"If you weren't Xavier Salvador, who would you have been. What would you have loved to become."
Xavier smirked, still eating his pancakes, "Certainly not a chef."
She shrugged, "You cook so well but honestly I'm curious. Tell me. If you didn't have Salvador's conglomerate to manage, what would it have been for you?"
He paused, then a frown flickered on his face before he replaced it with a smug grin, "Nothing. Mr. Dominic saw to it that my mind was shaped to be CEO and nothing else. I was basketball president, music instructor, and soccer coach," He tilted his head back, watching her intrigued face.
"Funny thing is that I hated soccer, thought basketball sucked, and was horrible in singing though good with the instrument. The point was that" He smiled, "He saw to it that I was always a leader. Have this thirst for power, used to people followi
Maya closed her laptop with a sigh, done pretending to herself that a Marathon of Never have I ever, will take her mind off Xavier. It was no use as the replay of what had happened in the kitchen kept making a return in her head, without her own volition. She heard the revving of an engine, making her sigh in relief. Finally, Xavier was gone, she'll be able to leave her room now without the risk of running into him and hearing him try to pacify her with lies. God, her face should as well be uploaded to the word pathetic in the dictionary. Just remembering the pity in his eyes as he had looked at her made her tummy remain in knots. He had looked at her like she would a homeless wet dog. Like he was scared she might just slit her wrist or do something even nastier if she didn't get some kind of cooked-up validation from him. Her tummy rumbled, she checked t
Maya wondered if she was going too far at her charade as her lips quivered, tears gliding down her cheeks while Jessica rubbed her back comfortingly. She raised her head Peeking at him through her lashes, he looked disheveled and completely out of it. Deciding to end his misery and Jessica's, she stood up and then glaring at him, she shook her head, "Now I think you are punished enough for calling me fat, undesirable, and not your type. What do you have to say?" A smile teased Jessica's lips making Maya shocked while at this point Xavier was leaning on a chair, his eyes that of incredulity and wonder not knowing Maya had it in her to pull such a stunt. "I'll give it to you, you have talent but I didn't know when I had seen the signs, you know your Pinocchio telltale but I decided that Xavier deserved to suffer too."  
No, that'll not happen. I won't let Maya be exposed to such Ever." Xavier glared at the man who'd suggested something so outrageous and satisfied with how hard he'd gulped in fear, he tucked his hand into his pocket about walking out when he saw Maya. Her hair was disheveled. She was just waking up from sleep. She was barefooted which explained why they had not heard her come in. "What won't you let me be exposed to?" Her voice was tiny and her eyes wide. Seeing Xavier in such a mood was not really a new sight but knowing he was this riled up because of something that was connected to her, was a whole new foreign land. A land she was scared of exploring and figuring out. So she'd allowed it to remain a patch of just green grass and dirt in her head. "Maya, you are up?" His Rolex shiny watch caught her eyes and then she took in his white shirt, tucked into grey pant
"Stay poised, smile, and joke your way through a sensitive question, your head should be straight and your shoulders poised at all times. Looking away is a sign of weakness avoid it." Laura quickly mumbled as the tech guy announced that the interview was about to commence in five minutes. "Lastly, don't ever be silent, being quiet is an admission of its own. Avoid it." Maya smiled at her even though she felt like screaming and asking her to stop making her even more nervous. Xavier had refused to come to the studio saying that he can't watch insensitive questions being jabbed at her and not be tempted to hit the annoying popular news anchor of everything celebrity, Mr. Sampson on his mouth. The bigger the party, the merrier and that was why they had decided to go on National TV rather than the local reporters who wanted an interview. Consequently, that decision also came with the infamous anchor know
"You did good baby," Xavier whispered, kissing the top of Maya's head. She looked at him, still shocked to see him. The shock she haven't recovered from ever since he burst into the room breathless and noticing she was staring at him, he had given her a heart halting grin and a thumbs up. The rest of the interview had happened with Mr. Sampson, shaking like he was the one being interviewed even though he held the questions. "I'm so glad to see you." She whispered. "Hello, we are here too." Jasmine butted in, smirking. Maya turned to face them all, Mrs. Laura, Melissa, Jessica, and Jasmine. "Thank you all for showing up." "We couldn't possibly let you have all the fun of kicking that anchor's ass on TV," Jasmine smirked while the rest Chuckled. "Quite a nice surprise to see Mr. Sampson being at the receiving end of the glowering, smirking, and ev
