Xavier Quote by Michelle A. Valentine
““Luckily for me, he fills in the gap. “You can call me Xavier.” Things begin to click for me. “Is that where the X comes from?” “It is.” I lick my lips before I wonder out loud, “How about the ‘Phenomenal’ part?” His eyes flick down to my lips and then back up again. “I could tell you, but I think it’d be a whole lot more fun if I showed you where that portion of my name comes from.””
