Xavier's Surrogate TEMPORARY
There was a terrace that led to a balcony with a small garden. Halle walked slowly to the garden, enjoying the cool breeze that caressed her skin and calmed her raging thoughts. Her hormones were doing a lot, she wanted him and this was what she was afraid of that once she had him, she would never have enough. Infatuated. This was what Greta had warned her about even when she had told the woman that she wanted to be with him despite it all. Now the intensity of the emotions she felt towards him scared her, love. She loved him but there was this niggling at the back of her mind that told her she would get hurt if she gave her all. Halle didn’t want to give her all. She wanted to be under the illusion that this was just doing Martha a favor, or she was trying to keep him happy before he succumbs to his illness but no. No. She knew it was more than that. Once Halle reached the balcony, she fished out her phone from her purse and dialed Greta's number, her heart and mind a myriad
Xavier's Surrogate EX-WIFE
“And since when have you become so weak and meek, the Halle I know always takes what she wants, when she wants…go and romance the hell out of that sexy man and maybe slip my phone number into Tunde's pocket,” Greta asked humorously, Halle laughed and clicked her tongue. “There is no way I am doing that,”“Party pooper,”“Shithead,”“Toilet seat,”“Drainpipe,”“Goodbye, bitch!” Halle laughed and ended the call, shaking her head with amusement. Greta always managed to lift her spirits and despite being so hot-headed…the woman was really good at giving advice…at least in some cases because Halle could remember the one time Greta had convinced her to take a job at a strip club and she ended up being mistaken as a pole dancer. Long story short, Halle had to get stitches for being pressured to get on a pole she had no experience with. The memory made her laugh and shudder at the same time. Maybe she had overreacted when she left the party in such a hurry, she felt in control of her emoti
Xavier's Surrogate HER EFFECT ON XAVIER
Back for good? The fuck does that mean?! “Xavier had called me last night, said he wanted me to come over…so which made me assume you were out already but then again,” She looked down at Halle’s stomach again, out of impulse, Halle used her hands to shield her lower belly from the woman’s gaze, not liking how unsettled it made her feel. “You're with him due to special circumstances, I understand he can’t just kick you our whole you’re carrying his child,”“He…called you last night?”Andrea's smile widened and Halle wished she didn’t give the woman the satisfaction but she did. Last night her and Xavier had fallen asleep, spent from their ‘activities’. At a certain time she had groggily opened her eyes and his phone was pressed against his ear and he was speaking in a really low voice so she wouldn’t wake up. Halle had wondered who he was talking to at that hour but she was to sleepy to form the words so she went back to sleep feeling that it was nothing to worry about, besid
Xavier's Surrogate SORRY
The drive back was long and filled with thick silence. Xavier had covered her bared shoulders with his jacket and taken her back to the party only to inform Tunde that he was leaving and that he should take care Victoria because the woman was in no state to go back home with them. Then he leaned in and whispered something into Tunde’s ears and he looked pissed while doing so, Tunde had pulled back with surprise in his eyes then he nodded and then walked up to Halle. “Thank you for coming to my party,” he said with a warm smile, whilst he kissed her hand, Halle felt him slip a piece of paper between her fingers and then leaned down to whisper into her ears, “I'm always willing to help, with anything you need,”When he pulled away, it was now Halle’s turn to look surprised. “Take care of him for me,” He said earnestly, a hint of sadness in his tone. Halle nodded, although her feelings were quite jumbled up and conflicted, she made the promise because she intended to keep it. Once Xa
Xavier's Surrogate EIGHT YEARS
Halle shook him off and made her way to the bed, she didn’t sit down but rather pathetically reached for her the lace ropes behind the dress as she tried to get out of it. She heard Xavier’s sigh behind her and then his footsteps as she made his way towards her and tried to help her undo the lace ropes used to hold the dress. Halle slipped the paper Tunde had given her into her purse and set it down on the bedside table, making a mental note to check what was in it once she was alone. Something told her that he didn’t want Xavier to know what it was and just to be on the safe side, Halle decided that she would keep it from him as well. The last thing she wanted was to make an already rocky friendship get worse. As Halle stepped out of the dress and all that was left on her was the black lace underwear set Victoria had made her wear as a gift, she felt his hot gaze on her but she pretended not to notice. She folded up the dress and kept it on the bed. Then she set her heels on the ta
Xavier's Surrogate READY
“Why didn’t it work out?” Halle probed, she’s learned in the past few months of knowing Xavier that whenever he was willing to give any information about his life, she had to milk it out of him right there and then and know everything she wanted to. He hesitated, his lips parted and then closed. He let out a ragged breath and ran his palms down his face. Water sprayed down on them like rain and cascaded down their skin with a gentle caress. All that could be heard was the sounds of their heavy breathing. Halle's due to her arousal and Xavier’s due to his hesitance to speak about his past marriage. He was hard and she wanted him just as she knew he wanted her in that moment but they had to get past this…or Halle wouldn’t be able to trust the man. “Andrea was selfish and so was I, we ruined our friendship with Tunde for a fleeting feeling. Andrea wanted more, she wanted to be the wife to the head of the stone family and have the power that came with it, I saw my mother in her so I
Xavier's Surrogate A PROMISE
Halle had no plans of telling him. She had made up her mind in the bathroom that she wouldn’t say a word. Until he treated her like…no one else mattered, like nothing else mattered. Right now it was just the both of them, no one else not even her past was strong enough to stop what she was feeling. How safe he made her feel. She wasn’t afraid to say the words to him, what she feared was what he would think right after he hears everything. “Before I tell you…promise—”“Halle…tell me,” Xavier said, it wasn’t that he was not willing to make a promise to her, he just knew that there was no reason that could ever make him leave her. And while Halle saw it in his eyes she still hesitated, she wanted so badly to trust in that love and affection she saw in his eyes but… “My parents were better as friends than they were as a couple,” Halle began, her throat clogged up with emotion, “At first I didn’t see it and quite frankly it didn’t show that much until my brother died…then they chang
Xavier's Surrogate HALF ASLEEP
Morning came too quickly in Halle's opinion. She spent the entire night in Xavier’s arms and though she was tired and at some point had to pretend to be asleep, she couldn’t sleep. Something was off in the Stone family she could feel it. Something was off with Xavier and also his illness and something told her that he had the same thoughts as well. That though, he wouldn’t talk to her about and it was way too sensitive for Halle to try and bring home so she settled for resting in his arms. He never let go of her, even when he would shoot up abruptly having coughs that sounded like his lungs wanted out if his body, once they subsided, he would hold her in his arms against and then fall asleep. Halle had noticed that since she found out she was pregnant, she slept too much during the day and at night her eyes would be wide open like an owl no matter what she tried. Now she knew it was already morning and she was very much aware that she get to sleep. Her body aches and groan
