Xander's eyes searched mine, his gaze burning with intensity. "Transfer all your aggression and pain, Bes. Pretend I'm your punching bag or something. Just hit me and let it all out.""Xander," I whispered, my voice trembling with emotion. "Hit me, Kierra. Hell knows I deserve it."
I raised my hand, and with a soft thud, I hit him lightly on the chest. "You're so annoying, you know..." I said, my voice barely above a whisper.
Xander's eyes locked onto mine, a hint of a smile playing on his lips. I hit him again, this time a bit harder. "You're so fricking annoying..." I said, my voice rising in frustration.
I hit him again, and again, each blow landing softly on his chest. "You made me hurt you..." I whispered, my voice cracking with emotion.
Xander's eyes never left mine, his gaze burning with intensity. "Why do you have to be so so annoying..." I said, my voice barely above a whisper.
I hit him one last time, and then I broke down in sobs, my body trembling with emotion. Xander sat down beside me, his arms wrapping around me in a tight hug.
"I know, Bes. I'm so so sorry. I promise it won't happen again. Please..." he whispered, his voice filled with regret.
I looked up at him, my eyes streaming with tears. "I'm sorry too..." I whispered, my voice barely audible.
Xander's eyes locked onto mine, a hint of a smile playing on his lips. "You can go with Seth, but I swear, if he does anything out of place..." he said, his voice low and husky.
I rolled my eyes, a smile playing on my lips. "It'll be fine, Xander..." I said, taking his hand in mine.
Xander's eyes sparkled with amusement. "But you're still not allowed to date him..." he said, a grin spreading across his face.
I hit him playfully on the arm. "Why, huh?" I asked, my voice teasing.
Xander smirked, his eyes glinting with amusement. "I'll tell you soon enough, Bes..." he said, his voice low and husky.
I raised an eyebrow, my curiosity piqued. "Oh, really now? So..." I trailed off, my eyes locked onto his.
Xander's face broke out into a wide grin. "So, who's in the mood for ice cream?" he asked, his voice filled with excitement.
I squealed with delight, jumping up from the couch. "Me! Me! Me! Me! Me! Oh, you know it's me!" I exclaimed, my hands waving wildly in the air.
Xander chuckled, his eyes sparkling with amusement. "You hit like a girl, you know..." he whispered, his voice low and husky.
I blushed, my face growing hot with embarrassment. Xander let out a loud whoop, jumping off the couch and racing towards the door.
"Last one to the car pays for the ice cream!" he exclaimed, his voice echoing through the hallway.
I stared after him, my hands still feeling like they were on fire where he had touched them. I couldn't stop smiling sheepishly, my heart racing with excitement
