Half A Heart [Book #1]

Chapter 7

Jade

I was anxiously waiting in the diner for him. I was so excited that I even woke up early and it's a miracle cause me! I "Jade Rose King" Never wakes up early in the morning. Even if there was an earthquake or alien attack I would've never woke up. Anyway my whole room is full of my clothes because I didn't know what to wear. I think I've changed at least 9-10 outfits. I was so engrossed with my thoughts that I didn't hear the bell of the door opening. But then I heard murmurs around the diner. Curiously as I looked up I saw Xavier. He was in a casual outfit. It consists of a black t-shirt and leather jacket a check shirt was hanging around his waist and plain black pant with black boots. Even though it was nothing special but he looked handsome. I mean very handsome. All the girls were ogling him. I felt a tug in my heart but I quickly shoo it deep inside my heart. I was also wearing a black leather jacket with black shirt and a high waisted maroon mini skirt with one length boot heels. We kinda match.

He was looking around. But when his eyes met mine he smiled a warm heartwarming smile and waved at me while walking towards me.

"Hey, I'm sorry I'm 5 minutes later", he said sincerely.

" It's okay. I just arrived ", I waved my hand dismissing with a laugh.

" Did you order? ", he asked.

" Umm, no. I was waiting for you ", he said. " I thought you would want me to wait for you to order together ".

" Oh thank god! I didn't want to order alone ", he said jokingly.

A waitress came at our table. She was way too close to Xavier. I hated it. I sent draggers at her but she didn't even acknowledged me as if I wasn't here. Her dress was way short for this kind of weather and her tits were showing and if she bent even a little bit her boobs will fall off.

" Hey! I'll be your waiter. What would you like to order? ", she purred.

I was shocked did she actually purred. Like seriously? What is she? A cat perhaps. I was annoyed like hell. I wanted to punch her. I don't know why but I hated her. Even though she was desperately trying to gain his attention he didn't even looked at her once. He instead looked at me.

" What do you want? ", he asked sweetly. I looked at him smiling.

" Pancake with blue berries , French toast with chocolate syrup and a Americano you? ", I asked.

" I want the same as her", he said without looking at her.

"Your order will be in a minute", she said purposely brushing her hips to his side. Xavier didn't said anything but he was clearly uncomfortable.

After a while our order came. The same slutty waitress came with a smug look.

" Here's your and your sister's order sir ", she said sending me a look I didn't quite get. I looked at her strangely.

" How the hell do you think she's my sister? ", he asked the waitress annoyed. " And also who hired you as a waitress? Didn't they taught you not to flirt with a man who is a customer and who is with his woman? ", he asked angrily.

I was over the moon hearing him calling me his woman. But the waitress looked horrible. The color from her face drained out. She was looking at him with horror.

" I'm so sorry sir", she apologized.

"Do me a favor", he said. " Don't show me your cake face again ", he said dismissing her coolly.

" You're mean and bad", I said teasingly.

"What can I do. She was shamelessly flirting when I was on a date with a beautiful girl", he said smirking at me and winked.

I laughed aloud but didn't say anything.

" Btw you have British accent but you know look like an English guy", I said curiously.

"Oh, I am actually Italian but born and raised in England. That's why I have english accent", he said. "BTW we have to discuss about the wedding".

" Yeah, that. We have to go there earlier than I thought ", I said suddenly angry.

" Okay, tell me about it", he said.

I told him everything . I thought he would back up but he didn't. He agreed.

"Here are the half money. Other half will be given after the wedding", I said giving him the half money. " Buy suits. You must seem like a big business man and borrow some sportcar or what ever. I hope it will be enough but if you need anything else just tell me".

"No problem. It will be alright", he assured me.

" Then we will be going to LA next week ", I said.

" Yeah. Now it's time for our actual date ", he said lending me his hand to stand up.

I grasped his hand and stood up. He gave money on the table and walked out of the diner with my hand interwind with his.
