Chapter 25

"Yeah." Cris answered me then turned to Nagi "Introduce yourself properly and apologize. NOW!"

Nagi pouted a little bit but did as she was told with a curtsey.

"I'm Neveah Nagisah Xavia Arivonese the younger sister of Cristiano and Xavier Arivonese." she said curtseying "It's a pleasure to meet you. Forgive my diva like attitude."

That's right! Xavier told you he had a sister! That's her? She's really cute and she looks like then but a carbon girl copy of Xavier!

"It's fine." I smiled at her "I'm Royalty. Royalty Seraphina Lemeire. It's a pleasure to meet you too."

Neveah held out her hand to me and I shook hands with her and I saw her smile for the first time. Xavier walked into the kitchen shirtless and Neveah pointed to him without turning around.

"Have you met the man whore I call my older brother?" she asked me

I stifled a laugh as Xavier looked at me and pulled his scarf out his pocket. He whipped Neveah on her shoulder.

"Of course she's met me and no I'm not a man whore but unfortunately I'm your brother." Xavier groaned "Oh C. I'm going out tomorrow so take over. I'm re-piercing my ear as its closing backup"

"Alright." Crissy said "Be a man and bear the pain."

Xavier rolled his eyes and put his hand around Neveah's shoulder

"Get off you beast!" Neveah said trying to shake him off

"This is my younger twin sister Neveah."

TWIN SISTER!

I choked on air.

That's why they look alike Royalty. Neveah is Xavier's younger twin.

"Oh by the way," Xavier said to me "You seem really happy today. Anything I don't know about?"

I blushed a little.

What's this warm feeling with Xavier? Am I falling for the mafia boss?

"Hey are you free now?" Neveah asked me excitedly

"Yeah." I answered

"Really?" she excitedly said hopping around on one foot "Let's go downtown. I've got to go to the salon so you can come too and help me chose a hair style. Let's go."

She grabbed my hand and pulled me a step and she turned around.

"Don't you want to go?" she asked me

"I-I-I want to b-but...." I trailed off and looked at Xavier then looked away "I can't. I'm not allowed to step foot out this house."

"WHAT?" Neveah asked me in surprise "Why not?"

"It's Xavier's orders." I answered her

She looked at me sadly.

"Oh." she said softly "I'm all alone as usual. I'll see you around Royalty."

She ran off and I saw tears in her eyes as she ran out. Cristiano and Xavier looked at each other and at me while I was staring at the floor.

"Why didn't you go?' Xavier asked me "I thought I told you, you could go?"

"I thought you cared even if I didn't?" I questioned folding my arms

He looked at me blankly then a slow smile appeared on his face and Jianan, Geo and Cristiano looked at us in amusement. Xavier came closer to me and put an arm around my waist and his thumb rubbed my bottom lip. Butterflies were invading my stomach and his warm chest was sending shocks down south.

What on earth are you doing to me?

He leaned in and kissed my cheek sending intense pounding down south and butterflies swarming my stomach.

Why did it feel so different with Xavier? With Damanico, I felt nothing but a normal kiss but with Xavier I felt butterflies and shocks. Why was it so different?

I laid down on the grass and looked up at the evening sky until I fell asleep. Rain started to fall and I woke up and stared at a flower while the raindrops fell on it and the flower opened its petals to catch the water.

"What the hell are you doing?" a voice asked in annoyance and I turned around to face Xavier standing in the screen doorway "Royalty it's raining. Get the hell in here!"

I did as he ordered and went into the kitchen and he closed the screen door. I shivered a little and he shook his head at me.

"Really you ass?" he asked "Sitting out in the rain. You'll catch a cold idiot!"

He was scolding me but I could see he actually cared about me. Something was different about Xavier. Really different from the don't-care-ish-teenager I had met a month and a half ago. We were alone in the kitchen as the others hadn't come down for dinner as yet. He took down two cups and poured hot water into them.

"Cocoa or milk?" he asked me

"C-cocoa." I answered shivering furiously

He put milk and cocoa into both cups and added sugar. He put the cups on a tray and shouted for Lethe who came instantly.

"Bring these up." Xavier ordered and he took hold of my hand and pulled me out the kitchen and up the stairs to his room.

Lethe came up a little while after and set down the tray then left. Xavier took off his shirt and threw it to me.

"Change into this." he said "It's dry and warm so you won't shiver that much."

What in front of him?!

He read my mind.

"I'll turn around." he said doing as he said and faced the wall

I hesitated a little but did as he said. I took off my shirt and skirt and threw it on the ground and put on his shirt and let my wet hair fall down my back.

"I'm done." I said softly and he turned around.
