CHAPTER SEVENTY-FIVE
We walked into the large room, the blue paint aligning with the big chairs arranged at the far off end from the entrance.
The other side was a floor length glass that had a sliding door, leading to the backyard with relaxing couches arranged at the patio.
But the star of the show was the large, Jacuzzi situated in the middle of the big room.
It was built into a wooden colored tile thingy and the heat coming off of it seemed to be calling my name.
“Check this out!” Anna excitedly said as she ran to the stuff of our imaginations and she began touching some nobs and I was tempted to tell her to stop to avoid spoiling something but she must have done this before. She seemed quite confident about it as jets of water began pouring, bubbles formed as well as she touched it, she nodded her head.
“Wait, we can't go in dressed like this, let's go change,” I said to her, already excited about the new experience. Although the reason for dressing all up had been defeated, I didn't focus on it.
“Okay. That makes sense. I just remembered, I tried calling to see if I could convince that asshole to let me talk to her but he didn't pick up. I mean, he never lets us through but he always picks, always,” My sister asked me concerned and I felt a huge amount of guilt after forgetting that she was supposed to be coming in today.
“Xavier spoke to him this morning and she's supposed to have been here before I got back, I'm surprised she's not here yet. I'm such a terrible friend, I completely forgot,”
“Damn. Why not call The King? I mean, if he has decided to run away, the earlier he's aware, the better,”
“You know what? You're right, I'll do that immediately,” I said as we stepped back into the living room.
Theresa and some of the drivers were sitting there, watching television.
“Did anyone come in here with a human girl?” I asked them.
“Damn, more of you are coming in here?” Someone muttered out loud in irritation.
“What did you say?” I asked angrily, walking closer to the ginger-haired Moderate. His face was blue but he had freckles and golden eyes. He would have been considered beautiful if he didn't have so much hatred in him.
“I'm sorry, Your Majesty. He didn't mean that at all,” Theresa pleaded for him.
“You're his mouthpiece?” I snapped at her interference.
I could beat people hating me outside of the mansion but being despised by people under my own roof didn't sit right with me. It takes just one rough push down a flight of stairs and I'll be dead.
The boy couldn't meet my eyes, quickly looking a little repentant after Theresa's interference but I knew I had to talk to Xavier about it.
“What's your name?”
“Trevor,” he grumbled
I nodded and asked the same question I did earlier and they confirmed my fears. She wasn't here yet and that couldn't mean anything good.
So I brought out my phone and searched for Xavier's contact on my phone, remembering he had saved it himself the other day.
My chest did a backflip at what he'd saved it with.
Xavier❤️
It was simple but at that point, he was trying so hard to be an a-hole yet he couldn't resist.
Holding back the smile trying to creep up on my face, I called the number and waited.
Anna sighed beside me and I noticed she was biting her lower lip which she did when she was nervous and it only worsened my own fear.
“Hello,” I heard from the phone, Xavier's raspy voice coming through
“You're not back,”
“You miss me?” He asked smugly.
“It's not about that, I got home and I didn't see Rose and her baby father isn't picking our calls either,” I explained the predicament to him.
“Hmm. I'll look into it, okay? Don't fret over it, alright? Eat and go to bed, I'll be home late,” he instructed and I nodded before remembering he couldn't see me.
“Okay, thank you,” I said verbally speaking my compliance before cutting the call.
I told Anna what he said and we decided to go back to the Jacuzzi as planned.
After getting into our pool wears, we ran back downstairs, our excitement gradually returning.
The moment I sank into the water, I felt completely at peace, and then Anna splashed water on my face.
“So, wanna tell me why you're scared of seeing this boy outside of school?” I coyly asked her, hoping to get her to open up to me. Anna wasn't as verbal with her emotions as me so whenever she was in a good mood, I tried to get her to open up.
I found out she was getting bullied in junior high while we were having a family picnic and everyone was happy and laughing.
After hearing my question, her mood went down the drain and I felt bad for ruining the moment.
“He’s not who I thought he was, that's all,”
I sat up in the tub, fear curling in my stomach.
“Oh. Did he.. did he try to hurt you or something?”
“Not physically. I mean, I don't understand these alien’s obsession with sex. I told him I wasn't in that headspace yet and he flipped completely. He's been making fun of me to the entire class for the past week,” she whispered, biting her lips.
“Sex? You've barely been there for a month or so. When did you guys even make it official?”
“That's the crazy part, they just do it among themselves, no tags or anything. I don't even think they believe in cheating except a soul mate tie is involved and that's still on the female side. Besides, even if we were dating, I still wouldn't be ready to have sex right now. I don't know enough about it to try just for somebody,” she gushed and I could see she was holding back tears.
I rushed to her, hugging her tightly.
“I'm so sorry that happened to you. He's dumb and I'm so happy he showed his real colors right now, rather than allowing you fall deeply for him and getting hurt a hundred times more,”
“You're right,”
“He's a pig for messing with you. There's absolutely no other choice he'll make that will beat you. You're like a golden egg,”
“Now you're overdoing it,” she laughed, pushing out of my embrace and shooting me water again and we began the water battle again.
We played for a while, laughing at each other's theatrics until we got tired.
We didn't even know it was quite late when we got out of the Jacuzzi room, I saw the time on my phone and shook my head.
Thankfully, there was no work tomorrow and I'll spend it probably hanging out with Rose and Anna or finally finishing that book. It just felt weird touching it again after I fingered myself to orgasm while Xavier watched with the book in hand. But the plot was amazing so I'll go back to it.
I walked into the living room, expecting to see the guards back on their positions but what I saw was different and I couldn't even define what I felt at the sight.
Lisa and Xavier had their tongues shoved down each other's throats and something broke inside me.
