Hazel POV
It's been two weeks since that accident and Xavier has been very protective of me. They all have been busy with many important work. Resulting for me to be bored as hell.
Skylar and I couldn’t have our girl time. So we decided to go for shopping. But for that I literally had to beg Xavier to let me go. He agreed but with the condition that we take bodyguards with us. I mean why will we need bodyguards?
We were like carrying twenty bags with us now. Yup that's how much we bought things. Also we are not carrying the bags our beloved bodyguards were carrying them for us. So, basically we are in the food court cause I was dying out of hunger. I ordered a burger with large fries and a chocolate shake.
While I was enjoying my meal, Skylar's phone rang up. She looked at the caller ID and then answered the call.
“Hey.” I looked at her. A few seconds later her expression turned from happy to frightened.
“How? When? We are coming." She ended the call and hurriedly dragged me to our car. The bodyguards following us.
“What happened ?"
"Get in the car.” The car roared to life and she sped down the road.
“Will tell me what is happening ?" She glanced at me and quickly focused forward.
"Promise me, you won't freak out.” I nodded my head for her to continue.
"There has been an explosion somewhere near the house.” I felt my whole world crash down.
What!?
“How is Xavier ? Are they safe?” She looked at me nervously then licked her now dried lips.
“His condition is not good.” I didn't know what to do. How to feel. How to think.
I was so lost in my thoughts that I didn't see that we reached the house. The lights were turned off and there were many guards around the house. My hands were sweaty. It felt like my legs were going to give up. Skylar opened the door and it was completely dark. Just as I got in the lights turned on.
"SURPRISE!”Everyone shouted. I looked around the house that it was perfectly decorated with drapes and lights. It was not very fancy but was beautiful.
“Happy birthday babe.” Xavier came and wished me. It to me a bit time to figure out what was happening. But sense rushed back to me and I remembered that it was 23 February, my birthday.
Everyone hugged and wished me.
“How did you like it?” Skylar came and asked me. I glared at me but later we both burst out laughing.
“Thank you so much for everything.” I said, pulling her in for a bone crushing hug.
“Hey! We did all these arrangements she didn't do anything. We worked our asses off and she gets all the credit.” Sam shouted while walking towards us with Max.
“I know but she is my favourite." Skylar stick out her tongue and I laughed. She went away with Max and Sam to the backyard where they were having BBQ.
Two strong arms wrapped around my waist and pulled me to a hard chest.
"Did you like everything ?" Xavier questioned and I nodded my head. A smile itched to my face.
“It’s amazing. Thank you for everything.” He turned me around and pulled me in for a kiss. He lips were warm against my cold ones. Sparks. Sparks were what I felt whenever he touched me. He was about to deepen the kiss when I pulled away.
“We gotta go everyone is waiting for us.” He pouted and I kissed his pout away. He nodded and we went to the back yard. The smell of meat hit my nostrils and my stomach grumbled.
“Lets go and feed you.” He chuckled.
"What? A girl needs her food.” He nodded while I grinned. The rest of the night was spent laughing, dancing, getting drunk and enjoying each others presence.
At 1 am, we all went to our respective rooms. I went to Xavier's and changed into one of Xavier's shirt. Yup I now stay in his room. He shifted all my things over here. I got under the covers. After a while i felt the bed dip and an arm wrapped around me, pulling me to a bare chest.
“Good night babe.” He kissed the top of my head.
“Good night.” I replied and yawned instantly falling asleep.
