Xavier rushed towards Jasmine hitting the gun off her hand immediately Melissa's hand stopped moving making his eyes widen. Immediately he passed it with his leg.
Mr. Dominic smirked and left Melissa. She fell on his feet, her breath hard.
He took the gun and pocketing it smiled, raising his brow at Xavier, "How hard was that?" He shrugged, "That's why you will always be weak, Xavier. The cunt even had more guts than you," he mumbled, referring to Jasmine who was apologizing profusely as she rushed to Melissa.
"No." Xavier mumbled, "That's the difference between you and me. While you care about nobody, I do care."
"Hope you care enough to take your sister and this woman," Mr. Dominic glared at Jasmine, "Over here out of here and I'll pretend like this ugly incident never happened."
"I didn't leave the comforts of my house to just come in here and call it quits." Xavier retorted Cooly, his hands on his pocket.<
Xavier grinned as he noticed that Jasmine was also smiling. A tear rolled down her cheek, yet she laughed hard and Xavier joined her. She didn't need to say a word because he fully understood. He had been right beside her literally through the whole rollercoaster. First, it was uncertainty, confusion, fear that had plagued them as Maya's disappearance had left everyone with a huge question mark. Then Melissa had come along with her huge discovery that had introduced hope, anxiety, and excitement that had made individuals who don't have a fighting bone in their body decide to go into the devil's camp to save Maya themselves. Even Brian had come along, Xavier remembered shaking his head, laughing even more. And when Mr. Dominic had gotten his claws on Melissa, the anxiety was back. Jasmine could see the end of it all. She could tell Xavier knew that there will
"Xavier___" she paused and then he heard her laughter ring so loud, like music to his ears making him realize yet again it was one of the things he missed about her. "I know you are in the spur of the moment and my kidnap was a lot for you to handle but don't start saying things you don't mean, okay? I just might have the wrong idea," she shook her head amused, and then peered down at the basket of fruits he was holding while staring at her in shock. "Is that for me?" She asked, her eyes narrowing at his transfixed expression. "Yes," he muttered without thinking. "Then hand it over, I decided to talk to you first so I can get you off the hook," she shook her head in disbelief, "How sweet of you to wait till I wake up before you go home. But your bloody T-shirt is making me dizzy and I know how busy of a man you are so just head back to work, aye?" "Maya I was serious__"
Even the infamous Xavier is scared of losing somethingMaya squinted her eyes, trying to see the person who had just entered her room and consequently had woken her up. "Maya," he whispered breathlessly. Her eyes flew open, "Tyler." Since that night at Xavier's house, Maya could tell that there was a strain in the almost budding friendship she was beginning to sense was about to blossom between her and the latter. She had understood his reasons for staying away. He had even expressed his like for her to start with because she had expressly notified him of how much she disliked him. So more than just proving that she and Xavier was a thing, she was aware she had managed to somehow betray Tyler. Make him realize they weren't allies.Something had happened between him and Xavier that had made the air between them edgy, their rancor existent, the bitterness, the suppressed a
Two weeks later"When are you resuming work? I have missed you at work." Xavier muttered. They had just finished seeing a movie and their gazes were still on the rolling credit when he had asked the one question Maya dreads. He had refused her leaving his house until she was completely fine and now, she was more than fine she wasn't sure she wanted to leave his side. But the decision she had made after long thoughts and careful thinking will make walking away from his house and she hoped, as soon as they could break the news that they broke up to the public space, his life too, easier. "I know I did say, you could take all the time you needed but it seems like you are bored to death here all by yourself besides you have fully recuperated." Maya took a long sip of the wine beside her bracing herself for one of the most difficult conversations she just might skip if that option w
Maya crumpled her disposable Expresso cup, tossing it into the trash can. She blew out a sigh and rubbed her face with her hand wondering why she just had to get into a fight with Xavier about this? Why couldn't he understand her for a change? See this from her perspective? Sighing again, she switched her phone on, her hand hovering on the call icon beside the moving company she had contacted a day before, not knowing if it was right to cancel their former agreement and just ask for her things to leave Xavier's house this night. She didn't want to go back to him. If she did, she knew he'll try to convince her why taking a job in Tyler's company was a bad idea and she'll disagree, then it'll be the vicious argument once again. She was happy they were finally having an understanding, must they fight over everything all the damn time? And what was this hatred he had for Tyler that was so overwhelming an
Maya squinted her eyes just to be sure it was still the penthouse she had left a month ago. Grey couch had replaced pink glittery love settees and on the wall, the silly framy heart wallpaper has been replaced with a less "pinkish" one. She had let herself inside the house with spare keys she still had in her possession though, from the sounds coming from the kitchen, someone was in. What had happened and what the fuck was going on? "Maya!" Jessica came out of the kitchen looking at her bewildered. "You are here? You should have told me you are coming around to visit." She gave her a little uneasy smile, not knowing if she should just tell her that she will be coming back even though she had not given them any form of prior notice. But it wasn't like her room had been given to someone else and she needed to drop a notice for it to be vacat
Jasmine looked out of the window gasping, "Xavier is also here." Maya smiled sweetly, "It appears so," she muttered underneath her breath noting that she was cornered. Maya raised her brow at Skylar who appeared like she was told Christmas will be coming earlier. "Oh my God this is happening," she muttered underneath her breath while trying to comb her hair hastily with her fingers making Maya blink wondering what the fuss was about especially since she worked under him. Then she remembered that she only saw Xavier regularly because they worked in the same building and it was not the same case for the other workers especially since he had a private elevator and his own personal parking space. Most of the workers have never seen their boss except through tabloids and the television. He looked breathless even as he busted into the room, his eyes finding Maya almost i
Maya exhaled even as she smiled, leaning on Xavier's body trying so desperately to sell the picture of two people passionately in love. After humoring Ashley with her little video, they had discussed for a while with the trio acting like they had actually come to visit and when Xavier had suggested it was late and they should probably get going, she didn't know why but she had felt relieved. Now, she just had to swallow her pride and stay under his roof until she gets a place of her own because some hours ago she just discovered she was officially homeless. "Are you alright?" Xavier whispered, his eyes at his side of the window as he ended the silence they have sunk into throughout their ride back. "I don't even know anymore," she mumbled truthfully, closing her eyes feeling so tired, "I don't know," He glanced at her, "You know you could have just told them you wanted to move back."
