Hot Naked Guy As A Gift novel Chapter 15

"You said if I wanted you to leave you would."

I've never particularly been good at goodbyes, but ones never bothered me as much as this does. Xavier's not human, those men that showed up here were hunting him because he's not human, my dad doesn't like him because he's not human. And I don't know how I feel about it all. My body acts weirdly around him, I think about things that should be normal, but my mind can't process that he's not human.

He turned into a wolf right in front of me and I still don't believe it. Maybe I just don't want to believe, but whatever it is its not letting me tell him to leave. I should want him to leave, right? Argh, this shouldn't be so damn confusing.

"Arianna, do you wish for me to leave?" My head screams yes, but every other part of me is screaming no. What do I do? If I say yes, he'll really be gone, but if I say no... I don't even know what would happen if I say no. But he still hasn't answered me.

"I don't-I don't know. Can you tell me how the hell I heard you when you were... changed?" Changed, yea that's a good word, doesn't make this situation sound as weird as the other one. Its all weird enough as it is, there's no sense in freaking myself out anymore than I already am.

"That is... complicated." Complicated? It shouldn't be freaking possible! Complicated doesn't even begin to describe any of this. "Your father will be worried if I do not get you back to him soon." Screw my father, I want some answers. Damn it.

"Why is it complicated? I mean, how much more complicated can it be than what I just saw?" I'll call it anything but that damn 'W' word, if I use that would I'll have to admit this is all real. None of this can possibly be real, it just can't be.

"Xavier! I'm not scared of you. I just- its a lot to take in, alright? You gotta let me wrap my head around the fact that you're a-"

"Monster? You do not have to lie to spare my feelings, I was expecting this reaction from you." The hard, blank edge in his voice makes me feel even worse. How the hell did this go from a conversation about what he is to him degrading himself? "Your father will come looking for you, il mio amore." Huh? What did he just say?

"I wasn't going to call you a monster, I don't think you are one. But you can't just expect me to be fine and dandy about this. You just showed me, or rather showed me, that you're not human and my dad hunts... Werewolves. Its just not normal." None of this is normal and its really starting to annoy me that I don't know what he said. Why the hell didn't I take a foreign language class when I had the chance? Amore means love, doesn't it? I think it does, but why the hell would he be saying that?
