Chapter 22: S**t

Mi sono pentito spesso del mio discorso ma mai del mio silenzio-

X_X +_+

I was sitting on the swing I saw on the pool side on the roof top when I heard Skylar's car rolling in. I look down through the glass wall to make sure she was the one just in case. It been two days since the dinner and Xavier is back to being indifferent as if he didn't give me a smile that made my whole body melt, I mentally rolled my eye at myself for thinking like that.

Maybe it a regular thing, if it is, he's motto should be once an asshole always an asshole.

He doesn't join me for dinner like pearl said but at least he eats, but that got me thinking'

why doesn't he eat ?                                                                                                                                                        does he have eating disorder?                                                                                                                                            can boys have eating disorder

but he's not thin infact he's muscular and looks quiet edibl-

'MIRA' Skylar shouted making me flinch at the intensity of her voice

'COMING' I shouted back a little lower than she did.

I was planning on going downstairs before the thought of her brother filled my mind

."Where were you" she questioned as I got downstairs.

"Good morning to you too Skylar"

"Were you Xavier doing the deeds, you look like you got runned over" on a normal day i would have screamed or screeched at her but it is Skylar, for the short period I've known her, I know anything can come out of her mouth.

"just because I didn't comb my hair doesn't mean I got runned over and Xavier is not around, I had the house to myself, peacefully reading a book on the rooftop

"The last time you told everyone that Xavier was not around you-"

"okay Skylar we get, it I'm bored and tired, don't add to it." I was so embarrassed when Xavier came down while we were preparing dinner that day when mom and dad and aunt Maya came I told everyone that Xavier was not around cause I've not seen him since morning and i also expected him to be at work as usual. Pearl even  tried saying otherwise but I  told her I've not seen him since morning and she also tried calling him but he didn't pick'

so imagine the embarrassment I felt when he came down the stairs in all his glory. Skylar wasn't there but I told her that night we were talking.

"Okay, okay suit yourself" she laughed a little before holding her forehead and groaning  "I'm going to sleep a little, I was helping mum and dad pack yesterday I didn't get enough sleep, I think I sense a migraine coming, my head is pounding"

"Oh did you need drugs I can go-

"No don't worry I'm sure it's nothing,  it'll go if I  sleep it off"

" Yeah okay I'll wake you up when dinner is ready Emily already prepared your room"

Since the day was still young, I decided to finish the remaining pages in my book before I cooked dinner and I was too lazy to go back to the rooftop to continue so I curled upside down on the couch in the living room enjoying the final happily ever after of the story while grinning like a fool, it was so cheesy, they main character gets the girl even thought I like the other guy a little more.

Too into my fantasy, I did not notice a certain someone enter through the front door, neither did I realize that the summer gown I wore had fallen and gathered below my mid thigh and my thick thighs are on display if it moved any further so will my panties.

I felt it. The hot stare, The shiver that ran through my spine but I brushed it of as nothing, I was determined not to get distracted again as I continue dandling my leg upside down in the air still grinning cause the book was getting steamy

A loud clear of someone's throat interrupted me and I jerked like I've been caught stealing from worlds bank. The book flung to one side but unfortunately so did my body, my head on the ground while my body twisted in an uncomfortable position.

"arghhhhhhh shiit" I groaned and held my head when heard a soft chuckle

I gathered my self as I look up to find Xavier standing at the door way with an amused grin on his stupidly handsome face if I wasn't so angry I would have noticed his collar bone and his muscular arms and veiny hand on display. And maybe I did.

I didn't know I have a thing for collar bone especially if it-

focus

I dragged my eyes back to his face to see he was already smirking.

The nerves of this man

I shoot up from the floor ready to give him a piece of my mind for leaving a damsel in distress

"You are for sure a certified asshole, it was confirmed."

" By who" he taunted.

" By the........"

"The who."

"Let me finish" I finally snapped at him not noticing he already coming towards me.

"You were the one who fell your self I did nothing." he said his voice calm and husky as usual

Exactly

"I fell cause you scared me."

"How, I was simply walking by."

"If you wanted my attention so badly you could have just called my name." I taunted  folding my arms around my chest trying not to move back in every step he took towards me.

"I did but you were too busy."  he motion to the book that was now sitting at the base of the couch the cover very visible .  "Reading smut."

I can feel my cheek heat up but I don't exactly know why, maybe it was because Xavier just caught me reading smut or the fact that his eyes flickered to my chest for a second. My arms is still wrapped around my chest pushing my breast up and putting my cleavage on full display, embarrassed I dropped my arms.

I wasn't trying to seduce him it was the other way round.

"it wasn't smut." I lied through my teeth.

"Of course it wasn't" sarcasm dripping in his words I decided to save myself and drop the smut topic.

"You didn't deny wanting my attention" I smirked at him "I always knew you has softspot for me" I teased.

He rolled his eyes and said  "I just wanted to remined you that you aren't living here alone so you can't walk around half dress" he said in a serious face telling me he wasn't joking like I would have thought.

My jaw dropped as I looked down on my ankle long flower printed summer dress with spaghetti strap arm that I tied to the top of my shoulder.

When I look up back he was almost at the stairs.

"You are must be freaking kidding right now  my how   I'm I half dress."

he didn't look back at me he just continued walking before I heard him say,

"You were few minute ago." he retort over his shoulder.

What is he a cave man

the nerve of this man.

Why was he home by this time anyways.

That evening I made dinner in anger debating on weather to add extra chili or salt to his food or I  should just poison him and do the world a favor

When dinner was ready I went to get Skylar from the guest room, it looks like the headache was still there but she shrugged it off. Xavier joined us for dinner,  he and Skylar made small talk.

During dinner I noticed Skylar's phone binged a message but this time there was no side smile, she just ignored it and put it in silence.

Dinner was relatively calmer than the first time, when we were done Skylar helped  with the dishes while Mr-i-won-the-title-asshole-26timesinarow left his plate without a simple thank you.

What are the odds I can pay my way out of jail if I kill him.

Through out the whole dishwashing thingy Skylar was distracted and clearly disturbed.

Was her boyfriend cheating on her.

I decided to ease into thing so it won't look like I'm prying.

"So" I started,  "what happened, is something wrong."  I asked suddenly as we made our way upstairs ready to call it a night.

"No..nothing really, nothing that important."

she clearly didn't want to talk about it so I just left it.

"Oh...okay." I said showing in my tone that I didn't believe it for a second.

"Good night." I said lingering a little to see if she still wanted to talk but to my disappointment she just just muttered a soft good night and headed to the guest bedroom which was across the hall way.

I sighed as I entered my room I did my night routine, changed to my silk night robe,  one of the ones I bought during the shopping and went to bed but I wasn't really feeling sleepy, I didn't really do anything exhausting during the day apart from arguing with Xavier, it is on night like this my insomniac tendencies come out.

My mind was still spiraling with thought when I heard a soft knock on my door

"Coming." I said to the person on the other side of the door expecting them to come in

When the person still didn't enter I realize I said 'coming, instead of 'come in'

"Sorry, come in." the door slowly crept open reveling Skylar.

I knew something was wrong, I sat up and  stare at her as she slowly walked up and climbed on my bed closing the door behind her.

She settled on the bed facing me when she finally said,

"you are right something is wrong."
