For the people - II
"What?" Xavier barked out after staring at her incredulously. "What did you just say to me?"
Adeline licked her lips before nervously repeating what she had said. "I said I think we can do it for the people."
His eyes narrowed. " Have you fucking lost it?" He stood up from his chair. " How did you even manage to think about that?"
She shrugged quickly. "It's something we can do about it. We just have to sleep once. It could be like a one night stand?"
He scoffed, "Yeah, no."
"What? Am I all of a sudden so disgusting that you cannot even sleep with me?" She spat, irritated by his attitude. "How come you want to do this for your people? I would totally understand if it was me standing on the other side and refusing to do this but why are you running from it? Are you afraid that once again you might catch feelings and want to be with me?"
"Adeline." Xavier warned but she didn't step back.
