Boss's Order's

Chapter 10

The next morning after an extra long shower with Xavier, we both emerge from my bedroom to find an overly excited Melinda making breakfast.

"Hi guy's," She chirps happily at us.

"Morning Mel, did you sleep okay?" I ask her politely, as she hands me a plate of pancakes and bacon.

"No not really, I got woken up by the headboard banging against the wall. But hey! I'm happy for you guys, so it's all good." She cheekily replies, causing me to choke on the pancake I was eating.
Xavier grins at me, and pats me gently on the back.

"Melinda!? Cut it out. Yes, we're together now, and yes I'm very glad you're happy, but please don't embarrass Aria like that." Xavier grumbles at her.

She smiles sheepishly, at me and nods. We all sit quietly eating our breakfast, and I feel genuinely happy with them both here.
After I help Melinda wash up, I loan her some clothes to change into, and we both go upstairs to dress.

Xavier left a little earlier to go home and change -he had to go into work to sort a few things but promised to be back later to take us out for dinner.

Me and Melinda decided to spend the day getting to know each other, we have a lot in common, there's only six months in age between us; me being older.
She helped me clean around the house in the morning, and we turn up the radio, dancing stupidly as we go around room to room.
In the afternoon, we spend it baking all sorts of goodies for us to eat later, and I can't keep the smile from my face.

"So Mel? Do you work?" I ask her curious.

She stops mixing the batch of brownies and just looks at me for a minute, before nodding.

"Yeah, I'm actually an author. You might even have read one of my books? I write the Starlight series." she replies nonchalantly.

I gape at her in shock. No freaking way!?

"Really? I love that series so much, I've read them all. You're amazing Mel, this is so cool!" I say excited.

She just shrugs, and goes back to mixing as if it's no big deal. I shake my head at her, smiling.
After all the baking is done, the house smells amazing.

Xavier arrives back around 5p.m, and sniffs the air as he walks in, appreciatively.

"Wow, you've been busy. Smells amazing in here." He grins, licking his lips.

"Yeah, me and Aria spent the day baking and getting to know each other. She's a fan too!" Mel replies grinning.

Xavier just smiles at me.

"So, you read Starlight, huh? Oh well at least you aren't a crazy, stalker fan." He replies smiling brightly at me.

"No, not that bad. Although, I do really like the books." I reply winking at them both.

"So Xavier? Where are you taking us?" Mel asks him excited.

"We're going out to eat first, then I have a surprise for after. Are you both ready?"

"Yeah, I just need to grab a jacket," I reply, and leave the room to grab it from the back of the chair where I'd left it.

Going back into the lounge, I see Mel with her jacket already on, and Xavier waiting for me.
He comes over and lightly places a kiss on my lips, making me blush.

"Break it up you two, I'm starved. Time to go!" Mel shouts at us impatiently.

"Come on, then!" Xavier replies and leads us out to his car; a different one this time, but still black.
