3rd Person POV.
*not edited*
"Maw! Paw!" Xavier called out walking in the penthouse hotel he put his grandparent in for their stay in Georgia.
He didn't think they would appreciate hearing his husband moaning all night.
Closing the door behind him he was greeted with silence and he looked around confused. He wouldn't normally got yelled at by his grandmother for yelling by now.
Walking to the kitchen resting the flowers he got for Cloe on the island before opening the fridge contemplating on taking one of his grandmothers juices before he took it up.
Turning around hearing footsteps
"Naw I took one'a yo juice." He said sitting on the high chair
"They're not here at tha' moment." Melissa said and he nodded
"Wea' they go?" Xavier asked opening the juice and drinking some
"They went to a cafe Maw saw a couple days ago."
Xavier nodded
"Cool."
He stood up about to walk back out the door
"Xavier can we talk?"
He stared at the woman. Watching her body language, she was obviously nervous. Shit she was talking to her son after 24 years, who wouldn't be?
"What you wan' Melissa."
She exhaled before she started speaking
"I just want to let you know I'm so sorry. Maw and Paw wasn't in the best situation financially and it wouldn't of help taking care of me and a child. I was a teenager year old. I was a child myself. I was scared so I left. I could've barely take care of myself, I couldn't take care of a baby.
Umm...I thought your father and I were in love. That was proven to be a lie after I left home and went with him. I was second guessing myself the day I left but he somehow convinced me to stay.
Then after I found it in me to leave his manipulative ways and come back home, Maw and Paw moved... I'm sure you had a lot to do with that.."
she trailed off and Xavier continued to stared at her making her shuffle on her feet a bit. She wasn't stupid, she knew exactly who the man she called her son in front of her was. She knew what he was capable of and she knew what he did. His nickname was very known along with his friends.
"I know who you are. And I know what you and your 3 friends do-"
"Twone is my husband."
He finally spoke up and her eyes slightly widen in surprise. Her eyes shifted down to the black band covered in black diamond around the edges and round cut diamonds in the middle that rested perfectly on his ring finger.
"You like men?"
"I love my husband."
She nodded at his straightforwardness
"I've heard enough about you guys do and I don't mind. I'm not here to ask you to forget the mistakes I've made in the past. I will love a relationship with you...your my only child. I'm asking if we can move forward.."
"No."
The only thing that Xavier heard out of her mouth was complete bullshit. She left her 2 year old because she couldn't raise a child but she didn't think about that while she was having sex? She left her 2 year old instead of getting a job to help support him? She left her 2 year old son with her parents that struggled financially to run off with her boyfriend at the time because they were so 'in love'. She clearly chose a man over him and now she was trying to flip the situation.
"I don't hold any cause of resentment toward you tho'. I just don't wan' you in my life if I'm bein' real witchu. I don' mind you bein' around if Maw and Paw do keep you round. I accepted the fact that Ian have no ma at 11 I'm bout to be 26. I only started livin in Georgia early dis' yea'. Ian hard ta' find. I was still on tha' same street damn nea' every week when I was in Chicago, and if you asked bout me I'm sure you could'a find me.
I don't want my children to know you as they Maw stop tryna introduce yo' self to Kehlani as that, 'n I don't want to have a relationship wit' you.
You ca' be a family friend asum. I 'preciate ya lil back story tho."
Xavier spoke honestly, as harsh as it may of sounded he wanted no relations with the woman in front of him. He accepted that fact that he had no parents a long time ago, so he was well healed from that hurt.
Throwing his juice in the trash before he turned back to face her looking at the slightly shocked look on her face. That wasn't the answer she expected. He could see that tears in her eyes, he didn't care tho. He wasn't one that left.
Seeing that she obviously had to answer for him he walked from the kitchen heading out the door.
-
"10 bedroom, 4 and 1/2 bathroom. How do you feel about it Sir?"
Xavier looked around the house he was looking at and let out a heavy sigh. The house met all of Twone's wants but they didn't have they yard he wanted.
He wasn't about to let the little encounter with Melissa mess up his plans.
"Ion needa house this big. 7 bedrooms is coo'. I want a bigger kitchen, even bigger yard, 'n less carpet."
"A bigger yard would make the house cost more sir."
Xavier mugged the white man
"Ion care." He said simply making the man nod slowly
'White bitch ass playin wit me.'
Xavier thought to his self walking out the house while taking out his phone. He started the trackhawk with the key before he sat on the inside, it was 52 degrees outside but he left the heat on liking the cold.
"Yooooo!"
Twone answered the FaceTime call putting his entire face close up to the camera.
Xavier smiled calmly down from the frustrating day he had before I pulled off the drive way.
"Ian talk ta' you all day baybe. What you doin?"
Antwone backed away from the camera showing Xavier his shirtless body and his black pajama pants.
He watched as he picked up the phone and flipped it showing him a cake.
Twone never fully got the whole cooking concept so he decided instead of putting everybody's life at risk, he would just make a box cake.
"Call me chef fuck you talm bout." He spoke speaking to nobody in general nodding his head. "What you do today? When you comin' back?"
"Ian do much today baybe. I'a come in bout 15 minutes."
He didn't know Xavier was looking for a houses, he wanted to surprise him.
Antwone nodded and kept talking his head off, Xavier of course listened and gave his feed back when Twone would pause a bit knowing he wanted his to talk back at the moment.
