For the remainder of the day, Luxor poured over the worksheets Becky had printed, absorbing as much as she could about Kings, Great Dukes, Marquises, Earls, Knights and Presidents of Hell. By the time she finished, she rubbed her eyes as she had momentarily gone cross-eyed.

Royalty.

Cane had continued to call Luxor that, and if her got his way she feared she would be in command of all of those despicable creatures.

She changed into her pyjamas and grabbed her phone, thumbing at the screen. She contemplated calling Hunter, wishing he was there, even if she could rant away, but she quickly dismissed the idea. He hadn’t made any effort to call after their altercation at The Hive.

It’s justified, you said a guy was waiting for you.

Yeah, right. After his behaviour at The Renaissance I had every right to be angry.

Luxor threw the mobile to the side. Xavier played on her mind for the remainder of the night. Pandora hovered, a guardian shadow by her side, even going to the extent of keeping a jug of water by on the bedside table so she didn't get dehydrated. What she didn't realise was Luxor needed water of a different kind.

“Can you relax, I can get you some pills if you want?”

“Pass.”

“Is there anything I can do?” Pandora asked. Luxor shrugged. “You know sometimes you have to say stuff it, and do whatever you feel is right for that moment.”

“Meaning?”

“Take it however you like.”

Pandora swung her legs over the bed, and stretched upright, letting out a long yawn. “I’m next door if you need me.”

As Luxor laid back in bed, she opened up the messages on her mobile, and under Xavier her fingers hovered over the keypad. What would she say? It was random and out of the blue he would probably think she was a certified fruitcake.

She relived their night ice skating, how for a brief moment it felt like just friends. She didn't contemplate anything because Hunter remained at the back of her mind. But now things with him were different. Should I let him go?

No, because the jerk is in my heart

Her thumb hung preciously over the X, all by its lonesome. Friends message each other randomly, she contemplated to herself.

But he wants more.

She argued with herself like a girl with split personalities about morals. She could always make it seem like she wanted more.

That's leading him on.

Over and over her mind would circulate about the pros and cons. She switched her phone off to prevent the temptation, then switched it on because she needed the alarm for a dawn run.

Finally, she made up her mind and wrote the first thing that came to mind.

Luxor: Hey, you up?

She mentally face palmed herself as soon as she pressed send.

Why didn't I put a smiley face?

Not expecting a response, she switched her phone on silent, and shoved it under her pillow. A minute later the pillow vibrated under her head, jerking her upright. Slipping the phone out she read the message.

Xavier: Evening beautiful

Her finger circled the keypad.
