XAVIER'S PRECIOUS ✔ {Editing In Process}

Uh...what?

1 Week later

Erica POV

A week may have passed since he played the prank on me but it still feels like it was yesterday. I was the laughing stock of the whole company and it isn't something I can forgive easily. I guess him getting a pretty good beating from me offered some sort of consolation. He deserved it, why would you do that to someone? Yeah, I do love pranks but that just went a little too far. I'm still the laughing stock of the company, don't think I can't see the mocking glares from people.

Today I am going to Alison's house with Xavier, Elizabeth and Roner. The only reason we are going there is because Alison was nuts about meeting Alison, we were simply asked out of politeness. According to Alison, Olivia is her daughter which makes Xavier and Olivia siblings... right?

However, I can't seem to shake this uneasy feeling seeing Olivia and Xavier together. I can't help but feel there is something behind their sibling relationship. Don't get me wrong, I love Olivia, she is really sweet and down to earth but I can't help but think that they are meant to be with each other. Xavier has the smile that reaches his eyes making them twinkle and it makes my heart ache, Olivia well has her billion dollar smile that makes boys swoon and makes me feel crap about myself. I envy her. They are just a match made in heaven.

I don't even know why I bother, it's not as if I have placed some claim on Xavier. He isn't mine. But seeing him with another women makes me angry but sad at the same time. I don't know what to feel for him, there is some attraction there but is it enough? For all I know, Xavier doesn't want anything to do with me as displayed by his previous actions. I just can't help but envy how she touches Xavier harmless as it is, but it irritates me. Why can't Xavier act with me like how he acts with Olivia? Why am I an exception?

''Erica! We have to leave today, not tomorrow, coming or not?'' Liz yelled from her car.

''Yup!' I yelled back as I locked my door. It dawned on me how rich she was as I walked to her sleek red shiny Lamborghini which could be spotted a street away. It was beautiful. I sat in the passenger seat afraid to ruin anything, it just looked so perfect.

''Where's Xavier?'' I asked, pulling my seat belt over me.

Liz gave me a knowing look and then smirked, "Just asking!" I scoffed. She and her double meanings were annoying me.

"Yeah yeah! I know" She winked at me ''He went to pick up Olivia." There was that feeling again.

''Oh.'' was all I could say. I chose to remain quiet, only contributing to the normal girly chit chat. We reached Xavier's house after half an hour, I felt like it couldn't have come sooner, I was dying to see what Xavier was doing with Olivia. Were they sharing longing looks? To my surprise, Xavier, Alison and Olivia were already there, I couldn't help but feel like a burden. Oh, look here! The peasant has arrived.

I got out of the car and walked to Alison as Liz went to park her car.

''Oh my! Erica! You look lovely!'' Alison said as she enveloped me in a big teddy bear hug.

''Thanks, Alison'' I blushed. ''I agree with her'' said Olivia with her bright smile as she placed her hand on my shoulder with admiration.

''Thanks, Olivia'' I smiled back at her, it was nice to be surrounded by people that were genuinely nice. She is making it harder for me to hate her, why?!

''Are you kidding me? She looks fat! '' Xavier laughed out loud at his own lame joke. I felt hurt, a lot. It saddened me because everyone was giving me compliments and it was nice to hear them especially when you don't hear them often. I shouldn't have thought that Xavier would have been one of those people to praise others. He doesn't even compliment me when it comes to work so why should this be any different? I felt sorry for him.

''Xavier!'' ''Shut up Xavier! '' Both Alison and Olivia defended me.

''And you look like a black crow! '' I retorted. That was a lousy remark, but it was all I could think of especially because it was a big fat lie. He looked like a Greek God in that black tuxedo.

''Oh really?'' Xavier smirked. He could see right through me.

''Yes'' I firmly said.

''Absolutely''

''Totally''

The three of us, Alison, Olivia and I spoke in unison.

''You guys suck!'' Xavier stuck out his tongue like the child he is.

''Mind your language young boy!'' Alison scolded Xavier making him huff which made me and Olivia chortle.

Billionaire huh? Even he can't get away from a telling off every now and then.

''What did we miss?'' We turned around and saw both Liz and Ronner standing there smiling.

''Oh nothing, Xavier's getting a scolding from his mommy'' I smirked.

''Oh boy'' Liz rolled her eyes while Ron grinned.

''Now if you're 'Oh let's irritate Xavier' time is finished let's go inside,'' He spoke grumpily. Without any further ado, we went inside. The last time I came didn't exactly give me the time to look at the house, including the 'ooh's' and 'ah's'. You would think a guy who hadn't come to work and wasn't in the good mental state would have a clean house. However, it was ridiculously clean (props to his housekeeper) and that wasn't any different this time around. It looked so luxurious, spotless and amazing, I felt myself falling in love with his house.

''Now Erica, I heard about Xavier's awful prank on you'' Alison spoke once we were seated at the dining table.

''Oh please don't remind me, it was awful'' I scoffed remember the humiliation and embarrassment.

''Hey! Be a sport, you're such a baby Erica.'' He rolled his eyes.

''No I'm not!'' How dare he!

''Yes you are''

''No I'm not!''

''Yes!''

''No!'' Every word spoken became increasingly aggressive and louder. I wasn't going to let him win. We grew closer and closer, leaning over the table as we screamed at each other.

''Yes!''

''NO!''

''YES!''

''Guys stop it!'' Olivia yelled.

''Yes! You're like toddlers fighting over each other for a manky old toy!'' Liz laughed, I couldn't help but blush.

''You're like made for each other'' Ron smirked. Yup, the blush has made another appearance. Even Xavier shifted in his seat uncomfortably.

''So well do you know why I asked you guys to come here?'' Alison smiled at us showing off her dazzling white teeth. There come the butterflies...

''No, tell us, tell us!'' Olivia bounced on her seat, clapping her hands.

''Well, since I have only one son and he is getting older, I want to get him married.'' Alison was smiling, but we could sense the seriousness in her voice. Everyone was quiet, either by choice or because they were too shocked. I know what I was.

Wait a minute.

Her only son? She means Xavier? She's talking about Xavier's marriage?????

''What?'' Xavier was astounded.

''Oh my god! '' Liz was stunned as well. ''With whom?''

Yes. This is the question, with whom.

Alison stood up and took a deep breath.

''Olivia.....''
