HIS STRANGE DAMSEL

Xavier’s pov

My eyes snapped opened as her lips were still on mine.

I didn’t know what to do at that moment– should I reciprocate the kiss or disengage from it?

Her lips were so soft on mine and I really longed to kiss her mercilessly. But, I don’t want to take advantage of her naivety.

I pulled my lips away from hers and placed my hand on my thumping chest.

I felt really confused. Why didn’t I take the opportunity to kiss her like I’ve always wanted?

And why did she have to put her lips on mine?

Really, I felt guilty because, she wouldn’t have kissed me if I hadn’t pretended to her that I didn’t know what she was talking about.

Even if I wanted a kiss from her, then it shouldn’t have been this way– because she’s unaware of what she just did.

“Why did you do that?” I asked, trying to sound stern but my low voice rather betrayed me because it came out low and not stern.

“I… Wanted you to remember what you did to me and I want you to tell me exactly what it means.” She said lowly and bowed her head.

“It’s something you’re not supposed to know. And let me give you a piece of advice, don’t go about placing your lips on others, so you won’t get yourself in trouble.” I huffed and rolled my eyes.

“You can leave now.” I ordered and pointed towards the door.

“But Xavier…” She whined but I shushed her shut.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

“Why are you being too inquisitive Delaney? It’s bad you know? It’ll only land you into trouble.” I reprimanded her calmly.

“Okay, I’ll just get going now.” She mumbled and started towards the door.

She turned to stare at me briefly, before walking out of my room.

“Argghhh!” I groaned and plomped hard on my bed.

I stared up at the ceiling and touched my lips, reminiscing on how her lips felt on mine.

Geez, really?

I’m starting to think like an high schoolgirl who just had her first kiss from her lover and boyfriend.

I smiled lightly and licked my lips, remembering how those soft lips felt on mine.

Truth be told, I really wanted to kiss her back so badly, but I just had to restrict myself.

I shouldn’t take advantage of her naivety. Even though, I’m kinda grumpy and arrogant, I still have a concience.

But seriously, I really need to get that brief– should I call it a kiss or…?

Eish! Maybe a lip to lip stuff.

Gosh, I’m going crazy and all thanks to that alien; Delaney.

I sighed and snuggled into my blanket and buried my face in my pillow.

Delaney’s pov

Why was Xavier suddenly mad at me for placing my lips on his?

Was it something I wasn’t supposed to do?

Why do I always make him angry?

When will I eventually make him to stop being mad at me?

He’s mean to me and I don’t like it.

I guess from today, I’ll try my possible best so as not to offend him.

I’ll be of my best behaviour and I’ll avoid making him angry with him.

Now thinking about it, I need to do something so he wouldn’t be mad at me anymore.

The plan I’ve got, I pray it works out perfectly well.

I’m gonna make him smile and who knows, he might even hug me and I’ll really love that to happen.

I need to plan this out perfectly so I won’t make any mistake.

Brielle’s pov

I yelled angrily and broke my dressing mirror and everything that were on my dressing table.

My makeup were everywhere including broken glass objects.

As I tried to go back to my bed, my feet came in contact with the broken glasses and I had to winced painfully.

“You’re only gonna end up hurting yourself so bad.” Blair said calmly.

I yelled angrily, ignoring the piercing pain on my bleeding foot.

“Calm down Brielle, don’t hurt yourself okay?

Come now, I’ll tend to your injuries.” Brianna cooed softly and wrapped her arms around my neck, but not tightly.

Tears rolled down my cheeks as I stared into space.

After drinking our wine and making merriment, we left the room to go check on Delaney and know if something bad happened to her.

I was so eager that I felt nervous as we approached the pool side.

To my utmost dismay, I was told Delaney was saved by Rio– though he couldn’t swim, and Xavier who actually made her concious.

They had left together and I was greatly pained.

I lost again!

I f*cking hate that s*it.

Brielle doesn’t accept defeats and I’ll definitely get to her again– I had promised myself inwardly as I seethed in anger.

I felt really bad that Xavier was there to save her, just when my plans were already going out smoothly.

Why didn’t she just drown, so I can wholly focus on getting rid of Chelsea?

“I have a plan Brielle. Why don’t we use Chelsea to get at Delaney and indirectly, we”d be hurting Chelsea too.

Let’s kill two birds with one stone.” Brianna smirked as we sat on my bed after she had tended to my injuries and wrapped a plaster on it.

“How do you wanna go about it?” I asked, finding the idea really brilliant.

“Just watch me put a call across Chelsea and we”d talk. You’ll hear our discussions and I’m very sure that she wouldn’t reject such offer because I noticed that, she doesn’t like Delaney.

And as for the three of us and especially you, you don’t like the both of them. It’ll just be exactly killing two birds with one stone at the same time.” Brianna laughed.

‘seriously Brianna, you’re so smart.” I beamed happily at her brilliant suggestion.

“I have her phone number, don’t even ask me how I got it. I always have my way.

I’ll call her now and hear whatever she has to safe.” Brianna smiled proudly.

“Okay, go ahead.” Blair and I chorused together ecstatically.

She took her phone from the bed and scrolled through her phone.

She clicked on Chelsea’s number and within just few seconds, the call went through and it started ringing.

Is Chelsea really gonna work with them to get rid of Delaney?
