Its Always The Pretty One

Chapter 23

When we arrived at my aunt's place, I rushed down in my room. Find something good to wear and immediately took a shower though I was still on debate whether I wear long sleeved black top paired with a brown pencil skirt way below my knees or a red tight cotton shirt with white pants? 

My aunt was basically still at work as my uncle get his kids back from school. Javier was at the living room. Maybe he can help me make a decision. I wore up my bathrobe and already wore my underwear and bra. I wasn't stupid.

"Javier I need your help. " he grinned at me coyly looking at me like he was checking me out. Cringe...

"Not that!  On what I should wear. " he Shook his head as he asked me to show it to him. He didn't liked having me wear white pants since his nana's tend to... Be cook delicious food and leave trails or maybe I'll spill something on it. He told me to look for another black top that didn't cover my elbows and should be a black blouse.

I nodded in agreement and go looking at my closet. Once he gave me an approvement of the clothes I should wear, I started doing a bit of make up. Doing my brows, had a little bit of coverage, flushed my cheeks and tinted my lips as I apply a bit of mascara. I had my braid messy and pinned it as a bun behind my head. Had two little strands of hair in front of my ears or the side. I even wore my heart shaped earrings though the gems on it was made of glass, the hoops and lock was made of pure gold.

Grabbing my black platform heels as I head back to the living room. My aunt texted me they'll catch up to me and Javier later meanwhile my uncle was stuck in traffic. He wasn't even my boyfriend but pretending only, I wanted to look presentable to Mrs. Cumberbatch since she thinks we're dating.

"What do you think? "

"Cute! " he snickered as I rolled my eyes and we locked the apartment after I was done.

"Hey don't you wanna change or take a shower as well? "

"I already did at school,  we had practice and I just need to change clothes at home. "

"Okay. " strapping down my seat belt as we head out to his nana's place.

"Are you okay with this?  Faking it? " I asked.

"Why, you like me already? " he smirked.

"That's not what I meant, I mean lying and fooling the others. "

"What about you?  What do you feel? " he changed and reversed the question back to me.

"I don't know how I feel, the fan girls are perhaps planning to kill me, your hounds well I don't know, your nana will be heart broken if she finds out the truth, and I've never been in a relationship so I don't know what to do. " speaking in confusion, I still had a lot to asked to talk to him but I don't think he's the right guy for that or if he even listened.

He droved in silence and never talked to me but when he parked the car he finally did.

"The fan girls can't touch you as long as you stick by with the hounds. The hounds were surprised you played a prank on Jillian. I didn't even expected you'll lead it with Morgan. It was a good experience for her plus nana will never find out if you won't tell her. I won't tell her a thing. " he spoke coolly.

I sighed and nodded. Adjusting my skirt and checked if my make up was okay.

"But I don't know what to do in a fake relationship? "

"It's easy, do the things you'll do for Anthony to me. " he kissed my cheek and chuckled and went out his car. What an idiot. He opened out the door for me and had my arm around his arm as we walked inside.

Mrs. Cumberbatch greeted me liked always,  I helped her set up the table as Javier changed his clothes. The woman was dressed formally like she was the President's first lady. She wore a lavendar suit with a pencil skirt like mine but mine hugged my waist line tightly go give it a curve. I expect eating less for the evening. She was joyful and active tonight. It's been months since she invited over guests but mostly cause his grandson finally had a girlfriend.

I don't even see myself as his girlfriend, Javier was better off with his kind.. The richy people. It was only a play to keep Mrs. Cumberbatch as bay and have me as her companion while I get Prank and see Jillian suffer. So much for Anthony, I liked it everytime Javier kissed my cheek remembering how Anthony's facial expression turn over.

Javier came down with his green polo and matched my skirt with the same color as his pants. He had his hair combed to the back and he looked cool wearing it. It was simple but his appearance and psychic brought out fashion screaming.

"Hello babe. " he smiled and kissed my temple as he greeted his nana as well and kissed both of her cheeks.

"Good you're here, the Grabowski family will be here soon. " she informed us.

Soon later they all arrived and dinner started. It was lively,  the grown ups were having a lively talk. While I baby sit my two younger cousins. As for Javier, he probably went to sleep already but he didn't. He invited out the kids to play at his room with a kids games playing from his x-box. As expected his room was big, a King sized bed, heavy curtains on the window. A giant flat screen TV on the middle near his bet, game controls, an x-box, disks and some trophies as his drawer.  It was neat and polished, his room recked of money!

Rich boy... He wouldn't relate to me. My aunt and uncle were in a good place but not my parents. We used to be until we have huge debts cause of my mother's sickness and my father was old. Though they're doing much better since papa decided to have the risk of stock market investments.

His room recked of his cologne, he always smell so good. That was a plus point for attractiveness. Not that I liked him but I just liked boys who smell great.

Me on the other hand was sleepy and I kept on dozing off as I sat on the edge of the bed holding my youngest cousin, rocking him to sleep. I was bored,  I had no one to talk with!

"Hey get some rest, I'll hold him for you. " he told me.

"I can't,  we'll leave later on. Sorry about the kids being loud,  you tired as well right? " I asked and cover my yawn.

"Not really, I have my step sister come in sometimes that's why I had girl games stored in my room. Give me the child before you drop him off your baby hands. " he grinned and get hold of my cousin.

I nodded and crashed down to sleep,  I was so tired. I didn't know why, perhaps I ate to much and now I was suffocating at my skirt.

Later he woke me up since my aunt was leaving. The others were still active but I was tired so I slept earlier though before I did. Pulling down my skirt was a challenge, I slipped in my shorts and changed my shirt as well. My phone vibrated as I got a new message.

"Good night babe 😘"  my eyes fluttered heavily,  it was Xavier. How did have my phone number?  I only had his.... Ohh. I texted him in the past.

"Night baby 😍, you too! " I typed in quickly and let the tiredness consumed me for the night as I slept.

Holy shit did he just texted me?
