Jean just stood there in silence. All she could think was, His name isnât Xander! Itâs Xavier!
Alex, sensing the awkward silence introduced Jean for her, âHer name is Jean Cabell. She doesnât usually get stage fright like this.â
Xavier nonchalantly replied, âIts fine. I have been known to have that effect on women. Oh and here is some wine.â He handed over a small bottle of very expensive, very old wine to Jean.
Somehow they all finally ended up inside and the wine was put down and the beer was pulled out, which Jean and âXanderâ declined. The intense game of poker began and went on into the night and was wrapped up around 11:20 after âXanderâ had swindled them all out of a small fortune of about one hundred bucks.
Everyone began cramming into Jamesâs truck, griping about their lost cash when âXanderâ announced that he was going to stay back awhile and talk to Jean. They applauded him for his bravery, too drunk to wonder how he was going to get home. The soberest of the six, which was Hana drove them out Jeanâs driveway and towards civilization, and Jean was stuck alone with Xavier⊠again.
âOkay. Now that all of the humans are gone, letâs get down to why I am here because that has obviously been bugging you, besides the fact that I dyed my hair.â Xavier said, since, as he said all of the humans were gone so she could call him Xavier now instead of Xander.
âExactly, and now I can call you Jenn.â He said.
âPlease stop reading my mind. Iâm not in the mood.â Jennifer said, stomach fluttering at his use of her nickname.
âWell, that state of mind can easily be alteredâŠâ
âXavier.â Jenn warned, butterflies dying in the acid in her stomach.
â... with some blood and wine. Really Jenn, you shouldnât be so quick to judge.â Xavier said, scolding her playfully.
âYouâre kidding right? Human food is disgusting!â
âNo I am not kidding and that is why you add the blood. If you want to eat human food just add blood in the case of another liquid. So whereâs your stash? We already have the wine.â
Jennifer grabbed her key for the bedroom and went to unlock it, with Xavier close behind. Key in the lock she turned around and said to him, âI would really prefer if you stayed here.â Pointing to the exact point on the floor where he was standing, and walked into her bedroom and pulled out two bags of blood from the fridge. As she walked back to the door he asked, âWhatever do we need two bags of blood for?â
âIâm hungry.â She calmly replied as they meandered back into the kitchen. Reaching up to one of her cabinets she pulled out a black coffee mug, but Xavier walked over and gently grabbed her wrist.
âNo. You wonât need that. Where do you keep the red wine glasses?â Xavier asked as he took the mug from her hand and returned it to its place on the shelf.
âDoes it look like I have red wine glasses?â Jenn asked rolling her eyes at him.
âI know for a fact that you do. I bought you some.â Xavier said digging through her mostly unused but still full cabinets. Jenn hadnât felt a need to use more than one cabinet after she dug out the things that she actually needed on a daily basis. Xavier continued, âI didnât know if you liked wines, red or white, so I bought you glasses for both.â
âReally? In actuality Iâm still sixteen even though my driverâs license says differently. Do you think Iâve had much of a chance to sample fine wines?â Jenn said.
âWell your day of birth is coming up, which means that you will soon be seventeen, and about the wine, I guess I started to believe what that license says. I promise though, you will absolutely adore this wine, or at least thatâs what Gregor thinks, and he is just about as close to a wine expert as you could possibly get.â Xavier said, flirting with her ever so slightly as he pulled the correct red wine glasses out of the cupboard.
Xavier motioned for Jennifer to sit at one of her fairly unused bar stools as he opened the red wine with a pop of the cork. The preparing of the wine basically included gracefully pouring the wine glasses half full with the wine (which she was apparently going to adore), cutting open the top of one of the bags of blood, and filling the glass almost to the top on both glasses. After the concoction was partially stirred, both of the liquids settled odd because of their differences so when you drank it you sometimes got more blood than wine or more wine than blood, but none the less it was the most absolutely delectable drink she had ever had.
âSo? What do you think?â Xavier asked.
âWell, Gregor definitely knows his wines.â Jenn replied.
âI have had this same wine many times, but never has it tasted as good as it has tonight.â
âAnd why would that be?â
âI had previously thought that, to get the full effect, that wine had to be savored in taste only, but I have now realized that that is false. To feel the full effect of a wine you must appreciate true beauty.â Xavier said in almost a whisper, never taking his eyes from Jennâs as he did so.
