"Now what shall we call you from here on?" Xavier asked me "Lady Royalty or Royalty?"
"I like plain old Royalty more." I answered
We all laughed. Xavier kissed my cheek and I giggled a little. I couldn't wait to get home.
I woke up to the piercing sun ray coming through my window the next morning. I stretched and yawned and rolled out of bed slowly. I walked into the bathroom slowly as I stifled a huge yawn. I brushed my teeth and fixed my hair a little.
Getting longer everyday! Almost mid back! We're making progress.
I wanted to grow my hair past my waist. Ever since I was small I wanted to do that.
Good thing it was soft and silky and not hard to manage!
I went downstairs rubbing the sleep out my eyes. I saw the boys sitting in the sitting room playing cards and chattering in Italian. I walked passed blushing bright red. I had no idea what to say to him. The kitchen was empty thankfully and I flew into the fridge. I fished around a little then took out the grape jam.
"Ignoring me now?" a voice asked making me jump a little.
I turned around to see Xavier leaning on the counter smirking at me.
Gosh! He looks so good in the morning!
I closed the fridge.
Yes.
"N-No." I stammered tucking a piece of hair behind my ear
"So why'd you pass?" he raised an eyebrow
"I-I didn't know what to actually say to you." I replied blushing "It's the first time I've been a relationship and I'm a little nervous about it."
He chuckled a little and drew close.
"Nothing to be afraid of with me." he softly said "Just be yourself."
He leaned in and kissed my cheek me softly, still knowing my lips were virgin.
"Let's go somewhere where it's just the two of us." he suggested "Let's get to know each other."
I nodded and took hold of his hand and he gently led me out the kitchen. The other raised eyebrows as we passed but I didn't care.
Getting to know Xavier would be the best thing ever!
My inner little fan girl started screaming. He led me behind the staircase and down a short corridor with five doors. Each door had the names of the boys but there was one with the name covered with white paper.
Who is the fifth?
Xavier led me to his study and opened the door. No one was allowed into his unless he sent for you so I was a little tense entering into forbidden territory. He sensed my tension.
"No need to be so tense." he assured me "You can come here whenever you want."
I smiled. He switched on the light and I just shook my head. A typical boy room! Papers and folders scattered everywhere with guns and pieces and DVD's. His headphones, computer and speakers were all over.
"Don't you clean?" I put my hands on my hips
"I don't expect guest in here." he ran his fingers through his hair "Not even Chrissy. I like being alone so I come here for peace and quiet."
"Talk later more cleaning." I shook my head at the room.
Boys were so messy!
I bent down and gathered the loose sheets of papers and put them into a neat stack with the folders. I picked up his laptop and shut it off placing it on the desk with his headphones and speakers. I cleaned up a little until he had a tidy room.
"Wow." he gasped looking at me while he leaned on the door "You finished in ten minutes. I normally start but never finished as I get distracted with one thing or another."
"For Pete's sake keep it a little tidy at times or I'm going to scold you." I teased making him laugh.
"That wouldn't be a bad idea." he joked "I wouldn't mind your lovely voice giving me orders."
I blushed and turned away a little.
"Sit." he pointed to his arm huge chair getting off the door
I did as he said and he sat down next to me.
"I'll be honest by saying I'm a little nervous talking to you right now." he confessed "I haven't dated a girl in months- or maybe years!"
I giggled.
"Why not?" I asked
"Never found the right one." he answered "You?"
I looked away then looked back.
"I've only been in two so far." I answered "As much as I was a cheerleader I kept a low profile. I was scared of anyone knowing about my life in Miami."
"Royalty..." he looked at me "I want you to tell me anything and everything."
"Alright." I joked "I love the ocean and water sports. I love starfishes mostly the small ones. I love pizza and strawberries drowned in cream. I hate too much cold weather. I love being outside and my favorite color is white. Your turn."
"I love racing. I like dolphins and whip cream." he replied "I love reading and my favorite colors are black and silver. Oh, I love tigers, American football, cars and food!"
I laughed at the word 'food'.
"Is eating all you love?" I teased
He chuckled and leaned in close to my lips.
Gosh they're soft.
"You're the second best thing to food." he mumbled against them
"Second?" I teased
"Ok. Maybe first." he smiled "Alright shoot. Ask me anything?"
"Favorite shoes?" I inquired
"Timberlands all the way!" he answered and I laughed "I'm afraid to ask you."
"I love platform converse sneakers." I replied "I love high top converses too."
"I was expecting to hear 'every one invented'." he confessed and I giggled
"Why?"
"Neveah has a whole mall of shoes!"
I couldn't help giggling again. Neveah had every shoes possibly invented and in every possible color. You could never not match your outfit! The good thing is we wear the same size!
"When's your birthday?" he asked
"August 16. I know yours already."
"What is it?"
"December 7."
"Damm you're good. And Chrissy's?"
"Umm....January 8.... I think."
"Yep. Jianan's?"
"November 20."
"Geovanni?"
"I have no idea!"
"It's February 28. Favorite music, celebrity, profession, favourite food and drink?"
"Rap or pop, Mariano Di Vaio, model, pancakes and tropical fruit smoothies. You?"
