The Gangleader Paction

Chapter 28: ➢ What In The Duke Of Hastings?

I felt like I was in episode 13 of a Kdrama!

"Is cereal a soup?" I asked absentmindedly still staring at our entwined fingers. 

"What?" His eyebrows raised in confusion as he stared at my sheepish smile. Oops, that wasn't supposed to be asked out loud.

I shook my head, recollecting my drunk thoughts before asking again, "Why are you here?" 

"I know you went to see Argent, I just had to make sure you made it back with the ticket," He glanced away from me for a second before replying back simply.

I narrowed my eyes at him in suspicion. There is no way in hell Xavier would just turn up at my house in the middle of the night to check on a stupid ticket. "Why are you being so nice to me?"

He raised his eyebrows as if a little surprised I'd even ask that, "I'm tired right now Skyler, and you're clearly drunk so I'm trying not to make this situation worse for either of us by losing my temper,"

I continued to stare at him through the narrowed slits of my eyelids. Sounds very dodgy. "How do you know everything?" I asked.

"Skyler, you have to understand, this is an elaborate plan that's been in the making for years now," He explained frankly, "Everything that's happened to this point in my life, everything. I planned it most of it, if not all of it,"

My head snapped up to meet his green eyes that always managed to make me weak in the knees.

"Even me?"

His lips pursed into a thin line, "Not your kidnapping, I didn't think your father would..." As soon as he said that I looked down at my feet, digging my shoes quietly into my carpet in slight awkwardness. Yes, no one expected my bastard of a dad would leave me, not even me. "But having you here, made everything go according to plan,"

"What do you mean?"

"Argent thinks you are his upper hand, his trump card, he thinks having you will give him an easy chance to kill me," He continued, "But you're my trump card,"

I'm his...Donald Trump?

"Xavier I don't get it,"

"I know you don't Skyler, that's why the less you know, the better," Xavier's green eyes searched mine for any indication as to how I was feeling, "Whatever happens, I need you to trust me,"

Trust him....?

I blinked at him, a small fear creeping its way into my mind, "Am I your sacrifice?!" I gasped, letting go of my grip on his hand to clamp both hands over my mouth again.

He remained silent for a moment before a small laugh escaped his lips. Making me feel like I've been skyrocketed to cloud nine. Wowie his laugh is so nice. But aside from his very attractive laugh, his face was slowly blurring out in my vision. What the-

Wait a minute, what the duck is happening? What the, who is turning the lights out?

"I won't...let...hurt...Skyler," I could barely make out what he was saying before my body rocked a little, trying to keep balance. Woah, the earth was accelerating a little faster than usual. "Skyler?" He called my name in slight concern as I shook my head vigorously, trying to keep it together. 

Xavier was being nice to me! I can't sleep and lose this moment.

I was losing it, slowly I could feel my body start to get heavier and heavier until I could stay upright anymore. My head was spinning and I felt so tired and sleepy. Was this what being drunk felt like?

"That's nice Xavy Wavy...I think I'm going to take a nap now..." I replied before completely losing any control of my body that I had left. He extend his arms out as I collapsed on him for like the third time today. Damn I should get drunk more often if this is how I'm going to get treated. "You're so warm Xavier,"

Awh man I'd give anything and everything to be like this again. I could really fall for this asshole if he wasn't such an asshole all the time. Too bad he's an asshole.

"Sleep, Skyler," He replied softly, shaking his head at my declarations. With one last glimpse of his beautiful emerald green eyes, I passed out cold.

🐥 ---------------------🐥

Look at that! Our baby boy Xavier has finally gotten some nice-ness ness to him. 

This was such a hard chapter for me to write because I was juggling Xavier's break through personality on top of his dickhead personality and it was so hard to balance it without letting one overpower the other. 

He ain't hubby material yet but its a start, and my my look how far hes come from "Man the fuck up Skyler," to "Sleep, Skyler,"

You love to see it!
