✍🏻🥹:Ella Eeza
Xavier was a stunningly handsome guy, the kind that could effortlessly capture everyone's attention. His chiseled features, coily hair, dimples, and piercing blue eyes made him almost irresistible. Chloe, on the other hand, was also a beautiful young woman.
For several days, Chloe couldn't shake off the memory of their encounter. She found herself looking forward to seeing him again, often taking walks in the hopes of running into him. Fate seemed to smile upon her when she spotted him walking his dog again.
This time, when Xavier approached her, Chloe tried to play it cool, but her eyes betrayed her excitement. "Hey, it's you again!" Xavier exclaimed, a bright smile spreading across his face.
Chloe turned to him, a hint of a smile on her lips. "Oh, you again."
They stood there for a moment, silence between them. Then Xavier broke the silence, his voice low and smooth. "So, you stay around here?"
Chloe nodded, her voice barely above a whisper. "Yes."
Xavier's eyes lit up. "That means we're next-door neighbors! Cool." He extended his hand, his gaze locked onto hers. "I'm Xavier, but my friends call me Xavi."
Chloe took his hand, feeling a spark of electricity as their palms touched. "I'm Chloe. I guess I'm still Chloe to my friends," she said with a smile.
Xavier chuckled, his eyes still fixed on Chloe. "Well, Chloe is fine by me. So, what does that make us... friends, right?"
They both laughed, their hands still clasped together.
As they spent more time together, Xavier got to know Chloe better, and they quickly became inseparable friends. To Chloe, Xavier was everything she had ever dreamed of – kind, attentive, and charming. She found herself lost in his eyes, captivated by his smile.
Meanwhile, Chloe's parents began to notice a change in her. She no longer complained about being bored, and her smile seemed to linger longer. She would often talk to herself or go out without saying a word,
leaving her parents wondering what was behind her newfound happiness, getting to know each other
as the days went by, Chloe and Xavier grew closer, their friendship blossoming into something more. They would spend hours talking, laughing, and sharing stories. Chloe found herself opening up to Xavier in ways she never thought possible.
As Chloe and Xavier's bond deepened, Chloe felt maybe this friendship should blossom into a stronger bond hoping both could fall for each other and become lovers, she tried opening up to Xavier about her feelings but couldn't, thinking he feels the same As Chloe spent more time with Xavier, she found herself falling deeply in love with him. She longed to take their friendship to the next level, but she didn't know how to express her feelings to him. Unfortunately, she couldn't confide in her parents about her relationship with Xavier, fearing they might not understand.
One day, Chloe asked Xavier about his family, and he opened up about his divorced mother. However, he seemed hesitant to discuss his father, and Chloe sensed a hint of pain in his eyes. "I'd rather not talk about my dad," he said, his voice barely above a whisper.
Despite the mystery surrounding his family, Xavier decided to introduce Chloe to his mother. As they visited his home, Chloe was warmly received by Xavier's mother, who instantly took a liking to her. However, things were different with Xavier's little sister, Emma. Emma seemed to despise Chloe, often making snide comments behind her back.
"Of all the girls in Olives, how did you end up befriending her?" Emma would say to Xavier, her voice laced with disdain. "What's so special about her?" Emma's words would sting, but Chloe tried to brush them off, focusing on her blossoming feelings for Xavier.
As the days went by, Chloe found herself caught between her growing love for Xavier and the tension with his sister. She wondered if she could ever win Emma over or if Xavier's family would ever accept her as a part of their lives.
Xavier's mother, Mrs. Thompson, was a kind-hearted woman who had always wanted the best for her children. She saw the way Xavier looked at Chloe and knew that her son was smitten. However, Emma's behavior concerned her, and she wasn't sure how to address the issue
"Xavier, what's going on between you and your sister?" Mrs. Thompson asked one day, her voice gentle but firm. "Why does Emma seem so opposed to Chloe?"
Xavier sighed, running a hand through his hair. "I don't know, Mom. Emma's always been protective of me, but this is different. I think she's just worried I'll get hurt."
Mrs. Thompson nodded, her eyes filled with understanding. "We'll talk to Emma, okay? Maybe we can help her see things from a different perspective."
