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
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
