Xavier's Surrogate MR. STONE
Halle really wished she could enjoy her weekend as she had planned to. In her five days and nights of horror, Halle pictured herself constantly on her bed, in a warm bath, a hot bath…under a hot shower. Yet here she was, practically paralyzed from exhaustion on her bed and waiting for an email. It was a bright Sunday morning, the best day of the week for Halle as she had absolutely nowhere to go, there were no classes or shifts at the Matten Bar. Everything should’ve been perfect and relaxing but Halle found her mind drifting as she brushed her teeth, as she took a shower, and put on her clothes, she still thought about checking her email. It had only been a few hours, Halle managed to get proper sleep but not nearly enough considering the amount of sleep she had already missed out on in the past week. Greta and Simon had left sometime in the early hours of the morning, she knew because she felt a peck on her cheek ad remembered the scent of roses, Greta’s favorite scent. She had
Xavier's Surrogate TOMORROW
Their coffees came before Halle could ask the thousand and one questions that were in her head. Marta stayed quiet, and elegantly she opened the cup of coffee that was brought in a ceramic china mug with a little lid on it and added two spoons of sugar to it, and stirred. It was only after she had put the spoon down and taken the first sip of coffee did she finally raise her head to look at Halle. Halle waited patiently, the steam coming from the mug in front of her warmed up her face and the scent of the coffee was strong, earthy...It was quality coffee, Halle could tell from the scent that assailed her nostrils and calmed her nerves. “Mr. Stone highly recommended you for this job Halle, but I had to do my research first and be sure you were the right choice, after all, this matter is of the utmost importance,” Martha said with a serious tone and then took another sip and let out a blissful sigh. “Is Mr. Stone the person in need of a surrogate?” Halle couldn’t help but ask, Martha
Xavier's Surrogate MAN-CHILD
“Do you think you’re better than the other girls who have worked their asses off to get here?” “Do you think you have any worth?” “You have no use, you’ll never have any worth!” “I have never loved you, you disgust me!” Halle woke up with a gasp and a choked cough. Her eyes were wide with panic and fear as she struggled to catch her breath and get her lungs to work properly. Her heart was pounding so fast that it was painful, her hand moved up to her chest as she groaned in agony, her clothes were drenched in sweat and even her forehead dripped sweat into her eyes. She looked around as she tried to catch her breath, rays of sunlight streamed through the curtains and it bounced off the white walls of her apartment and created a beautiful light. Her apartment. Yes, she was home. She was no longer in her country with her mother or the girls. She was home. Halle let out a shaky breath, her heart calming slightly as she kept looking around the bedroom, her eyes drinking in every d
Xavier's Surrogate LUXURY
The drive was long, the driver didn’t say a word to Halle in those three hours that they drove, instead, he kept his focused eyes on the road and didn’t spare her another glance. Was he shy or was he just a people person? Maybe both, Halle thought to herself. She spent the rest of the ride looking out the window, awed by the places they had passed and realizing just how little of the country she’s seen in the past three years she’s been here. There was almost no chance to do anything else though, with her crazy shifts and classes during the day time, the only days Halle knew she didn’t do anything were on Sundays and then she’d be too tired and lazy to go anywhere so she’ll spend her entire day on her bed. Today was a Sunday and here she was, on the road. They passed by skyscrapers, old buildings, and fancy neighborhoods, it didn’t take long for Halle to realize that they had left the capital, and strangely enough, she had expected that the Stones would live in the capital just li
Xavier's Surrogate HER NEW BOSS
“Would you like to have anything to drink? Or eat? Have you had breakfast?”While Martha bombarded her with questions about her comfort, Halle’s mouth was still slightly agape as she looked deeper into the details of the house. It was magnificent.“Is this where I’m going to be staying for the next year?” It was a sobering thought, it was just a house…but it also made Halle realize the gravity of the decision she had made.“Yes, except if you don’t feel comfortable living with Mr. Stone?” Martha’s brows furrowed with an emotion that seemed more like discontent. Halle swallowed and shook her head immediately.“No, of course not I was…just asking, you don’t live here?”“No, I don’t,”Halle nodded and moved her eyes down to her fiddling fingers, her teeth biting into her bottom lip like it was an offensive part of her body that needed to be chewed off and thrown away.Don’t bite your lip, flower.Woah.Woah! Don’t think about that!“I…sorry,” Halle smiled apologetically reali
Xavier's Surrogate HOPEFULLY
“So you’ll be living with them?”“Yes,”“In the most expensive estate in the country?” Greta practically squealed out in excitement, her ass at the edge of her seat as she took a large gulp of the beer Halle bought her and then grinned wider.“Yes…” Halle fought back a grin at the woman’s excitement.Greta was two years older than Halle, they had met in college in the most unlikely of ways and soon they were inseparable, Greta was the reason why Halle hadn’t died of starvation when she had first arrived, as she didn’t know anything and she was just a clueless foreigner. Halle loved the woman more than words could describe and she couldn’t be more excited for what the future would bring the both of them. Halle felt somewhat lighter when the woman walked into her home for the first time in two years, Halle could smile freely at Greta because she knew that she could finally pay every debt.Greta was also a student and she was also sponsoring herself in school before graduating the
Xavier's Surrogate WRONG
The sun was already up when Halle woke up that morning, its brightness and warmth caressed her eyes and made her groan in annoyance.She had forgotten to close the curtains again, she thought.“Wake up sleepy head, I think you’ve slept enough,”Great, now even the sunlight was talking to her too, it sounded smug and a whole lot like a certain redhead who sometimes acted like her life purpose was to make Halle sleep deprived.Wait… Greta?“Get up bitch or the next thing you’ll be getting is an ice bucket!” Greta said louder, her threat was enough to open Halle’s sleep-heavy eyes.It was so fucking bright!Halle hissed as she brought her palms up to her face just so she could block the light from hitting her eyes.“Oh don’t be so dramatic,” Greta was close to her the next second, pulling her hands away from her face and practically carrying her out of bed. Greta’s hand was behind her waist and under her legs as she took her off the bed and then placed her on the floor a few st
Xavier's Surrogate XAVIER STONE
The drive was as long and as quiet as yesterday’s, Halle felt slightly uncomfortable and maybe a bit embarrassed. Maybe she should not have asked about Mr. Stone. It seems like everyone is bent on keeping whatever the famed yet unknown owner of Stone Corp was doing a secret even to her who he’d just hired. Halle wished she could play along, as a child she was very good at keeping her mouth shut. Her words were never valued and never believed, she held countless secrets, and in a way, if spoke to the right person she could’ve been able to destroy a lot of lives. People said a lot of shit in front of her because they felt or rather they knew she wasn’t capable of saying those words out loud to anyone. Halle pursed her lips and turned her gaze back to hard jawed Monty who was clenching the steering wheel so hard that veins bulged from his hand and neck. “Are you okay,” “No,” He said, surprising her, “I’m angry and no—” he shook his head, “I am not going to tell you the reason so don
