Mr. The Lawyer Fatal Attraction
Part 55's. Stupid Questions

Allison POV.

He followed me into my study quietly, despite being beaten by William, but it seemed to have little effect on him.

"You okay?" I asked after we entered. Suppressing my feelings of disappointment, I was too calm for the one who was let down.

"Allison, things aren't what you think they are. What's..." He took my hand and I pulled him over.

"Don't touch me." Xavier instantly fell silent as I brushed his hand away.

"We'll just cancel meeting Dad." I continued with what I thought was right. What to do if nothing I think is right. "Thank you for recommending the firm to the Charleston Hotel, I'll transfer the commission to you later. The amount I talked to William about first." I managed to maintain the calmness of my voice until I was amazed myself, only I could not look at him.

"I don't need your money. If I need to I'll tell you about it."

"It's just a commission, everyone deserves it. Besides I'm grateful you put in the name of the firm, thanks to which our portfolio class is increasing. It's just no business that personalizes Xavier." This time I managed to stare at him for a bit, before turning my eyes again. I'm disappointed in him, but I know he's not as depraved as David. Much better at least.

At least I know he's not as bad as David Montgomery, who thinks women are just games, humans have their own weak sides. But does he love me, I guess ..either, only he knows because I don't know either.

"You don't have to worry, I won't complain to Dad. It's a personal matter, it's not a political betrayal,..." I continued on still not wanting to see it.

"I.m, ..." Now he made me look at his face with my shoulder "I didn't tell David to test you, he said it was a misunderstanding." The part that's not him telling her I know, unfortunately that's not what I want to know.

"Misunderstand? But you even let him test me, you don't get angry that a bastard who's tasted a lot of women like that approaches me, I hear yourself talking about me like an object of research. Do you really like me, or is it because I'm Lyold Austin's son like David said?"

"It's not like that. I had no idea she was planning on approaching you."

"I told you about it. But you're obviously quiet."

Now he's quiet. And I had enough to say, nor did I need an answer from her, for she also asked herself for the answer to that question, I took her hand off from me.

"We're going to be friends with Xavier. I think our talk is enough, I'm sorry William hit you, but I guarantee your career won't be affected by this. You don't have to be afraid, my father won't know. I have to work, all day I just produce random streaks on paper." I laughed to myself, before turning around like I was going to cry.

It makes no difference, my eyes have been red all day. I need more rest than anything today was exhausting. I'm going to sleep fast, drink my camomile tea, these moments maybe hearing Mom's voice will make me better.

Men, including Xavier, they're only human, I hope, my hope is not true I'm disappointed.

"From the beginning we were just close friends of Xavier, maybe you forgot our status and that's you telling me too. We didn't break up, I just kind of expected too much from my close friends. Maybe I've been burdening you all this time. Sorry for that."

"Nobody's weighing on each other Al. I set our status because I respect your father."

"You're more concerned with my father than I am." I smiled, I couldn't see clearly because I was blinded by my own feelings. Now after last night in a rainstorm it seems that the fog is gone.

"Al, it's not that."

"Obviously it is." I reply quickly.

All the names are clear. We're just friends, I'm too quick to make things go my own way. This incident made me learn that I was forcing my desires too much. I was roaring to Alma should she be the one to tell ourselves we are lovers but the truth is I am imposing it according to my will.

All the signs are clear, only I can't see them.

"You want us to never see each other again?" The question made me look at him, I shrugged my shoulders.

"Okay, do you think we should meet? What's for?" I turned the question to him.

What does she want? She wants to meet me? Wh-wh-what for? Wasn't he the one who should have answered that question.

"You want this to just end?" I saw him asking with a resigned face. He asked the same question again.

Is this gonna end you determined it was Xavier. I leave it to you. For now I have no answer to your question. I think you have your own brain to decide.

"Go Xavier, I think we're done talking."

"You broke off this relationship based on a misunderstanding?"

Now my emotions are going up.

"Did I say anything about breaking up?! You said we were just friends! Are you stupid or what!? Now get out of here!"

He's not leaving. I'll go now. I left him in my room and went to William's.

I don't want to talk to him anymore. Stupidhead! In the next three months, if you don't fight for me. I'm gonna throw you out of my life.
