Chapter 15

“Throwing myself at some random guy? Xavier, do you hear yourself?” Noelle could not help. butlaugh at the absurdity of it all.

“I get that you’re not over what happened with me and Winter, but you’re young. You’ll replace someonewho’s just for you. I’m your brother–in–law now, right? I wouldn’t do anything to hurt you,” Xaviersaid, stumbling a bit over the words ‘brother–in–law.‘ He glanced at Noelle, noticing she lookedeven prettier than she had just a day ago.

“Oh, I should be so grateful for your concern!” Noelle’s voice dripped with sarcasm. “Do me a favor,will you? Just stay out of my life from now on.” She was not the type to cling to what was gone.Sure, she could not just switch off her feelings for Xavier, but she would not let him see hercrumble.

“Noelle, why do you have to be this way? If things had worked out, it would have been great, butotherwise, we should go our separate ways. We’re not a thing anymore, and I’m really into Winter.”

“Okay, I get it. You’re head over heels for Winter, So, what do you want from me? I’ve backed off asmuch as I can. I’m not bothering you, so why can’t you just leave me be?” Noelle was at a loss,trying to figure out what Xavier was really after.

Why on earth did he think she could just smile and play nice after what he had done? Did he thinkshe was some kind of saint?

“Winter threw herself under the bus to spare you from your family’s wrath. She didn’t say anythingas they scolded her. I love Winted and she loves me, but Grandpa won’t give us hist blessingbecause of you, Noelle. Don’t you feel even a little bit guilty?”

“Guilty? Oh, please, Xavier, are you for real? Why would I feel guilty? You’re the one who should bedrowning in guilt.” She almost fell for it and thought she was the one at fault. “Now, do me a favorand vanish, will you?”

“Noelle!” Xavier’s face was a picture of shock, totally unable to grasp that this new Noelle no longertrailed behind him, agreeing with every word and always putting him first. “How can you do this tome? I’m so disappointed. I even bragged to Winter that you were her ride–or–die and would neverstab her in the back. Boy, was I wrong about you.”

“Yeah, you’ve got it twisted, Xavier. Did you forget your brain when you walked out the door? Whatgirl in her right mind would forgive a cheater and a homewrecker? And you have the nerve to expectme to be sweet to you? Do you think I’m that pathetic? Let me set you straight -it’s not you whomisjudged me. I’m the one who had you all wrong. I must’ve been blind to ever fall for a guy likeyou. Now scram! Get out of my face.”

Noelle knew if she kept this up with Xavier, she would be the one losing her mind

“Who was I before? Your lapdog? Remember when you said our love needed a ‘test‘ and thecompany needed me, so off I went on a year–long business trip to who–knows–where?