"So what next?" Maya asked Mrs. Laura. It has been two weeks since the interview and there has been no sign of her blackmailer, taking the bait. The interview was meant on publicizing where she stayed which was in turn supposed to make her vulnerable to their attacks but so far nothing has happened even the threat mails have abruptly stopped coming. "It is obviously not working," Xavier snapped, "Can't believe you have to go through all that trouble for nothing at all, even worst I can't believe you talked me into agreeing to such ploy." She rolled her eyes, "Don't you think you are crying More than the bereaved. I was the one interviewed, the one who has a serial killer on her tail and probably with any slight mistake the one who might end up ___" He slapped his hand firmly over her mouth and then with a warning glare he shook his head, "You should never talk about that ever. You won
"What do you mean by nobody showed up?" His new substitute assistant flinched at his outburst. He was the 3rd in a week. Xavier narrowed his gaze on him, even as he smacked his lips and tried to compose his expression. "It's either they are suspicious or they are off my back. Nobody showed off." Maya repeated. "I did everything as we planned," Maya's voice was low and gravelly making him angry that this was putting her through a lot of stress. Emotionally and physically. "I went to the House to pick up the duffel bag as we've planned," "Maya." His voice was a whisper, "Deep breaths." He coaxed. He could almost imagine her rubbing her hand on her face and then with her hands now wrapped around her body, she takes a careful burst of deep needed breath. "Maya all will be fine, soon." He sat down on his seat, his hand ruffling hi
Maya waited impatiently, even as she heard the doorknob turn, to resist the urge to take a little peek of where they went she placed her palm over her face. She understood that he didn't want her to know where his treasure laid so she didn't go there all the time hence the blindfold but damn, the wait was Killing. The smell of paint hit her nose even before he lightly shoved her and then removed the blindfold from her eyes. In split seconds her eyes was adjusting to the light in the room. Pale grey walls, windows that showed off the city but she could tell the pedestrians didn't have the same luxury. Her eyes then landed on the paintings hung on the wall. Her legs made their way to them before she could stop herself, her fingers tracing one of the pictures of a boy writhing in his bed, underneath it lay hands clawing on his neck more like a Dropbox exposing his horrifying dreams. Maya
"Can I open my eyes now?" Maya whispered as she felt something around her neck. "Not yet." Xavier hollered from a distance and she grinned wondering what he was up to. Firstly he had interrupted her bridal shopping spree with the girls since it was a week before she'll finally be with this weirdo forever and now he was running around the house if the footsteps resounding against the floor hurriedly was anything to go with. "Now open your eyes." "Okay..." She first opened one of her eyes then another and smiled at the full-length mirror in front of her that showed the only thing that was different in her looks. A locket. A beautiful silver locket with glitters. She opened her mouth to say something and he hurriedly raise his hand in the air to stop her and then swiveled the mirror making her gasp in total shock as she hadn't seen that coming at all. It was a canvas. No, s
So we have come to the end of Resisting Xavier. Thank you for sticking with me till the end of this book... It mean so much to me trust me. So although this is the official end of this book I just might be dropping a bonus Chapter soon.... And perhaps a prequel that might feature Xavier's and Maya's big day though I'm wondering whose story should be written. Jared's? Jasmine's? Tyler's? Or cute Jessica and Alex? Too many options to choose from but until I make up my mind, you can check out another of my book I just signed that is about a kick-ass heroine. Lipsticks and gun. Thank you and I love you all ❤️
Maya chuckles momentarily as she could hear Adele's Hello from the background. No, she wasn't admitting that her choices in songs were toast like Xavier had constantly insisted but this was not the playlist to be playing loudly downstairs during sex she thought even as Xavier grips the headboard above her head with one hand and her hip with the other, thrusting his hips and pushing his cock inside of her. "Ahhhh," she cries out, dragging her nails into his chest. His arms almost give out. "Maya," he moans, closing his eyes at the pleasure. It's so hot and tight and wet. She shakes, her mouth open in both surprise and pain. He leans down to kiss her, "You're doing good. Just hold onto me." Her breathing calms, and he hated that he had to do this, but it is better not to tell her anyway. He slides out, almost all the way, and then thrusts, sinking all the way inside her this time, to the hilt.&nb
