Xavier's Surrogate WRONG
The sun was already up when Halle woke up that morning, its brightness and warmth caressed her eyes and made her groan in annoyance.She had forgotten to close the curtains again, she thought.“Wake up sleepy head, I think you’ve slept enough,”Great, now even the sunlight was talking to her too, it sounded smug and a whole lot like a certain redhead who sometimes acted like her life purpose was to make Halle sleep deprived.Wait… Greta?“Get up bitch or the next thing you’ll be getting is an ice bucket!” Greta said louder, her threat was enough to open Halle’s sleep-heavy eyes.It was so fucking bright!Halle hissed as she brought her palms up to her face just so she could block the light from hitting her eyes.“Oh don’t be so dramatic,” Greta was close to her the next second, pulling her hands away from her face and practically carrying her out of bed. Greta’s hand was behind her waist and under her legs as she took her off the bed and then placed her on the floor a few st
Xavier's Surrogate XAVIER STONE
The drive was as long and as quiet as yesterday’s, Halle felt slightly uncomfortable and maybe a bit embarrassed. Maybe she should not have asked about Mr. Stone. It seems like everyone is bent on keeping whatever the famed yet unknown owner of Stone Corp was doing a secret even to her who he’d just hired. Halle wished she could play along, as a child she was very good at keeping her mouth shut. Her words were never valued and never believed, she held countless secrets, and in a way, if spoke to the right person she could’ve been able to destroy a lot of lives. People said a lot of shit in front of her because they felt or rather they knew she wasn’t capable of saying those words out loud to anyone. Halle pursed her lips and turned her gaze back to hard jawed Monty who was clenching the steering wheel so hard that veins bulged from his hand and neck. “Are you okay,” “No,” He said, surprising her, “I’m angry and no—” he shook his head, “I am not going to tell you the reason so don
Xavier's Surrogate CONFUSION
Xavier… He looked bigger or maybe it was just her memory failing her. He towered over her like a redbrick biking that would never fall, his eyes devoid of any emotion, his lips pale…just like they had been when she was with him, his eyes darker, almost looked like they were filled with negative emotions but heavens! The man was still fucking sin itself.He took her breath away in more ways than one, shocked and blistering attraction and maybe a bit of lust.Halle let out a shaky breath as everything slowly began to make sense.“You’re Mr. Stone?” She yell-whispered, her finger pointed out in an accusatory manner.His eyes narrowed, his lips looked like they itched to lift into a sneer and quite frankly, Halle didn’t know what she felt about that.This man had spent three days in her home, made her feel what no one else, not even Simon has ever been able to make her feel, then he disappeared into thin air. Halle could remember the nights when she woke up and expected him to be n
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. Cott
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.
