Xavier FINAL(98)
I stepped out of the car and held my hands up. “At least tell me what I did.”
“If this thing we’re doing is so awful then I don’t want to do it anymore.”
“Did you hear what I said to River?” She didn’t answer. “It was just shit talk. How do you think things are gonna be when my brothers are around? They’re gonna pressure me and I’m gonna tell them the same shit. What we have is ours, no one else’s.”
“Unless you get pissed Xavier. Unless you want someone to not look at my tits. Unless you feel threatened.”
“Well what do you want a fucking proposal?”
“I want space.”
“It’s because you have your--.”
“You are a complete boner you know that?”
“Boner? How the fuck old are you?”
She reached over and slammed the door. I stood and watched as the cab drove down the road.
I shoved my hands in my pocket to grab my phone and it was gone. “Fuck!”
I walked in and went back to River’s table.
“This your phone man?”
“Thanks.”
“She take off?”
“Yeah she did. See you Monday?”
“Sure thing.”
I got in the SUV and drove to as fast as I could to try to catch up and I did. I followed. And parked in front of her place.
I waited until she got out and the cab to pull away before I got out.
“Taelyn wait just a minute.”
“Xavier, it’s been a long day.”
“I’m sorry. I’m sorry I don’t want people looking at your tits okay and I’m sorry I want this to be just ours.”
“Okay.”
“You sure it’s okay?”
“Yep,” she opened the door and walked in holding the door she turned and looked at me. “I’m tired. I’ll see you tomorrow.”
“Seriously?”
She looked me straight in the eyes. “Goodnight.”
Chapter 24
Spidey Love
I woke in the morning to the phone ringing. It was nine and I was exhausted even though I never slept that late.
“Hello?”
“Taelyn, its Billy.”
“Hi Billy were we supposed to meet today?”
“No. I have something to tell you and I want you to understand that if I knew it was going to hurt you I would have never been part of it.”
“Okay.” What the hell was he talking about?
“I took the pictures at the bar that night.”
“You what?”
“My movie date was with a girl I have been seeing on and off for a few weeks now. Her name is--.”
“Angel.”
“Taelyn I am so sorry. She told me about this asshole that used her. He broke her heart. I had no idea who Xavier was and then when he came after me, well it was the only thing I could do. She told me he was a user and that he should have to pay for it. I took the pictures at the bar. The others were her. The ones of him from a few months ago were traced to the TV station. I assume she was selling them. Her parents are broke--.”
“Hold on. I just woke up. I need a minute to try to figure it all out.”
“I understand.”
I walked out on the balcony hoping the cold air would wake me up a bit. “Okay so she sold photos to the television station?”
“The picture of her, you know.”
“Sucking Xavier’s dick.”
“Yeah, that one was traced back to the stations IP address. She doesn’t know I’m telling you this.”
“You should stay away from her. She told Xavier she’s in love with Daniel. She told you she’s in love with Xavier. You’ll be the next one she’s bashing. You’re a nice guy--.”