His cock bulges and seeps, and he continues eating her while he tugs down his joggers. She digs her nails into her thighs and he sucks on her clit, chewing it gently as her stomach rises and falls, faster and faster. He looks up from between her thighs, and the image of her on his bed, her eyes tightly shut and her hands fisted on the covers while she rolled her hips into his hand, hungry for him made him fist his cock with one hand, stroking it while he drops down to keep eating her. He swirls and nibbles, sucks, and licks syncing with her breaths and going faster and harder as her lungs fill again and again. "Yes... Yes." She pants, her legs opening wider. One leg on top of Xavier's shoulders and the other on the bed. "Fuck, I'm coming." She shakes, her short shallow breaths wracking through her body. "Oh, God... Xavier, you feel so good." She sucks in a breath and he knows
She pumps him, dipping her tongue into his mouth, to taste and feel, and the world was spinning behind his ears. He wanted her in his bed. He wanted her now.He presses his forehead to hers, hugging her to him. Their bodies started moving as he thrust into her hand and she rolls her hips to meet him, both of them panting and kissing until he was just a bit ready to rip off her clothes. "No." He mumbled almost unsure especially as she continued to trail kisses down her neck. "No..." He let go of her breasts and pull her shirt down before taking her hand off his cock. He clenched his eyes shut. "Go, Maya. Go to your room and lock the door." He let out in a whisper. "Xavi__" "Please." His eyes met hers hoping she could see he was struggling and was just about to break with a snap. "But what if I don't want to?" She pants, staring at his mout
Xavier had spent hours the night before, going over this particular moment, all he could say to show his sincerity, to truly express his love, how to react, and what to do but as he knelt in front of Maya watching her eyes shine with such pure glee his head suddenly went blank. He looks down at himself thoroughly amused, "I know you have had more proposals than an average girl and crazy enough from the same guy and that should have been enough warmup for me to now say the right things, make you swoon and luckily forget what an idiot I am and trick you into saying yes but all I can say is that this time I'm sure. I can see now. Somehow, I have always known my ring belonged on your finger not only because you have shown me so much light than I could ever imagine but you're the best thing that has happened to me and you make me laugh when I don't even feel like smiling. I'm so sorry but I'm thankful for your cheating boyfriend, grateful for your ridiculous decision
"Say freaky!!" Ashley who had already pre-assumed by Maya, later on, met them in the manicure and pedicure shop hollered as she took a selfie picture of Jasmine as expected indulging her, Jessica's brow was arched in disbelief, there was confusion in Melissa's eyes and Maya was laughing yet it was the perfect picture that was able to capture just a hint of that moment, the memories.***Maya smiled even as she helped Melissa hold her shopping bags as her phone rang while they were on the cab, on their way back from what was a ridiculously fun and long day. Jasmine has gone overboard with shopping hence the bags that they were surprised they could manage to fit into the car with themselves. They also bought nice charm identical bracelets now on their wrists that although was cliche especially as Ashley had said it was going to be a sort of BFF identification, Maya couldn't help but love the glittery beauty on her wrist but she didn't know about the BFF thingy because, f
Maya smiled as she hung up. She had just gotten off the phone with Melissa who had informed her that they were at the airport and she could already hear an animated discussion or banter between Ashley, Jasmine, and Jessica in the background which wasn't at all a surprise. All the girls did when they were together was banter and argue continuously which could be tagged discussions depending on the way you look at it. Her birthday was a day after tomorrow and she had been moved by the gesture when Jasmine had remembered and suggested that they come around to make it memorable for her and she had agreed not only because she had missed them so dearly but because it is been three months of gazing at her phone screen wishing that Xavier name was on it but knowing she wouldn't know what to say if that happens and she desperately needed a distraction from thinking and pining for him. Three months of wondering why she had to open her dumb mouth and s
So guys, I had this book completed on my Wps document that was backed up to my drive. I woke up yesterday to find everything gone. I'm still in a state of shock and though I might come around to rewriting this work but be patient with me if updates come slower than expected as I'm literally in tears as lots of my documents are still missing. I'll try to like wait it out, and see if this is a system bug or just a huge joke because my life is a mess literally right now. Might drop updates tomorrow or next but definitely not today because I don't think I'm in a frame of mind to write anything having lost 300k+ work from three of my not nearly done book files also missing. I'll appreciate suggestions if anything like this has ever happened to you and how you resolved it because trust me everything in my life is a huge mess and I can't stop crying. I don't even know where to start from!!!
