Twenty minutes later Cassie and I were eating dinner.
I couldn't stop looking at her, she is so beautiful.
Every few minutes I will put a piece of food on her plate and she will eat it without hesitation.
She eats like there is no tomorrow and I like that she isn't like those ladies.who pretends like they don't like food that much and always eat small in font of men.
"I'm full"
She leaned back in the chair her hands on her belly.
"I don't think I can walk upstairs " she said with a pout on her face.
"I wasn't the one who told you to eat that much" I said sarcastically with a smirk.
"But you were the one who kept putting food on my plate" she in irritation.
" You could have just tell me to stop"
I threw back at her that kept her quiet
"hmph" she snorted stood up and went upstairs. I laughing so hard my stomach hurt, I wiped a tear from the corner of my eyes.
U sent the plate to the kitchen and washed the dishes
I came back to the living room and sat beside her mother.
"I hope you will take care of her Xavier, I don't want my daughter to get hurt. she was very close to her dad , ever since he died she changed and became quite...... you are the reason she is talking again and herself again" Mrs Atkins said with both a smile and sorrow on her face
"I wouldn't hurt her, I will try my best to make her happy" I said without hesitation, she smiled and thanked me.
"I wanted us to surprise her on her birthday next week" I told her what I have in mind.
"Well that will be a big surprise for me".
She said with a big smile but I could see sadness at the corner of her eyes.
"Really" I asked a little bit surprised
"She doesn't reall talknor celebrate her birthday ever since her dad, my husband died so I hope that will be a big surprise for her".
She explained everything to me and I now understand why she never mentioned her birthday
"okay I will o to bed then, good night".
She said her goodnight and went upstairs. I was really tired, so I made my way up the stairs.
As I was walking up the stairs I tripped and fell down the stairs and my head the edge of the railings.
I felt something trickle down my forehead, black dots started blocking my view and I gave in into the darkness.
CASSIE POV
When I went upstairs, I went to take a shower. i wore an oversized t-shirt and shorts. I played on the bed and everything that went on today was playing in my head like a tv show.
I can't believe he had had liked me since.....I don't know. I pulled the blanket over my head and tried to catch a sleep when I suddenly heard a noise downstairs "thud"
like something just fell. I git down from the bed and went downstairs to check what it was.
When I got down, I saw Xavier unconscious at the end of the stairs "Xavier?!!!" I ran down the stairs and knelt beside him, I shook him softly but he didn't badge so I shook him a little hard but still he didn't badge " Mom!!, Mom!!!" u shouted for mom, she came and asked me what was happening, when she saw Xavier on the floor and her eyes widen "oh God, what happened?" she asked me again.
"I dunno, I heard a thud and i came to check and met him like this" I explained my voice shaking.
" Let's take him to his room and clean the wound for now, we will take him to the hospital later".
We were able to carry his heavy body to his room, that wasn't easy at all. I told mom to go back to her room and I will take care of him.
" Are you sure honey?!" mom asked worriedly "yh" I said assuring mom."okay goodnight" she gave me a kiss on the forehead.
I cleaned his wound and sat beside him to see. I was feeling drowsy so I just leaned my head on the headboard and slept off.
The next morning I woke up feeling the softness of the bed under me.
" wait how did I end up on the bed?" I whispered to myself, I looked around the room, thus this wasn't my room.
This is Xavier's room, what I'm I doing here. And then everything came rushing back.
I looked around but couldn't find him. Suddenly I heard the bathroom door creak open and Xavier walked out. My eyes widened at the godly figure standing right confront of me.
I swallowed hard, I can feel the heat rushing up to my face. He has a perfectly chiselled chest, that broad shoulders , the slim waist and those six packs. oh my god, I was drooling over him.
" You can tell me when you are done staring g at this god like body " he said with a glint of pride.in his eyes. "You are so full if yourself"
I said my face like a red tomato.
" oh really, but you know , I'm now your boyfriend so you can touch my body however you want" his voice was so attractive and seductive, I was blushing really hard, damn this man, he really can talk and rizz a woman.
I didn't know that side of him.
"No-no tha-thanks" I stammered, I quickly ran out of the room, I could hear his laughter behind me. I went back to my room to do my daily routine.
I was walking toward my class at school when I accidentally bumped into someone.
"Oh, sorry! I didn't mean it," I apologized. I raised my head to look at him. He was a handsome Black guy with curly hair.
"Hi, I'm Mike," he said, stretching out his hand.
"Hi, I'm Cassandra, but you can call me Cassie," I replied, shaking his hand.
"I'm in my final year. How about you?" he asked.
"Oh, really? I'm a senior, too! I'm actually on my way to math class right now." As it turned out, he was in the same class. He walked me to my locker while I grabbed my things, and then we headed to class together.
We became close friends from then on. He was a great guy to be around.
One hectic day, after school was finally over, I went outside and spotted Xavier. I waved at him with a smile. He waved back, smiling too, but his expression suddenly soured when he noticed who was standing beside me. As we got closer, I introduced them to each other, but Xavier still looked annoyed. Even though he knew Mike was just my friend, the frown stayed on his face.
Eventually, Mike said goodbye and headed home. Xavier clearly didn't like me being friends with Mike. I told him that Mike was just a friend, which seemed to calm him down a little.
