Chapter 38: Burden
Xavier strode towards Beatrix, "Call me if anything happens. I’m just a phone call away. It was nice meeting you, sister-in-law." He said, and broke out into a chuckle when he saw her face reddened with shyness.
"Let me go get a towel to clean you up. You have sweating a lot."
Beatrix finally said when they were left alone in the room.
"Aww Bea- are you trying to say your fiancé looks like shit right now?"
Beatrix nodded, "Yeah such as a shame he was really a handsome gentleman."
A thin smile curved her lips, and Damien suddenly desired to kiss them.
"Ah I’m glad at some point my fiancé found me attractive. I hope you won’t abandon me. I don’t always look like this. I can be...handsome, again."
Beatrix chuckled and shook her head. "I will be right back."
"Nooo...don’t leave me alone please." He said, staring at her.
Color sprang to her cheek, setting her entire face on
fire as her gaze fell to the floor. It was only then that Damien realized his lips had betrayed his heart. He sounded like a clingy kid.
