Chapter 81 EIGHTY ONE
Xavier’s P.O.V

Irene came out of the changing room while fiddling with her fingers as she forced out a smile that revealed her dentals. She was wearing a blue fitted gown that was neither too comfortable nor uncomfortable and with the way she walked toward me, I knew that she had a lot of questions running through her mind at the moment.

I knew how hard she was dying to ask me about what I was up to.

“Are you comfortable in this dress?”I questioned as she bobbed her head and for a split second, it caused me to wonder about what I was doing there at the moment. Why did I suddenly pick a dress for her? All these were questions that left me in great ponder.

I ran my hands through my hair as I leaned in on the chair.

“I am comfortable with the dress” She responded, still fiddling with her fingers as she swirled her gaze around as if she was in search for someone.I knew who she was searching for and at that moment, I knew how uncomfortable she was.

“You are searching for Damian” I questioned, jerking her back to reality as she locked eyes with me and quickly ducked her head. Her pupils dilated as she gulped in air.

I shook my head vigorously before leaning in the more on the chair.

“Are you uncomfortable with me being here with you? If that’s the problem, then you should speak up now” I said, staring at her intently and when she locked eyes for the umoteenth time, she ducked her head,tugging at the strands of hair that momentarily obscured her vision behind her hair.

She opened her mouth to talk but she hesitated as she clamped her mouth shut and somehow, it caused me to wonder about why I couldn’t take my eyes off her. She bit the corner of her lower lips and even I was starting to get suffocated with the awkwardness that enveloped the whole room.

I was about to talk when she suddenly cut me short.

“Alpha Xavier, I would actually prefer that I do not try this on before you” She finally said, fiddling with her fingers as I fixed my gaze on her, staring at her intently.

“So?“

She raised her head after hearing the word that fell out my mouth. She had a surprised look on her face that depicted how shocked she was by my response! However, my response wasn’t for the fact that I wanted to stay against her will.

However, I was curious how she felt that I needed to leave since she said that I didn’t make her uncomfortable in any way and if she didn't wear it, how was she supposed to know that it was going to be a perfect fit for her.

“So?” She repeated with curiosity evident in her eyes as she blinked her eyes continuously. The way her pupils dilated kind of interested me and the only thing I wanted at the moment was to brush my fingers through her eyelashes.

“Yeah, so” I said, not taking my gaze off her.

“The thing is that I appreciate you for getting all of this for me but I think it would be safe to say that I don’t want any of this. This would make me feel so less of myself and the only reason why I bought that dress in the first place was because I was attracted to it. I am sorry for how I just left without telling anyone but getting me these dresses is something that i don’t really understand” Irene said with her head ducked as soon as she was done making her statement.

My eyebrows furrowed with confusion, not knowing the response to give to her as I watched her talk. As much as she was right, it would break my ego before someone like her.

“Yet you kissed her!” The voice in my head snapped as my face scrunched up, wondering what could have come over me for me to just kiss her like that.

“If I could remember clearly vividly, you didn’t come with any clothes and neither did you come with anything serious! The only thing you came in with was a bag back and I would be grateful if you could remind me about the reason why you didn’t come with any” I asked, brushing my fingers underneath my jaw.

I watched as she swallowed and I knew that she was probably contemplating what to say.

“So, can you remind me?” I questioned again with the annoyance and anger evident in my voice. I glanced at my time and somehow, the whole back and forth conversation that we had was starting to annoy and irritate the living soul out of me.

I was talking when she suddenly caught in while avoiding to lock eyes with me.

“Alpha Xavier, you said that if I shouldn’t come with any clothes and since you said that I shouldn’t come with any, I didn’t come with any like you said so I am confused about what you mean at the moment” She blinked her eyes a couple of times as she glanced off and fixed her gaze toward another direction.

“Don’t tell me that you can’t remember the key statement!” I almost yelled at her as she quivered in fear as her fingers shook.

She swallowed before proceeding to talk. “You said that you would get clothes for me when we arrive in Scotland!” She said hurriedly, making a sniffle.

I jumped to my feet in annoyance and sauntered toward her with my fist clenched by my side. When she saw how I sprang to my feet, she ebbed toward the wall as I caged her against it.

“When you know the words that I said, then why are you trying to turn me into a bad person?” I snarled at her in a calm tone.

She swallowed nothing saying her words as I used my other hand in gripping her by the chin, jerking her face upward in a bid to face me.

“Don’t think that I would allow you to have your ways because in the end, only I would own you!”
