Cherry

I got into my brother’s BMW as we were about to leave for the shopping mall, and honestly, I don’t feel too good that Xavier is with us, cause honestly, I’m scared of my brother seeing through me. What if he discovers that I fucking have feelings for his best friend? I mean, it’s not like I’m going to blab or yell it out, but whenever Xavier is close to me, I don’t trust myself, cause I always end up having a series of dirty thoughts. What if I do something crazy?

I was sitting in the front seat while Xavier sat at the back. I swear, I don’t understand why he likes the color black, cause almost all his clothes are black, but that’s not even it, cause he’s obsessed with hoodies. It’s fucking rare to see Xavier Maleson in normal sweatpants and a shirt. At this point, I can confidently say that his signature color is black and his favorite style is hoodies.

“Sweetheart, your seatbelt,” my brother reminded me as he ignited the car.

“On it,” I smiled at him and put on my seatbelt as we finally drove off.

“What do you want me to get for you?”

“Hmmm…..” I hummed, thinking of what I actually wanted, cause I felt like I already have everything that I need, but then I remembered that Chanel recently released their latest collection.

“Have you thought of something?”

“Of course,” I winked at him.

“Come on, tell me, what’s that?”

“Take me to the Chanel store.”

“Chanel, again? Come on, sweetheart, try some other brands. You’re a Bottega ambassador, remember?”

“Hmm, but I love Chanel more.” I smiled. My brother shook his head like he’s tired of me. Of course, he loves me too much to be tired of me. I suddenly felt a certain pair of eyes on me. The whole time, someone had been staring at me, and I was too oblivious to notice that until now.

I didn’t want to turn back, cause my brother would notice that, so I pulled out my lip gloss from my purse and applied it. I stylishly pulled down the vanity mirror, acting like I was checking out my lips, and just like I thought, Xavier’s eyes were staring right back at me. Seeing that he’s already caught, I thought he was going to look away, but instead, he gave me a dirty smirk, and I quickly pulled back the mirror. I turned and gave him a glare.

“Xavier, I forgot to tell you, Felz invited us to come play golf today,” my brother said to him.

“I’m not interested.”

“Are you sure about that? There’s going to be a lot of fine bitches. Are you still not going?”

I waited for Xavier to answer. I don’t know why, but my heart is racing right now.

“I’ll think about it.”

“Come on, it’s not like you have anything to do after this,” Zayn persuaded him, but Xavier did not reply. I was actually happy. I know it’s weird, but I found myself smiling. We finally made it to the Chanel store, and damn, all my favorite latest collections are here.

“Come on, bro, tell me my estimate so I can know what to pick.”

“Nahhh, go on and pick whatever you want.”

“Huh?” I gasped in surprise, cause that’s unlike my brother. He always gives me a minimum range of what to pick whenever he’s buying things for me.

“What do you mean by that?” I asked him again to make sure I heard him right.

“Trust me, sis, go on and pick whatever you want.”

“What if I pick the whole mall?”

“It doesn’t matter, cause whoever is paying has unlimited cash.” He bragged and adjusted his collar. I was almost smiling right now, cause my brother is looking so hyped today. Other days, he always complains about how extravagant I spend his money, but today he’s too confident.

I glanced at Xavier, and he was just smiling from where he’s standing.

I didn’t think too much of it, so I went ahead and began picking every damn thing I liked, starting from the latest bag collections to the heels, the jewelry, and dresses. It was almost an hour, and at this point, the staff that were carrying the bags were almost sweating.

“Come on, sweetheart, you’ve been shopping for the past one hour. Are you not done yet?”

“Let her do her thing, bro,” Xavier spoke up for the first time since we came out. Sometimes I wonder why it is that he rarely talks. It’s not like he doesn’t, cause I’ve seen him laughing and talking with my brother, but most of the time he never talks, and you can’t even know what he’s thinking, cause his expression is always blank.

“Alright, one more purse and I’m done,” I pouted at my brother.

“Fine, go ahead.”

I giggled as I began to search around for a purse, cause I needed to select the best. One thing about me is I love luxury. I love gold, diamonds, and silver, and that’s why I worked so hard for it. Matter of fact, I was born in wealth, so I like me some cool luxury.

“Here, this is perfect,” someone said beside me. I looked up, and it was Xavier holding one of the prettiest black purses I’ve ever seen in my entire life. One thing about me is I’m not one of those girls that live and dine in pink. No, I love some multi colors, but I can say I love the color black more.

“It’s pretty. You love black?” I asked him, staring at the gorgeous black purse in his hand.

“Hmm, cause someone here likes it,” he replied. I tried to process what he said, but he already walked past me. I sighed and followed the staff, and we went to the cashier to make payment. They calculated everything that we bought.

“Your total bill is $1,000,000, sir,” the cashier informed us. I was waiting for Zayn to make the payment.

“Here…..” Xavier pulled out a black card right before my eyes. I thought I was the only one that was shocked, but the cashier was shocked as well.

“Told you someone got you,” Zayn winked at me.

“Uhm, sir, I’ll need to cash this at the VIP,” the cashier said to us and left with Xavier.

“Zayn,” I called, pulling his shirt.

“What? You look shocked.”

“Xavier, who is he? I mean, our parents are rich, but none of us have a black card.”

“Oh, about that….. you won’t wanna know,” Zayn smirked.
