Chapter Four

                  Xavier's pov

 "Mike, let not talk about that please. Let's change the topic." I spoke and sat on the couch.

I don't want to hear about her. I'm still trying not to think about her. What she did and how she ended up being.......

Arrgh! Don't wanna remember it.

     "Okay Xavier. So you got a new girlfriend now. We should celebrate it."

"But you were kinda harsh to her, are you guys fighting?" He inquired.

"No. She's just my fake girlfriend. I had to do this so I can get my dad's entertainment." I answered, dropping my phone beside me.

"Fake girlfriend? Seriously Xavier, you got to be kidding me. When are you gonna get a real girlfriend? You're lacking behind!" Mike snapped. But I don't care.

    "Maybe in next year, two years or so." I stated.

"You're not the first person to lose a girlfriend. No one even knows you've dated someone before. Stop behaving like a child." Mike rolled his eyes.

"I'm not okay. I will get one soon. But not know, I need to get Father's entertainment first."

"So, when you get it, what about the girl?" He questioned.

"She's going. Her job will end after two months. It might not be up-to it before I send her away." I replied, sharply.

"I can't believe you're not the Xavier I know. You've changed." He shook his head.

"Nope, I'm still that arrogant and rude xavier you know."

"Is there anything for me to eat? Call your fake- girlfriend to come cook for us." Mike grinned.

"I don't want to see you around her. Don't flirt with her. I won't take it slightly with you." I warned him.

"Wow! She's your fake girlfriend, why are you overprotective because of her?" Mike furrowed his brows.

"Michelle!!" I called, ignoring his question.

In two minutes or more, Michelle came down.

"Please, My lady, can you get us food to eat? We are hungry" Mike's stomach grumbled and he looked away.

Michelle tried to hide her laughter by covering her mouth.

"So what are you going to eat?" She asked.

"Anything, pretty. Even your beauty is enough to make someone........" I cut Mike off.

"Cook anything. Leave now!"

"Okay darling." She smiled sweetly while I scoffed at the 'darling' she added.

"How sweet!" Mike exclaimed.

Michelle left and I turned to my phone. I went through my gallery and saw Lenora's pics. I didn't remember to delete her pics. I proceeded to do that.

"You don't have to delete her pics on your phone. You might use it to show it to your real girlfriend." Mike whispered when he saw what I did.

"None of your business!" I snapped.

"Sorry. Let's play a game or should we watch one of your movies? Today is kinda boring." He groaned and slipped to the floor.

"Let's play a game."

Minutes later,

After playing a car racing game with Mike, Michelle came to call us. She was done cooking.

I was so anxious to eat her food. I don't know why. I got to the dinning with Mike and she served us.

I ate a spoonful. Delicious. She really cooked so well. I glanced at her.

"It good." I complimented.

"Shit! Only good? Baby, this is delicious, excellent, wonderful meal you just cooked. Don't mind Xavier." Mike gave me a knock on the head.

Michelle blushed and I couldn't help but smiled.

"Thanks." She responded, bashfully.

   "You're welcome baby."

I hate it when Mike calls her baby. What's he trying to do?

   We left the dinning after eating our meal. Mike decided to join Michelle in washing the plates while I went to pick a call from my manager.

                   Michelle's pov

  I laughed at Mike's jokes as I washed the plates.

He helped me dry them and put them in the cupboard.

    "So you just started working as Xavier's girlfriend today?" He asked and I nodded.

He told me Xavier had explained everything to him.

"Yes, today."

"And I'm going to meet his father tomorrow. What a cupboard love." I muttered the last part.

Yeah, cupboard love. Acting like we love each other in exchange of something. I know there's a reason why Xavier wants a girlfriend.

"Cupboard love you say?" Mike cackled and leaned on the counter.

   "Do you still want to know why his face is like that when I mentioned his ex-girlfriend's name, Lenora? You wanna know what happened to the girl?" I nodded to the question.

I knew there's something that made him feel different when he heard that name. Whatever it is, I don't want to make him sad anymore.

"I really do want to know about her." I replied.

I dropped the napkin in my hands and faced him.

"She died and before that.....argh! I'm not supposed to say this but don't let Xavier know I'm telling you this." Mike whispered.

"Well, I already know. You don't need to keep it a secret, Mike." I heard Xavier's voice.

I turned to see him leaning on the kitchen door.

"Hmm, I was just trying to tell her about Lenora. Maybe next time, Michelle." He patted my head before leaving the kitchen.

Xavier darted his eyes to me but I quickly looked down. Afraid he might yell at me.

"I don't want you around him. You work for me and not him. The day I'm gonna see you two together, you'd regret that day." He spoke harshly.

I thought he had gone until I noticed him at my back.

"You won't love to see the other side of me." He whispered and left.

His girlfriend died? He didn't let Mike complete his words. This is not the Xavier I know. The one I see on TV is calm, sweet and friendly but the one here is rude and arrogant.

I will meet Mike to tell the entire story of Xavier's relationship.
