I get it that he was so heartbroken but no one gave him the right to yell at me like that. I was just looking after him the previous night. I heaved a sigh and went into the bathroom and washed my face. My clothes were wrinkled because I had nothing to change into, while I slept the night.
I picked up my medicines, and ready to get out of his packhouse but a knock was heard on my door when I was about to open it.
I opened it to come, face to chest with Xander. He looked so stoic because of our previous encounter, his hands were fisted and his jaw was clenched. As if, he was ready to attack me.
He looked fresh out of the shower, his hair was messy but in a good way. He was wearing a black button-down shirt with blue jeans.
"I'll take you to your granny's home. We will grab our brunch on our way," he rather stated and started walking with his long strides. He didn't even glance at me.
"Xander wait!" I shouted and tried to match with his pace, more li
Alexander's Girlfriend?You got to be kidding me.The one real man who was not a celebrity that I was teeny tiny bit falling for, had a girlfriend, and how ironic it could be?What?What were you looking at?It was a tiny crush, I swore. But if he was going to treat me the same way as he was now, his name was going to be struck off from my crush's list, soon.The bimbo looked all smug in front of me.I was shocked would be an understatement because I'm beyond shocked. My heart ached from her words, her words turned into a heated sword and pierced right into my heart repeatedly without mercy.For a little crush my heart was being too dramatic, don't you think? My inner voice asked me, rolling her eyes in mockery. I ignored her and looked at Alexander. He was not looking at me, as if he was avoiding my gaze.As a matter of fact, he completely avoided me since she arrived at our table as if, he was disgusted to be seen with
I turned around to take a see his shoulders slumped. His head was dipped low and he was looking at the ground but his gaze was not focused on it. He looked as if he was remembering a scene from his past. I limped to his side and squeezed his shoulders as a token of giving him comfort.“I’m sorry,” I told him softly. When he raised his head and realized that it was me, his whole demeanor changed from grieves to vengeance. He threw daggers by looking into my big brown orbs. As if, I was a murderer and the mere sight of me irritates him to his core.I could see him restrain his emotions by clenching his jaw. I could hear him grinding his teeth. Did he loathe me that much? What did I do to deserve this? I could see his eye color shifting from blue to golden which looked similar to his wolfs’. I looked at him in awe.“Your eyes…” I trailed slowly and pointed at his face. I was really fascinated by it. I never saw him shift i
I thought she was a nice girl. If the reason for their break up was, her cheating on him, I was going to hunt her down. Hey, don’t think I was being judgmental. It was just; he had been through a lot in the relationship department. I was just looking out for him. Since I couldn’t cheer him up during those awful days in his life. My mind started to overthink again for all the possibilities for the causes of his downtrodden mood. “Is everything okay?” I asked him worriedly, he sniffled and big fat tears made their way down his cheeks. I rubbed his shoulder and gave him a side hug. He wrapped one arm around me. “Paul you are scaring me, what the hell happened?” I urged him gently and tried to make him spill the beans that were bothering him. He hugged me completely and began crying like a kid, I started to panic. “It’s postponed,” he mumbled against my hair. “What?” I asked him with a puzzled expression. “UEFA European championshi
I was going through the blouse section while a little hand tucked at the bottom of my shirt. I looked down and Eric was holding a yellow shirt in his hand. “Hmm…, Aunt, Cathie, will you…wear this?” he asked me shyly holding the t-shirt to me. I took that shirt from him. It was a yellow t-shirt with SpongeBob and Patrick Star. “Sure, it looks cute.” I gave him an encouraging smile which made him squeal with delight. “Yay! I know you will love it.” He told me with a toothy grin. Though I was too old to wear these kinds of t-shirts, I decided to buy this, since Eric asked me with an adorable smile. After purchasing our things we decided to get a drink. ************** We were sitting and sipping our drink when someone from my behind tapped me on my shoulder. “Hey!” I turned around to see a guy around my age standing there, with his hands tucked inside his denim. He was wearing a hood. He had brown eyes and brown hair with a lean mu
"Who?" I frowned at him. About whom was he talking about? My question made him scoff at me."The guy that you are flirting with at the Starbucks." He told me with a deadly calm tone. Then I realized that he was talking about Jake, the guy who approached me today while I was having my drink."Excuse me, that's none of your business." I snapped at him. How dare he assume things? Whether I flirt with Jake or not, that was not his business, I was not going to allow him to step all over me."So you were flirting with him, huh?" he looked mad, he took a threatening step towards me. I stood my ground and crossed my arms in front of my chest."I was not flirting with him!" I stressed out each word through my clenched teeth."Then who is he?!" he demanded, his eyes locked with mine, unwavering."Why do you care?!"He didn't say anything, we were both breathing harshly. We didn't move an inch, our intense gaze clashed with each other.Su
I knew he was happy that the boys accepted me. He was just trying to cover up. Suddenly the doorbell rang. "It must be them," Paul stated. "I got this," I told them and made my way to get the door. I opened it to witness the guy that I met at the mall a few days ago with Rachel and Eric, beside him, there stood a handsome Asian guy. Jake looked shocked at my presence but he started smiling at my wide eyes and parted lips. I bet I looked like a Pikachu right now. "Catherine! Never expected that you'll stalk me, all you have to do is call me." he gave me a cheeky wink. My mouth opened and closed like a fish out of water. He laughed heartily at my expression and tapped on my nose. "Just kidding," he gave me a lopsided grin. After they entered, I closed the door behind us. Jake looked like he was on cloud nine. "Briton! Man, took you long to reach here?" Paul asked Jake and did a bro hug with him followed by the Asian guy, whose la
I opened and closed my mouth like a fish out of water to give him a comeback but I couldn't find anything intelligible. So, I swatted his chest playfully and made my way to Eric who was now looking at Xander with his big brown eyes filled with approbation. I could hear Xander's hearty chuckle from my behind, because of my reaction. I scowled at him and crossed my arms in front of my chest. "Where is your granny? She asked me to bring her some plant saplings," he informed me and scanned our garden for her. "She went to the town to meet her old friend," I notified him. She knew that we had more than enough saplings to plant. She told me that she will be meeting her friend the previous night, then why did she ask him for more saplings. I swear that old lady was trying to set me up with Xander, not that I was complaining but still my feeling for him was complicated. I'll talk to her once she came home. "Okay then, I'll help you guys with this work
They both made their way to the washbasin in our garden and washed their face and hands. Xander helped the little boy to clean up.*Giggles*"That tickles, Zandiii." Eric squealed and squirmed in his large muscular arms. Xander laughed genuinely at the little boy. He looked so happy and carefree as if he was showing his true self. I looked at the beautiful sight in front of me with a big smile on my face. I felt so warm and fuzzy all over my heart.I picked two towels and went near them. Our eyes clashed with each other, I gave one to Xander and bent to Eric's height, wiping the water off his face and hand."What did you make for us, Aunt, Kitty?" the little champ asked me, he was a little jumpy on his toes. I really didn't know where he was getting all this energy from."Chicken sandwich and lemonade," I answer him in a soft voice. His eyes lit up instantly and he dashed to the stone bench where our food was located. I chortled softly at his retre
