"Guess who finally decided to grace us with their presence?" Melissa shouted as she opened the door, Smiling at Maya.
"Good evening, Brother."
She looked really beautiful in her champagne coloured strapless gown and her hair was stretched and made to fall flat underneath her chin.
Chuckling, she came close to Xavier and whispering into his ear, she left.
"Never pegged you as a guy who will want to own a house. Thought you will be more of an apartment type of guy you know." She said trying to start up a conversation as the sound of their footwear against the tile floor was the only sound around them.
"Why?"
"Don't owning a house scare you? Like scream commitment and marriage? You don't look like a man ready to accommodate such frivolities, you Know the whole fairytale package so why make room for a possible family?"
Maya gasped, relieved that he had thought of buying her an engagement ring and confused that his words were getting to her and making her emotional. Even though she knew, none of that happened. It was just a beautiful love story. The fairytale she had visualized with Jason. "Maya, I know you have already said yes to marrying me, but a man like myself can never be too sure. Since you can have totally anyone but still picked me. I am a lucky bastard, I dare to say and might be pushing my luck way too far by asking the second time.." Mrs Salvador chuckled while Maya sniffed. Mr Dominic rolled his eyes. ~Of course his son would think of a ring. "Will you Maya make this man really happy and marry him inspite of his massive ego, his tantrums, temper, imperfections and obsession with his look..." He grinned at the last part while Maya chuckled nodding. &nbs
"Who is that woman? No who is her daughter rather and what was she talking about?" Maya asked still sniffing, starring at Mrs Salvador expectantly for answers.Mrs Sophia starred at Maya for a while not at all surprised that Xavier hasn't told her anything about Diana. It was a sore topic for Xavier and she didn't have the guts to bring it up. She never discussed it with him, couldn't, even till date"I can't. It is Xavier's story to tell.""Of course! Because he was the one who such hurtful words were being hurled at!" Maya sarcastically commented annoyed."I am sorry." She whispered almost immediately, realizing how much of an ingrate she was being to a woman who had stood up for her more than her own biological mother would.Mrs Salvador smiled sadly, taking her hand into hers."I take no offense and I understand. Honestly, I would love to tell
I don't know what you are talking about Tyler. But yes I was just Xavier's personal assistant and trust me, everything happened so fast. Yes a month ago I was sure I didn't want anything to do with Xavier but I have seen another side of him. The one that the tabloids and the camera has not been able to catch a glimpse of," She whispers smiling. "And honestly, I want to marry that man. What difference does it make if we wait for a year or two? When I can spend that time waking up with him beside me. Xavier is it for me." Maya edged closer towards him while he starred at her totally perplexed and lost. "If that will be all Tyler, my fiance is waiting for me. You should come too, it will be nice to have a familiar face around. Trust me your family members are sharks!" She whispered, chuckling a little at the last part and with that she was heading towards the door praying it was the right direction to the dining. She
The car ride back to Maya's house was uncomfortably quiet as they both sticked to starring out of their window unsure of what to say to the order and overwhelmed by the unexpected events of the night.Maya turned, watching him. The breeze ruffled his hair.She chuckled as he frowns, closing the window angrily."You are such a girl" She whispered, amused that he was touchy about his hair."How did you know?""Know what?" She asked, a smile still on her face."My favorite food and colour. Those are unnecessary details, I hardly share." He stated."By mere observation. You are always asking Maria at the front desk to make orders for your dinner. Though the bananas here are not as fresh as that of an island, your choice of food screamed island guy. What happened to hamburgers, pizza and fries? Italian food and why the fuck was it
"How was the party?" Jasmine asked immediately she got inside.She wasn't even surprised that they were not asleep yet obviously waiting for her, expecting her to divulge every little detail of her night out with Xavier."Fine" she whispered, lazily slumping on the couch."Just fine?" Jasmine asked, disappointed."Yes, just fine." She replied."Give us something. What was the event like? Now, can you agree with me that this events are a bore? Besides, what was the sexual tension simmering on the air between you and Xavier? You both looked like...""Can you fucking back off and stop yapping? I said the party was fucking perfect. Won't you let it go at that?" Maya yelled.Jessica starred at her in shock.Maya has never raised her voice at anyone... Ever!Maya frowned and as she wal
As the car manoeuvred into a bushy trail, a path filled with grass and rock. Maya turned to look at Xavier who had dismissed the driver and for the first time was behind the wheel."You know if you want to kill me, and burry my body where it can't be found. There are less complicated methods. Not by paralyzing me with a rod or something and leaving me as food for some animals to consume." She said, in-between Making a joke of how tensed she was and being serious.Was he going to hold her with one hand ontop of a cliff and make her promise to do all his biddings? She thought shaking her head, as she began to reconsider Jasmine's idea of reducing the way she watched crime thrillers."If you keep on talking, you just might give me ideas." He threatened and Rolling his eyes, he opened the door and came out.Not wanting to upset him, unsure if he was Serious about his threat or joking since his damn
Did you reschedule all my evening dates, Xavier asked. She nodded, still perusing through a file. "Why would you do that?" He curiously asked. She shrugged. "Today is the 11th of June." She simply stated, going back to her work. "11th of June and so?" He asked, arching his brows, a gesture Maya finds insanely attractive while he wonders what goes on in the head of this assistant of his. Why cancel appointments? Because it is June, he thought. She stared at him in disbelief. "11th of June, doesn't ring a bell in your business cramped memory?" She asked. He stared at her, thinking hard but shook his head. She threw a mini-sized stapler at him, which he timely dodged. Then glared at her, wondering w
The doorbell rings and Maya checks her wristwatch, confused. It was just some minutes past 7, So it wasn't Xavier and as far as she knew, none of the girls were expecting anybody. "Coming." Jasmine hollered, heading for the door. She turned back to the mirror as she pondered on what to do with her hair. She was tempted to pin her hair up, going for classic chic since the gathering was not a family event but was also open to the public and the well public was just a good way of saying vain obnoxious, rich individuals. Melissa had explained to her, that it was mandatory to send an invite to them no matter how toxic, bitter and annoying they could get. Though Maya didn't get it, like why invite someone she couldn't stand to her party, like it's my birthday party bitch, she understood that things were a bit different for them wit
