The Contract

Xavier's Pov.

I haven't felt this comfortable in years.

How can the bed be so soft?

I was awakened by the sun shining in my eyes. Flashing my eyes open, I found myself cuddling with Emily.

I thought I told her to not touch me!

I was about to shout at her but stopped when I realized something.

.......my arms were wrapped around her. I was the one cuddling with her and not the other way around.

Shit!

What's wrong with me?

Quietly pushing her aside, I got up and went to the bathroom.

I brushed my teeth and took a warm shower before ordering breakfast.

...

Emily's Pov.

I was awakened to the sound of the voice of a female speaking Italian.

" Ecco la colazione che hai ordinato padrone," she said while wheeling in a food cart. (Translation: here's the food you ordered master)

" Grazie. Puoi andare." He said and she smiled politely before leaving. (translation: thank you. You can go)

Rolling out of bed, I went straight to the bathroom and brush my teeth. Taking a shower after, I wore on sweat pants and a hoodie.

"Ok, sarò lì tra un'ora," Xavier said through his phone. (Translation: okay, I'll be there in an hour)

Sitting on one of the couch, I took a plate of pancakes, scrambled eggs and toast.

"Did I tell you to take anything?" He asked while glaring at me.

"I'm hungry, okay?" I said while taking a bite of my pancake.

Sending me a deadly glare, he went back to eating.

"We're going to a meeting in an hour." He finally broke the silence.

"And why should I go with you?" I asked raising my eyebrows.

"Look, it wasn't my idea. It was my dad's. He wants me to take you to my meeting to show you off" he said in an annoyed tone.

"Okay. I'll come but....only on one condition" I said and he sigh

"What?!"

"You take me to the amusement park tomorrow," I said and he glared at me again.

I love amusement parks and haven't been on one in years!

"I'm not taking you to any amusement pa---"

"Then I'm not going to your stupid meeting" I cut him off and he sat silently, glaring at me before signing in defeat.

"Fine, whatever!"

"Good. Now when are we leaving?" I asked.

"In 40 minutes" he replied and I nodded.

"Then I'm gonna get dress," I said and got up.

"And please wear something that's ladylike." He said and I glared at him.

"Can't I wear some jeans and a sweater?" I asked annoyed

"God no! Wear a dress or something. I don't want you embarrassing me with the way you normally dress" he said to me and I gawk at him.
