The night wasn’t over yet, and there were plenty of chances to kiss her. She hadn’t touched her food much and he was worried a kiss wouldn’t be where he would stop tonight.


    "It’s a good thing I dressed well for this confession. For a second I thought we were going mountain climbing," she joked. Selene was relieved she wasn’t too overdressed. The dress fitted her and the atmosphere.


    Xavier chuckled.


    "Why would we go mountain climbing at night?" He wondered.


    "That was what I thought too. I had to call Kace in case I was too overdressed because someone didn’t tell me where we were going," she responded, giving Xavier a side eye which he responded to by chuckling even harder.


    As they dug into their meal, both felt at ease. The confession of their feelings had lifted the tension between them, making their interactions feel natural andfortable once again.


    Since it was already dark outside, the air was starting to get chilly.


    Immediately, Xavier led Selene into the house.


    It was cozy and warm. The interior design was kept simple as if a normal middle-ss family lived there.


    ’I guess this was what Xavier meant by getting away. He wanted to live the normal life of a normal person even if it was just a few days,’ Selene thought to herself.


    She couldn’t feel but love the ce more than his mansion.


    The house was empty, but it still contained the warmth his mansion didn’t have.


    Xavier grabbed Selene’s hands, leading her upstairs. She stared at the room, which was also cozy with a king-sized bed centered in the middle.


    From the looks of things, it seemed they would be spending the night there.


    "Do you want to sleep now or do you want to watch a movie?" He asked.


    "Watch a movie."


    It was still too early, barely 10 pm.


    "In that case..." Xavier walked to the closet and pulled out a shirt with shorts. "Change into this to feel morefortable."


    Selene took the clothes while Xavier excused her. She stared at his broad back until he left the room.


    Selene brought the clothes to her nose so that she could smell his familiar scent, and she sighed in satisfaction.


    Quickly, she went to the bathroom, took off her makeup, and showered.


    When she was done changing into the clothes, she left the room to look for Xavier.


    Selene bumped into the nanny who served them their meal earlier.


    "Please, do you know where Xavier is?"


    "He’s in the theater room, dear," she said, giving her directions to the theater room.


    Selene thanked her and left.


    The old woman couldn’t help but stare at her, d that Xavier was finally settling down.


    Selene saw Xavier setting up the movie while rows after rows of seats were set behind. It was like a mini cinema.


    He’d already changed into somethingfy as well. When he was done, the both of them sat down to watch the movie.


    Selene could see Xavier watching her from the corners of her eyes.


    "I’m sure the movie has something more interesting you should be watching," she said.


    "Not at all. I’m looking at someone much more interesting than the movie." His reply had her turn her head to stare at him in awe.


    ’When did he start making such pickup lines,’ she wondered.


    Before she could think of a reply, Xavier had already inched closer to her and nted his lips on hers.


    Instinctively, she wrapped her hands around his neck, her finger digging into the thread of his locks.


    Xavier pulled her closer, inch by inch, closing the gap between them.


    When he was satisfied, he pulled away, leaving her breathless.


    "Let’s concentrate on the movie," he smiled, knowing fully well she wouldn’t be able to concentrate on anything at all.
