*Jade's p.o.v.*

After what felt like an eternity the car finally stopped infront of something that looked more like a garden or something and the walls boundary around it with large gate. There hung  a sign board writer in bold letters, "No Entry. Private Property."

I look at him. "It's a private property." I said.

"I know." He shrugged innocently.

"We can't go in."

"Who said so?"

"It's written on the board."

"So?"

"So we can't just barge into someone else's property."

"That's true but we can when it's your private property."

"It's your?"

"More like my dad's."

"Okay." Well how was I supposed to know about the properties his father owned.

A guard came running and greeted us as he opened the gate. Xavier without a warning interwined our fingers securely and possessively. Like he was afraid I will just disappear in the air. It would be a lie if I said I didn't feel the sudden spark run down my spine. But I knew I had to pretend his touch meant nothing.

He slowly lead the way and making sure to keep it slow with me. It was like we had the whole time on earth. It would be a lie if I said I hated it.

As we walked I observed the place which more looked like a forest.

Why would anyone have a forest as private property?

To be honest, it wasn't an actual forest. It was small compared to normal woods. It was beautiful. We walked which felt like forever we reached near a lake. It was beautiful.

It was a beautiful lagoon. It was dark but the fireflies made the place more beautiful than ever. I didn't even realize when Xavier stood behind me wrapping his arms securely around my waist.

"It's beautiful." I whispered.

"Not more than you." He whispered near my ears. I felt my body heat up. But refused to show it.

He then gently covered my eyes with his palm. And whispered, "Look up."

"How can I see? I am practically blind."

"Ugh...you know what I mean. Head up." He groaned in a softly.

I turned my head up. He slowly ripped his palm away. And the next thing I saw startled me.

The stars looked so pretty that you didn't even need lights to see around. The reflection of the stars brightened up the lake as well.

A sudden cold breeze hit me making me realize Xavier wasn't by my side anymore. I look around but don't find him.

I felt something something beneath my shoes I looked down to find a paper. It read;

Just follow the path...
X.

I turned around to find a path made by small lamps guiding the way. It seemed to be endless. Yet pretty.

He really knows how to be romantic...

I kept walking following the way. After a good 5 minutes walk I reached at the end of the way. The beautiful tall trees passing by. The chilling breeze hitting my body.

I should have worn something that covers more...

I soon stopped when I lamp path stopped but I was left mesmerizing the view infront.

Lamps hung from the tree afew LED lights on the ground. Beautifully decorated.

How much money did he spend on all these? Damn! It definitely too some effort. Wow! Who does that just for a freaking date.

I walked afew distance not knowing where to go now. Till I noticed a paper stuck on the tree.

Turn right....
X.

And I turned right to see Xavier standing there looking all dashing as his handsomeness screamed. Only if I were your ordinary girl I would have definitely fallen for him. But I just don't feel anything, nothing.

Yes, he makes me feel some sort of spark. But do I have any sort of feelings for him? No. I don't have neither do I want to. It's just a stupid 'date' I agreed to come due to an impulse.

I was pulled from my thoughts when Xavier made his slow faze towards me and did not stop till we were inches apart. We both spoke nothing for awhile but just let ourselves be.

His hand made it way to mine and interlocked each other.

"Come." He whispered near my ears.

He walked towards the direction he was standing awhile ago. We walked somewhere which seemed really dark but you could spot the lake.

We reached at some point in the dark and Xavier snapped his fingers. The lights turned on. The view infront of me was so beautiful that I could only admire. There on the platform on the side, under tree sat a small and beautiful wooden table with a flower vase standing in the middle.

Quite romantic I might add. He gestured towards the table taking the hint I walk towards it. Xavier pulls the chair for me like a gentleman.

He really is a keeper. Why'd his girlfriend cheat on him?

Guess some people are just not worth being loved. And I understand every bit of it. Some people just show up in your life just to ruin it.

I sat comfortably murmuring "thank you". He sends a grin and unexpectedly kisses my cheek. I startled with the sudden action but soon relax for some unknown reasons.

"Did I ever mention how beautiful you are?" He whispered near my ears.

"Yes you did." I say trying not to stutter or let him see the effect he has on me.

"Good. Cause you will have to get used to it." With that being said he kissed my cheek again and sat on the chair across me.

I could feel my cheeks heating up. I touch them to cool them but seems like it wasn't helping. I usually don't care what people do or say about me. But why is he an exception.

Weird right!

But I know I shouldn't let him have this much effect on me. I will have to keep pushing him, before he breaks the wall and finally finds out how weak and pathetic I am.

There were afew dishes on the small table like Alfredo, Nettle gnudi with wild pesta, gnocchi with parsley, butter and samphire, etc...

He served the dinner on my plate first and then his.

We silently ate the dinner. And I must say it was the best italian dinner of my life. Like just taste these dishes. Man it will float in your mouth. I didn't even realize how much I ate. But I know I just kept eating like a pig.

You can't blame me it was delicious.

"Thanks for the dinner it was delicious." I whispered.

"Well your welcome angel. And I am glad you loved my dishes." He said with a wide smile like he got the whole world in his fist.

"Wait! You made this?"

