Chapter 52

"Have you arrived in there, X?"

Rachel was now sitting cross-legged on the sofa, facing forward at a laptop that was on on the table. Middle connected with a video call through a feature provided by Google.

On the 14-inch screen, Xavier's tired face is displayed against the backdrop of the city of Berlin behind him.

"Yeah, I just got to the apartment." Xavier spun around, showed Rachel around his apartment, then ended up flopping down on the bed.

One of Xavier's arms he bent under his head, making it a cushion. While one other hand raised his phone in the air.

"I feel pretty tired you know, Rachel, especially before I went to Germany I made love to you first," he teased. "It's good when I am tired like this, I hug you until sleep."

"Xavier!"

Rachel's face lit up. Suddenly she covered her rosy face with the sofa cushion next to her.

"Oh my gosh, Rachel! You just got teased like that and you're really blushing."
