Chapter 450 Mistake
Xavier shook his head at Zac when he saw his expression and he walked away from him, but Zac followed him, wanting to hear what Ari said that was making him smile;
''Hey, are you home?'' Xavier instantly regretted why he left home to play golf with Zac.
''No, but I'll be back in a few minutes. You want to come over?''
Zac's eyes widened when he heard Xavier say that he would be home in a few minutes. Did he just ditch on his best friend for a woman?!
''Yeah, kinda, I made pizza, and I thought you might want some. But it's fine when you come back home...''
''Wow, I'm already on my way home. Don't go anywhere,'' Xavier said, and ended the call.
''Bro, really? You're ditching me for a woman?'' Zac asked when Xavier walked to the table and picked his phone and keys;
''yeah, I absolutely am.''
''You can't even pretend, man. Just don't come running back to me when she rejects you. I won't be here waiting for you. '' Zac said but Xavier did not reply, he just laughed and walked away.
Xavier drove home quickly. His eyes peered at Ari's apartment as he drove into his garage. Stepping out, he wanted to go straight to her house, but he stopped and looked at himself, he was still putting on the clothes he went out with, he wouldn't want her to think that he did not even go into his house, he just ran straight to her's the moment he came back.
Xavier quickly turned around and went to change his clothes into something casual.
He was still shirtless when he heard his doorbell ring. Throwing a shirt over his body, he walked to the door without caring to button it up;
''Hey!''
Her cute eyes stared at him excitedly, as her lips stretched into a smile; her bun was messy, and she was holding the pizza in a tray. Ari's eyes glanced at his bare chest before she looked back at his face;
Xavier's heart melted when he saw her; how could she be this cute all the time?
''I saw you drive in,'' she said as she walked into the house with the pizza.
''Come, come and have a taste. '' Ari said in excitement as she placed the pizza on the dining table.
Xavier smiled as he walked to where she was standing;
''Is this your first time making a pizza? '' he asked, given how excited she was. It seemed like her first time making one.
''Yeah, how did you tell?'' Ari asked,
Xavier chuckled; ''it's obvious. '' he said and took a slice and bit into it.
Ari's eyes widened as she watched his expression; ''how is it?''
''Wow, it's tasty; '' Xavier said and ate some again.
''Really!'' Ari asked, as she took a slice of it and ate. Her face turned sour immediately;
''it's salty. '' she said, chewing on the pizza.
''Is it? But it still tastes great. '' Xavier commented as he finished the one he was with and took another slice.
Ari stared at him. He must have had super great pizzas all his life, although she had put her time and energy into making this. It should be the worst pizza he had ever tasted. But he did not show any disgust, he just ate it as though he enjoyed it.
Ari knew it was not good because it could barely pass her throat. Stretching her hand, she took the one in his hand.
''It's salty, stop eating,'' she said as she placed it back on the tray. Her mood dwindling.
''It's your first time making it. You don't expect it to be perfect on your first try. It's good for your first time. '' Xavier tried to console her but Ari lowered her head; she felt a little sad, not because it was not good but because he had said that to make her feel better.
''Hey, hey... '' Xavier closed the gap between them and tilted her face so she was looking at him; pushing the strands of her hair behind her ear, he said;
''This is the first time I've been this excited about a pizza. So I really like it. You don't have to feel bad.''
He spoke tenderly as he stared into her eyes. Ari's heart raced, she could hear the loud banging in her ear, as he held her so close to him.
Her eyes dropped to his lips, and she gulped. He was staring at her lips too, with the same fiery gaze.
She wanted to kiss him. Badly.
Ari could barely think of anything else apart from the man in front of her at that moment. Her insides burned, and she knew if she did not kiss him, she would not be fine.
So, shutting every warning in her head, she leaned into him and kissed him.
Xavier's body froze when he realized she had kissed him. He wanted her too severely, but he did not want to scare her away by going first. But seeing she had taken the first move, he took over from there.
Tilting his head to the side, he kissed her back; Ari moaned as she melted in his arms. His lips opened her mouth and their tongues touched.
Xavier's hands pushed the tray aside, and he lifted her up, so she was sitting on the table. All the while their lips did not leave each other.
His hands slid down as he caressed her back, the other hand going underneath her shirt. She was not wearing any bra, so he felt the warm side of her soft breasts.
Ari moaned as she pulled at his hair, her eyes rolling backward.
Xavier cupped her breast, his fingers gliding over her nipples; his lips left her mouth and kissed down her neck, nibbling on it.
And that was when Ari got herself,
''fuck!'' she screamed as she pushed him away, ''no, we shouldn't be doing this, no.''
She said, stepping down from the dining table; fear riddling her;