No matter what her brain had been telling her before she couldnât pull her eyes away from his nor could she ignore any longer the fact that she wanted this man, mind, body, and soul.
Xavier pulled his eyes away from Jennâs as soon as that thought had left her mind. By that time they had both finished their glasses of wine. Xavier took Jennâs from her hand and began to wash it in the sink as Jenn picked up the leftover bag of blood and returned it to the mini fridge.
As she walked back into the kitchen she asked Xavier, âWhat do I do with the wine?â She asked.
âYou can just keep it in the fridge.â Xavier said, as he walked to the door.
Jennifer started to panic a little, âWill you come back tomorrow?â
He chuckled, âDo you want me to come back tomorrow?â
Jennifer nodded frantically.
Xavier full out laughed, âOkay then love, Iâll come back tomorrow night around eight-ish. Okay?â
âYeah. Thatâll be great.â Jenn said, slighting breathless as the butterflies reincarnated in her stomach and she closed the door behind him as he turned away after he smiled at her one last time.
After she was fairly certain that he was gone, she thought to herself, He called me âloveâ. Oh God! What does that mean? âWell. I guess Iâll find out!â she said to herself after she crawled into her bed, exhausted after todayâs events.
Chapter 21
She only thought that he had left, but he had actually stayed until she had fallen into the deepest part of sleep. Even then he was still wary to leave his post in the tree.
It wasnât supposed to happen like this! He thought to himself. I only meant to be her guardian angel, but Iâm so stupid! I just couldnât stay away! I had to fall head over heels in love with the girl!
Xavierâs cell vibrated against his hip. After he jumped out of the tree as graceful as a cat, he answered the call, âXavier, are you almost done with those âerrandsâ that you had to do?â Gregor asked.
âYes Iâm done. Iâll be home in 20.â Xavier replied and then hung up. Gregor didnât know about his predicament, he wasnât about to inform him about it either. If Gregor knew that he still felt for the girl, he would never hear the end of it, but he just couldnât stay away. There was something about her that intrigued him. He couldnât stop thinking about the beauty of her deep lilac eyes with dark accents that made his heart melt, the silky smooth textures of her long, thick, ebony hair, and the fullness of her full, silvery moon, pink lipsâŠ
Yeah, he needed to get as far away from this woman as possibleâŠ
Like thatâs gonna happen. I donât have that much restraint.
Xander. Xavier. Xander. Xavier. God this is confusing! Jean thought to herself. For at the moment she was supposed to be Jean, but life had become much more confusing now that Xavier, Xander, had walked back into her life. Which was, in all actuality, only about eleven hours ago. Hmmm⊠âGod this sucks!â She yelled into her pillow. Lifting her head up out of the pillow she said, âWow. Thatâs actually literal!â A muffled âAaaahhâŠâ was also yelled into the pillow.
She had to get up and do something. It was already 11:30!
âPraise the Lord I donât have a job! If I did I would be soooooooooo fired.â After that obvious statement she felt lethargy nagging at her brain and she decided to give into it, not sure of what else she could do.
She ended up dreaming about the last week before she was thrown out on her own at her own request by Xavier.
âJennifer. I know that this is extremely boring, but it is also extremely important.â Xavier addressed her, for at this point in time he still had been Xavier, and not Xavier/Xander.
âFor the record, teach; Iâm not the one yawning.â Jennifer replied trying not to break out in a fit of laughter.
âWhat? Itâs not my fault! Youâre just a very boring teacher! Gregor explained it in 5 minutes better than you do.â Ava said, definitely bored but also having excessive amounts of fun as she teased the teacher. It the four weeks that they had both been âenrolledâ in âProfessorâ Xavierâs âclassâ they had become the best of friends.
âThank you dear.â Gregor said placing a kiss on Avaâs cheek, who was sitting to the left of him while Jenn was on the other side of Ava.
âHey! Not PDA in class.â Xavier snapped.
âThere are no Personal Digital Assistants in the room! And why for the love of God, do we have to sit in these stupid little desks?â Gregor voiced his usual
