"I missed you a lot." He then said while sipping his champagne.
My heart literally melted after hearing his statement.
"I missed you more." I then held his hands.

"How did you know?" I asked.
"I know stuff." He answered.
"Hmm , interesting." I said.

"She's okay. She keeps on telling me to pass he regards to you." He answered.
"What did you tell her?"
"That you went to Dubai  because you were transferred." He answered.
"Wow. I don't even know how it looks like."
"Don't worry."
"What about Amira?" I asked.
"She's doing great, she had another baby." He answered.
"Really? Aawwh your an uncle already." I awed.
"Yeah I know." He laughed.
After that we went to his car and drove to his home.
"Today's a sleepover at Xavier's ?" I asked him.
"Precisely." He answered.
"Oh no boy, I have to go to my place. Amber's having a dinner with her in laws to be."
"She's getting married." He asked.
"Yes and things are gonna be pretty tight since we don't have a place for the wedding and with shopping ."
"We have a place, remember the ballroom party we first went?" He asked.
"Yeah. I remember." I answered.
"Well then you guys can use it for the wedding for free." He said.
"No."
"Cmon Mariana, its okay."
"Okie then .I'll go tell her."
"Bye Xavier." . I then he left. The date was amazing.
"Where are they?" I asked Amber.
"They just left." She answered.
"Did it go well?" I asked.
"Yes it actually did, and what about yours?" She asked.
"Well mine went pretty good too. And about the wedding place, I have one for you, well Xavier gave us the place for the wedding, its in Texas tho."
"That's great, I don't mind. How much?" She asked.
"Free." I answered.
"Oh thank you so much Marie, that's gonna save our wedding budget a lot."
"Thank Xavier , not me. Anyways am off to sleep. Goodnight."
"Night."
It was Sunday. Am so happy that am going to spend the rest of the day sleeping. I really loved sleeping. It was just magical. Amber had left. And I had the day to myself .
*Hey, you slept well ?* just then I got a text from Xavier.
* Yeah, I did X.*
*Another date with me ?* He asked.
*No, Austins coming over, we're planning something.*
*Who's Austin?* he asked.
*My boyfriend. Jk bye X *
I decided to switch on the TV and watch a movie.
"Who's Austin Mariana?!" Just then a very angry Xavier came in.
"Huh? How did you even get in here?" I asked. 

"You don't wanna know." He replied back. "Who is Austin and why are you wearing that?"
He referred to my shirt which I had nothing underneath.

I then sat on the couch and he sat next to me.
