The Badboy's Heartbeat [BxB] √

CHAPTER 47

JORDI ADKINS

There are more than seven billion people in this so called blue planet and perhaps more than nineteen million of those are walking the face of this city. I certainly don't know how the fuck did I end up becoming such a blind fool for chasing the person who used to make my life a living hell. I used to hold great grudge against this guy and if we were both thrown in a hunger games arena, he's most definitely be the first person that I'm going to run after.

But...

There's always the word but and somehow it just happened to me.

I have already fallen for the stupid guy, that's the 'but' that things had entailed. I have fallen for the very same guy who used to shove my ass inside the janitor's closet just to pour juice on my body. The guy who used to beat the shit out of me because he thinks that just because I'm the weaker man, he has the leverage to assert such a horrible attitude. The guy who used to make me cry under the shower.

But I was more than willing to give not only one last chance but three more chances. Who knows how many chances I actually have in my arsenal? Maybe five? Maybe Ten? Perhaps it's an infinite chance. Who would've ever thought that I'm willing to turn a blind eye and just forgive him as if I'm the most powerful politician just giving out free pardon.

Before my grandmother bit the dust, she also used to tell me the weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of a strong. I might be young and naive and surely, I don't know if she was right about that but she's mostly been right and wise with her life.

"How are you feeling, curlytops?" Xavier whispered behind me, his warm breath brushed through my neck. It's been almost an hour since he and I knocked on heaven's door and up until this moment I can't believe something finally happened between us.

"I-I think so." I replied and it's only because I'm embarrassed to admit the truth. I'm not really feeling alright physically and that's clearly because it was my first time and all I did was suck all the pain. He was very gentle with me and while it did help ease the pain, I still felt every thrust coming from his manhood.

I could feel Xavier's finger intricately tracing my shoulder blades and it was honestly unleashing another rush of heat into my body. "I'm sorry I was such an asshole." Xavier then apologized.

"No, I'm the one who should apologize. I was an asshole too."

"Yeah, we're both assholes." He chuckled and then there was a few moment of silence after that. I held his hand, slowly put it close to my mouth and gave the back of his hand a quick peck.

"It feels cozy." I began breaking the reign of silence.

"I wish we could stay like this forever." Gently inserting his fingers in the spaces of mine, Xavier spoke dreamily. "You're making me feel like the happiest version of myself that I've ever been."

I instantly felt flattered taking what Xavier just uttered into account. "You're making me feel the same way too."

I rest my head in Xavier's arm and he quickly wrapped his other arm around my still unclothed frame. I don't know how we ended up in bed just like the first time I woke up in bed with him. But it sure felt securely warm and cozy to be stripped naked and curled up inside the smaller spoon of the man that I used to hate. Before this drastic change of tides, I was always getting mad and frightened every time I see Xavier but now, he's all that I'm thinking about. I've been thinking about his mouth, his touch, his smile, his general presence. I have never felt like this ever before and I think this is what they call infatuation. I feel like I'm floating on cloud nine and I just can't get enough of Xavier.
