…Mekayla POV…

I watch in horror as I see my brother walking my way. It's clear to me that my perfect brother has had one too many and is clearly out to make some trouble and that trouble is heading my way. I quickly straighten myself and mentally prepare myself for what's about to happen. He's never been happily married ever since I told him about his wife and now, somehow he blames me for his failure of a marriage.

I look back at Xavien that's sitting next to me and then it hits me. My brother is probably going to take a crack at him too.

"I'm so sorry, Xavien"

He looks at me as if to ask me why I just said that and then my drunk brother arrives at our table.

"Well, well, well…if it isn't my little sis and the bad boy of the town. You're doing well for yourself, sis, not even in town for a day and you're already out to get some?"

As I watch her bite into her lip, every sensation in my body shoots straight to my core. I no longer have just a desire to protect her, but there is a far greater desire that wants me to make her mine. And to make it even more of a torture is the way she sways those hips from side to side. This time it is me that bites into my lips and a soft growl escapes my lips.But as I get lost in the fantasy that is her, I see Tyler come from the other side of the floor.

    …Mekayla POV…I watch as Xavien walks away hesitantly, but then I see him wince while grabbing his side. Tyler must've hurt him somehow. Damn you, Tyler! I'm happy that Xavien saved me from most likely getting a beating but now, Xavien is the one that got hurt. It would be some kind of miracle if he ever speaks to me again. My life is such a mess, and my family, well, I guess that speaks for itself after Tyler showed him their true colors.I walk toward Tyler lying unconscious on the ground. I'm not sure what to do, should I help him in the car and take him home? But then there's a high possibility that I would get the blame for the state of his face and his drunkness. Or I could leave him on the ground, and hopefully he'll forget that I was even involved. As I stand there to decide what to do, it's clear to me that I would get the blame for this no matter what I do, so I decided to escape while I can.As I get into my car, I see his friends come running

But then there is Scrooge, the ghost of the past, the present, and the future. Well, the question here is, did she come to steal Christmas, or is she a ghost of my past? Whichever one, she is definitely not welcome. My present is firmly in place, and the only woman I see in my future is Mekayla. Yeah, I am being a bit optimistic, but we have become fairly closer tonight...Until now...And then my present becomes even more real, for she has spotted me and is now making her way over here. I guess if I went and hid away, someone would have told her where to find me anyway. I am just relieved that Mekayla did not see her with me, but then again, it is quite a nasty thing to do, given who she is. My father would have frowned at my behavior and told me to play nice as he always reminded me so very often.Then she is finally right in fron

    ...Xavien POV...Why does Mekayla keep running away from me? We have this connection; I can feel it. It is burning deep inside the inner passages of my heart. She has touched my soul in such a gentle way; all I desire is to be near her all the time. This playboy with the ego and cocky smile has been brought to his knees by this exquisite beauty.

    ...Xavien POV...With every step I take away from Mekayla, my heart is crushed into small pieces. Every bone in my body wants to turn back and take her into my arms. I need to protect her and not turn a blind eye to what is happening. She does not have to be alone even though she insists that she should. I am not a man that walks away from a woman in need; having to leave her like that goes against everything I stand for.And to make it even worse is the man I have to leave her in there with. This man just had her pressed up against a wall, and believe me; it is not in a good way. Who knows what else he is capable of. What is up with the men in her life that treat her this way.

I should have knocked him harder than I did.So as I walk back to the table, I see Molly look at me in a cheeky way and smile."I hope that you did that to him.""The man i
