Hot Naked Guy As A Gift novel Chapter 11

"Will one of you tell me what the hell is going on?" Again they ignore me, staring each other down, waiting for the other to back down. Minutes ticked by, hell maybe even hours I don't know, and neither of them moved, ignoring my very presence in the room and my anger increased with every minute. "Fine! Be assholes about it, I'm going to Eva's."

I stomp from the room, knowing my reaction is childish but not really caring as I walk to the front door, cursing them both under my breath. Why do men always have to be so... so annoying? Is it like ingrained in their brains to be complete morons or do they just learn it when they get older? I don't see what the big deal is about all of this and my dad's reaction to Xavier being from the reservation just pisses me off even more.

"Arianna, wait," I squeak in surprise when his hand latches onto my arm, stopping me from slamming the front door in his face. Trying to jerk my arm from his grasp is futile, but I try anyway, glaring back at him when he chuckles at my failed attempts at freedom. The humor slowly falls from his expression, the seriousness in his eyes making me almost nervous. "I believe there may be somethings I should explain to you about myself. If your father is alright with that?"

Dad frowns angrily at Xavier's hand on my arm, obviously put out that I don't try harder to get away from him. But why would I want to move when it feels like I should stay right where I am? "I don't like the two of you alone together, just because you've sworn to protect my daughter does not mean I trust your kind. I don't want you showing her anything, explain it as simply as you can then leave."

"Okay, now you're really starting to piss me off. What's going on?" Why can't they just spit it out already?! What could be so bad that they're trying to kill me with the suspense? It irks me that I want to know so badly and that they just keep quiet every time I ask for answers. If they don't get to talking before I start going gray then I'm going to hurt someone.

"It would be better if she saw for herself what I am, you know this yourself. It will be easier for me to protect the both of you if she understood the consequences of this situation." Hello, am I invisible or something? Is that what is, they just don't know I'm in the room? "I will not hurt her, you have my word."

Xavier nods, never once looking away from me as he speaks. "Of course sir, I will have her back before the two hours is up, I promise you." Its funny how I can't find it in me to deny him. The rueful smile on his face has me frowning as I accept the hand he's held out to me. I don't think I'm going to like whatever is coming.

"What was with that staring contest?" It almost looked like they were having a silent conversation that they didn't want me overhearing and of course that annoys me. I don't like surprises and the fact that my dad is so willing to keep me in the dark about something he knows I want to know is irritating.

"Do you believe in the supernatural?" He doesn't look at me as we walk down the drive, turning onto the road once he's looked to make sure no cars were coming. His question caught me off guard, I hadn't expected that one and I don't really see how that applies to anything. And besides, what would it matter if I did or not, none of its real anyway.
