I smile watching Xavier sleep on the bed. I woke up like minutes ago and found out that we both actually slept off together.
We didn’t do anything.
But at least, I slept besides him.
I grab my phone from my bedside table but frowned not seeing any missed calls from either of my parents.
Ugh ! I should have known!
They won’t call!
They are always busy with their so called jobs! Never for once had time to check up on me like real parents do.
Too busy to focus on their only child.
I drop my phone back on the table slightly annoyed as I turned my attention back to Xavier’s cute sleeping figure.
I glanced around the room with its blue colored walls noticing how more expensive it looks.
Everything in here is worth billions.
I’m pretty sure of that.
The room was like a paradise and then the balcony, just few meters away had its own entrance, a bluish glass door.
I caught sight of his jewelries carelessly left in a drawer and also his money which was flung about, scattered on the wealth.
Hm!! That seems like a lot of dollar bills.
Everything in this room just screams wealth.
I look at Xavier’s face as I drew closer to me. Adrenaline rushed inside of me as I was really close to him at a face range.
Few meters away from his ever pink lips.
Those pouty lips that looks so juicy and soft.
I sometimes wonder what its like to kss him.
I raise my hand towards his hair as I brush the fringes of his hair backward and it made him look even more cute in that look.
Xavier mumbled something and I stopped moving my hand in his hair but just for a while as I continued with doing it later.
I just wish that I can have him all to myself.
I love him so much.
I don’t love him for his riches, I have my own money. He’s handsome but I don’t love him for his looks either.
I grew up with Xavier and we have been best friends ever since we were five so I’m sure there’s a lot of reasons why I love him.
Only if he can love me back. I’ll be so happy.
A sad smile came on my lips at the thought of him never loving him at the end.
I sighed withdrawing my hand away from his hair as I stood up from the large bed.
I stare at him one more time wishing there was a way I can make him love me, wishing that there was a way that I can make his heart beat for me.
But I can’t.
And all this sucks!
I was smitten with jealously when he was with Sam but the day, Xavier gets a girl that he likes …. I’m not sure if my heart will can take that kind of emotional pain.
I might as well just .. Just die of heartbreak.

?Paris Myers?
“So are you going for it? I’m asking ’cause your voice is a killer !!”. Travis emphasized.
“No! I’m not going”.
Just incase I win.
Three months away from Rio?
I can’t do that.
“Why did the expression on your face suddenly change? Did I say anything bad ?”.
“Huh? No!”. I turned to him. “Wait. What did you just say now about that tour stuff ?”.
“Winner gets to go on Xavier Marion’s three month world tour trip?”.
“Oh!”.
“Whats wrong?”. Travis asked concerned as he looked at me. “You don’t like the idea of the world tour trip or what?”.
“I don’t like the idea of the three months stuff. Why does it have to be that long?”.
“And why are you concerned about it? I mean, most girls that I know would actually love to be alone with Xavier Marion just for a day, let alone, three whole full months”.
“Well I’m different from them”. I mutter. “Its not that I don’t want to compete too in this competition too. Its just that I__”.
“Paris?!!”.
I look away from Travis and at the porch to see Tiffany standing there as she stared at us suspiciously.
“Oh! I guess your cousin needs you”. He said stepping backwards.
“Yeah!”. I mutter. “Guess I’ll see you later or another time then”.
“Yeah! Sure ! And just to be clear, we didn’t finish this conversation, just so you know”.
I laugh lightly. “Seriously?”.
“You should laugh more often. Although , I can’t see your face clearly because of that hoodie. It makes me think you beautiful”.
“Thank you”. I say a little shyly.
I begin to laugh even more as he winked at me before jogging back off to his own flat at the other side of the lawn.
Hm! What a nice guy.
Yeah! Nice!
Just like Jeremy!
I finally look away and walk towards the porch where Tiffany stood all this while.
“What were you doing with him ?”.
“Who ?”.
“Don’t give me that look. What were you doing with Travis?”. She asked coldly.
“Okay, I don’t know what you are talking about or thinking about or insinuating right now but I wasn’t doing anything with him”.
“You weren’t doing anything with him? You two were close to each other, like really close , if I didn’t interrupt then I’m pretty sure you would have kssed him”.
“Tiffany! Watch it!”. I warned her angrily.
“Are you really that desperate? First, you were all over my boyfriend, Jeremy and now you are all over Travis too? You have a problem”.
“And you have a problem too, Tiffany. What the fuck is your problem?”. I retort.
“My problem is you. Travis is for Tamika and you should know that”.
“Forget about that! You have a problem with me and I know its not even about this because I don’t see how its any of your business as to why I was with Travis”.
“Oh! So you got balls to insult me now? You need to know one thing, Paris. You and I are not on the same level, and I don’t have a problem with you except the fact that you brought your ugly face to my house”.
“I’ve always had the balls. Look here, Tiffany, watch the way you speak to me, just because I’m keeping quiet doesn’t mean you have the right to continue with your dumb insults”.
She scoffed. “Like I said again! This is my house and its you, Paris, that needs to watch the way you speak with me”.
“This isn’t your house, last time I checked , you’ve never paid the rent before”.
“Just shut up, would you? And besides, take off that useless hoodie because it doesn’t fit you. No wait, keep in on, I don’t want to see that trash you call a face”.
My eyes got wet with tears as soon as she said all of that scorning me.
“Oh! Lest, I forget. My Mom asked me to call you for dinner!”.
I scoff as she blew me a kiss making me glare at her with all the venom I had in my heart.
Okay! Tiffany, you wanna play the hard way, huh?
Thats fine.
Its about time I give you a dose of your own medicine.
