"Good morning" I greeted everyone when I woke up from sleep. Beatriz was the first to return my greeting with a question asking me how was my night and I replied.
There seemed to be a festivity that is going to happen today cause everyone had been busy doing one or two things. I saw Xander standing close to the butler and he was giving out orders to him, the massage thing Xander went for really helped him recover cause now he was walking perfectly.
"How was your night?" I heard someone behind me ask after Beatriz had left me to go organize the shipment they received this morning.
I turned to see who it was with a cheerful smile on my face, "It was great thanks"
"And the baby?" Damon asked.
"He is fine or she is fine...." I was clueless on which gender to give the baby cause it wasn't yet time to do a gender reveal.
Damon laughed. "Hopefully she is going to be girl"
"So you prefer a girl to a boy?" I asked using an incredulous tone.
"Not really, I just feel a girl is less trouble than boys" he replied, Damon took a brief look at the door and gave a hand signal to one of his bodyguards. "Please excuse me" he said to me before he left.
I stood there for while watching the busy bees moving from one place to another arranging and disarranging things to get the right posture. The entire mansion was a mess as they prepared for what I have to know as the engagement ceremony of Damon and Alicia. The engagement party was supposed to be a small one but at the look of things it will be a lavish one with several guest, though the wedding is three months away it is a way to put it out there that Damon was engaged and no other female fly should get close to him, this was Beatriz sole idea and I am glad it is working for her.
I sat on the couch reaching out for the magazine on the table close to me, if I can't be of help at least I should do something with my time. Xander joined me on the couch while crossing his leg.
"What are you reading?" He asked cutting off the part of my cracker I was about chewing and throwing it into his mouth before he clapped off the crumbs from his hands.
"Don't do that next time" I warned him giving him hat cold vibe of which I knew he caught on. I picked up another cracker from the tray on the table and he stole it right out of my hand and chew it then laughed at me. "Is this funny to you?" I got up from the couch and went out for some fresh air.
Xander followed me all the way through to her botanical garden which was locked and I was left with a dead end with no place to escape to.
"Hey!" He held my hand back before I could go back.
What the hell is all this that I am doing. Why am I acting like a jealous girlfriend. Why am I even jealous!
"Priscilla is there something wrong? Why are you avoiding me and also cold to me? Did I offend you? Come on answer me, I really need to know so I can apologise"
Oh! This is why I am angry. Is he blind or can't he see that I have feelings for him and each passing day I dread having to hear that girl's voice from that day which kept ringing each time I see him. I also couldn't bear the fact that he didn't even bother speaking to me at all yesterday, a call per se might have been better.
"Priscilla? Speak to me"
"It's nothing...." I quickly looked for a lie to tell and the only one popping to my head was "Mood swings?" I dragged sounding a bit unsure. "Don't mind me, I just have been stressed that's all..... I see your feet has healed that's something we can talk about...." I said trying to switch the topic to him.
"I got this therapist... She is really good"
My eyebrows raised, "She?" I said with unbelief getting a bit jealous for no reason. My mind was bloody telling that this dude in front has not a clue that I was bleeding for him and here I am mourning over nothing.
"Yeah she helped me relax and it relieved, I could hook you up.... You always complain about stress......" He ran on nonchalantly.
"No.... Don't bother, I have something that can relieve me thanks anyway" I walked away from him before those lingering tears that didn't fall while I heard that lady's voice in his room eventually falls.
Although I was fast walking Xander still caught up with me. "I am not understanding any of this, is there something that I don't know, you know you can tell me right we are buddies and if you need something I will most definitely help out" he said staring deep into my eyes.
Buddies.... I was seen as a buddy to the guy I happen to like, oh can anyone believe my luck.... The world should know that I have just been friend zoned. Now I actually know how it feels to have refused Carlos' love, that guy must have been hurt like I was feeling right now.
"Tell me Priscilla what is it?"
"It's you..." I breathed out letting out that hot steam come out threw my mouth in form
of words. "You are the reason I am annoyed, angry and okay ashamed...."

If I did then I am so sorry, I sincerely...." "Stop it with the apology Xander! It's really not needed, you did nothing wrong.... It's me who isn't feeling well right now so please excuse me"
Xander held my hand back again. "Not this time, we are fixing this here and now!" "Fixing what!? The reason I told you is that I love you!!!" I shouted only to regret and to find out I just couldn't take it back.
Xander stared at me blankly and I knew it was a great opportunity for me to run and hide my face for the rest of my life.
"Forget what you just heard.... It was a slip of tongue" My swift anger disappeared immediately after causing me trouble leaving me to handle the aftermath all by myself. "No it wasn't, give me time to process this and I promise to get back to you" Xander walked away like a man who had just heard the worst news of his life and I couldn't be less stupid to let my anger get the better of me and now how am I going to face him especially when he will be in face all through today.
It's hurt so much that he chose to walk away than face it. Yeah it was indeed bad enough that I made my confession at a wrong time and place.
Nothing hurts so much than being rejected by the person you love, this really hurts as hell and I know you don't know how it feels so good on ahead and accuse me....
