Avery’s pov

His unwavering gaze keeps me rooted where I am and I peer at him unblinkingly. My fingers grip the door harder. “Then who,” I whispered, unable to resist asking him this question. “Who do you want?”

His eyes bore into mine, deep and intense. The air around us is electrifying, so clogged with tension. “You know who I want Avery.” He confessed, looking away. “But can’t have.”

I opened my mouth to speak, only to close it back because I was at a loss for words. “You should probably head inside, it’s going to be a mean downpour again.” He refers to the change in weather and I looked at the sky. He was right, the rain was about to start again but I know he and only told me because he didn’t want me to further question him.

For a the first time, I understood. As I looked at him, really looked at him, I understood. It was clear he was inwardly battling something, his gaze wouldn’t allow me to see it, but the way his demeanor was is clear.

I can’t bring myself to further grow the tension, so I only nod and thanked him once more for the ride. Pushing him more would only push him further away, and I did not want that.

As I got out of the car, his voice once again pulled me in. “Don’t forget, six a.m sharp. Wear something you can workout in.” His eyes are forward, not looking at me but somehow I feel as thought he was fighting himself not to.

“Okay,” I breathed out, closing the door softly and skipped to the building as little rain pelts on the concrete. Before I could fully get in, I could not resist and glanced back.

His eyes are on me. Intense even from the distance between us. I shivered, rolling my lip between my teeth and ripped my eyes off his and hurried inside. Tomorrow was a new day, a new day with him. And knowing that he wanted me, somehow eased me. He may not want to act up on it yet, but I had every intention of making him cave in.

I wanted Xade. The mysterious guy who felt so familiar. Like no other. I wanted him. And I was going to get him one way or the other. He was mine.
