Warm Hands (Xavier Thorpe x Reader x Ajax Petropolus)

17# Prom

-----------------------------------------------

Hey, I'm so sorry that I haven't posted in SO long. I've been caught up with everything and have been putting my other books first. As you can tell, my writing has improved a bit and I apologize for it happening I  the middle of the 17th chapter of this book😅.

Other than that, I'm sorry but my posts won't be regular and it will probably take a while for me to get another chapter out, my priorities are going to another book right now. IM SORRY.

-----------------------------------------------

A quiet night is all I want: no wearing dresses and heels, no dancing, no makeup, nothing. I want to sit in my dorm, reading a good book with no interruptions... but of course, we can't all get our way.

-Nock, nock-

I ignore the loud bangs on my door, keeping my eyes glued to the book in front of me. 

"Y/n, you in there?" Ajax's voice asks behind my door making me sigh. 

"Come in." I reluctantly allow him in, not expecting two dressed-up boys to enter my dorm in full suits and ties. As I let out a short laugh Ajax and Xavier looks down at me, an unimpressed look on both their faces.

"Get up, we're going to prom with you," Xavier says, crossing his arms. I scoff.

"Yeah right, I told you both that I'm not going." Ajax grabs my book out of my lap and looks at it. 

"What, you're gonna stay in your dorm reading about..." He tries reading my book sideways before flipping it and trying again. 

"Yes, I will be." I quickly snatch the book from his hands, giving him a defensive stare. 

"Yeah, that's the plan, and it's not just any book." Sliding my bookmark in, I close the book and put it on my bedside table. 

"Come on, you should come with us," Ajax says, almost begging.

"We could go as friends" I look up at Xavier, my eyebrows scrunching slightly.

'Why should we go?'

I shake my head. 

"Nah, I'm not a dress-up-pretty kind of girl." A look of determination crosses both of their faces as they plop down on either side of me, my bed bouncing as they do. 

 "Come on, it will be fun," Xavier says, leaning slightly closer to me. 

"We could always dress you up instead." Ajax's face inches slightly closer to me, caging me between the two tall boys and the bedboard of my large single bed. 

'Too close!'

My face is slightly pink as I huff and cross my arms, finally giving in. 

"Fine..." Before I can protest, they both stand and pull me up from my bed, nearly making me faceplant. I catch myself and shoot both of them a glare. The two boys don't notice. They walk to my wardrobe, open it, and start searching for a dress, mumbling between themselves. I roll my eyes and sit back down on my bed, waiting for Xavier and Ajax to decide what dress for me to wear.
