"But Xander I don't like greens" I whined. We were eating our dinner which was chicken and greens with potatoes that Xander made for us
"But Princess they're good for you," Xander said "At least eat your broccoli only and leave the peas, for me"
I huffed "Fine only broccoli, kay?"
"Okay princess" he nodded
I picked up my fork and stabbed the broccoli and ate it
"See not hard is it?" Adriel spoke up
"Don't talk to me," I scowled, I tried avoiding him most of the time but he wouldn't leave me alone
"Mhmm whatever love," he said
"Xavier come down and eat!" Xander called out to Xavier
Xavier then came rushing downstairs to take eat but when he went past me he came and poked my side again
"Ow! Stop poking me!" I shouted at him
"Stop shouting at me" he mocked
"You've been poking me all day it's not funny my side hurts because of you!"
"Xavier if I see you poke her again you'll see what happens" Xander threatened him
"Sure"
"Xander I'm done eating, I'm full," I said
"Okay princess go and wash your hands then go and sit inside"
I nodded and went to the bathroom to wash my hands and mouth then went back inside and laid across the couch and closed my eyes, I was tired from running around all-day
"You tired?" a voice said
I opened my eyes and saw Adriel standing there looking at me but I ignored him
"You can't ignore me because I said you couldn't have a boyfriend"
I ignored him again
"Hey listen"
"What?" I said
Whoops
"See! I knew I would get you to speak to me"
"Leave me alone I wanna nap" I whined
"Okay nap but don't nap for too long otherwise you won't be able to sleep at night," he said while covering me with a blanket and kissing my forehead
