Xavier | Dark #1 [COMPLETED]

22.

"Mother." I replied back before she had the chance to say anything else. Katie and Mali both looked to me and I widened my eyes for a fraction of a second, silently telling them this was going to be a long call.

My mother never rang unless she wanted to scold me or use me for something.

"I've just called to ask what you're doing this term, are you coming home?" She asked, and I heard the hopeful tone to her voice, something she very rarely used. She always had her emotions in check so it was nice to hear her wanting me to come home.

"Yeah, I'm coming home." I stated. How ever much she exasperated me, I loved her and I needed my mother just as much as the next girl.

"Good, darling that's good!" I heard the clap of her hands and I knew she had her phone cradled between her ear and her shoulder.

"I can't wait to see you." I stated truthfully. I did miss home more than I let on, guaranted I'd be wishing to come back here after a few hours.

"I can't wait to see you either, darling. You're behaving over there, aren't you?" My mother took on a slight scold, I rolled my eyes again before sighing.

"Yes, yes." I breathed.

"Good girl. Right, I best be going, a mother has some programmes to catch up on." I heard my mother say as she began to get distracted over the phone.

"Okay, bye, love you."

"Love you too, darling." My mother hung up before I could say anything else and I locked my phone before putting it back in to my pocket.

I smiled as I went back to finishing the remains of my meal. A nice conversation with my mum was always something I looked forward to when I haven't seen her for weeks on end.

I still wish I had a father to talk to too, but that didn't matter much. I was used to not having a father. It had always been my mother and I, and that's the way it had always been, what I'm used to now.

"How is she?" I heard Mali ask. I looked up to her with a quizzical expression.

"Huh?"

"Your mother?" She looked to me weirdly before pushing her plates away from her body. I nodded.

"Good, yeah. I'm going home this term."

"What about Xavier? Are you leaving him here?" Mali and Katie already knew Xavier wasn't going home this term. Xavier had told me last night he didn't want to, and I didn't push him.

Now Mali had brought Xavier up, I had to think. I didn't want to leave Xavier here alone, not many people stayed here when they had the chance to meet family. Even though, I knew Nick would be there for him anyway.

"I don't know." I replied truthfully. I shrugged anyway. "I'm sure he'd be okay anyway." Mali hummed whilst Katie finally turned away from the hot blond behind her.

The crowded dinner hall was now slowly becoming lonely. Many people left before going back to their rooms or out and about somewhere.

After dinner, I said to the girls I was going back to my room. I didn't want to go out and I really needed to get back anyway. I would study, but I couldn't be arsed, and I just wanted to go to sleep.

I said goodbye before leaving the dinner hall, a yawn coming out from my mouth. I laid a hand to my mouth before dragging my body to my room.

Xavier had worn me out something chronic. I was exhausted, but totally in the good way.

As soon as I opened my wooden door, I saw Xavier sat on my sofa. He looked over to me as soon as I entered. I smiled at him before plopping down on the sofa beside him.

His arms instantly went around my body, and I snuggled in beside him, taking in his scent.

"Hey." He greeted. I laid my head on his lap, feeling sleepier and sleepier.

"Hey." I breathed. Xavier started stroking my hair, his fingers fiddling with the strands. My eye lids closed. "I talked to my mother earlier, I'm going home for term." Term was only a week and a half long, but I was excited nonetheless.

"Really?" Xavier asked, his voice quiet and deep. "For how long?"

"The week?" It was more of a question, because I didn't know myself, but I'm sure it was for the week only.

"Oh." Was his only reply. He sounded a little sullen, and I turned around until I was looking up at him.

"What's the matter?" I asked gently. Xavier shook his head.

"Nothing."

"Xavier..." I trailed off, hoping he would tell me. He sighed in reply.

"I just don't want you to go." He stated. "I don't think I'll be able to sleep without you now, I know it sounds stupid." I sat up in his lap and took hold of his face.

"It's not stupid, Xavier, I understand." I breathed against his lips.

"Well, can't I come with?" Xavier asked. I thought about it for a minute, he could come, of course he could. Accommodation wasn't a problem at all, and I'm sure my mother wouldn't mind.

One thing my mother loved was guests and new people to meet. Who wouldn't like Xavier?

"Of course. Of course you can come with me." I smiled before pecking his lips. Xavier smiled my way.

Xavier was coming to meet my mother. I should have been scared, like this was being rushed. But I wasn't.

And anyway, why should I let time rule my life? Why can't people just do things for themselves because they want to do it?

Xavier was bound to meet my mother one day, and I couldn't leave him here, so I was excited to take him home.

Plus, I couldn't sleep with out him now either, I didn't think. I had come accustomed to him beside me at night.

"I hope your mom is as nice as you are." Xavier laid his chin on top of my head.

"We're polar opposites, but she'll be nice to you." I stated truthfully. My mother wouldn't let anyone think she was rubbish or someone who always went around insulting others.

"I hope so." He replied before kissing the top of my head. It all felt so normal with Xavier. Suddenly, Xavier stood up with me in his arms. "Let's go to bed."

"To do what?" I mumbled in his chest. I felt the rumble in his chest as a chuckle left his mouth.

"To sleep and cuddle, Angel." He mumbled in my ear. I shivered.

He looked down at me when he laid me in bed after taking off my clothes.

"You know, you're the prettiest girl I've ever met, so fucking beautiful." I felt his breath cast over my face and I looked up to him with what must have been dreamy eyes.

He moved until his body was snug behind mine. I felt him everywhere, warm and comfortable. I sighed in content.
