When Jessica woke up in the morning she felt her head bang so much she wanted to lay back down. The thoughts she had carried with her all night were exhaustive and she could not think about how she could go about it. She needed to make breakfast but she needed to avoid Xavier. She would also need to go into the room, have her bath, and prepare to go out. Her heart pounded in her chest as she thought about what she had to face. She opened the door and peeked out. The house was silent except for the little noise by the staff. They were always awake before her and did their duties. They made her work easier too. She tiptoed to the kitchen. The reason she did that was unclear to her but she did it anyway. He could be downstairs today. When she safely made it to the kitchen she sighed in relief and closed the door. Her hand was still on the door when she a voice that startled her behind her. "Why are you closing the door?" Of all the voices in the house she wished it was any other pers

"What's wrong?" "Hmm?" Jessica hummed and whipped her head to Leslie who was sitting there. "You've been out of it all day" Leslie explained popping some store-bought chips in her mouth. When Xavier had hurriedly left the house in the morning she felt weird and could not stop thinking about what he was thinking. "Just have a lot on my mind with the opening of the restaurant" Jessica lied. These days she was getting better at lying. She used to want to tell Leslie everything about her relationship with Xavier but how could she go ahead and tell her what happened last night? She was taking full responsibility without asking anyone. She was at fault after all. She was the one that made them play that game. She should have found any other way to get the answers she needed from him. "Jessica?" Leslie said with a clap of her hand. "You are so distracted I doubt it is the restaurant that got you like this" "It's a lot and with my aunt that's around. She has been a pain" Jessica added

Xavier finds himself drunk. Brian took Xavier to the bar with the hope of getting him drunk and making him spill the reason he was like that. Leslie had told her husband that Jessica had been out of it for the entire day and was refusing to tell her what was wrong. "Life is unfair" Xavier slurred. It was a rare occurrence to see him drunk. He held his liquor very well but he had ordered the strongest drink there. He took a couple of cups before he could not sit up straight any longer. "How so?"Brian felt a little tipsy but it was only because he tried to catch up with Xavier as he drank and also tried to space himself because of carrying the drunk man home. "Many things don't go according to plan and everything is hard" he continued with a slur and ended with a hiccup. "Yeah no kidding, how else can life be for the richest man in the city" Brian rolled his eyes. Sometimes he envied his friend. He had access and authority over the city just as the mayor did. Some major news som

"What did I do?" Xavier asked like a kid throwing a major tantrum. "You know what you did, sending me home while I was drunk. What if I did something to Jessica?" "What could you possibly do to your wife that would be so wrong?" Xavier fell silent. It was not wrong for a couple to engage in romantic activities but he and Jessica were not like that. They had never been like that. "It is even your fault I was drunk. Why did you take me to that bar?" he asked angrily. "I thought you needed a drink and I was damn right" "Whatever," Xavier said shutting him up before he could continue rambling on. "Are you going to be coming into the office today? It is a little way past your normal resumption time so I had to confirm your availability for any scheduled meetings" Brian asked "I won't be coming in today" "Why? Do you have a terrible hangover?" "Yes and I owe my throbbing head to your diligence to make me drunk," Xavier remarked slyly. "Then I would reschedule every meeting slated f

"Thank you so much for the meals. It really changes my perspective about you" Jessica said as she used the napkin to wipe down the table. "Your perspective about me?" Xavier echoing what she had said back to her made her realize what she said. She was not supposed to say that out loud in any way and most especially not to him. "What do you mean by that?" he asked. "It's nothing, just drop it," she said quickly standing to her feet with the box in hand and walking towards the trash can. "It can't be nothing. Your perspective about me is important" Xavier said standing up to follow him. "It's nothing really," she told him again and dumped the content in her hand into the trash can. "Hmm," he hummed. "I don't believe that. There is no way I can believe that" "Well you know my perspective of you is the same as every other person out there who knows you one on one" "What is it?" "Are you trying to pretend that you don't know or do you really not know?" "Definitely not pretense,
