The black sheep

Xander couldn't recover from what he had heard, he had a frown on his face that show how displeased he was. I moved closer to him and held his hand. "How about we both some fresh air" I said to him.

He looked at me and nodded. We walked to the swimming pool area and sat there for a while not saying a single word to each other. I knew he had a lot say and pour out, I just need to be patient and wait till he was ready to talk, who knows he might end up speaking about the obvious rivalry between Elizabeth and Alicia and also the supposed relationship the four of them shared.

I was so engrossed in my thought that I didn't notice Xander looking at me with a smile, what caught my attention was when he rubbed his hands on mine which were still interlocked.
