Unwritten Rule

Chapter8End

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