"That's correct, Angel." He nodded.

"Wow! Tastes like a professional cook's dish." I shrugged. He just smiled in return.

~

After the dinner Xavier held my hand again and lead the way. I was still unsure as though where is was taking me like you can see he refused to tell anything. After a good 5 minuets walk we reached near a lagoon. And trust me it was way beautiful than the previous one. There were lights in jars which where indeed hung from one tree to another. I could see a projector and a white screen infront of it.

Just opposite to that there was a tent like are, which is not really like a tent but yeah!

It was more like a sitting place. And trust me it was beautiful. Infront of the tent there were wood kept which look like was for bonfire. He squeezed my hand lightly snapping me out of hypnotic beauty and creativity infront of me.

He gave me a gentle smile with questioning eyes. I could see his shoulders a little lifting due to nervousness. There is no doubt that he is nervous about me liking it or not.

Well only if I could describe how beautiful and breathtaking it was. But me being the egotistical person I just murmured, "It's beautiful."

I know I might look like a bitch to use only one word to describe it but trust me I can't help it. I just can't show anything. Words were never a media though which I could show my thoughts. But hell he just not only mess with my brain but also tries to break my walls and make me feel things.

Yet, for some reasons I am letting him do so. And I don't really have a real explanation for it.

I don't know what to do. It's the first time anyone who I have known less than 3 months, did something like this for me. I don't know what this feeling is.....

I mean I shouldn't feel anything, right? I shouldn't care about anything or anyone, right? Then who is hell is he? I hate him for making me feel, yet I can't hate him.

We sat on the mattress of the tent while he ran had brought a huge tray along with him. He placed it infront of me. It was filled with my favorite treats. My mouth was legit watering.

He lit the bonfire. And asked, "So which more?" He had afew DVDs in his hand.

I looked to find;

The notebook.

Titanic

Beauty and the beast

The fault in our stars

Paper town..

I chose Beauty and the beast, as it had loads of memories with it. I still remember it was the first disney movie that Mom, Alex and I watched together. I still remember mom always saying how love is the most beautiful feeling on earth and how love can change your life and make it beautiful. But she forgot to mention love also comes along with pain. Little did we know that it would also end up being our last movie together. Unfortunately Mom died exactly two days after the last beautiful memories.

I observed Xavier running around enthusiastically. He seemed so excited, lost in his own world. He seemed to have finally won a treasure today. To my knowledge I have never seen him this excited or happy. I sometimes hate him for this, because I am jealous of his perfect life. No pain. No worries. Just happy, happy. Oh! How I envy him.

I just him still looking hot as always but tonight it was really like a blessing to see his real beauty under the moon light. Mom once told us a persons' real beauty is only visible under the moon light. And now I get what she meant.

I felt the cool air brush against my cheeks. My afew hair locks waving along with the air. The bonfire dancing in the air. Can this day get any better.

After putting on the movie Xavier came back with a blanket covered the both of us with it. His arms around my shoulder and the other around my waist tugging me securely. I loved the warm feeling of his body against mine. I subconsciously rested my head against his shoulders letting myself completely relax.

He then kissed my forehead gently. I loved the warm feeling of his soft lips against my skin. I felt a spark run down my spine. I never wanted this moment to end. After so many years of hollowness I felt a bit of warmth and I didn't want to let it go, at least not yet. If this is a dream I pray for it to never end.

We watched the movie in a comfortable silence. My head against his chest listening to the rhythmic vibration of him beating heart.

~

By the end of the movie Xavier literally finished I whole box of tissue paper. I mean I get it the movie is emotional at some point but seriously.

I can't believe I am on a date with a princess...

The whole time I kept rubbing his back trying to calm him down but instead he cried more. Right now his nose was strawberry red. His eyes glossy from crying.

Like bruh.... I shook my head knowing it's Xavier who I am on a date with. Like this guy never fails to amuse me. Sometimes he is mister possessive, mister I-am-your-friend, mister gentleman, mister softly. I don't know how many more of him is let for me to discover. But if there are I would gladly wanna see them. But for some reasons I am satisfied or feel glad that he is showing all of him to me.

I don't know what to think or say anything anymore...

"Sleepy?" He asked.

I nodded lazily like you can see he is like a comfy pillow you never wanna let go.

"Let's go sleep then." He whispered near my ears sending a chill down to my toe.

"But it's cold here how are we supposed to sleep here?"

"Darling, who said we are sleeping here? Like I told you before, I have everything arranged. Come with me." He gently pulled me.

I was too lazy so I refused to get up. I mean hey you can't blame me, I am too tired. I had a long day. When he failed to pull me up, he sighed in defeat and to my surprise he picked me up in bridal style and started walking. I didn't even bother to look where he was taking me. I just wrapped my arms around his shoulders and rested my head against his chest.

I don't know why I trusted his so much that I always let my guards down and he always managed so slowly break the ice around my heart. And I don't even make any attempt to stop him I just let him.

He stopped infront of a black van. I was really confused as though why he brought me to a van. I knew he was planning on putting me down and opening the van but me acting all immature I hugged him tight not letting him go. I inhaled his toxic scent which I knew was poisonous and addictive but I just wanted to savor it even if it was dangerous. He chuckled and managed to open the back door of the van.

