Chapter 1190: Selena (4)
Selena ordered a bowl of spicy noodles for herself and a hot tea. But,?her mate only ordered a bottle of mineral water and didn't order anything else, even though Selena had said that this time it would be her treat. But apparently, he didn't heed it at all.
"Indeed a cold bottle of water is what you need right now," Selena said nonchalantly, actually she was quite happy because this man agreed to accompany her to eat.
Actually Xander wasn't doing this voluntarily, but this girl in front of him was crazy enough to put his motorcycle keys in her shirt pocket close to her chest.
Then she casually told Xander if he wanted he could take it himself.
Xander had stolen, beat people and even killed, but of course he wouldn't lower himself to molesting a woman. It wasn't in his life dictionary.
"My name is Selena, what's your name?" she asked as she stretched out her hand after she finished eating the noodles she ordered and took a sip of her tea.
Selena put away the empty bowl calmly and looked at Xander intently.
"At least tell me your name," Selena said in a low voice, sulking.
"Give me the keys to my motorbike," Xander said impatiently.
"Your name," Selena insisted at her own pace and when Xander closed his eyes, a mischievous smile bloomed on her lips. "I don't know what you are, but I think you should hold back your emotions."
Xander then opened his eyes and glared at Selena fiercely, but then the girl looked at his hands and her facial expression turned into one of panic.
"Your hand!" she cried, whisper-shouting at him.
Automatically, Xander turned to look at his hands. He thought that he was burning something again, but there was nothing to fret about, so he looked back at Selena, who was grinning.
"Your hands are so beautiful, I mean," Selena said lightly, then leaned over and stared at Xander intently. "You look really tense."
Xander couldn't stand being around this girl anymore, he couldn't get used to seeing a smile on her lips or her demeanor being so calm and carefree, like she had nothing to worry about.
Maybe there was nothing to worry about, because she was not the kind of person to burn people when she was upset or angry.
Therefore, Xander immediately got up from his chair and walked away.
Seeing that, Selena let him be, because she knew Xander couldn't have gone far, as long as the keys to his motorbike were with her.
Selena sat there for about a minute, drinking her drink, then she left, but when Selena was about to pay for her food, the waitress there told her that Xander had paid for the food.
"Your boyfriend has already paid for it," the servant said.
Hearing the words 'your boyfriend', Selena's mood improved, she then smiled sweetly at her before leaving.
Outside, she found Xander sitting on his motorbike smoking a cigarette. Not many people were passing by in this area, or maybe it was because it was already late into the night.
"Where are my keys?" Xander said as he breathed out a thin puff of white smoke into the air.
"Your name." Selena is still stubborn.
Xander took a deep breath, before he finally said, "Xander."
"Lie."
Xander narrowed his eyes, as if Selena had just insulted him.
"So, your name is really Xander?" Selena then said the name again, feeling the way it rolled off of her lips. "Xander… Xander…. Beautiful name…."
"My keys." Xander didn't want to join Selena's creative imagination and make things warmer between the two of them, because he had no intention of being around this girl.
Reluctantly, Selena handed over the keys to Xander's motorbike and immediately jumped onto its pillion seat.
"What else now?" Xander frowned.
"Take me home…"
"Get down! I am not your personal chauffeur!"
===================
Sean often said that Selena always got what she wanted. His twin sister had her own way of getting what she wanted, by any method.
Selena seemed to have her own spell to make others submit to her wishes, a spell like a magician.
And it proved to be true.
When Xander emphatically said that he wasn't going to take Selena home, he ended up breaking his own words and now he was in front of the girl's house.
"Thanks for driving me home," Selena said as she looked at Xander. "But, there's one more thing I'm curious about you."
Xander stared at Selena silently, as if to say; what else do you want to know?
"Are you a magician? You can get fire out of your hands." Selena raised her finger, stopping Xander from interrupting his sentence. "Don't dodge, I saw you light a cigarette with your fingertips smoldering. So, are you a magician?"
"No." Xander didn't understand why he was responding to Selena, maybe the same reason why he agreed to take her home. A reason he still didn't know.
"No?" Selena tilted her head. "Then what are you?"
It might also be because this was the first time he had met another supernatural being who didn't immediately consider him an enemy. Because most of them would see it as a threat if he stumbled into their territory.
"I don't know," Xander answered honestly. "I can control fire."
"So you're a firebender?"
Those blue eyes flashed with enthusiasm again and maybe it was because of those beautiful eyes that stared at him without judgment, that Xander felt a little comfortable around her.
"I don't know what my kind are called." Then there was silence between them, while Selena seemed to be in thought. "Are you a shifter?" Xander asked. This time it was his turn to ask.
"Yes, I'm a lycan," Selena replied proudly.
Xander nodded slowly. Lycan… a powerful shifter…
"Then why are you following me around?" Xander asked, he could see Selena's face immediately turned red.
"That… hmm…" she looked shy and hesitant when she was about to finally say it. "This is something related to shifters…" She didn't know where to start. "You know, that every shifter has a mate…"
Xander's brow furrowed, but saw how Selena's demeanor turned shy and remembered the sensation he felt when they touched. Xander had to admit that he liked the sensation.
"Oh, no…" he mumbled. "Don't say that..."
"You're my mate," Selena said, finishing Xander's sentence.
Xander's eyes narrowed when he heard that. "Impossible," he hissed.
"Of course it's possible," Selena replied firmly. "You are my mate."
"This is crazy…" Xander whispered.
"Of course not, it's amazing!" exclaimed Selena excitedly.
Xander shook his head again.
"So, since you're not a shifter, may I mark you now?"
