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
Xavier's Surrogate XAVIER'S SON
Oh fuck it. She kissed him and then bit down on his lip hard, she didn’t hear a complaint despite that being her main goal. Instead he wrapped his arms around her waist and brought her closer, forcing his tongue past her lips, tangling it with hers and deepening the kiss until they were both out of breath. They pulled away slowly, and when she opened her eyes to look into his, her heart slammed in her chest like the organ wanted out. Those intense emotions in his eyes were almost too much for her to handle, his thumb caressed her lips leisurely and a faint smile on his lips as he looked down at her swollen ones. “I love you, Halle,” He said, his whisper one that held fierce emotions. It made her whole body sway and her mind blank out for a few seconds. All she could see and feel and think about was him. What was she supposed to say in this situation? She wanted to say those words but—“You look like you’re holding in a fart,” Xavier mused and Halle responded by smacking him har
Xavier's Surrogate TO FOCUS
“You look really good this morning, it’s been a while since I’ve seen you…this way…” Andrea said, her eyes on Xavier, taking in every detail, looking like she had plans to gobble him up right there and then. It was obvious to anyone with eyed, the woman was still attracted to him. Xavier didn’t seem to be bothered by her stares though, he looked like he was used to and instead, his eyes were on the child in front of him. Halle was trying hard to find focus on what she was doing and also trying to make sure Tabitha didn’t scratch Andrea’s eyes out got reasons she would ask about later. As she tried to cook, her eyes kept landing in their direction and she couldn’t focus on the food she was trying to cook. But she began the process anyways. “Go straight to the point,” Xavier said coldly, Halle noticed his eyes never left the boy's, deep confusion in his eyes as he spoke. “Well, I’m sure you must’ve already noticed that Damien here is your son,”Although Halle had already k
Xavier's Surrogate FILTHY HANDS
Halle managed to get through making the breakfast without getting hurt, setting herself or the kitchen on fire, and damn it was harder than she thought, especially when the man she loved and was pregnant for was having a serious conversation with his ex-wife who supposedly gave birth to a son which he knew nothing about. Why was everything so complicated? It got worse with every passing day. Halle begrudgingly made breakfast for everyone including Andrea who she would much rather let starve. Don’t think like that. It is just your hormones. You don’t hate her, you hardly hate people. Halle chanted to herself as she and Tabitha set the table and served everyone. Tabitha had left right after but not before sending a glare in Andrea’s direction with which the woman returned with a smug grin. It made Halle wonder what had happened between the two that upset Tabitha so much. “Sit here,” Xavier caught her hand and said, probably because he’d noticed her taking her food out of the k
Xavier's Surrogate SUCCUMBED
Andrea crossed her arms over her chest and sneered, “Either way, I don’t want your whore's filthy hands touching my son!”Xavier inhaled sharply, his fists shook and Halle could tell he was trying hard not to take any drastic action in front of Damien. “Don’t call her that, if you can’t call her by her name or treat her with respect then I suggest you leave!” Xavier stood up, his chair squealing uncomfortably because of the speed. “Leave?” Andrea scoffed, “I and my son aren’t going anywhere!” She declared, “We already have our bags set up and we are here to stay!”“On whose authority?”“Martha’s!” Andrea retorted, “Martha has given me and the ‘heir' of the Stone family to live in Stone Manor for as long as we want!” She announced, shocking Halle and she was sure, Xavier as well. “Martha…” Xavier said under his breath. Then he nodded. “Don’t unpack yet,” He said and then turned around to walk out of the kitchen. He was fuming mad and Halle hoped he wouldn’t disrespect his aunt unin
Xavier's Surrogate NO RESPONSE
Dark. It was so dark, her eyes felt heavy and it was hard to breathe. Halle couldn’t tell if she was alive or dead. All she heard was Martha's voice echoing in her head over and over again and it only served to remind her just how disposable she was to the Stone family. Halle felt cold, then she felt the urge to cry. She was feeling a little of thing at that moment and lastly she wondered, would Xavier find her before it is too late? Or would she end up dying in front of that library door. This wouldn’t be such a bad way to die, she’s already achieved what her mother swore she wouldn’t, graduated and somehow had her name written in the records of a big university. That was more than she ever imagined her life would amount to. Maybe this would be the best way to go. While the darkness took her deeper and deeper into its unexplored depths, Halle wondered why she had to die when she had only just started her life. Being with him felt like a second chance, starting over on s
