Xavier

Chapter 18 - Reflections

Dante's P.O.V

I had kept my promise to Aurora that when I got to the Police Station that I would beat Xavier's ass.

It wasn't long before I reached his cell and the Police letting me inside it. "Well, well. Isn't it Dante Blanc. What brings you to my humble cell this kind of day?" Xavier blurted out dramatically.

I sat down on one of the chairs and skipped straight to business. "I want to know the whole story about you and Aurora. Better start from the beginning."

He huffed and laid himself on the bed and began his story.

"Well, the day I met Aurora was kind of a blurry one. I remembered we were at a coffee shop and I approached her, and we started talking. We exchanged numbers and the following day; I took her  out on our first date."

"Anymore after that?" I questioned rubbing my hands together.

He gave me a look, "Be quiet you ass. Let me finish. As I was saying, on our date, Aurora started dancing on me like really good. And I thought she was sending me signals to take her home and have my way with her, but I guess not. She totally was afraid of me that night and I liked it. She lost all hope in ever finding love and I was going to be the only man to touch her in such a way."

I snapped angerly his words. Before I knew it, I launched at him and started beating the living crap out of him. He tried shielding his face, but  my punches kept coming from left to right.

I soon felt arms dragging me off of Xavier and right before my right arm was taken away, I landed a hard punch to his nose that began bleeding.

"That’s for hurting Aurora you sick bastard!! You don’t deserve to be put in a mental institution. Jail is more welcoming for you!" I roared loudly. All you could hear was my deep pants and Xavier groaning in pain on the floor.

Jefferson came by my side in a flash, how did he come here so fast, I did not know. "Dude, what did he do to tick you off so much?"

The guards let my arms go and attended to Xavier, I just scoffed at them. I looked at Jefferson, grabbed his shoulder and led us out the police station.

We got in my car and I started driving back to the hospital. Jefferson noticed my tensed posture and quirked his eyebrows. "Ghee. Xavier hit a vein in you. I have never seen you so pissed in my life."

I sighed heavily, "That connard knew exactly what he was doing to Aurora," I gripped the wheel tighter and clenched my jaw, "Et il n'a même pas excusé à ce sujet."

(Connard means asshole. The French sentence means 'And he didn't even apologize about it.)

Jefferson's eyes widened and he tightened his fists. "I should have killed him."

Our conversation ended in silence until we reached the hospital.

Aurora's P.O.V

I was currently awake in my hospital bed talking to the nurse. She was updating me on my condition and saying that it wasn't severe.

Soon after she left, Dante came running inside and hugging me with Jefferson on his tail.

"Je suis tellement désolé amour. Je ne laisserai personne te blesser à nouveau." Dante started speaking in French which I thought was very sexy. (I am so sorry love. I will never let anyone hurt you again.)

I started rubbing my hands through his hair and kept kissing his face in comfort because it looked like he was about to cry again.

"I'm taking you home today Aurora. Not to the vacation house but our home. I already had your bag delivered there." I could only nod my head in agreement, Dante could surely move very quickly when he is against the clock.

I didn’t even hear when Danielle walked in the door. I looked at her and Jefferson speaking in the corner and he had the biggest smile on his face. Looks like someone likes a certain someone. I have to tease them about this when I get out the hospital.
