Aaron looked at Xante. "So are you guys together?"
Xante sipped her coffee before replying indifferently, "Nope."
Aaron laughed. He then looked smugly at Sunny. "Did you hear that? She said you guys aren't together."
He did not need to fan the flames since Sunny was already angry as it was. "How can you say that? Have you forgotten what we did that day? You… You…"
The more he tried to explain himself, the redder his face got until he finally gave up.
"Oh, shut up and sit down! I'm trying to work here," chided Xante with annoyance.
Sunny did as she said. He plumped down on the sofa, fuming.
Xante turned her attention to Aaron. "Is there anything else I can help you with?"
Aaron glanced at Sunny with twinkling eyes. "Xante, you dirty dog. He's just a kid," he whispered teasingly.
Xante gave him the death glare. "Oh, please. He's practically an adult. Plus, do you think I'm enjoying this? You don't know how much I wish I could shake him off!"
Aaron laughed. "When did this happen? I can't say I ever saw you two talking."
Xante frowned. "You remember that day at the hotel? He came after you left, and then…"
"Why you!" That was the final straw for Sunny. With his anger rising, he rushed over to free Xante. "Get up! Let go of her!"
Aaron scooped Xante up into his arms. "Make me," he taunted.
"Argh! You piece of sh*t! Let go of my girlfriend! How many times do I have to tell you to keep your hands off her!" In a fit of panic, Sunny let slip the word 'girlfriend'.
Aaron finally got what he wanted. He put down Xante, whose expression was twisted, and said, "Oh, so she's your girlfriend! You should've told me sooner. I wouldn't have touched her if I knew."
Red in the face, Sunny walked over and pulled Xante to his side. "I'm warning you. Touch her again, and I'll kill you."
