Xavier drove us to a very secluded place, it had a huge gate and all around it were very tall walls. Impossible for anyone to climb on, it also had electric poles on top of the walls. He punched in some code to his phone and the gate slowly opened.

I caught a glimpse of an estate and my breath hitched. I took a moment to take in the splendor of it all, as we drove in I couldn't help but stare at the lush green garden held with a beautiful French-style mansion at the center.

I didn't dare guess how big the inside would be and how many rooms this whole building had. I doubted this was Xavier's go-to house. I'm guessing he moved us here just for our safety and I couldn't help it but to smile.

It now made sense why the location on the map was "Woods Estate." It was basically in the woods and it was an estate, if you see what I did there.

'𝘞𝘪𝘯𝘬'

After gathering my thoughts, he stopped at the entrance of the building and I waited until he walked over to my side and opened the door. I got out of the car and once again gasped at the height of the door. Freaking gorgeous.

He rang the doorbell and a female voice rang out, "Woods Estate, how may I help you?"

He spoke in a courteous tone.

"I'm back Ava. Open up." She immediately squealed and I tried not to listen to them. Feeling a little jealous, I took the opportunity to look around once more.

The door opened to a middle aged woman who looked to be in her 40's, Xavier doesn't look like he's into older women.

'𝘚𝘩𝘶𝘵 𝘪𝘵 𝘙𝘰𝘴𝘦, 𝘴𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘣𝘦 𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘮𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳.'

My subconscious yelled. What a killjoy.

He led us inside the building but not after embracing the woman warmly. She looked up to me and a warm genuine smile spread across her face.

"You brought home a girl Xavier?" She ended her sentence as a question which made me squint at her.

"Ah let me introduce you both, Rose this is Ava. She's like a mother to me and she's the one in charge of Woods Estate. She manages the property, and Ava this is Rosaline. She'll be staying here for a few months due to some issues, I hope you'll be nice to her and treat her like you would your daughter."

She pulled me in a gentle hug and I hugged her back with a smile on my face.

"If you need anything Rose, anything at all. Don't hesitate to call me okay?"

"Nice to meet you again Ava." I said shyly.

"Let me show you to your room." Xavier interrupted us. And I followed him.

He led me further into the house and I tried my best not to gawk at the lavish decor and layout of the place. I had enough time to check everything out but I have to be careful not to break anything.

Xavier led us both past the long ass stairs into a luxurious looking corridor at the top of the building, lined with unique-looking paintings. All new collections.

So Xavier loved artworks?

He opened a door and the big queen-sized bed was the first thing i noticed. When I entered, the next thing I spotted was the beautiful balcony outside the sliding doors, where a cast-iron garden set stood waiting to be used.

I turned to an amused looking Xavier and smiled sweetly at him. It was more than beautiful, he really did a thing with the place.

"Thank you." I smiled.

"Get some rest now, dinner will be ready in about 20 minutes." He nodded curtly and walked out of the room, leaving me to my thoughts.

What the hell just happened? Are we back to our old selves? What was that attitude about.. I shook the thoughts off and unpacked my luggages.

I opened the large door by the left side of the room and gasped at the large closet that was filled with all kinds of clothes, shoes, bags, and even underwear. When did he have the time to get all these and how did he know my sizes. I'll definitely ask him about this later. I put my things away and took out a fresh red lace panties and marching bra.

I opened the other door by the right side of the room and a low scream escaped from my mouth. A big bathtub graced my sight and i squeaked like a little girl. I really needed this bath right now, there were also a few necessities like shampoos and conditioners, clean towels, body lotions, toothbrush and paste, wipes and cotton wraps. And to my greatest surprise, bath bombs!!

I immediately prepared myself a warm bath and took my time in washing my hair and shaving off my overgrown hair around my body parts.

I got out of the bathtub and wrapped a towel around my wet hair, and also around my waist. Walking out of the bathroom, I went straight to the closet in search of something comfortable to wear. I remembered I was having dinner with Xavier and Ava so I had to pick something comfortable. I chose a hoodie and shorts and walked out of the closet.

Closing the door, I screamed at the top of my lungs. Xavier was in my room, sitting comfortably on my bed while typing away on his phone. My scream caught his attention so he looked up from his phone and caught my frantic looking eyes. We stared at each other for a while until the realization that I was basically naked with a thick towel covering little to nothing hit me.

I wrapped my hands around my shoulders in a bid to protect the towel from falling and stared wide eyed at him.

"What are you doing in here?" I breathed.

"Dinner has been served, you were taking forever so I decided to come check on you. Thought you got clumsy and hit your head somewhere or worse died." He spoke in a boring tone. I rolled my eyes and walked to where my underwear were laid out on the bed.

"Um…you've confirmed I'm fine, can you now excuse me to get changed?" I asked in an unsure voice. He stared at me for a moment before standing up and walking to the door, but before he walked out he turned around to look at me.

"Nice choice of underwear by the way. I love red." He smirked and walked away from the room after shutting the door.

I blushed crimson red and immediately wore my clothes. I dried my hair quickly and packed it up in a messy bun and hurried down to the dining hall. I apologized for my lateness and sat opposite Xavier.

I thanked Ava for the food and started eating cause I was hungry. Finishing my food, I cleared my spot and took the dishes to the kitchen. I washed then and left them on the counter cause I haven't quite figured out where things are around the house yet.

I sat back on the chair and watched them both round up their dinner. I smiled at Ava and thanked her for the food again.

"You must be tired now, you can go back to your room to rest. I'll show you around tomorrow."

I glanced at Xavier to find him shoving a few portion of waffles in his mouth and completely ignoring me, I felt my heart burn and then I stood up and walked out of the dining hall to my room.

Is this going to be a norm here? Him ignoring and acting like I wasn't even here when clearly he invited me to come stay with him. Or did I do something wrong? I suddenly felt insecure.
