Arya's POV
I place the pizza box which Xander had bought before he left on the table and decided to take a look around...
I held one of the elegant and richly textured grey throw pillows and it was so soft...
What does he need a luxurious duvet for??? And the matching grey soft rug, damn it feels so smooth and ticklish under my feet...
Wait, did he have black and grey striped drapes??? I've always wanted to have one...Lucky guy... I never thought blending grey and black would look so good...
Jackie should know about this... She should see where her besfriend spent the night.
I picked up my phone from the nightstand
I know Nick and Jackie must be worried sick...
I switched on the phone and just as predicted twenty missed calls from Jackie, Nick and surprisingly Andrew...
"Hello bestie???" I said excitedly when she picked the call...
"Where have you been shortie??? Do you know how worried Nick and Andrew are???"
"Let me video call you, you won't believe what happened to me last night..."
"I want to know everything... Details from A to Z..."
"Calm you titties woman, let me call Nick and Andrew first then get back to you"
After I was done lying to my brothers that I had taken a break and went to stay at our cousin Elena's place, I facetimed Jackie...
" Sweet holy waters, where are you shortie???" Her mouth was wide open...
"You haven't told me where you are..."
After narrating the whole story to her, she couldn't believe I actually kissed Xander...
"My little girl is growing up, you mean you kissed a stranger..." She fanned her eyes, faking a sob
"I was heartbroken Jackie and Xander was there to offer a shoulder... Anyways let's check around the house.."
The bathroom had a cabinet full of towels and bathrobes, a faucet and a walk in shower... The room I slept in was just simple... a bed, nightstand, a mounted 32'inches TV, closet and nothing more...
The kitchen was equipped with all modern appliances...
"Wait, what's his name again??? I need to find out more about him" Jackie suggested
"Xander but I don't know his surname.."
"Okay let me search for all the Xanders, then you can tell me which one of them is your Prince charming..."
I nodded wordlessly...
All the pictures she sent, none of them looked like Xander...
"Shortie, are you sure that's his name... what if he is a d**g dealer???" Jackie said frowning
"I don't think so... He's so sweet and charming... I don't think he would harm a fly" I defended him
I opened the last room and almost collapse...
"Jackie, look!" I showed her the room and she screamed...
"I want to come to where you are... I can't be the only one dealing with the landlord... I want some vacation too"
"Stop being a cry baby, I can't believe someone is living the life we have been praying for... Life is so unlucky..."
"And unfair... He is handsome and probably rich Arya" She added
The room had left me speechless... By the look of it, it was the cute eyes' bedroom... I'm sure waking up in this bedroom would be like waking up inside a warm cloud... and the glass window gave a perfect view to see our beautiful city... Some people are very lucky
I walked into his bathroom and I could swear it was 10x the size of my sitting room or even bigger...
I diligently stepped on the black gloss tiles as I looked around... who the f**k has painting in their bathrooms???
"Wait a moment, is this his bathroom???" Jackie yelled dragging my attention back to her... I'd forgotten we were facetiming...
"Yes Jackie, it's the size of our sitting room or even bigger... what if he's married?? He can't live in such a big classy apartment alone???"
"Who cares, live life for the time you are there... so when are you coming back to the slum?? or you'll never come back???" She teased
"I just need my ankle to get better, it still hurts... I should be back by this evening"
I bathe using a basin and a jug, and this guy gets to have a walk in shower and a bathtub... it was a spa-like bathroom...
I love the decor used in the bathroom... it was a bit darker than pewter walls and it gave the bathroom a romantic look...
"We'll talk later Jackie..." I disconnected the call before she could say anything...
I limped back to the living room and noticed I'd not seen a custom bar cabinet... There was a huge photo of a soaring eagle, glamorous chandelier, coffered ceiling, classy black sofas... Xander who are you really??! You seem so young yet you have such an expensive apartment... Are you really a d**g dealer like Jackie had said??????
I shouldn't be thinking about that right now, Matt just dumped me... I thought as I felt the sadness coming back.
I sat on the comfy couch and unlocked my phone... I scrolled through my gallery staring at the photos that Matt and I took together... We looked so happy, where did things go wrong???
Tears began dripping from my eyes as I drowned myself in my sorrow... Funny enough, I miss him and want him back... Maybe I should call him...
I dialled his number and crossed my fingers as it rang...
📲 "Hey puppy, how are you??" I whispered
📲 "Move on already Arya and stop calling me!!!" He yelled and disconnected the call
I couldn't control it anymore as I let out all the pain in my aching heart
Ethan's POV
After practice, I couldn't help but laugh remembering the crazy night and morning I had... For the first time in a while I was excited to go home....
It actually took me by surprise that she didn't recognize me... It was weirdly nice to meet someone who doesn't care about my status...
How can a girl be so weird, funny and crazy at the same time?? Arya Almasi you are something you know... I smiled
"Why are you so happy bro???" Noah, my best friend squeezed my shoulder....
"What??? I am just happy" I looked away embarrassingly
"Who is she??? Another one night stand that I don't know about? He raised his eyebrow looking at me curiously
"it's none of your business" I replied dryly
"Since when don't you tell me about your one night stands..."
"See you tomorrow guys, practice is over..." Coach Weiner shouted and we all cheered before dispersing to the changing room....
"No, I've to know what's making you happy... it's been a while since I saw you smile... Since Ivy left for Japan one month ago, you've been gloomy..." Noah said
"I'm just happy... No one night stand, No nothing" I said in almost a loud whisper and walked past him
"Hey Marcias, don't feel like a hero just because you scored one goal in Brazil..." lan shouted behind me...
I never understand why Ian doesn't want to move on from the past... Ivy chose me
He should put on his man pants and stop acting like a moody angry girl...
I turned to face him and faked a smile "lan just get over it... Ivy is mine and the sooner you understand that, the better!"
"You stole her from me Marcias, you enticed her with your stupid money and status!" He cussed out
"Ian Jones, enticed or not she is mine" I winked at him and smirked
He charged to where I was ready to pounce on me but his friend George held him back...
"lan you should stop being a chicken..." I laughed making him more angry
"Marcias one of these days, I'm going to hit back where it hurts..." he swore
"I'll be waiting Jones... But don't be too confident..." I saluted and left the changing room
I really miss Ivy, the world seems so dull without her... She has this way of making my life colourful and beautiful... Not only was she beautiful but smart and confident too... All I have with me now is her alluring scent on my t-shirts... Ivy I miss you so much...
Noah snapped his fingers on my face dragging me back to reality...
"Lost in thoughts again???"
"I just miss Ivy... I wish she comes back soon..."
"We can go to your place and have some beer.."Jack suggested and I nodded when it dawned on me that Arya is still in my apartment.... Sh*t I almost forgot...
"I remember I have to go home, Mom is coming over... Next time bro..." I hasten my pace before he could say anything
I really hope Arya is hanging in there alright and hasn't spent the whole afternoon crying over her ex....
