"He's staring at you," my sister whispered, wide-eyed.
Now that I realised, I could feel someone's eyes burning the back of my head and as I turned around to see what my sister was talking about and my jaw immediately dropped whilst a cold shiver ra...
I smiled and looked at my reflection that was staring right back at me, nervous and excited. I took in deep breaths before I observed my outfit for the day. I wore a white v neck, flowery, lace long sleeve top as it showed off my cleavage. From the waist on, there was a belt-like that let the top of the skirt begin as it was floor-length with a train behind it. The skirt was just pure white, not puffy but slim, making my figure look skinny. My brunette, curly hair was done in a high pony tail, teasing the top part to make it look puffy with two strands on each side of my face to frame it. My makeup was done simply with a gold, shimmery smoke, eye shadow look and the lips were a matte, dark red.

"I'm just as nervous as you are," I replied, clasping my hands together to stop it from shaking as my eyes assessed the person in the mirror all over again.

"Where are we going?" I asked, arching my eyebrow as Xavier took my hand and led me inside his dad's private jet.
"It's a secret," Xavier answered with his signature smirk as he sat me down on one of the black, leather seats and himself, taking a seat beside me.
Shaking my head with a smile on my face, I nodded and leaned my head on his shoulder of his suit, realising that he had just returned home from work. Xavier's dad had given Xavier the title of CEO of the Walker's Company and his mom, giving me the title of hers. Now I never really had any taste in fashion or anything like that but his mom decided to give me her title instead of some stranger as she will teach me what is what and who is who, which I was really appreciative of.
"It feels like I'm carrying the weight of the world on my shoulder," Xavier whispered as one of his assistants approached us and had given Xavier his laptop.
"You're working now?" I questioned, bemused and kind of disappointed.
"I just need to go through my emails, it won't take long," Xavier whispered. "I promise."
"Okay," I whispered in response, yawning as I let my eyes flutter close.
"I love you Thea," I heard him whisper before his lips connected to my forehead, a smile instantly settling on my lips before the dark swallowed me whole.

"Thea, we're here," Xavier's groggy, husky voice whispered as I felt big hands grip my shoulder, shaking me alive.
I rubbed my eyes and blinked more than twice as Xavier rose from his chair, taking my hand into his before he led the both of us outside the jet. We were at an airport as the sun was already setting, returning back to it's cave. I yawned once more before a limousine pulled up in front of us, the chauffeur quickly getting out of his driver's seat before rounding his car then opening the door for us.
