"I did not break up with her,'' Xavier replied as he stopped hugging his mom and walked to the couch, sitting down.
''Then she broke up with you? What did you do this time? ''
Xavier sighed; ''Mom, we were never dating. It was all for the public and now we are done.''
Tiana, whose lips were still opened stared at her son in shock;
''What did you say?''
''I know it would be hard for you to understand, but it's the truth we never dated. I didn't tell you the truth because I knew you liked Melissa, so I just let you love her. But now it's over, there's no need to hide it from you. I know it would be a hard pill to swallow, but it's the truth. Both of us never dated.''
Tiana was speechless for a few seconds, then she walked to the water dispenser and poured herself a cup of cold water. After drinking, she walked back to her son.
''So everything was fake?''
