We Don’t Need To Be Friends

Selene halts her steps. She turned back to look at Xavier while her face looked no different than a tomato at that moment. 

"What did you say?" She asked, hoping she had misheard the first time and her mind was playing a trick on her. 

"What if I'm in love with you?" Xavier repeated. 

"You are not," Selene said. "You can't be in love with me," she added, staring around the garden to find words she could add but was interrupted when Michelle came out of nowhere. 

"Selene, Xavier. What are you two doing here?" Michelle asked through a forced smile. She had heard the question Xavier asked Selene and she couldn't believe her ears. 

'Here I am trying to make him notice me and she is seducing him,' Michelle thought to herself. 

"We were just talking," Selene replied before she limped back inside the mansion, leaving Michelle and Xavier behind. 

Michelle glared at Selene's back but quickly changed her expression when she looked at Xavier.
