The Arrangement

Chapter 21

Autumn

Once we make it to the house Mandy jumps out of the car before I even take off my seat belt , clearly she more angry about the situation then I am.

I get from the car and catch up with Mandy before she walks into the house. We open the door and walk in searching for Xzavier, i find him sitting on the living room couch with Jason while they both just watch tv looking bored.

"Xzavier Elijah Black I know damn well you didn't kiss that whore Cassandra!" Mandy voice booms through the living room while she gets the attention of the two boys. Even though that wasn't going to be my approach I still thank her for caring.

"What?!?" Xzavier shouts from the couch looking in between Mandy and I.

"We seen her at the mall with Matt and she told us that you two shared a moment yesterday" I say crossing my arms over my chest while eyeing him up and down.

He looks at me and then Jason before he returns back to me. I huff at how ignorant he's being but I still wait for him to say something.

"Can we talk upstairs?" He ask in a pleasing voice. I shrug my shoulders and walk upstairs into our room not in the mood for any lies so sugarcoating I need the truth.

Xzavier walks into the room and closes the door begging him before pulling me by my waist into him. I push at his hands until he lets me go and stand at the far side of the room demanding an answer.

"What happened Xzavier and I want the truth if you lie I swear"

He sighs and sits at the edge of the bed while running his hands over his face.

"We didn't share a moment it.... she cane back and I seen her while I was out shopping for the house.... she kissed me first! But I kissed her back and I know I made a mistake but kitten-"

I began to laugh hysterically while tears prick at the back of my eyes. I can't believe she was telling the truth , I still don't regret beating that ass but still.

"Kitten?" He walks towards me and I back away from him.

"I don't want to hear it Xzavier. Of course you'd kiss her it all makes sense you never loved me... I'm sorry that I've come to have feeling for you I shouldn't have said I loved you last night I didn't want to pressure you into saying it back and that wasn't my intention and for that im sorry and I'll keep my feelings in check while the contract still stands."

Once I finish my rant I look up at Xzavier seeing tears spill from his eyes as he looks at me in disbelief. My heart tightens just from the look on his face , I want to hold him and comfort him but I can't This was a contracted relationship anyway I shouldn't have let myself feel for him in any way yet here I am still deeply in love with him.

I take slow steady walks until I'm at the bedroom door I go to open the door and walk away wanting air about right now. He grabs me by my waist and buried his face to my stomach while he sobs.

I push at his face not wanting him to touch me , tears threaten to spill but I try and fight them back not wanting to to see me cry.

"Xzavier please let me go" I whisper while pushing his face.

"No! I love you so much kitten I swear I meant it when I said it please believe me I made a mistake but I don't feel nothing for her it was a stupid kiss and I feel like shit. I was going to tell you kitten I promise I was but I just wanted to wait for our spring break to be over this was suppose to us"

He looks up at me with blood shocked eyes while tears stream down his face.

"I just need some air Xzavier" I whisper out feeling a tear stream down my face.

"Can we talk about it I don't want to fight or argue I just want us to talk it out and get over it because I love you Autumn and I know you love me we're going to get through this kitten ,Okay I promise" he stands stands up with his arms still wrapped around my waist. He pulls my head so that we are face to face.

I look into his mesmerizing eyes that are a deep red from his tears , I feel like his eyes are looking through my soul as we stand and stare at one another. I want to hate this man so bad with everything , he cheated on me and kissed Cassandra which is Matt's cousin how does he think of me for being with Xzavier.

Matt has never cheated on me and I don't think he would if we still were together but here I am now with Xzavier as he cries and begs me to forgive him. I don't know what to do I want to comfort him but I don't want to at the same time.

"I don't know Xzavier I just want to go"

"No kitten please this is what she wants. She wants us to break up and I refuse to let you go, I don't care about her kitten I care about you truly I fucked up I know but let me prove to you I love you"

"Fine but I don't want to be in the house"

"Okay we can go for a drive" he pulls on his shoes while I grab the door handle ready to walk out.

Before I do he grabs me again bringing me into him. He kisses me gently and pulls away resting his forehead on my own.

"We're going to get through this kitten"

"Mandy said Cassandra did something to you what did she do?"

"Let's go I'll tell you when talk"