And trust me I was stunned to see inside it.

(A/N: Just imagine it as a van)

It was legit like a bed. It looks so comfy that I jumped inside and lay they comfortably. There was a thin but soft mattress underneath with fluffy pillows and a very silky soft blanket. And in the middle there was a large human sized teddy bear kept. I just grabbed him and hugged him feelings the soft wool against my cheek.

I remember the last time I held a teddy bear was when I was 7. I felt my heart drop from the sore memories of my childhood. Every time I look back I never see a happy girl having friends or going to school like other normal kids.

"You look very cute, you know!" Xavier snapped me out of my chain of thoughts. He has a satisfied smile on his face. He soon came inside and closed the door. I look around to find all the windows and glass shields having curtains and Xavier took a pair of keys out and locked the doors.

He pulled the covers and patted me to lay next to him. Without any word I just layed in his arms. Stealing all the warmth I can from him. He pulled me to his protective embrace and kissed my forehead.

"Did you like the date?" He asked.

"It was amazing. But you didn't have to go this far for just a date."

"Oh! I had to. Anything for you. And trust me doing something special for you is always worth it." He cupped my cheek.

I looked up to make an eye contact. His eyes softened, and a gentle smile spread on his face.

"Why?" I asked.

"Because you are the real beauty I have ever seen. It's just not you physical appearance but you heart too. You like the light in the darkness. You are a true life angel without wings." He slowly drew circles on my cheek with his thumb.

Yeah! An angel who can't find her way out of the dark...

"Then you probably didn't understand me yet." I sighed.

"Why would you say that?"

"What if I say I have wings?"

"Huh?" He gave me a very confused look.

"Nothing I am sleepy. Goodnight." I rested my head against his chest.

"Hey! Angel! Look at me." He said towering above me. "I know you think low of yourself. And I know very well something has been bothering you since the very beginning. But I won't ask cause I can see how uncomfortable you become when anything related to it comes up. I might not know anything about what you are going through, I will never understand it cause I am sure I have never been through it. But whatever it is I will always be there by your side."

"You will hate me if you come to know the real me." I said bluntly and soon regretted it. But I still managed to keep my usual cold look.

"No matter what happens. I will never hate you. And besides it's the circumstances that are bad not the person. So show more love to yourself." He said kissing my forehead.

"So how was the movie?" He asked.

"Well it was good. And the best part was where you cried." I said mocking him.

"Hey you can't blame me. It was really an emotional scene."

"So how many people have seen you cry?" I asked.

"Well the pathetic side of me? Just Anna, Danny, Mama Ellie and you." He said innocently.

For some reasons I felt lucky that I was one of the people he trusted enough to show this side of him. But even though I wanna tell him about my past I know I can't.

"Hmm..."

"So tell me."

"I didn't understand a shit in the movie. I really don't understand why they even made a movie like this." I said in a duh tone. Well it's true, even though Mom told me the message from this movie I still can't get my head around it.

"Well the story says how love can bring a soul from dark to light. How love can change the world. How a small touch of love in enough to take the pain away. How the beauty's love changed the beast." He said sounding more mature.

Suddenly an image of mom's smiling face appeared infront of me, crushing my 'strong act'. I hate it. I hate that I am feeling. I wanna be numb, I wanna feel nothing. It's better not to feel anything instead of just feeling pain.

But I love pain, because it takes you to the point you feel nothing at all. And that's the best part. I will push him away like I pushed everybody else, I will block him away. I will lock myself from him.

Yes I will but not now, at least not this moment. Because I wanna savor every single warmth of it before I turn cold again.

If it's the last time, then just one last time. For one last time I will let my heart take control, just one more time....

We both didn't even realize how long we have been staring into each other's eyes. The next thing I know is his lips collided against mine. His warm cotton soft lips felt like heaven against mine. I moved my lips too responding to his kiss. His pulled me deep in his embrace to get more access and I let him. I devoured his sweet lips hungrily.

His hand reached to my butt and he squeezed it and I gasped, he took the opportunity and shoved him tongue in me. I didn't let him win either, we both fought for dominance while our tongues danced simultaneously. I nibbled his lips.

After a long make out session we finally pulled away panting heavily. I look into his ocean blue eyes, they were as mesmerizing as always. These eyes always gets me. I could see a satisfied smile spread on his pink lips which were now red because I didn't leave a single chance to nibble on them.

He leaned and kissed my forehead then my nose and surprisingly a peck on my lips. He lays back and pulls me to his embrace securely like I might disappear the next second. I let my head rest on his large comfy chest.

He would make a great pillow...

"Goodnight Angel..." He said.

"Goodnight." I murmured.

I shut my eyes too lazy to open them and let my muscles lose. The darkness slowly taking over me.

"I know Angel, you are trapped in a tunnel of darkness. And this coldness and darkness is slowly breaking you but I promise I will pull you out I will bring you to light. I will bring to life. Your heart will love and feel again. And that's a promise..." Those were the lasting words I heard from Xavier before the darkness took over me.
