CHAPTER 47

Poppy threw her arms into her jacket, rushing her way downstairs to the foyer to leave the house. However when she opened the entrance door, she crashed right into Xavian whose gaze had been fixed on his cell. 

Didn't he leave for work?

She stumbled a bit, almost falling, but he caught her, holding her upright by the waist, his other hand still gripping onto his phone. 

"Where are you running to?" he asked, voice soft. 

Poppy stared at him, lips parted as if she had something to say, but the words just weren't coming out. 

Her throat bumped in a deep swallow, eyes averting from his eyebrows that raised questions to fall at his mouth. The mouth that had been on hers just last night—a kiss that had ruined her so much getting a sleep was like war, because everytime she shut her eyes, all she saw was this man. 

The desire to stop thinking about him was almost impossible as if he had built a house in her head.
