She was right the very first day she had met Xavier. No, there was absolutely nothing wrong with her discernment, but instead of the warning bells to make her turn the other corner and run back to her perfectly boring life where she had friends who would fight the world for her.
She like every other stupid girl had been enthralled by darkness, like a moth to engulfing fire, she had plunged deeper and deeper into the roller coaster that was Xavier until he had drained her completely and burnt her marking her with his darkness and stripping her of things she didn't even know she had.
She has never felt as alone as she had felt during these few days even when she was the new kid in twelve schools for years shuffling around one foster home to another, not having enough time to make friends, to have a bond with anyone or have anyone to confide in.
Things were much more complex now, difficult. She was not the new Kid but an ad
Maya waggled her brow at Jared as he stepped out of the dressing room, looking like a stereotyped bad boy and ticking off all the boxes with his denim jacket which was opened showing off chiseled muscleks and surprisingly a tattoo, though it was an inscription that puzzled her: I want to be your everything except but one thing, Your past. It was very poetic and in all the tats did do Justice to the whole bad boy imagery that was being projected. "Howdy," she taunted, adding a wave and stifling giggle for good measures. He groaned and she chuckled. "I hate Tyler." He adjusted the baseball hat on his head and Maya noticed that the whole rugged bad boy look was not so far-fetched from his daily outfit. Just that this was bolder and in your face, but he did rock the look and she desperately hoped that they both would rock the act too. "We are recording in 1, 2, and 3" Maya already had a dazzling smile on her face
"So when am I setting up the interior designing for Maya's place?" Ashley nipped at her straw absentmindedly while sending an attached file of a design idea to a client oblivious to the quiet look exchanged between both friends as they wondered what to reply. It has been exactly one week since they had found out about Maya's lie and had instantly flipped. Now, they thought of it they couldn't help but feel that maybe they had acted a bit rashly by ignoring all her texts and calls especially since she wasn't doing that anymore, but they had been too hurt to know what was right anymore. She was a part of their bond, a connection. This was someone they spilled everything that happened to them, the second they met her, and yet it hurts to know, she had kept such a huge lie from them both. "Maya has been too busy recently but we would surely relay your message," Jasmine lied even as Jessica raised a brow at her and she shrugg
She hit the table with more force than intended when Jared in character had asked her if they should end it in his home or hers. Jared looked at her startled then burst into a fit of laughter while she collapsed too on her seat knowing she had flipped a little bit more than intended. Fifteen minutes later, Jared asked her why she wears such hideous baggy clothes that even his granny won't be caught in and she sarcastically retorted, calling him a perfect gentleman for pointing that out while she wondered what she had been thinking humoring her 10 years old son and going out with a crack nut. Jared as a character, is elated secretly thrilled that the woman in front of him was more interested in handling stacks of bills; he had sure done a little background check on her to avoid the risk of going out with a mental health patient or stalker and knew that she was grappling with a loss of debts hence her lack of opportunity to c
"Of course not," Xavier disagreed snorting, "You know I don't believe in that nonsense called love." "Then you need to get rid of this gloom all over you because it is getting confusing." "I just like her, I guess and a part of me feels bad that she looks unaffected by everything and__" "You'll be fine. You are always going to be fine." He nodded. She gave him a sly grin, while he raised his brow, "Now that we have just established that you won't be getting married anytime soon, this would be a good time for you to hand over the engagement ring to your darling sister so she could pawn it and go on a massive shopping spree and baby girl spa treatments," He shook his head at her amused, not at all surprised that regardless of just how much Melissa had in her account or millions of untouched clothes she had not worn she would always remain his baby sister who could ne
Jared scanned the headline nonchalantly "Engaged Casanova?" Warning alarms went off in his head as he thought of the one person that was engaged, that could get this rise from Tyler because of the dirt on his name. And just as he feared, his eyes took in the almost blurred picture of Xavier entering a hotel with two scantily dressed women. There was no mistaking that, that was Xavier despite the poor quality of the image and that disturbed him as his eyes were now fixated on Tyler who was still looking smug. Maya, he thought standing up quickly as he prayed that she hadn't seen this because the last thing he wanted was for her to have a mental breakdown because of her foolish insensitive fiance. "Where are you going to?" Tyler eyed him. "I need to make sure that Maya doesn't see this." "Too late. That must have been the first headline that she saw immediately
Diane's brother"I don't know why you did what you did even though you are smart and was very much aware of how this would end, why you continued staying with him even though I can tell you knew how very easily you might fall in love with him and at this point, I don't think I care." "Jessica__" "No Maya. Just listen to me, Alex is on his way to your office, just follow him without creating a scene. You should be with people especially when you are heartbroken and you'll be staying with us. That would even give Stacey more room to finish decorating your house. That place is depressing," "Jessica I'm not heartbroken and whatever happened between me and Xavier, was something I consented to as an adult besides I have work to do and I can't just up and leave." "Hello bullshit, I'm Jessica, nice to meet you." She snorted, "Can you stop feeding yourself with lies?" she heard a sharp intake of breath from the
"My baby," Jasmine met her at the threshold of the door, engulfing her in a warm hug even as Alex left them there, moving inside the house to sit down while commenting on how nice it was to see less of pink now and if Maya didn't feel like her heart was being dragged out of her body and pushed back in, again and again, she would have told him how surprised she had been to notice the very welcomed change by the way. "Can you both come inside already?" Jessica was wearing an apron as she made her way out of the kitchen shaking her head at the public display of affection, "How cute right?" Alex smiled in reply. "Remember all that I told you, Maya, I need to go back to work. I'd been so worried when Jessica has called that's why I had stopped by your office," he gave Jessica a mock horrified look, "Not all of us can be liars now, can we?" Maya could tell that Alex had run to her office the minute Jessica had
Xavier frowned at his favorite call girl, as she strutted into his room, swaying her hips provocatively. She wore a black leather jumpsuit which he had once told her made her look like a decorated desired cunt fit for just his pleasure. He could see the curves outlined by the body hug dress but yet it did nothing for him, his cock had the same bored look on his face, the type that was outrightly rude and might force him to yawn if he wasn't careful. The same look he have had on his face when he had purposely entered a popular hotel with two women he had once had a threesome with hoping that a picture of him would be taken by some lucky photographer. He was happy that his fucked off life could help make an average man earn a few bucks right? This was it, he was counting his victories alright even though he was a sore loser when it comes to the art of giving up on someone's memories which were becoming addictive as meth and bitter-sweet like a sex orgy gone wrong.
