Xavier's Surrogate REGAL
He was able to find and contact her this entire time but yet he didn’t. Halle always believed that he was probably dead, seeing the kind of lifestyle he was into, she feared that the people he said were after him finally got to him and killed him. Yet here he was. He was seated on the royal blue sofa when Halle entered the living room. She had taken a warm shower and changed, not like she needed to do so but she desperately wanted to feel water on her skin, she made herself comfortable and just did it. Maybe in hopes that memories of him would wash away from her mind and then she’ll wake up from this nightmare. When she opened the door to the closet, she gasped in awe. It was a walk-in closet. Bigger and more spacious than anyone she’s seen on TV. It was a bit empty, all that was in there were the lounge wears Tabitha had told her about, Halle dragged her luggage into the closet and didn’t bother unpacking, she just left it there and changed into something more comfortable.

Xavier's Surrogate THE DOCTOR
Why would he choose her out of every other woman that he knew? Did he see her as a joke or was he just looking for a way to amuse himself while being cooped up in this fucking mansion?!“You seem upset,” His head tilted to the side as he spoke, not a hint of guilt or any other emotion for that matter in his brown eyes, just blank. Almost like he was a robot not making any effort to understand what she was feeling at that moment…it made her feel like her feelings and reaction were not validated.“Of course, I’m fucking upset!” Shit!He’s still technically your boss, is it okay to be yelling at him in this manner?The corners of his lips twitched lightly, the only sign of emotion he had shown but it didn’t go past that.“Then it shouldn’t be directed at me but yourself, Halle,”The way he said her name should’ve annoyed the ever-loving shit out of her and made her want to smack his face but instead it only made memories she’s pushed to the back of her mind parade on her senses a
Xavier's Surrogate ONE OF A KIND
Doctor Horacio was a nice man. At least that was what Halle wanted to believe when she looked into his eyes but she just didn’t get that vibe from him. Halle noticed that the man had stiffened up the second Xavier acknowledged his presence and gestured him forward. He grinned too widely and took slow steps to where they sat. He stood in front of Halle and Xavier, his smile too wide for his face, his gaze landing on Halle and making her squirm in her seat. “This is our family Doctor, Horacio,” Xavier said solemnly, looking at the mad like they both had some unspoken beef between them, they probably did. “He will see to all your health needs if you have any and run the proper tests,” “Nice to meet you, Miss Dean,” He outstretched a hand for a handshake and Halle took it while still sitting on the sofa. Xavier didn’t get up to greet him, why should she? His palms were callused, rough, and not what one would consider the hands of a doctor but yet his fingers were neat and trimmed to
Xavier's Surrogate A CRUSH
Do not enter Mr. Stone’s study without permission. You are allowed three visits every two weeks and six a month. Do not engage in any stressful activities intentionally as it would be a breach of contract if it endangers the fetus. All personal information must be kept to self as this is a professional relationship. No parties. Until the contract elapses, being in any relationship that would involve sexual activities is not allowed. “Ok, that last one is just a load of bull crap!” Greta scoffed and then stuffed a handful of barbequed chips into her mouth, chewing so loud that it echoed in the wide kitchen. “I mean are they telling you not to fuck anyone? Is that even supposed to be a thing?” “Jesus! Keep your voice down!” Halle exclaimed and stuffed Greta’s mouth with more chips in horror, she was sure everyone in the mansion could hear the woman’s voice...Especially Xavier who seemed to like spending time in the living room longer than he does in the study. It has been almost
Xavier's Surrogate LAID-BACK
Halle stayed up in her room for the rest of the day, only going downstairs to make a sandwich as she was too lazy to cook up anything extravagant.They had the ingredients and fuck they also had the best kitchen utensils, the types that looked like they were being polished but of if course it was just the quality’s natural gleam. Halle wished she could do more in that kitchen, turn it into hers but…it wasn’t hers and despite how many days she’d spent in the mansion, she still didn’t feel free enough to take such a big step and perhaps she never will.June, Collette, and Tabitha have tried their best to make her feel at home in the days they’ve spent with her but none of it really mattered when she thought about the way Xavier treated her. Like a non-existent employee.Damn it! It shouldn’t bother her this much!Halle stared blankly at the pages of the book she was reading or at least was supposed to be reading. She couldn’t focus, she couldn’t get the words properly in her head or
Xavier's Surrogate FAKE
“You…want to drop me off?” Halle didn’t mean to sound so incredulous but seeing as the man who spoke was Xavier, she couldn’t help herself. In the past week, she hardly saw him and whenever she did, he hardly spared her a glance so she tried her best to stay out of his way just so things wouldn’t get weird between them and now here he was, faint warmth that she couldn’t understand in those brown eyes and his beautifully shaped brows raised in question. “Do you not want me to drop you off?” Did she not? “Oh!” Halle exclaimed and cleared her throat awkwardly, “ No!” She coughed, “Of course not!” She chuckled. “I would love it—I mean really appreciate it,” It took everything in her not to vomit the rest of the rubbish she wanted to. His eyes narrowed after she was done blubbering, his discerning gaze made her feel like he was peeling off layers from her skin and seeing what lay beneath. Like he could see through everything she said, like he could see her thoughts and that wasn’t som
Xavier's Surrogate THREATENING
Xavier drove like the wheels were on fire or rather like they were being chased by the cops or something, he took unexpected swerves and unapologetically stepped on the brakes whenever there was a sudden red light.All through the hell of a drive, Halle dug her teeth into her bottom lip and stayed silent while hoping that her blind trust in the man wouldn’t get her killed. She held on to the door handle for dear life but yet didn’t shut her eyes, she tried not to look at him either, she wondered if it was his attempt at getting her riled up or maybe he just wants to fuel his amusement.The thought of being just a form of amusement to him made Halle grit her teeth and her eyes narrowed with determination.‘Why not go faster?’ She wanted to say with an acidic tone that she hoped would burn through his clothes and leave a mark.The drive which was supposed to be at least two hours took just one hour, before she knew it, they had pulled up at the front entrance of the university.T
Xavier's Surrogate MOTHER
The sky was dark, clouds shielded the sun as they poured down on Halle’s skin, her bare skin. There she stood amid the rain in nothing but her underwear, the gashes she knew she had in her back had stopped burning, the coolness of the rain helped with it but, she was cold, so cold that her legs were shaking and her eyes could barely stay open. She wasn’t passing out, she was getting hypothermic and she knew another hour under the rain and she’d be past the point of no return. Just as she had given up, she felt a warm hand on her shoulder, sharp nails digging into her flesh, and warm breath against her ear. “I think you’ve learned your lesson!” A high-pitched voice said harshly, the nails digging deeper and creating more holes in Halle’s skin. She was dragged back, pulled away from the rain, and into the shield of a porch, her porch. “Don’t you think so, Maria?” “Yes,” Halle replied weakly, “Mother…”… “Miss Dean?”Huh?“Miss Halle Dean?” This time the voice became more persisten
