them.
She was laughing and smiling with him. Something I wanted to do with her. He is really a lucky person. I went back to pouring some drink. I am not going to drunk.
Just something to take my mind off.
“Xavier?” I heard someone call me. I turn to see who it was and it was Andrew. “May I?” he asked pointing to the seat beside.
“Sure.” I said. “Drink?” I asked him. He nodded his head. I poured him a drink. We both took a few sips. I know he wanted to talk about something. But he wasn’t going to.
“You like her right?” he asked me suddenly. I was confused. “What?” I asked him. “Bella, you like her.” he said knowingly.
I was shocked. “And don’t deny it. I noticed the way you looked at her. Like she is the only girl in the room. Like she was your everything. I have seen that look before to not notice it.” he said looking right at me.
“I don’t understand. Aren’t you her boyfriend?” I asked quizzically. He looked at me intently before laughing his ass off. I was getting so confused,
“Wait, wait. You thought Bella and I were couple?” he asked still laughing. I nodded my head. “My god, No! Bella and I are childhood best friends. I am practically her brother from another mother.” he said explaining.
I watched bewildered. I couldn’t believe it. They aren’t together. I was speechless. My facial expression was shocked, but inside I am doing a happy dance.
“Oh my god I was such an idiot.” I said unbelievingly. “I was angry. When I thought she was taken. And put her through so much.” I said as I put my head in my palms.
“Its ok. You can still make it up. Bella is definitely not mad. In fact, she has so much respect. When we talk, she will talk about how much she respects you and your work. She has a good impression on you. And its not going down anytime soon.” He said while patting my shoulder.
I looked up at him. “But I don’t know what is it I am feeling for her.” I said confused. “You are in love with her.” when I heard I froze. “W-What?” I asked unbelievingly.
“Yes you are. Like I said, I have seen that look. Its a look of love. You are in love with her man.” he said while taking a sip of his drink.
I cant believe it. I am in love. I am actually in love with her. “I am in love with her.” I muttered to myself. Andrew just chuckled at me.
“Why are you helping me?’ I asked him. “Because she deserve to be happy. And you are the only person can do that. Also, I am trying to make my Xalla ship sail.” he said chuckling.
I chuckled at that. “Go and get your girl.” he said while nudging me. My eyes instantly start to look for her.
I was searching desperately for her. And I found her. Without my constant my legs starts walking towards. Nothing is going to stop me from making her mine.
When I was nearer I realised a man was in front of her. “Come on, one dance pretty face.” he asked her. She was in discomfort.
“Sorry I am not interested.” she said. But he was persistent. I walked towards and instantly my arms went around her protectively.
“She said she is not interested.” I snarled at him. The moment my hand went around her, she shivered. I could feel it. But instantly relaxed. I smirked at that.
“Bella, can I have this dance?” I said staring into her eyes, right in front of this man. “Yes. Sure.” she said smiling, That instantly brought a smile up to my smile.
I brought her to the dance floor. I placed her hands around my neck while I put mine around her waist. We started to sway to the music slowly.
“Thank you for saving me. That’s like the 10th person who asked me to dance with them.” she whispered. My arms tightened slightly at that.
Damn it. I am not leaving her side from now on. Everyone is trying to steal my girl away from me. “Well you can’t blame them. You look like a goddess.” I whispered back. I sensed the shiver when I did that.
I smiled. Only I can make her like this. Her cheeks started to turn red. The speed of the song increased. I start to twirl her and waltz. She started giggling. It was music to my ears.
The song was coming to an end. When the song came to an end, I dipped her. When I dipped I stared at her. Her lips. They were inviting. So soft. So desirable. I couldn’t hold back. I tried. But I lost all control.
I kissed her.
