Xavier FINAL(13)

By:MJ Fields


     “Here are the addresses James.” He handed him a piece of paper.

     He walked around the car and threw his coat on the trunk. He loosened his tie and unbuttoned the top three buttons of his shirt. I saw some of a tattoo the shirt covered and remembered he was the same man I saw on the internet, naked, with a guitar. Serious about music? Yeah I bet. I watched as he took a deep breath and then grabbed his jacket.

     He opened the door, slid in next to me, threw his coat over his lap, and let out a deep breath.

     “Mr. Steel I am sorry if…”

     He let out a low rumbling laugh. “Xavier. Please call me Xavier.”

     “Fine. Xavier, we’re getting off on the wrong foot here. If I’m not what you want then…”

     He laughed again and looked at me narrowing his eyes briefly. “We’ll work out just fine Taelyn. Late start to my day set the tone for me to be a little off. Let’s just go check out some of these buildings and move on from there.”

     We visited four places. Some old buildings, office spaces at strip malls, and other shared spaces. None were the same and I was hoping to gain insight to what it was Xavier Steel was looking for. Which I didn’t. What I did see where four different female realtors, all pretty, all flirtatious, and all received smiles and the same type of behavior they gave him.

     We broke for a late lunch, just him and I. I would be a liar if I said Xavier Steel wasn’t a beautiful man. His body was long and lean; you could tell that it was amazing. His dress pants were riding low on his waist and on the looser side. The exception was his ass. The pants clung to them.

     I grew up in a home with men who were genetically predisposition to have beautiful builds, so it wasn’t as if something like that could, or would, affect a woman like me. I was nearly engaged and very happy with the man Daniel was. He liked me to be a lady. I was pretty sure Xavier Steel wasn’t like that. I bet he was into those club girls. The ones whose dresses where too tight and way too short.

     He pulled out the chair for me and I sat. “Thank you.”

     He sat across from me and it was unavoidable, I had to look at the man, really look at him and I wasn’t comfortable at all doing that. As the women earlier mentioned, Xavier had amazing eyes. He also had a square jaw, full lips, and hair that was thick and unruly on top. He was a very attractive man. Very attractive to girls everywhere we had been today and I’m sure girls everywhere in general. Like all the girls we had met today. All would have loved to have them in their bed. You could see it in the looks they gave him and the return conceited, arrogant, somewhat alluring, return smolder in his eyes made everyone aware he knew it too.

     “Tell me about Harvard.” He asked as he picked up a menu and looked at it.

     “Well, it’s in Massachusetts.” He lowered the menu so I could see his whole face now. “It’s an Ivy league…”

     He leaned back in his chair looking very amused. “I’m well aware of what it is Taelyn. I’m asking about your boyfriend.”

     “Daniel?”

     “Harvard works, but fine, Daniel.” He looked down and unbuttoned his shirt sleeves and pushed them up. More tattoos.

     “He’s going to be a doctor.”

     “Save the world, that kind of thing?”

     “No. His parents are both doctors.” I felt myself getting a little upset. “This is personal.”

     “We’re at lunch. Two people sharing a meal. It’s that kind of atmosphere.”

     Sarcastic ass. “Fine. If we’re on a personal level tell me what it is exactly you plan to do.”

     “Start a production company.”

     And that’s all he said.

     “With your family backing you, but you won’t use their office space?”

     He tensed a bit but tried not to show I had just struck a nerve.

     “No. I plan to do it myself. There’s nothing wrong with working for what you have Miss Patrick.”

     We were back to Miss Patrick now. And what the hell did he know about hard work. “I’m not afraid to work.”
