Chapter NINETY THREE

Jessica sat still, waiting for him. She knew he was done trying to clean up after her so she should just cooperate at this point.   "I brought the things you would need for the meal out," she said.   Xavier stood opposite him the island separating them from each other. Although the island was thin enough for her to climb over it was still a barrier between them.   "Okay," Xavier said rolling up his sleeves. Jessica looked at his arm and she gulped hard.   It would be a hard task for her to control herself while watching him. She has to do it or else she might have to eat cereals and not be able to satisfy her cravings.   "What do I do first?" Xavier asked. He watched her as she shook her head trying to get him out. 'What could she be thinking?'   He tapped the island separating them to call back her attention to him. "What do I do first?" he asked again when her eyes flew open.   "Wash the veggies I brought out," she said pointing to the carrots and bell peppers alongside other greens.
